Chad Halvorson may not have one of the biggest home theater setups, but it is one of the most beautiful.
At only 12 feet wide, Chad had some difficulties fitting everything into the room—most notably, the seating. However, he made it work. In fact, he made it work really well.
"We ended up taking advantage of the 42-foot length to space out seating," he says. "We built a riser for a row of three and then placed two single seats in front of the riser. Finally, in the very front, we placed two Love Sacs for up-close viewing and gaming."
However, having room for seven to sit comfortably isn't the most impressive thing about this basement theater. Just look at it. Gorgeous doesn't begin to describe the design and the detail of the Granada Cinema, which is named after Chad's street.
It didn't happen overnight. Although Chad says the actual job only took five months, that was spread over two years. "I didn't work on the project every day," he explains. "The majority of the project came together in the last four months."
Taking your time has its advantages. For about $25,000, Chad made the Granada look like a million bucks by meshing art deco with high-tech engineering. Aside from the two-tone seating, the room also features a 1080p projector, a 120-inch screen, and a home theater PC, which houses 5 terabytes of media to keep the house entertained. Of course, everything is fully networked, for remote management, as well as a video game or two on the fly.
Sound comes from a complete Onkyo 7.1 speaker package, driven by an Onkyo receiver. A false wall supporting the acoustically transparent screen allows the speakers and subwoofer to be hidden behind the screen.
The back of the room features a custom-built concession stand complete with popcorn maker, refrigerator and candy display case. Lighting runs along the concession stand, riser and stage, to provide a real cinematic touch.
Chad also uses wireless Z-Wave technology to control other lighting aspects, for movies, video games, TV watching, and more. "I wanted a system that I could control with infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF)," Chad explains. "The Harmony remote uses RF, but isn't compatible with lighting systems such as Z-Wave. So I wanted a lighting system that I could control from the Media PC and the IR blaster of the Harmony remote." In the end, he went with the Z-Wave-enabled Vizia RF + family from Leviton.
Yes, the theater took Chad some time to complete, but the result was well worth the wait. The only professional help he cites was for carpet and drywall. "It also helps to have a great girlfriend, friends and a family to help out," he says. "Just once it's finished, you had better treat them to unlimited movies and popcorn!"

On your print screen you see a recount.
I have all the thing as my addons but I dont have recount.. When I download recount and add it then it is just the old recount..
Can you help me?
hey and thnks for the upload on this but i have a few Q's. mainly concerning that the UI keeps giving a .lua error when its freshley istalled, i mean how its already set up when yah put every thing in is perfect for how i like my UI set up. so if yah can fill me in on what to do about it crashing that would be great or point to a .lua editor that is faily simple to use so i can edit the ui up would also be great, and thnks agin for the upload of this wonderful UI set up
On your print screen you see a recount.
I have all the thing as my addons but I dont have recount.. When I download recount and add it then it is just the old recount..
Can you help me?
Is it crashing when you initially log in to your character?
Recount is not included in the latest version.
Error #132, memory error. I do recall on tukui.org that he had a problem with the same error but found a fix. Is that the same thing causing this 132 error or is this V8 after the 132 error?

I'd try and look up what the person on Tuk's website did to fix it, as I'm not having any errors with the package. Are you using some other addons with the pack? If so, tell me what they are and I'll see if I can't at least point you in the right direction.
For me it was a fresh install, the main reason I was going to use it was because I liked grid and I cant live without power auras or dbm. So I had gotten rid of the interface, fonts, and WTF folders and put yours in their place. The only thing I can think of is if there is some special uninstallation thing you have to do with TukUI.
Currently though Ive just added the addons I want myself and I have them already customized to my needs (initially I was having problems seeing these addons, but found out if ya reload the UI enough they will eventually show up).
You actually need to delete (backup, of course) your initial WTF, Fonts, and Cache folders before you install mine. That might have something to do with it, not sure to be honest.
Ok I have a problem also if anyone can help me.
I installed Llego's UI (its great btw) everything runs perfectly, BUT if I try to update them when I log in my WoW crash at startup, and also If I try to add anything else like recount WoW still crashes on startup so Im little confused on how to I fix that
Yeah, there are a few compatibility issues that I'm trying to figure out myself right now but the whole point of this UI is to be lightweight. Also, a good rule of thumb is that if something is broken, especially with a UI package is to not update it, as code changes and things may not work properly together after you update.
Got a question i have been wondering for a long time now. How do you get your grid to be so width ?
Are you using grid or grid 2?
One more thing, any chance to upload your UI to Curse. com, cause i cant download it from TUKUI, cause of some problems with my wow file.

Hello, Llego. I got a question for you.
Is it possible to have actionbar ,3,4 and 5 up permamently, and not only when you write : /abconfig ?
If yes, i'd like to know how.
Thanks in advanced.
Alonia, you need to edit the lua files for that. Open up the file tukui.config.lua in the tukui folder (interface\addons\tukui) and find the lines:
-- number of bars you want to show on the right side?
rightbarnumber = 0 -- (original layout = 0, 1, 2 or 3, second layout with 4 bars at the bottom = 0 or 1)
Change rightbarnumber = 0 to rightbarnumber = 3 and then save the file. That's it, you don't even have to exit the game to change it, just type /rl in game after you saved it.
Might want to make a backup of the file before changing it tho, just to be safe.
And to whoever asked how to move the unitframes, just type /uf in game and move 'em
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
Great UI !
What's the name of the unit frame? :>
I've been using this UI for a while now, mostly for raiding, with my own adaptions ofc like you did, however something is bugging me. When you join a raid the 2 texts will show up at top of the screen "food" and "flask". I checked the lua files but since you actually deleted many of the original lines, its hard to find out where to edit it. So could you tell me how you changed that, atleast in which file to look.
Found the action bars.
Okay more questions: The Brezz timers only pop up when someone uses it, I guess. Does that happen in DPS mode, too?
How do I get rid of that "FLASK" message? I have one in, but it doesn't go away. Just stating which addon/lua it is in would be enough I guess.
Last edited by Darktan; 04-06-2010 at 12:36 PM.
I asked the same about flasks a while ago, but seems auther abandonned his UI thread, still didnt find out which lua file contains it and at tukui they cant either.
I'll try to figure it out. Will let you know for sure.
Oh also, is there a way to get the disenchant roll option? I seem only to get Need and Greed.

Time has already run out for smart watches
It's been a big year for smart watches. First, rumours that Apple glanced at its wrist and imagined what an iWatch might look like hit the web. This week at CES Toshiba showed off a smart watch, as did a clutch of aspiring watchmakers like Cookoo, Martian and I'm Watch. Then the long-awaited Pebble watch with ePaper for a face …
Ye gods, if ever I saw a doomed industry comment...
> Sophistication is something "clunky smartwatches simply do not convey," she said, adding that aside
> from Japan's Casio "there is hardly interest on part of watchmakers to dabble in this area."
Doesn't that read to you like the sort of thing that's come from thousands of executives in the past who seem to believe that their current business strategy will last for ever?
Don't get me wrong, I doubt the time has come yet, but the time will certainly come where everyone has their personal communications on their wrist, not in their pocket. You only have to look at the history of, well, clocks and watches. When it can be done it will be done. Vastly reduced power consumption and some kind of radically easier power charging regime will be the key technologies...
Watches are already on the decline
seen as an extension of the user's personality
this is funny - the majority of the people i know stopped wearing watches over the past 10 years or so. these days, with a decent phone in your pocket, there's no need.
In fact, the only reason i wear a watch now is because it's a 6gen iPod Nano and i listen to podcasts on it.
Yes, the big expensive shiny shiny watches are seen more as jewellery and a reflection of the wearer, but I can see smart watches unlocking the market of people who stopped wearing watches because they've no need of a time telling device when their phone will do that, and instead people who want a lightweight, convenient interface to the phone in their pocket, of which time telling is just a minor, mostly unused function... in the same way that the phone function of a smart phone is likely it's least used feature.
Re: Watches are already on the decline
Exactly what i am waiting for, at the correct price and reliability, havent seen one that fits my bill yet but i am looking and WILL by one.
Re: Watches are already on the decline
Jai: "this is funny - the majority of the people i know stopped wearing watches over the past 10 years or so. these days, with a decent phone in your pocket, there's no need."
I see this line a lot but I can't help feeling that there's probably a reason why fob/pocket watches (lovely as they are, and I've got three...) were replaced by wristwatches for everyday purposes...
Incidentally today I'm sporting a discrete, tasteful self-winding Omega which was built in 1967 - it cost me ~£40 from eBay as a non-runner, ~£60 for a clean and service by a local watchmaker (good quality mechanical watches are surprisingly difficult to kill), it's not ostentatious enough to make me look like I'm trying to make some kind of point with it, I'll never find myself sitting next to someone with an identical model, it gets nods of appreciation from watch geeks, and given modest care and a simple basic (clean and lubrication) service every few years it'll be running just as well and looking just as good long, long after I'm dead. Not sure you'll be saying the same about modern mass market electronic watches (smart or otherwise) - if nothing else replacement battery availability is likely to leave a lot of them as display only items...
Re: Watches are already on the decline
>I see this line a lot but I can't help feeling that there's probably a reason why fob/pocket watches (lovely as they >are, and I've got three...) were replaced by wristwatches for everyday purposes...
Well said. Yoinking a phone out of your pocket just to tell the time is awkward.
My watch is 1969 Omega Chronostop, their attempt at a budget range at the time. My dad bought it off a bloke in a pub, so it's a family heirloom.
V.A.T.S. Optional
I want my Pip-Boy 3000 now!
Watches are a Status Symbol?
No, for most people, a watch is a way to easily tell the time. They are a status symbol of you are a douche bag who is compensating for a certain something being below average in size (do you drive an Audi TT as well by any chance?). But in that case you won't buy one of these until everyone's got one anyway.
No, this is a geek toy and will be for some time. So fix the battery issue then maybe it'll take off. It'd be kinda handy to be able to see text/IM/email and appointments without having to get the phone out.
Re: Watches are a Status Symbol?
Your post oozes jealousy. People who ascribe physical traits to others who drive nice cars obviously have some issues of their own.
Re: Watches are a Status Symbol?
No it's a well known fact that men who drive overly flashy or large cars usually have tiny genitalia*. Me, well I drive a Matiz... ;)
(*Whether or not it's true this is genuinely what the rest of us think about you, as you parade around in your large penis-cars. In truth I drive a tiny car because I'm poor... it's purely coincidental that I have a huge willy)
Re: Watches are a Status Symbol?
I drive a larg(ish) car because I drive on country lanes and have seen what "small car vs large tractor" looks like, as well as experiencing "small car vs deer jumping out of a hedge".
My car would still lose, but I might be alive when they cut me out of it and these days the deer bounce off the sides, rather than squash the car (deer have got to be the second stupidest animals on rural roads, after pheasants. Why is running towards something dangerous a survival trait?)
@ Alan Brown
Here in Australia we don't have deer, at least not in the wild. What we have instead are kangaroos and wombats. Kangaroos are about the same mass as deer (at least the big grey plains ones are) but, unlike deer, they tend to stand upright, like people. Which means that when you hit them at speed, they are much more likely to bounce over the bonnet and smash through your windscreen than simply mangling your radiator and front end, with obviously deadly consequences.
And wombats are just evil. About the size of a stocky fox terrier, they look deceptively small and vulnerable, but they have the structural solidity of a large house brick. If you hit one, it will rip out your sump, gearbox, tailshaft and/or diff, and walk away without a scratch, leaving you with a written-off car and a very long walk home!
niche market?
"He therefore predicts only niche sales for smart watches, comparing them to e-readers as a product category that might make sense to a small market for a short time"
Is he on about the kindle style of e-reader market? Because that was hardly a small market! The reason it might have fizzled out a bit is because everyone's already got one!
Re: niche market?
I'm planning on buying a Kindle Paperwhite although I already have an iPad.
Maybe I'm a part of a not-so-average group of people, but to many of my friends/acquaintances e-readers make a lot of sense.
Pebble at last
At long last I have a date for the start of shipping for my long awaited Pebble.
It has been a fascinating journey following the design and manufacturing process through in the mean time however.
I think they have it as right as can be for now. Rather than try and emulate phone functionality on a colour screen that lasts a day tops if used with the phone it is designed as a watch with interaction features. One that you can swim lengths with as well.
All the current smart watches I have seen tend to be clunky both in operation and design.
Now they were able to manuafacture a round oled colour screen with a high enough resolution then the smart watch could be designed to look just like a traditional watch and the screen could emulate a watch face of any design when not being used for it's smart capabilities (e.g. reading sms, emails, calendar appointments, etc).
Sort out the battery life and make a ring of solar cells around the bezel (blend it into the design) for charging on the go. Make it waterproof for use in all weathers or in sports such as swimming. Make it eather touch screen or have buttons that also blend into the desn.
Do all this and maybe, just maybe, you would be onto a winner. For this to happen companies from both technology and watch design/manufacture would have to come togther.
I see smart watches as being a logical step in technology to make both communication and data even more accessible in all situations.
Why bother emulating real hands? Plenty of existing watches place LCD elements over real, analogue hands. At CES this year was a company touting electronic windows blinds, so a switchable opaque layer can be used, too. The display does NOT need to be in colour.
Having an opaque lcd layer over a real watch could cause the watch to become more bulky. The watch would have to have the read watch gubbins and mechanisms along with the smart watch electronics and a suitable battery to power the whole thing for a resonable period of time.
Simpler to just have a smart watch that can emulate a real watch therefore saving the space used by the real watch mechanisms allowing the design of the watch to be no bigger or bulkier than current watches but still have all the functionality of a smart watch.
Some confusion here
I think a lot of the comments here are confusing "geek cool" with "fashion cool". Yeah, there's some overlap, as we saw with the iPhone in it's earlier incarnations, but on the whole they are very different things.
Now, personally, I would view a detailed 1:72 scale model of Serenity as pretty darn cool. However, 95% of the population would strongly disagree. It should come as no surprise that the 5% are disproportionately represented here.
"Euromonitor's head of consumer electronics, Loo Wee Teck, feels the smart watch market just won't happen."
It's not April already so is there really someone called low tech who doesn't see a future for these?
Or perhaps we can discount his comments because Loo Wee Teck is a toilet design technician :-)
Loo Wee is a pretty funny name... ;)
You should meet his brother Loo Poo Teck - he was the second child
Only Apple can decide if tehy want to deliver the required info
Imho, the analysis is nonsense, though the conclusion appears correct. What people really want and need is a copy of their iPhone's "notification system" on a watch, that presents the information in an abridged, legible form. None of the watches presently offered or announced have this.
Why? Because the notification information is simply not output by the iPhone. Only some info, like SMS and caller ID, are transmitted via Bluetooth, in order to interact with hands free systems.
And the only company who could change that is Apple. Hence, it is Apple's responsibility to develop an appropriate watch or movement with the needed functions.
Only by this approach, all new apps that deliver information via the notification system could automatically be integrated into the watch's functionality.
By providing a movement instead of a complete watch, watchmakers would be enabled to integrate such movements into complete watches, from the cheap 300 Dollar Timex variant, to the 5000 Dollar Panerai variant; including individualized clock faces in the individual watchmakers' layouts.
Re: Only Apple can decide if tehy want to deliver the required info
Well, with the Pebble there is an API. You can tell it to get anything that the phone side application has permission to access. It can tie in with applications and it is the watch's phone side software which does the transmission via bluetooth.
Don't forget that these things aren't just for iPhones they are for smartphones in general. There is no way Apple can decide what information can be retrieved from and Android phone.
If apple refuse to let applictions have access to the information that would make these watches useful it is their loss. I am assuming it is possible though.
"Functionality-aside, a watch also epitomizes prestige and is seen as an extension of the user's personality and lifestyle/fashion sophistication"
What that sort of watch is, is a way to tell that you're dealing with a dickhead.
Re: Actually...
Think he's been reading (or worse) the Rolex catalogue a few too many times - 27 jewel movement, waterproof to 300m (despite the fact it's never likely to go more than 3m) and an expression of your individuality... ahhh that's better.
No-one wants smart watches?
The article wrote: "But that begs a question about just why anyone is targeting a market with products it seems no-one wants?"
No-one wants? If that's the case, why did the Pebble Bluetooth Smart Watch kickstarter gain more than 70,000 pledges and more than $10,000,000 in funding?
Personally, I'm not interested in them - but to say that no-one wants them is clearly untrue.
Re: No-one wants smart watches?
"No-one wants? If that's the case, why did the Pebble Bluetooth Smart Watch kickstarter gain more than 70,000 pledges and more than $10,000,000 in funding?"
Errr, because the kickstarter types don't know anything? I'd like to see them prise ten million smackers out of a red blooded private equity investor for this tat.
Re: No-one wants smart watches?
One of the things which the development of capitalism did was make risk taking affordable. Those kickstarters are taking a risk they think they can afford, with the chance of getting a good return.
Who can afford to lose ten million? That's averaging less than $150 per pledge, which is currently around £100, and that's a bet a lot of people can afford to lose.
Kickstarter is doing what the stockmarkets originally did, and is maybe a bit too much like the days of the South Sea Bubble, but I've heard a good many claims that Wall Street and The City aren't willing to take risks, Kickstarter is at the other end of the scale, and the venture capitalists somewhere in the middle.
It could turn into an element of a varied investment portfolio. Some money going into reliable investments some going into high-risk funds, some into Kickstarter. It might be more fun taking your own decisions too. Just don't risk what you can't afford to lose.
Re: No-one wants smart watches?
"One of the things which the development of capitalism did was make risk taking affordable"
As preceding AC, I take your point, and it is a very, very good one. No real, new companies can now afford to go to the stock markets to raise equity. It's only when you've either got plenty of money (or users, in the case of Farcebook) that you go to the capital markets, and that's why the stock markets are just secondary markets - people swapping in and out of established investments, which is OK, but doing little to finance new ideas or new businesses.
I hope that Kicktarter and its ilk become more and more significant, to counterbalance the weight of City/Wall St corporations, but realistically, crappy asleep-when-you-really-need-them regulators like the FSA and SEC will be busily eyeing up these schemes, and looking for a way to bureaucratise them to death.
But saying that, it doesn't make the kickstarter pledgers any good at spotting a good idea.
Re: No-one wants smart watches?
>But saying that, it doesn't make the kickstarter pledgers any good at spotting a good idea.
And when they floated the WWF, many of the Wall Street types thought the wrestling was real... : D
Re: No-one wants smart watches?
>>Errr, because the kickstarter types don't know anything? I'd like to see them prise ten million smackers out of a >>red blooded private equity investor for this tat.
But a load of people have ALREADY PAID FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY WANTED THEM! It doesn't matter if "kickstarter types don't know anything". They still wanted the watch, didn't they? Which clearly means that it is not true that no-one wants them. Surely this is trivially obvious?
Some of us like watches...
...because of the huge variety in how they look (the jewellery factor I suppose) AND in the technology they use. I have a 70s style LED, 80s style LCD, kinetic analogue and automatic analogue. I'm interested in other technologies and smart watches are just another thing to consider adding to my little collection. But I realise it's a minority interest and so they won't become mainstream without much better battery life and probably better thought out interfaces/functionality.
I stopped wearing a watch in the 1990s when I got a car. A watch is slightly more important when you're a slave to pubic (oops, missed the L) transport schedules.
Now a watch with a decent set of location based services would be useful. It could tell you where the nearest bus home is, the train station is, maybe call for a cab.
But apart from that, I can't really see much use for one. Too small for almost all modern smartphone features.
Also, useful for those who are confused or forgetful. People with early stages of dementia or other memory issues. It could help them get home.
Everyone said the iPad would fail
but it had an Apple logo on it, so it sold like hot cakes. Normal laws do not apply.
I wear a watch. I've worn the same watch since I was a kid. It's a Casio W-59. In fact, I've never worn any other sort of watch, except other Casios that look identical but that have different backlights (and they do a model that does the MSF radio-clock time-setting, I believe). Every single example of that watch I've worn has lasted 3-4 years and then the strap breaks and I buy another. I have a drawer full of the mechanisms with no straps on them that are STILL WORKING 10+ years later with no battery change (and changing the battery probably costs as much as a replacement even if it does ever happen). It shows me hour, minute, second, day-of-week, and date-of-month at a glance and has a little light so I can see it in the dark. When I was younger, I could read books in bed in complete darkness by the tiny light it gave out. I can set an alarm if I've nothing else on me capable of doing so. It's waterproof and pretty damn solid (even the strap, which takes YEARS to give out) so I've never managed to do any damage to or lose one from my arm even when swimming and forgetting it's there.
And how much do I use it? Barely ever. In fact, I put it on every day and probably spend more time over my life putting it on and taking it off than I ever do looking at it, but I miss the weight of it if it's not there.
Actually, I probably spend longer adjusting my watch once-every-six-months or so to make sure it's on "my time" than I do looking at it. Why do I carry it? Sheer habit. When I was younger I used it all the time for school. When I go to job interviews, I like to have it there to make sure I'm on time. Every other time, I don't use it and have actually pulled out a smartphone before I've realised that I'm wearing it (and, bear in mind, I've worn one every day for the past 15-20 years). I have a bad memory and so have a morning routine which involves the watch and, also, a pat-and-count of my body to make sure I have taken everything (without which, I would end up driving miles to the shops and not have my wallet on me when I get there, quite easily).
Watches are inconvenient. If you wear long-sleeves, you have to pull them up to look at the screen. You have to sacrifice the usefulness of both hands to check the time, in that case. You have to put them on and take them off and be used to them being there (I have caught mine several times on things when working around the house and given how long I've worn them, that's quite telling).
I work in front of a machine that displays the time, in an office with a clock, on an office phone that shows the time, with timed bells (I work in a school). At home, I have a machine that displays the time, a clock that displays the time, a TV that displays the time and various ways of discovering the time otherwise (including a drawer full of watch-faces!). In the car I have a radio that displays the time and a clock that displays the time. Walking around I have a watch that displays the time and a phone that displays the time (even when locked). I don't go anywhere without both.
It doesn't mean I'm never late, or that I always know what the time is, but the time is everywhere. So my watch could easily do more and I would be right alongside that idea because I carry my watch and extraneous gubbins around with me all the time out of habit. But a watch that "does something" has been around since I was a kid - everything from calculators to measuring tapes to hidden pens to radios to TVs to - now - "smartwatches". I don't believe that people use them practically because they aren't in a convenient position for a) looking at anything without sacrificing at least one arm's position while you do it, b) hearing anything it does without it disturbing others, c) it hearing you speak, d) the size of the interface available on the watch, e) pressing buttons (which you have to do with your other hand rather than the "same-thumb" technique for holding a smartphone), f) being unable to comfortably use it once you've removed it (so that limits its ability and value if, like me, you take your watch off when your indoors).
The watch is just not a convenient interface for anything, even hands-free. Nor are bluetooth headsets, I'd like to point out, but a watch even less so (not even close enough for audio in a noisy environment, for instance). Of all the space-age tech we saw in sci-fi and Bond movies over the last 5 decades, the gadget-watch has been around the longest and enjoyed the least success. I'm not surprised watch companies won't touch gadgets with a bargepole.
Hell, I even laugh at the star-trek badge that has to be tapped to talk. I find that hilarious, given how much of a pain that must be to keep pressing (and I bet it wears a nice little hole in your nipple after a few years of busy pressing), and that's halfway between a headset and a watch for communication purposes.
Honestly, watches are fashion items and items of habit. Nobody's needed one since mobile phones, same as address books, calendars, and calculators. Making it "smart" won't make it an overnight shock success (though, obviously, you'll always sell SOME of them). In fact, all it will do is make smartwatches things we can all laugh at.
Puzzled and saddened.
Right now, I'm being driven in my Bentley from my Fitzrovia hedge fund townhouse office to my country estate. The markets are just where I need them to be, shorting HP continues to pay handsomely, I've glanced at my IWC (the white gold Port Perpetual today, since you ask) and I'm just reading this thread on my new iPad 4.
I can't understand the bile and envy I see in these posts, I really can't. It's this sort of attitude that makes me realise how wise I am not to pay any tax here.
Re: Puzzled and saddened.
Have you got a cousin who owns a big ranch or two in the 'states?
Size matters
The size of a watch is just a bit small to carry the required battery and screen. I'd rather call the future device an 'electronic cuff', kind of an ultra-wide cuff of the jacket carrying the flexible interactive screen.
Better still would be a holographic display, beamed by laser directly into the retina.
Sony SmartWatch is fab
I have a Sony Smartwatch connected to my Galaxy S 3.
It works brilliantly. A discreet vibration on my wrist and I can see who's calling me, and accept or reject the call, I can read my texts, I can read the first few sentences of my Gmails, and i can view my missed calls - all without touching my phone in my pocket. There are loads of other apps available for it too, you can go mad. It tells the time too...
I honestly don't know why it isn't more popular, and more people aren't talking about it.
I am a little bit of a clock nut- inherited from my grandfather who calibrated Rolexes for amusement. My ordinary watch is a cheap mechanical Seiko. No battery, and graceful degradation unlike battery watches and phones, which are either right or stopped.
For time telling when out in the country, the mechanical watch still has the highest confidence factor.
Revenue estimates
"the global watch market is worth $US56bn"
Though $US55.9bn of that will be made selling useless insultancy reports to gullible watch manufacturers.
I want a watch to tell the time, nothing more, so my trusty mechanical, as in wind up Aviator Chrono will do nicely. besides it doesn't need charging it winds it self as it is worn.....

Would've rated it higher because in the pain-cessation category it works really well. However, I get stabbing digestive pains from it and nausea. I am trying a reduced dose and so far, not more than a twinge once in a while. Love the packaging.

This product works! And it works the same day--no need to wait weeks for the blood levels to increase. It is the best mood balancer out there. And now the vet has given it to my dogs to heal their liver problems.

I tried St. John's Wort for about five weeks to no avail. I've had no stomach upset or anxiety or any other negative side effects. What I can tell you this this stuff works fast to alleviate depression. Five days ago I was ready to call my doctor to ask for an rx. Today, I am impatiently awaiting my shipment of Source Naturals SAMe and disappointed that I have to pay retail in order to keep up my daily dosing. (Sorry Whole Foods--I love your store, but you are way overcharging for supplements.) I am also very much looking forward to getting my dose up to the 1600 mgs for depression. I envision feeling normal again! I trust the Source Naturals brand, and I love iherb for its value and good customer service. Fantastic stuff.

I have had a good experience from Source Naturals SAMe overall. I use for anxiety, and I can really tell when I miss a dose. I also read that after you've taken it for a while, it can build up in your system so that you don't have to take as high of a dose. (and they recommend taking vitamin b complex with; helps you to absorb and prevent homocysteine levels from getting too high) And I've noticed better results from the Source Naturals brand than whatever brand I picked up at my local WM when I first decided to try SAMe. The only problem I've had was in one package I guess there was a hole in a few of the blister packs (I didn't see any hole though) because about three or four of the pills were all melted looking when I opened their blister compartment. I've bought at least 4 or 5 packages and this only happened in one.

PALMER PARK, Md. - Prince George's County Police say a homicide detective followed cries for help and stopped a man beating another with a shovel.
Officers say Detective Mike Ebaugh, an eight-year veteran, was leaving a police station in Palmer Park Saturday night when he heard a cry for help. Police say Ebaugh got into his car, rolled down all the windows, and followed the sound.
Authorities say Ebaugh heard the sound of metal hitting something, and saw a man strike another man in the head with a shovel.
Police say Ebaugh drew his handgun and ordered the man to stop. The man surrendered.
The victim was taken to a hospital. Forty-eight-year-old David Hamilton of Palmer Park has been charged with assault.

Y'all been hearing rumors about some new gal in town, Lurlene. And you are wondering who is this gal?
Lurlene is a 1963 Airstream trailer. She has seen better days, as she was abandoned in an Adirondack field for years. Poor baby. Even Chucho was sad for her. So we took her home and are loving her up.
Here she is after a deluxe spa exfoliation treatment.
Lurlene is getting a makeover: facelift, new guts, the works.
When she comes out of surgery, she will be a traveling yarn shop, visiting underserved populations across the northeast.

Time-of-use (TOU) pricing might seem like the ultimate solution to ensure electric vehicle charging loads won't overburden the grid. But will TOU rates guide drivers' behavior when it's time to...
Tipping Point
Industry giants start the EV revolution.
Nissan has no similar plans for the United States.
Ford also has no current product plans for vehicles with swappable batteries. McDermott takes the domestic stiff arm in stride.
"Remember, this is a reset for many in the industry," he says, referring to the first, aborted attempt to build electric vehicles, often referred to as EV 1.0.
"Resistance comes from a variety of things, as basic as DNA—they're slow to move and slow to change—all the way to very calculated commercial interests," he says. "Certain companies will publicly tell you battery swaps and EVs have no future at all whatsoever, but privately, behind the scenes, they are furiously trying to catch up. In the meantime they're trying to extract the maximum value from platforms they've already invested in, such as fuel cell, hydrogen and hybrids. They're trying to milk those investments while they catch up, but EVs crossed the watershed about a year ago."
Getting Customers to Care
In the United States, the battery-swap issue is precisely the type of question that will have to be worked out in the market. If a viable third-party ownership model ends up working for batteries, that solution could lead to V2G technology.
"Vehicle-to-grid frankly is farther down the road," says SCE's Craver. "We see the promise of it, but not enough work has been done to understand the impact all the charging and decharging has on the life of the battery, the most expensive component of the vehicle."
If someone else owns that expensive component, however, and if they can resolve technical concerns about V2G applications, then EVs rapidly would become more functional and valuable ( see " Dealing with Disruption–Electric Vehicles "). Effective inter-industry collaboration on standards in North American has created an EV market where meaningful competition on products and services is possible. Likewise, the utility industry's growing need to engage customers in their electricity-buying habits might convince companies to invest more in EV-related infrastructure and marketing than they otherwise might.
"It will be interesting to see what dynamic will play out, because the vehicle is the most intimate appliance, the one customers care about the most," says Duke's Rowand. "It's kind of hard to get customers engaged because they just don't care that much about a refrigerator. But they care about their car. Ask anybody, they know what they paid when they filled up at the gas station last week."
To the degree EVs help consumers connect the dots between their energy use patterns and the real-time cost of electricity, it could extend to the way they think about their entire energy profile and serve as a catalyst for utilities to deliver a new range of services.
"Will that awareness translate into the rest of the home?" Rowand says. "We definitely have an opportunity, especially in the early going. As people have a lot of interest and look for more information about vehicle performance, we'll be looking at how we incorporate that into our customer communications, our energy efficiency programs, and our overall smart-grid communications with our customers."
Automakers will keep

There are plans within TNA right now to have Rockstar Spud and Ethan Carter working as a tag team. People backstage feel that the two of them work very well together and have a better chance of connecting with the audience if they were to work as a unit.
It appears that the story line and character development for Brutus Magnus is working, as fans have been booing him during the European tour. Many backstage were expecting him to receive cheers like Rockstar Spud has been receiving, but they're pleasantly surprised by the crowd reaction.
There will be a Lethal Lockdown match at TNA Lockdown 2014 this year. Team Dixie will consists of Ethan Carter, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Rockstar Spud. They will face Team MVP, which will include MVP, Gunner, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.
Many are wondering who will be the first opponent for MVP in TNA will be, and it looks like Rockstar Spud has been given that honor. Earlier today, the two of them filmed a match for the episode of Impact Wrestling set to air on February 13.
British star Rockstar Spud managed to gain some attention during his segment on Impact Wrestling with Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards from Scotland tonight, as the relatively new TNA star became a trend on Twitter. Fans also made the show itself a trend as well.
"I really am living the dream and returning to the UK, whatever the reaction, really tops its off. It has been a whirlwind year or so really but I can't think of a better way to top it off than with this tour and getting to wrestle for TNA in front of my hometown crowd. It might be a cliché but it really is a dream come true, I have wanted to be a wrestler for so long and now being able to do it, is just amazing."
- Rockstar Spud talks about being on Impact Wrestling in England
TNA officials are said to be extremely pleased with how well Rockstar Spud and Ethan Carter have been performing as of late. The goal was to bring in fresh new faces, and the two of them have been making management look good in that choice.
On a special Final Resolution edition of Impact Wrestling last night, Brutus Magnus defeated Jeff Hardy in a tournament final and became the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He climbed the ladder and retrieved the belt after Rockstar Spud interfered.
Many have been praising Rockstar Spud for his work in TNA, as many feel that he is really getting into his character. The European star recently made his Impact Wrestling debut as the executive assistant for Dixie Carter.

Balance, meh; stack stam and pop in a Nightmare Tear (or a purple) to activate you meta.
Yes tis me, Necroshen the DW Frost Tank,
I have been looking at my character once again and I feel like my gemming balance is all wrong. I seem to have 191 expertise and 160 hit rating (translates as 4.88% I believe).
Someone also commented to me in game about it. I have too much expertise.
I am looking for some advice on what I can do, Is 160 good or bad for hit rating and do I need to stack more.
How much Expertise could I afford to lose if any?! I know I get hit rating (Nerves of Cold Steel) from my build but I am in desperate need of some guidence to ensure im optimal. I struggle with this kind of number crunching Im afraid
Note: I forgot to add my armory. EEEK Sorry people.

Balance, meh; stack stam and pop in a Nightmare Tear (or a purple) to activate you meta.
Link armory, so we see how your expertise is spread out.
If your character sheet says over 51 expertise SKILL, then it is too much. If you are gemming or enchanting for expertise past 26 expertise SKILL, stop doing that.
90% of users have their character link in their profile.
The cap for expertise is 56, not 51. He is at 27 and is fine. You have plenty of hit as well, so don't bother gemming it. If you do have threat problems, post your rotation and your friendly neighborhood DK can help you fix it.
You DO need to fix your gems though, get all 30 stam except for the 2 gems in your helm. Also enchant cloak with 225 armor and hands with 240 armor (hit: 2% threat enchant is garbage). May also want to respec blood, unless all you do is aoe tank trash and no bosses.
May want to change your shoulder enchant to the PvP one too and you may want to put Fallen Crusader (or the one hand equivalent) on one of your axes, you have 589 defense.
Just for some numbers, I never actually got around to playing DW on my tank but I believe the numbers I researched was 9% hit rating and 32 expertise, as the optimal to reach soft caps. Don't ask me for details, I've forgotten and anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. Ofc, you don't have to get these if you don't have threat issues. Just the numbers I've stored on my cheatsheet.
8% hit for specials while dual weilding and 26 expertise is the dodge cap (aka soft cap). more expertise is always good but as far as hit not really needed.
|Ex Tank|
The tried and true numbers for caps are 8% for specials (this does not include white attacks for DW, but does for single weapon and 2h), and 26 expertise skill. This is how it's been since November 2008 when this expansion came out. The hit cap for DW white attacks is around 24%. 26 expertise removes all dodges from the table for a level 83 mob, 56 skill would do the same for parry. I don't know how you arrived at your numbers other than going from below caps right to 9% and 32 skill and just leaving it at that.
The mmo post is ofc long buried, but here is a quote from wowwiki:
Note that the +19% miss chance for dual-wielding only applies to ordinary auto-attack melee attacks. It does not apply to any special attack powers that cost rage, energy, or mana -- neither instant attacks such as Sinister Strike or Stormstrike, nor on next swing attacks such as Heroic Strike, incur the dual wield miss penalty. So, with 9% +hit from gear/talents a dual-wielder will never miss with an instant attack
Calculating miss rate
If the difference between the mob's Defense Skill and your Weapon Skill (see types of combat skills) is less than or equal to 10, then the formula for calculating your base miss rate against that mob is:
with two-hander: 5% + (Defense Skill - Weapon Skill) * 0.1%
with dual-wielding: 24% + (Defense Skill - Weapon Skill) * 0.1%
If the difference between the mob's Defense Skill and your Weapon Skill is greater than 10, then the formula for calculating your base miss rate against that mob is:
with two-hander: 6% + (Defense Skill - Weapon Skill - 10) * 0.4%
with dual-wielding: 25% + (Defense Skill - Weapon Skill - 10) * 0.4%
Applying these formulas gives the following base miss rate for a Level 80 character with a 400 Weapon Skill:
v. Level 80 mob: 5.0% / dual-wield: 24%
v. Level 81 mob: 5.5% / dual-wield: 24.5%
v. Level 82 mob: 6.0% / dual-wield: 25% (level of most heroic bosses)
v. Level 83 mob: 8.0% / dual-wield: 27% (level of raid bosses)
32.79 hit rating reduces your chance to miss by 1%
Thus, if you are a Level 80 character with a Weapon Skill of 400 and no talents increasing your chance to hit, you need a Hit Rating of 263 (8.02%) to never miss a shot against a Level 83 boss (or skull mob) with a special attack or single-wield auto-attack (see hit rating cap below). What this means is that there is a big +hit benefit to keeping your Weapon Skill within 10 levels of the mobs you are trying to fight. For example, by improving your Weapon Skill from 390 to 395, you effectively reduce your chance to miss against Level 81 mobs by 2.6%. However, after getting to 395, increasing your Weapon Skill the next 5 levels, to 400, only reduces your chance to miss by an additional 0.2% (or 2.8% in total). Also, note that there is a huge jump in miss rate reduction by going from 394 to 395 Weapon Skill. This is the point where you switch from one formula to the other, and so this particular single point of Weapon Skill is worth a dramatic +1% hit against a Level 81 mob/boss.
Melee attacks divide into two categories: auto-attacks (white attack/damage) and special attacks (yellow attack/damage). Attacking a mob from behind removes parry and block from both tables, provided the attack is more than 0.5 yards away.
It was 9% in TBC I'm pretty sure, it's 8% now.

Twitter @Aggathon || @Tankspot || Twitch.Tv/Aggathon
What matters to me is that I know what the real number is and how it works.
Firstly, thank you to everyone for all the help and input that you have made to my thread, it is a real joy to see people getting involved and helping out and is one of the reason I love tankspot. So thanks to you all.
I have no threat problems at all, my rotations and such are born from advice previously gained on these very forums and I am very happy with it
I would like to look at putting more stamina into my build and if my hit and expertise is where it should be (as you guys ahve said) then I may swap out a good few gems for stamina ones (socket bonus dependent).
I will make some changes and repost my findings in here.
Cheers people, the help is appreciated very much.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The College of William and Mary is locking in tuition rates for new Virginia students and tying increases for returning in-state students to the inflation rate.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/Z9gNm5 ) that the Board of Visitors approved the plan Friday. College officials say it brings predictability to the cost of a degree.
New in-state students next year will pay $10,428 in tuition. That rate will be frozen for four years.
Mandatory fees will not be locked in. Those charges and room and board will bring the total to $25,279.
Future classes will start with a higher tuition rate, also guaranteed for four years.
Returning Virginia students will pay $8,833 in tuition, a 1.8 percent increase based on inflation. With mandatory fees and room and board, the cost will be $23,684.

text: "Head Sounds" is a heck of a great way to describe this album – as it's filled with some of Ray's most mind-expanding cuts! The album kicks off with the tune "Acid", which you probably know from the album of the same name, but which still really does a great job of setting the pace here – and then it rolls into some fantastic longer cuts that really have a very strong jazz component. Ray and the group stretch out tremendously, hitting off-color notes and tones that almost make the record feel like one of Eddie Palmieri's jammers from the same time. 3 tracks on the set are over 8 minutes long, which should give you a good feel of the openness of the work – and titles include "Abidjan", "Espiritu Libre", "Drum Poem", and "Tin Tin Deo". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.
