Ewww caster lawl, i know nothing bout em, gl =P
So, I've changed a few things now. It took me a while but I got to it (even though I still have some to do).
Sque of Doomhammer
I managed to get my hands on a few new items.
Abyssal Rune instead of Shard of the Crystal Heart
Cauterized Cord instead of Braid of Salt and Fire
Lich Wrappings instead of Wrathful Gladiator's Cloak of Triumph
Amulet of the Silent Eulogy instead of Relentless Gladiator's Pendant of Subjugation
Sanctified Bloodmage Robe instead of Merlin's Robe
DPS Attempt 007: 6000dps vs. Heroic Training Dummy - Recount - Detail Window
DPS Attempt 008: 5274dps vs. Heroic Training Dummy - Recount - Detail Window
DPS Attempt 009: 5210dps vs. Heroic Training Dummy - Recount - Detail Window
Numbers taken while buffed with Arcane Intellect and Molten Armor, yet again.
And as you can see, there is some slight improvement there. Hopefully, more to come in a not too distant future.
Might be worth mentioning that I started off each dps test with Mirror Image and my Buff/Trinket macro.
I'm thinking about tweaking my talents a little bit though... to something like this. Any thoughts about it?
I chose to put a talent point in Slow in that build to be able to help out a little bit more during raids, it feels like it could be useful for some encounters, take Valithria Dreamwalker in ICC10/25 for one.
Rotation used can be found here.
(Sorry for the horrible handwriting and how it looks. I was just bored. )

I'm afraid my knowledge of mages is quite lacking, but I can say this with absolute certainty:
Your hit rating is way way too high. You need 17% total - you get 3% from one talent, 3% from another talent, and then 3% from a raid buff provided by a Shadow Priest or Boomkin. So you need either 8% or 11% hit from gear.
So replace your hit trinket with Abyssal Rune or something, and then work from there.
edit: and Incanter's Absorption seems to be one of those talents that is extremely handy for fights like LK, Sindragosa, or Halion where you'd be using your defensive abilities fairly often
Ah, thanks for the heads up. I did try it with Abyssal Rune, but it seemed to result in a DPS decrease, but I'll give it another shot for sure. Cheers.
Also if your using your defensive CD's to absorb mage damage why are taking Ice shards over frost warding? Trash dps doesn't matter.
Please note i am biased here. I don't like IA very much, i find that arcane stability will give you better results b/c of the push back resistance combined with the AoE damage auras common to ICC.
Lastly your have jewcrafting yet i see no dragon eyes? While sp + haste gems are generically good rune dragons eyes are amazing.
Abyssal rune over hit trinket. it will look like a gain over a time longer then 5 minutes i'm pretty sure.
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
I rarely have to use any defensive spells aside from Ice Block, so taking that one wouldn't benefit me a whole lot, just like Incanter's Absorption isn't. But I'm with you on that one, I don't care much for IA either.
Ah, yes, I even forgot about those gems... cheers, will get them for sure. And I'm working on getting Abyssal Rune as we speak (well, that was a lie, I'm eating right now, so taking a break from it).
Thanks a heap for the tips.
Consider Black Magic Enchant. It's debatable at your haste levels, but I say you can never have enough haste.
I don't know why you are barraging on a dummy, it's strictly for movements, unless you wanted to see how much damage it does. It doesn't scale with haste.
5000 isn't too bad against a dummy given that you are only self buffed. Not sure if you popped your trinket, your gloves, a speed potion, Icy Veins/QuadCore/Arcane Power or not.
Student of the mind is nice if you have mana issues, it extends the time before you have to resort to evocating, and it's a small amount of crit. I don't know if you go OOM or not.
Black Magic? I will look it up.
I used Arcane Barrage there to reset the Arcane Blast debuff back to 0, gives me some ease on controlling my mana, can go on a bit longer if I reset it. Just don't get me wrong, I don't really suffer from Mana issues. I did indeed pop my trinket as well as Icy Veins, makes me peak at about 6500-7000dps.
I ended up removing 2 points from Incanter's Absorption and placed them in Arcane Stability instead, it was far superior than 8% Spirit to me.Originally Posted by Cutpaper

I'm at work and haven't seen your spec or gear yet. Just thought you might want to see mine which seems to work well.
Sifublast on Jaedenar
I imagine your gear is better than mine from what you posted as your target dummy dps. I would suggest copying my trinkets unless you can get muradin's spyglass which is the best upgrade from either.
For arcane, spellpower and haste will usually balance out, by which I mean increasing one usually also increases the other. Favor haste over crit and spirit over mp5. You can use something like rawr to anticipate/guestimate what your upgrades would be. For instance, it shows abyssal rune as a dps upgrade over the frost vendor trinket.
"he doens't need healing, he doesn't need healing, he doesn't nee-WHAOSHIT!wtf was that man!". Please stop leaning on TDR. -Teng
Ah, thanks, will go through the armory and compare.
But yeah, I'm working on getting the Abyssal Rune trinket from Trial of the Champion. And as I mentioned a bit earlier, I'm going to replace a few gems as suggested. However, are the +39 Spell Power as good as they appear to be? I mean, am I really better off getting those rather than +34 Haste Rating? Or a combination of both? Say, 2 +39 Spell Power, 1 +34 Haste Rating or wise verse.

Yeah? I will give that a try for sure to see how it turns out. Thanks for the tip.
Ah, any tips and pointers for a Fire Mage would be greatly appreciated to. Or if anyone could nudge me in the right direction on where I could find out more. I would check the official forums but they seem to be holding a grudge against me, I keep getting an error about 9/10 times that I try to use them.

I think you generally want 81 SP on staves and black magic on one-handers.
Ah, with some luck I may have kept my old one-hander, the only reason I switched to the staff was due to my inability to find a decent off-hand piece.
Actually, come to think of it, why is that?
There might be some obvious answer to it, but it slipped past me for sure.. I'd elaborate it a bit more, but stuck boosting a friend in Karazhan with my Protection Warrior, so will edit this post once I get out.
Look at ElitistJerks for Fire and Arcane questions. For example, when to AM proc (always with 2pct10 to get haste buff, wait for 4 stacks if without 2pct10), what to do when you ABlast to 4 stacks and you still don't have an AM proc, etc., EP values and specs.
The Mag'hari is a VERY good staff, it's one of a the few times it's better than 251 1h+OH, because of the massive haste. I would only change it with 264 1h and at least 251 OH (Scourgelord Baton). Also, this staff has no hit, you might only have items with 1h that have hit (non hit items usually go to healers first, especially resto druids who desperately need SP).
Ah thanks, will go check there.
I think I do have some non-hit one-handed weapons, if I kept them, that is. But yes, I agree, the staff is good.
It's done me well since I got it, and probably will keep doing me well for a while longer.

The best thing you can do for your gearing is to get RAWR as it will adjust as you make changes in gear and give you the optimal gear and gemming choices as you collect goodies.
Thanks Goros, I really appreciate the help. Sorry for taking some time to reply, I've had my mind a bit occupied.
Also, giving Rawr a try, as both you and sifuedition suggested. Well, as soon as I get it to function properly.

Sorry for double posting, but updated the thread and would really appreciate another glance.
you're still wearing the wrong cloak. scrap the deathfrost boots for sandals of consecration for arcane (but they are good for fire).
go for your 4pc t10 as soon as you can - for arcane you want head, shoulders, chest and gloves, with the pants you now have. For fire you want head, shoulders, gloves, pants with the 264 or 277 chest off dreamwalker 25.
Other than that, you need at least the 2pc t10 so you can start saving mana and doing more dps (that haste boost is a must). Also, 81SP for a staff is slightly better than black magic, and since you are over 1k base haste (omg, btw) you're probably damn close to diminishing returns.
I'd personally be running toc25 every week trying to get reign if I didn't have it already, and try to get 251 or 264 spyglass off lootship 10. DFO is a must have also, but good luck getting it to drop and winning it.

NEW ORLEANS — An electrical device that had been installed expressly to prevent a power failure caused the Super Bowl XLVII blackout, the stadium's power company said Friday.
The utility took the blame for the failure that brought Feb. 3's NFL championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers to a halt for more than a half-hour.
Hours later, the maker of the fail-safe device said its product was not to blame. Instead, it pinned the problem on its improper installation.
Officials of Entergy New Orleans, a subsidiary of New Orleans-based Entergy Corp., said the device, called a relay, had been installed in switching gear to protect the Superdome from a cable failure between the company's incoming power line and lines that run into the stadium.
The switching gear is housed in a building known as "the vault" near the stadium that receives a line directly from a nearby Entergy power substation. Once the line reaches the vault, it splits into two cables that go into the Superdome.
Company officials said the device performed with no problems during January's Sugar Bowl and other earlier events, but has been removed and will be replaced. All systems at the Superdome are now working and the dome will host a major Mardi Gras event Saturday night, said Doug Thornton, an executive with SMG, the company that manages the stadium for the state.
The power failure cut lights to about half of the stadium for 34 minutes, halting play between the Ravens and 49ers.
The FBI had ruled out cyberterrorism as a cause.
Entergy's announcement came shortly before officials appeared before a committee of the City Council, which is the regulatory body for the company, to answer questions about the failure.
Entergy New Orleans CEO Charles Rice and Dennis Dawsey, an Entergy vice president for distribution, told the Council that SMG agrees the cause of the failure was a relay failure. Asked if the two corporations still plan to hire a third-party investigator, Rice said that possibility remains open.
Committee member Jackie Clarkson pressed for such an independent probe. "We've told the public we're going to have an outside investigation," she said.
"We'll work closely with SMG and if there is a need for a third-party investigation, we will do that," Rice said.
It remains unclear whether the problem with the relay was a design flaw or a manufacturing problem. Rice said Entergy is working with the manufacturer.
"I'm pleased that we were able to find the root cause," Thornton said.
Shabab Mehraeen, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Louisiana State University, said the relay device is a common electrical fixture in businesses and massive facilities such as the Superdome.
"They are designed to keep a problem they sense from becoming something bigger, like a fire or catastrophic event," said Mehraeen, who holds a doctorate from the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
The devices vary in size, and while Mehraeen noted he was not familiar with the specifics of the relay at the Superdome, he added, "I wouldn't be surprised if it was bigger than a truck."
Mehraeen said the reasons the devices fail are the subject of much academic research into the interaction of relays with the complex electrical systems they regulate.
"It's not unusual for them to have problems," he said. "They can be unpredictable despite national testing standards recommended by manufacturers."
Entergy and SMG had both upgraded lines and equipment in the months leading up to the Super Bowl. Rice said the new switching gear, with the faulty relay, was installed as part of a $4.2 million upgrade by Entergy, including the installation of a new power line dedicated solely to the stadium.
In a separate project, SMG replaced lines coming into the stadium after managers expressed concerns the Superdome might be vulnerable to a power failure like the one that struck Candlestick Park during a 49ers Monday Night Football game in 2011. That failure was blamed at least partly on a transformer explosion.
Thornton stressed Friday that the dome was drawing only about two-thirds of its power capacity Super Bowl night, and said typical NFL games in late August or September can draw a little more.
City officials had worried that the Super Bowl failure might harm New Orleans' chances of getting another NFL championship game.
But NFL commissioner Roger Goodell downplayed that possibility after the failure, saying the NFL planned to keep New Orleans in its Super Bowl plans. Mayor Mitch Landrieu said the city intends to bid for the Super Bowl in 2018.

This partial hospitalization program treats adolescent boys (age 12-17) who have offending sexual behaviors. The program offers four hours of treatment per day, Monday through Friday, as well as meals and transportation. Treatment lasts approximately four months depending on the progress of the patient.
The treatment is offered to boys whose inappropriate sexual behaviors allow them to continue living in the community, but are severe enough that weekly treatment in individual or group sessions will not be effective. The youth participates in group, individual and expressive therapy as well as psychological education.
Family therapy is a key component in treating this type of problem. Individual family sessions are provided; multi-family group sessions may be requested. A victim prevention plan helps create safer home environments, educates caregivers, and assists schools in supporting these youth while protecting other children. Polygraph assessments help the teens to be honest and accountable for their behavior, while the program lowers their risk of re-offending.
The TIP program has treated more than 200 patients from seven area counties, with a consistently low 2.5 percent sexual recidivism rate, as compared to the national norms of sexual recidivism of 5 to 13 percent for treated youth.
Our stories of success contribute to fewer sexual abuse victims, safer neighborhoods and schools, fewer teens in detention centers, more teens being raised by their families and living in their communities and, ultimately, fewer adult predators in our region.
Consider, for example, a 13-year-old male who entered TIP. He came from a drug-addicted family and an unstable living environment. He struggled with impulsive, sexually-acting-out behaviors with his younger sibling. He received treatment within the TIP program, was placed in a healthy living environment and learned healthy behaviors.
After graduation from TIP, the program tracked his progress. He has now graduated high school with honors and has enrolled in college to study psychology so he can help others. To our knowledge, this teen did not ever reoffend, and he has become a healthy, contributing adult in our community.
If you think you or a loved one may benefit from any of the above programs, please call our help line at 770.836.9551.

As new energy efficiency programs proliferate, regulators increasingly will seek to use the associated demand reductions to reduce capital expenditures on new transmission and distribution assets...
Smart Grid in America and Europe (Part II)
Past accomplishments and future plans.
In the U.S. in 2007, the EISA gave NIST primary responsibility to develop a country wide smart grid framework, protocols, and model standards for interoperability of smart grid devices and systems. 58 The ARRA allocated $10 million to NIST. 59 NIST is working with interest groups and partnering with the DOE GridWise Architectural Council and NIST Domain Expert Working Group, which is composed of more than 100 organizations. NIST work is divided into a three-phase approach: engage the public in identification of standards and specification; establish a formal public and private partnership, called the Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Panel, to drive long-term progress, and create a testing and performance regime. Extensive topics of study include transmission and distribution, demand response, efficiency, wide-area situational awareness, and even business and policy. 60 In January 2010, NIST issued the Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards .61 In September of the same year, NIST announced the release of the initial set of Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security. 62 A month later, in October, FERC created a docket to consider NIST's interoperability standards for potential rulemaking. 63
The NIST assessments of existing standards show how international frameworks already address some of the interoperability and reliability challenges of the smart grid. Although the U.S. has done more evaluation as part of a government directive, the E.U.'s recent mandate for standards formulation shows it is currently working on this issue. The communication networks are connected worldwide and just like international Internet protocols, the standard development projects of both governments are intended to be used as flexible and effective tools to create an interconnected digital smart grid that is also protected from security risks and contingencies.
Cost Recovery, Outreach and Workforce
Regardless of the name for the grid improvements—smart grid, intelligent grid, "Intelligrid" 64 or otherwise—the U.S. and E.U. governments agree there are benefits to be had from grid infrastructure upgrades. It is estimated that an upgraded grid will cost $165 billion over 20 years. 65 The U.S. stimulus has set aside $3.4 billion for smart grid deployment. The E.U. EEGI budgets €1 billion for projects from 2010 to 2012 (money for research and demonstrations, but not deployment), 32 million for fiscal year 2010, and 39 million for fiscal years 2011 to 2014. The benefits of these expenditures are difficult to measure in the short term because of the diverse nature of smart grid improvements and applications, but there is growing consensus that without new investment, the existing grid will not meet the needs of an even more sophisticated digital society. The grid is at least 50 years old in the U.S. and much of the grid in the E.U. was built after World War II. 66 In order to meet our future society's dependency on advanced digital and communication technology, the grid must be more reliable. In fact, the 2003 outage in the East Coast of the U.S. and Canada cost $7 to $10 billion. 67 In total, outages cost at least $100 billion per year on average. 68

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
You can tell your age because your word choice is off. Certainly an eloquent vernacular is preferrable but saying things like "stimuli cells" makes it clear that you do not understand the etimology of the words you use. I like your arguments and don't mean to focus on unnecessary criticisms but it really does rob from the actual quality of your post. And the "I don't use a thesaurus I just have a good vocabulary" is bs because I know they don't teach that **** in 8th/9th grade
very well thought out, and as far as i can tell is legit. although i dont think kakashi ever cut a lighting bolt, yet. but its nickname is more to amp it up and scare people. wouldnt be the first person (good or bad) to lie about how powerful he is to gain an advantage. also sasuke always corrects anyone who calls it raikiri, telling them its name is chidori. maybe sasuke dose this because he dosent care how strong people think it is. after all pretty much for everyone of sasuke's moves, someone knows a better, stronger version. not kirin thou.
3 man team to take on madrara? first off edo or not? and then ems, or rinniegan? without these facts itd be hard to pick.

Hi DrProof,
Would you mind to use more common words in your next thread?
I understand, that you are trying hard to formulate nice and precise, but it would be of better proof of your intelligence if you would use appropriate words.
I gladly would like to enter such a discussion, but for me, and probably a big part of this forums multicultural community, this is beyond easy understanding.
On topic to your post:
I hardly criticize deductive logic on so called "manga facts".
Real world science just does not apply to a fiction manga world.

I understand that there is a division between many people due to the debate between Raikiri's capability to counter or negate Kirin, but the author using the word "subsection" does not describe the division between the debate. We have no division within a division regarding the stance of the people that participate in this debate.
The author used the word "binomial" to describe both Raikiri and Kirin, and I do not see any relationship between the two jutsus that can regard them to be binomial. Within the mathematical context, the written language will only make sense if "binomial" was used for the addition or subtraction of the two jutsus. In example, "The argument that sets apart the Kakashi aficionados from the Sasuke fanatics is the binomial effect of adding (or possibly subtracting) Raikiri and Kirin when these two jutsu clash in their full potential."
Then, the author mentions, "Raikiri canonically stated to have extirpated a lightning bolt." Upon reading further, the author only states that "Maito Gai astonishingly stated Kakashi severed a lightning bolt with said technique." Please... PLEASE... there is a difference between a canon and an account. The word "Canonically" does not apply as it was only an account of Maito Gai and not a widely accepted dogma by all shinobis (nor even for all the fanbase yet). Furthermore, as the author continues "canonically" with the word "stated," then there should be a general rule not an account that proves his statement. The aforementioned sentence started my judgment that this is clearly an annoying writing.
This is not where the slaughter of many of the words' context ends. I mean seriously, did he just say "bystanders"? Bystanders are spectators, watchers or witnesses of an event. We have seen the use of Raikiri and Kirin on separate episodes of battle, but Kishimoto never illustrated a battle between Kakashi and Sasuke in which Raikiri and Kirin are used against each other. None of us can possibly a spectator nor a witness of such event. As a writer, the word "observers" will suffice.
Moving along, the author writes "for said threads construction." I can bet that other readers were thrown off from this phrase. Before this phrase is introduced, there was no aforementioned thread to to begin with, but rather it comes after this phrase. That tense threw me off which then leads me to question his use of the word "construction." But then fortunately for us, that word was used correctly.
At least, the author did come up with a thesis! Woohoo for us, the author learned something from his writing classes: to write the focal argument of his piece. Then, what was that? A colon? Oh my gosh, he actually learned how to use it too! HOWEVER, his thesis becomes confusing. As the author uses the phrase, "invalidly cannot," this double negative makes it harder for everyone to understand the argument. Additionally, as the author writes "insistently deluding canonical evidence," the two words smack-dab in the middle bother me. The word "deludes/deluding" is used meaning to deceive, but the author fails at recognizing the fact that the direct object of this verb must be a person that is deceived not a thing that is misconstrued. Also, refer to the third paragraph above to read about the author's fallacy for the use of the word "canonical."
But wait, there's more! This guy unduly uses a quote from Albert Einstein, in which Mr. Einstein's quote does not provide evidence nor support his argument. What I see now is a moron who demands respect by portraying himself as an authority of knowledge much like Albert Einstein, thus a doctor of proof from his username DrProof.
In conclusion, your evidence and argument is enough. Just make sure to throw out your style of writing in the garbage.
Well good day sir. Ok!
1st of all this is common sense, this thread was not needed to prove the obvious. 2nd I really have hard time believing that Kakashi ever cut a lightning bolt. He is just too slow for that and I know for sure that no one in Naruto is fast as light. So it should be simple that Kirin>Chidori/Raikiri.

^ This.
I have seen your threads before and you are indeed very articulate in the manner which you type, I also like a majority of the ones you create. However, was there really a need to create this thread? I mean honestly, the manner in which you severely overuse "big words" is unnecessary. Was the creation of this thread solely for the sake of letting everyone know "DrProof is back" and therefore the reason why you exaggerate a topic which could easily be simplified into 2 lines? Genuine question.

Drag the home icon in this panel and drop it onto the "house icon" in the tool bar for the browser
Select "Yes" from the popup window and you're done!
Every so often, we see a video that shows us how amazingly fast reaction time can be.
A great deal of police training is based on the scientific study of human performance as it relates to time. Many police trainers — most, it seems — talk in some form or another about "action always beating reaction" time, and 99.99 percent of the time, this philosophy of "gunfight speed" may be right.
Clarendon County Deputy Danny Graham may well represent that remaining 0.01 percent. Deputy Graham had just issued a traffic citation to a motorist when Anthony Pearson approached the scene of the traffic stop, pulled out a butcher knife from concealment beneath an umbrella, and lunged at the LEO.
Deputy Graham quickly drew, moved, and shot the assailant. Following the incident, Sheriff Randy Garrett moved quickly to release the dash-cam video below, saying "It's a justified shoot in my book. He's clear."
Watch the incident unfold, and use the questions below for further discussion.
In light of Deputy Graham's performance, we can ask some questions about what enabled him to do such a great job that day in August.
• What pre-attack indicators did the assailant demonstrate prior to attack?
• What dangers — other than the assailant — are present at this scene?
• What training/drills do you think played into Deputy Graham's success?
• What do you think you might have done differently if put in a similar situation?
• Graham was offered the day off after the shooting, but he declined. Should time off after an OIS be suggested or mandatory?

How to make money online
There are millions of people who use the internet just for fun and research. They have never known that they can. On the other hand there are millions of individuals and businesses that have made a lot of money so far. Wouldn't you desire to make constructive use of your home computer and internet bundles?
We are here to tell you that many internet earning opportunities can be begun at home or office with just a computer that is connected to the internet. Some jobs are idiot-proof and do not require prior experience or special skills.
If you want to know how to make money online, our site, makemoneyonlineguides.com, is the best teacher you have. Do you want to stop guessing and start learning? If so read on to figure out what we are introducing you to.
How to earn money online for free
In the introduction above we have hinted that for some tasks you will only require good internet connectivity and a computer. We believe that even an old computer is enough to get you started.
Another secret we would love to reveal with regard to how to earn money online is that there are free opportunities too. In fact a novice entrepreneur like you should first try to earn money freely on the web.
Slowly you will tread the murky paths leading to high earning opportunities. We really would hate to see you fail at achieving your first goals just because of lacking a good strategy or being too anxious to make a million overnight.
Things do not work this way on the internet. Remember you will be working virtually not face to face with your clients. We want you to make two big decisions on how to earn money online: starting your own business or seeking freelance employment. We have evidence that both can work if implemented thoughtfully. Starting a business may require capital while freelancing may not. The main thing is deciding what's best for you.
Making money online: starting an online business
As we have explained above, starting an online business is a major way to make some real good cash on the internet. But what are the rules? There are no standard rules for everyone to follow. You must run your own race.
Here we can only give you ideas and hope that you will use your entrepreneurial brains and talents. Because you want to work online, a rental office is really not that important. A comfortable home office is just fine.
Second, we believe that building your first ecommerce should be part of the agenda. A website will be necessary whether you want to sell a service, a product or just information.
We can help you choose a top web design company, a web hosting and domain registration company to build and host a professional ecommerce site that will attract and keep customers.
A business website must have a means of accepting money including credit cards or third party payment gateways. It should as well feature an idiot-proof navigation menu bar that showcases the product/service page, site map, about us page, ordering form page, and so on.
We are absolutely committed to helping you build the most appropriate website for your business idea. Besides building a site, we are absolutely sure that it will need to be promoted online in order to attract your target audience.
Therefore we will educate you more about search engine optimization and other internet marketing topics. Besides setting up a website you need starting capital that will let you run smoothly in the first months.
There are some businesses that do not demand more than just a home office to start making money online. For instance, if you intend to outsource tasks to people all over the world, you require very little money.
Blogging does not require money as you can add content to free blogs provided by Google (BlogSpot), for instance. But if you want to own a blog and have full rights to its content, you should pay a web designer to build it for you.
Ways to make money online fast: online jobs from home
Besides starting your online store or virtual outsourcing office, there are other simpler ways to make money online fast. They do not require capital because you will only find and complete jobs.
Some of the top jobs that people can do from home are many. Freelance industry takes the top position for those who have skills such as writing, web designing, logo designing, transcribing, internet marketing, data entry, programming, graphic designing, making videos, web scraping, accounting and personnel management among others.
Affiliate marketing jobs are very common online jobs from home as well. You choose companies that need assistance with marketing their services or products in the areas you are interested in. Then you get paid affiliate commissions for every lead you generate.
There are other jobs such as get paid to click, get paid to complete surveys, get paid to shop, get paid to surf, get paid to play online games and get paid to review products and services and so on.
Online money making: earning money online precaution
If you intend to try out paid online money making opportunities first, our advice for you is to take precautions. There are paid money generating programs that do not work; they are run by scammers.
We would prefer that you take the time to study each paid money making program. Even some free programs do not work. Some sites, like data entry sites, could easily be scams just posing as high paying jobs. Be careful even if you do not have to pay anything in order to start earning money online.
There are get rich quick programs we have seen across the internet that are just hyped. They are usually advertised with exaggerated, attention-grabbing pages.
Then you will be asked to sign up for free only to discover that you cannot earn any money without spending money yourself. As much as earning cash online works, we cannot guarantee real money making machines yet that will make you rich overnight. You still need to think, plan and implement everything you want to do. For assistance, email us or chat with us live.

Not all the stars slipped into a boho uniform a la Kate Bosworth and Rita Ora at Coachella over the weekend, as there was also a red carpet event or two over in tinseltown. Last night was the 2013 MTV Movie Awards and it marked Kim Kardashian's return to the best dressed lists.
Kim K has been struggling a tad with her maternity style, receiving criticism for the leather minis and cleavage flashing. But on the MTV red carpet she went for an effortless Saint Laurent black dress with Dior heels and a gold tassel necklace. Finally some Kardashian bump-spiration.
The main trend on the red carpet was a white crop top + white body con midi as Karlie Kloss and Kylie Jenner both rocked this red carpet look. Chloe Moretz took double denim one step further, wearing a patchwork denim Louis Vuitton creation.
Birthday girl Emma Watson wore a short printed Maxime Simoëns mini avec Proenza Schouler platforms. If you haven't noticed by now Emma Watson's style formula is short + patterned + loud - she often looks like she's straight out of a Peter Pilotto look book.
Kerry Washington made the biggest statement (as per) at the awards in a Michael Kors black sleeved mini dress with a flowing Haliborange coloured train. Zoe Saldana did a leg flash, in a floral Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci dress with a thigh high slit and a sheer black polka dot insert. She's the latest to join 'the fash flash' crew including Diane Kruger, Bella Thorne and Kate Moss who are baring their skin with a cut-out or two.
Grazia's new style crush Bella Thorne wore an elegant Emporio Armani white tux at the MTV Awards, which she toughened up with metallic Armani shoes and a colour snake print Alice + Olivia bag. This weekend Amanda Seyfried also rocked a sleek, androgynous trouser combo, in grey and black Rouland Mouret at a party for Allure Mag.

iPad to lose weight, gain eye
Next year's iPad will have a front facing camera, a higher-resolution screen and lose a bit of weight too, Chinese sources have been telling Reuters. Factories are already ramping up for production of the new iPad, with a view to an early 2011 launch, which would fit Apple's usual schedule of product releases. Reuters reckons …
Higher res?
Higher res screens might be a problem. Not from 'fragmentation' - there's already support in the OS for scalable screen elements, so long as it's the same aspect ratio existing apps would just scale up nicely just like they do on the iphone4.
The problem would be games. The ipad already has a LOT of pixels to push for a mobile GPU. If they went iphone4-style crazy and quadrupled the pixel count, most games would slow to a crawl. Unless there's a new, 4x more powerful gpu, or it's only a doubling of pixel count.
Fragmentation basically isn't an issue here. I'll bet that if Apple do anything then they'll increase the pixel count by an integer multiple, just as on the iPhone. So you don't even get scaling artefacts on software that was hand designed to the pixel on a lower resolution device.
4x? not quite
approx 4X would bring the resolution of the iPad up to the retina level, however, that resolution is one not even seen on 30" displays today. Likely we'll see a screen offering 900 vertical lines, possibly even a 4:3 equivalent capable of showing 1080p video (something close to 1200v lines and 1900-2100 wide).
An updated A4 with 1GB of RAM, a slight CPU bump to 1.4, and perhaps even the slightly next gen Marvel GPU could handle that resolution as equivalent frame-rates to the current screen. This is not a major jump, as the current hardware technically can handle 1080p already, just not while back-grounding too much, and it;s right on the edge of support. a 30 or 40% performance boost, and enough RAM to hold higher res textures, and it;s done.
Doubling the pixel count...
Will bring the resolution up to 2048x*1536. Which is, for all intents and purposes, more than good enough.
It's bad enough that the iPad doesn't support running retina-enabled apps at their native resolution even though the display is more than capable. They should work on that first, since retina-enabled iPhone apps still look somewhat like crap on an iPad.
I fell sorry....
For those who spent a great deal buying the first generation. I remember seeing quite a lot models in CEX shop not long after launch (some people cashed in quickly). I am safe from all this because i don't buy such gadgets:) i will watch from the sidelines and see who the winner is
I feel sorry
For you, never having experienced the joy of first-gen ownership. That sense of childlike wonder, that so much technology can be packed into a space so small and perfectly formed.
Yes, I have an iPad; (although I don't consider it true gen1 as it built on the iPhone R&D investment) - it's a beautiful device, which works exceptionally well within the uses I have for it. I have exactly no regrets about buying early as the way I see it, I'll have had at least a year of pleasure from it while you're still sitting on the sidelines waiting for the 'right' time to jump in.
and not get to play. You have to take a dip some time!
Oh and there will be no winner as such given that the form factor will continue to evolve.
Don't feel sorry. I'm still happy
I bought my iPad in June, and there's still nothing on the market that's significantly cheaper, with the same abilities. Yes I know there's a bunch of Android cheapies from China, for under £200 - but Android isn't a tablet OS yet, and the screens and batteries aren't all that hot anyway. The Toshibas break, and the Samsung is more expensive.
That's actually quite impressive. Any PC/smartphone/console would be expected to have dropped at least 20% in price in that timeframe. Either itself, or the competition. I'm sure Apple's margins have gone up over that timeframe, but the competition still hasn't caught up, so Apple's price can't be that much of a rip-off.
So I've had 6 month's use of my iPad, which weighs half what my old HP tablet did, and has 3 times the battery life. I might start to get an itchy credit card by the time Android 3 comes out, but that'll be nearly a year after I got the iPad.
By the looks of it, that'll only match what I've already got, so I guess my next tablet will be in 2 years. I can live with 2 years lifecycle, from a portable device costing the same as a modern smartphone.
If you didn't buy tech because something better and cheaper will be along in a year, then you'd still be on a Commodore 64 or perhaps Colossus...
What a spectacularly dumb comment
The people who bought the first generation model did so in the full knowledge that it was a first generation product. The vast majority are satisfied with the capabilities of the device (hence the stellar sales numbers) and may or may not decide to upgrade to the next model depending on their personal take on the improvements that are made in the next version. Meanwhile they can get plenty of good use out of this version, and expect a decent price on the used market when they decide to part with it.
So then you'll never buy any product?
This is how Apple works: every year a new version of the product, with a bunch of features not present in the preceding iteration. Most other manufacturers do the same thing, but by supplying the improvements as and when they're available rather than sticking to an annual launch cycle. In any case, any product you buy will be 'less' than the current product a year later by at least one metric that interests you.
You can keep it
Don't feel too bad for him, he still has his money :) whereas you have parted with it. Nobody is envious on this side, we just think it's crap and not worth the money.
Re: You can keep it
Indeed. With all that "childlike wonder" - sheesh! - it's a case of so much shiny, so little time to take it in before the next air-drop.
Unless Steve can pull something new out of his hat, he'll be feeling the heat from the competition across the board well before the next big unveiling.
Don't feel sorry for us
I bought my iPad when they were released and it's been al round the world with us and been used constantly since for a miriad of things by myself, girlfriend, nieces, nephew, mates kids, etc. By the time the new one is released I'll be more than ready to upgrade and probably give my old one to my mother as an elderly friendly web browser/eReader. Either that or sell it and upgrade. I'd be more than happy that I've had my monies worth out of it for the price difference over the best part of a year I'd have had it.
Some times standing on the side lines.....just means you're left standing on the sidelines.
The white iPhone 4, now with new improved model number!
At this rate the white iPhone 4 really will be the iPhone 5!
Seems like Apple have been going for roughly 1 new iPhone model a year so should see the new device around June/July 2011. I would be curious from a scientific standpoint to meet and observe the creature that has purchased the original iPhone, 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4 and is already eagerly imagining being in a queue for the next model...
Eyes, meet screen.
The article was about the iPad, not the iPhone. Still, let's not let anything inconsequential like the subject of an article get in the way of your trolling.
Err... this is an article about the iPad.
Try and stay on topic. Who cares about a white iPhone? Really? Fanboi posers maybe.
(I have a white 3G after all)
there must be some
I did 3G & 3GS and I am waiting for the 5 before I go again. I know a lot of people doing the same.
What are you rambling on about?
Not quite one new model a year
The 2011 model will show us what Apple's plans are with the iPhone. I suspect that we'll get an iPhone 4 S rather than a 5 - and the iPhone 5 will come along in 2012. Given that most contracts are in the order of 18/24 months these days, a 2-year major update cycle would make more sense. The 3G S wasn't enough of an update annoy 3G owners in mid-contract (except the rabid fanbois who couldn't understand why Apple didn't just give it them for free) so it would make sense to do the same again.
We also know that Apple only intend their phones to have a two-year lifespan, since newer versions of iOS only really support the current and immediately preceeding model.
PS You're on your own, by the way - I really do NOT want to meet the person who bought all the previous ones and would queue for the next; that's why I buy online and have it delivered to me. No way am I being applauded for giving a company my money...
So what
Two years is better than one year with the competition.
Buy a Sony Ericsson and in two years the collaboration may have dissolved
Buy a Nokia and you're lucky to get two months of support/updates, never mind two years.
HTC give you about a year tops.
I'd imagine
They'd be very similar to the same bizarre creature which will replace their ipad1 with an ipad2 just because ipad2 is released.
Even when everyone knows there was no reason to ship ipad1 without a camera or a usb or sd card slot other than to put some of those features into ipad2 to milk these strange beings for their cash all over again.
Still it's their cash. If they're happy to be milked for it then by all means milk away.
But only on the first 2.
HTC is making some decent kit nowadays...
Still, iPad is a vanguard of the 'Pad devices.
Any reason why RIM wasn't mentioned?
AFAIK, Sony Erricsson doesn't have a 'Pad device?
Nor does HTC.
Nokia has the Tablet, or at least had it. I have one lying around my cube somewhere (old 770 series.)
Coat, with the oversized iPad pockets (Thanks for being prescient, Columbia)
Not for me...
I've been watching the Playbook with anticipation though. BES integration, I have to carry a phone as well so I might as well use it for my pads 3G, not Apple... ;) I'm curious to see if RIM can take back some of the corporate market that went silly for the iPad.
"Increasing the resolution risks fragmenting the iOS platform"
The iOS SDK has featured resolution independence for quite some time. There are essentially 2 "sizes" to worry about. 3.5" and tablet. The layout of the application needs to account for only those 2 modes, and the application scales in resolution quality outside of that. only people continuing to release apps containing bit-mapped images outside of using the tools available to them in Core Animation and OpenCL have issues with resolution changes, and that's only an image quality issue, not an application scaling issue.
A new screen resolution is a non-issue for the vast majority of apps being currently released.
RE: The white iPhone 4, now with new improved model number!
That'll be Stephen Fry! (Apart from the standing in queues bit, obviously.)
Can't see the horizontal resolution going past 1440, especially if they're making it thinner. More likely it'll be bumped up to 1280 or the 1366 as on the new 11" Macbook Air
I'm waiting for the one with the air-cooled CPU...
Hopefully called the FaniPad.
I'm waiting
For the one with anti-bacterial coating. The saniPad
Right one for me
I never had anything Apple before iPhone 4, previous ones lacked too many functions and seemed slighly short in specs. with iPhone 4 it finally met my expectations...hopefully iPad 2 will be the same, the first one definately looked like Apple were holding back slighly.
Why ....
Does the Reg keep calling this a 'fondle slab'?
Excuse my Kryten-like literal-mindedness, but why should one fondle an iPad more than a laptop or mobile phone? You hold it and tap it, and if this is what Reg writers consider fondling, then perhaps they do indeed lead geeky solitary lives.
Why Does the Reg keep calling this a 'fondle slab'?
For fun of course. And to annoy the fanbois. Even more fun!
Will people stop calling me f%%%%ing stupid for having bought an ipad ?
I bought it knowing exactly what it didnt do and it's FOR ME an awesome piece of kit. it does pretty much what I want ALL THE TIME FOR ME !!!
I dont give a toss if you dont want one, thats fine. I wanted one, I got one and FOR ME its really really good.
I wont be getting an ipad 2 as from what Ive read about its spec cos there's no deal breaker there for me to "upgrade". Ill stay happy with my ipad until it doesnt do what I want. Until then keep your pointless random and ignorant abuse to yourself.
People who buy $Gadget are dumb as I have $OtherGadet and it is clearly superior to the $Gadet. I will continue to verbally abuse those who bought the $Gadget and expouse with gleeful joy the positive points of my $OtherGadget. That being said I, for my purposes, have yet to see a need that is filled by a fondle slab of any incarnation.
There are 4 variables to replace here...
I think you could've used two.
or this version?
fondle slab...
thats the thing with crapple... I too belive that the first fondle-slab had room for features that they were holding back for the second comming....
the crapple cycle appears to be (and the same for all crapple kit) is buy one, skip a generation, time to buy again. They just dont update enough features that its worth buying the new version if you have the last version.
I will never own a crapple product for the simple reason is that they forget who owns the hardware and while setting up the jesus phone 3gs for our daughter, (these days you are a social lepper if you dont have the right smartphone in school) you need a credit card to attach to your itunes account even to download free apps.
buying any first gen product is never a good idea... you pay a premium to beta test the product....
RE: fondle slab...
"thats the thing with crapple... I too belive that the first fondle-slab had room for features that they were holding back for the second comming"
Then yuo are an idiot. Apple were a year earlier than the competition. Perhaps, just perhaps, they didn't have time to add every feature under the sun. Perhaps they even designed it in such a way that is doesn't need every feature under the sun. There's even the possibility that because they were first to market nobody even knew how tablets would be used and so they didn't know which features would be needed on gen 1.
It's all well and good the Android fanbois bashing apple, but Google have never been first to market with any product so they always know which features are required!
Mr R. Eastwood:
You're not f%%%%ing stupid for buying an iPad.
Those who wait for Apple's competition / don't require that class of device:
Yours too is a valid position.
The positive: A lot of time, thought and money has gone into designing iProduce.
The negative: (for users like me) A lot of time and thought has been put into how to make a return on the money spent of design, imposing limits on what the machine can do.
No USB or SD = no thanks.
It does have USB, and doesn't need South Dakota.
Given that the current model
already has an optional USB adaptor and SD reader how do you come to the conclusion that the iPad 2 won't have at least that, and possibly one or both built in?
No USB or SD...
but at least it exists. As for the iPad 'competition': vapourware = no thanks!
Would love a panty pad but the price is ridiculous, so i bought an advent vega from (apologies) pc world - its great and half the price of the ipad..
And i can expand the storage and play flash. Its a great piece of kit if you can get hold of one....and i'm a long time mac user but the ipad is way overpriced.
Hope it's soon
I hope the new iPad comes out soon. My mum is desperate for an iPad and I promised to give her my old one once the new one is out, but I'm not sure how long she can hold out.
Ok, let's try explaining it this way ...
On a five day overseas trip last month, I used email to keep up to date with work, I watched my usual TV programmes, and a movie on the airport bus. I read my normal newspapers and listened to my usual radio stations. I talked once or twice a day with the family on Skype. I read two books and bought one more.
I found where I needed to go with google maps, and checked I was at the right place on streetview. Changing planes on the way home, I played a game of Civ. All the while I kept an eye on our web server, and though I didn't need it, I had ssh set up for emergencies.
And I used nothing but the iPad for all the above. It's small and light enough to just slip into my luggage. A few years back, the kit I needed to do all the above WAS my luggage. The iPad doesn't let you do anything new. It just makes doing it easy, hassle-free - and expensive. It is a very Apple product.
If you need it, it's wonderful. If you don't need it, don't get it.
I was a doubter...but I love the damn thing
I was a doubter and I love all things Apple, but the iPad just didn't cut until I actually started playing with one and to my surprise they are really useful bits of kit and I will more than likely upgrade when the new one comes out next year.
NOW I understand
what those «减肥» messages I get from Chinese sources are all about ! What would I do without the Reg !...
For sure.
Except I can do all that with my £200 netbook. I can also run OpenOffice on my netbook to do all the word-processing and spreadsheet stuff I need for my company. I can install Visual Studio for cutting code. For these I have a full-size fairly-tactile keyboard on which it is possible to touch-type. I can plug in my camera and download photos off it directly, or I can take the SD card out of the camera and plug it into the netbook's card reader. In other words, I can do much more for much less money. The big difference is that my netbook running WinXP is a lot less nice to look at, and it's less friendly to run the various features.
Which is a very Apple difference. The Apple formula has always been to take stuff that's already been invented, put the best user interface and case design on it possible, restrict what you can do with it to ensure the user interface stays sound, and sell it for three times the price of anything else. In other words, it's the difference between a Jaguar and an ultra-tweaked Ford Focus RS. The Ford Focus will whip the pants off the Jag on any kind of measurement - but it's the Jag which is the aspirational purchase. :)
Not in agreement
"The iPad is facing increased competition from Android-based alternatives, but nothing to really frighten Cupertino."
Too bad that wasn't iphone.
And concerning the ipad I would consider a laptop a decent competitor.
Right now i'm running android 2.1 and Windows 7 and not only do they compliment each other great, but they're running apps from each other and i don't need multiple accounts for everything.
That's how it should be, you shouldn't need all apple kit or all Microsoft.
You should be able to have an open web where that's allowed and just choose the brand that you want rather than the one you need to use certain programs/apps.

I'd suffered from scurf problem for years, so I gave it a try. The next morning, miracle happened - NO scurf & itch after dressing my hair, AT ALL! which even hundreds $ salon hair-care products couldn't solve in the past. You can also expect more strength & moderate shine to your hair, and pleasant aroma time. I really do thank to this product and will definitely repeat to buy !!! :-))
Exceptional Product!

My son suffers from very dry, itchy scalp and we've tried everything from head & shoulders to fruictus anti-dandruff shampoos with minimal results. After approximately two weeks of using the Avalon Organics I asked him if I should re-order it and he replied, "YES! It works awesome!" Needless to say we are very satisfied with the product.
contains chemicals...

I was so caught up in reading the great reviews I forgot to check the ingredients, this does contain a great amount of chemicals. I do think it is actually a little drying for my curly hair but my husband loves it. Smell is nice and I'm certain it is much better than any traditional brand. I will be looking for something natural next time. A shame to mix lush organic products with harmful chemicals.

I have suffered from itchy scalp for quite some time now. I have tried every shampoo from anti-dandruff to sensitive scalp but none of them worked. I went to see a specialist and even the shampoo that she prescribed didn't work for me. So, honestly, I wasn't expecting much when I purchased this shampoo. But, I was sooo pleasantly surprised. Starting the first week, I could see improvements and after the 2nd week, the itchiness and flakiness of my scalp decreased tremendously. It is not completely gone but, it has gotten A LOT better. I am not a huge fan of the smell but, if it helps my scalp, I can sacrifice the scent. Thank you Avalon!! Oh, and iherb, of course!
Great for sensitive skin

I am very very happy with this shampoo. It is a mild, non-agressive one with a nice smell; perfect for my sensitive skin. It doesn't leave my hair feeling squeeky clean, but fresh and clean. It's not a shampoo that makes me have to wash more or less often; since I use it I still wash my hair every 6 days. The itch and dandruff I used to have are almost gone now. It is not a good shampoo if you want voluminous hair, cause it leaves my hair a little flat. But overall it has good quality and price. Liked this review, please let me know by clicking yes!
