Regarding Itemization:
Resilience seems to cost much less points on an item than Defense Rating and as such wearing a PvP items might offer more for tanking than equivalent items found in PvE which are actually intended for tanking.
It takes 60 Defense Rating to reduce your chance to be crit by 1%.
It takes 39.4 Resilience to reduce your chance to be crit by 1%.
For Example:
So it takes 336 Defense Rating to get to 490 Defense and become crit immune. Where as it would take only 220.64 Resilience to create a similar effect and since Defense only adds additional avoidance when it comes to Effective Health PvP items seem to provide more Effective Health than regular PvE items.Merciless Gladiator's Shield Wall provides 31 Resilience.
31 Resilience / 39.4 Resilience Rating = 0.78680203% reduce to crit
0.78680203 * 60 (the amount of defense rating in 1% crit reduction) = 47.2081218
...which means that this shield could be said to have ~47 Defense Rating
This is obviously pushing the envelope, but I figured it'd be a good thing to discuss.
Last edited by veneretio; 08-01-2007 at 03:38 PM.
Def adds block, which can directly be translated into effective health on fast hitting mobs.
Once you hit the Cap of 490 def, Then the damage reduction componment becomes void as above stated. Hoever, I also want to point something else out.
1 point of def = 2.36 Def rating at level 70
to become crit immune you need to get 140 def over the 350 defense you have at level 70, therfore you would need around 331 Defense rating. However, At level 70, with 490 def You would have and extra 5% chance to Parry, Block, dodge or be missed by attacks(i think thats right, someone corect me if im not)
With resiliance, you need 39.4 Rating per 1%. So times that by 5 and you need a resiliance rating of 197, This can only be acheived for PvP. However this does not have any other stats attached like Defense does, therfore, Resilience wouldn't mitigate as much damage as straight out defense would.
Someone feel free to correct me if im wrong or i have anything that shouldn't be there, But what im bassicly saying, is that point for point, In most PvE situations, Def is better then resiliance.
I've clarified my initial post.
Note: Block value contributes to Effective Health, Block rating which Defense provides does not.
Last edited by veneretio; 08-01-2007 at 03:38 PM.
On a fast hitting mob or when SB is down, SBR is the only way to take advantage of all that yummy SBV you've saved up.
so, the budget is clear that each point of res is less than that for each point of dodge. Why though? Because defense is not simply crit reduction.
1 Defense Skill
Dodge __________________ 0.04%
Parry __________________ 0.04%
Block __________________ 0.04%
Chance to be Missed ____ 0.04%
Chance to be Crit ______ -0.04%
so you are giving up
2.4% dodge
2.4% parry
2.4% block
2.4% chance to be missed
a total of 9.6% avoidance and block.
To me for a MT the answer is rather clear. There just simply is too much to be sacrified to tank with resiliance. Along with the fact that there is no real itemization to effectively tank with res. gear.
The arguement of can you become crit immune to res isnt in question for PVE. However, it just isnt feasable for a MT. For an OT however, I can see using some Glad gear to gain crit immunity and still be able to effectively keep 2nd on the threat table.
Effective Health is not an end goal, it's an early benchmark. Once you've got enough for a specific fight, you don't need more, and you want Avoidance.
Atlantian points out the issue. The sacrifice is way too steep. The advantage of the Warrior class -- the reason to stack +Stam gems -- is because there is so much innate Avoidance on our gear. Defense and Avoidance are never bad, or worthless, or even low rated, we just have a lot of it on gear naturally... assuming the Warrior is wearing normal tank gear.
Also, even if you reach "crit immunity" faster, you greatly reduce your Crushing Blow immunity. Avoidance is the only effective way to reduce the chance that attacks will come too quickly, get past your Shield Block charges, and land as crushing. This means that Effective Health needs to be 50% higher on any boss with a fast attack speed or with special attacks (nearly all of them). Wanderlei's work is ideal for seeing this relationship.
Finally, there's not gear to compensate. You aren't going to come up with a full set of gear that will be good for raid tanking. There's no gear that has +Stamina, +Armor, and +Resilience as it's sole stats -- if there was, you could quickly become a Feral Druid with Shield Block (isn't that overpowered!). What you wind up with is so many wasted item stats on Crit, etc., that any gain you make with Resilience is lost due to overall loss of stats like Shield Block Value.
However, yes, many PVP items give a solid benefit to EH. What can be effective is mixing certain pieces of gear from Arena S2. I've seen several raid tanks who are effectively dipping below 490 and using Arena shields to cover the rest of the "crit immunity" difference. I've also seen a few wearing shoulders due to the Armor/Health combination, again dipping below 490 and using Resilience to catch up.
I just don't think you could realistically bypass most +Defense gearing in favor of +Resilience. I don't think there's gear that supports it, and I have a gut feeling that as you got more gear you wanted even just for Effective Health, you'd notice most of it has +Def on it anyway. So no worries!
In resistance fights resilience is great to reach uncrittable status, but as previous posted, you are losing too much if you switch defense for resilience in your regular gear.
In summary, TBC raiding is easy. 9/10 encounters can be summarized with 1 phrase. Stay out of the fucking fire.

In 1896, King said that, "Red Clover is an excellent alterative, and one of the few remedies which favorably influences pertussis. In earlier editions of this work it was stated that a 'strong infusion of the plant is said to afford prompt relief in whooping cough, suspending the spasmodic cough entirely in 2 or 3 days; it is to be given in 1/2 fluid ounce, every 1 or 2 hours, throughout the day.' Since then the remedy has come into extensive use, but the statement should be modified, as it does not reach all classes of cases. When the proper case is found it acts promptly, but as yet the specific indications in this complaint have not been discovered. It is also a remedy in other spasmodic coughs, as those of measles, bronchitis, laryngitis, phthisis, etc. It is an excellent internal agent for those individuals disposed to tibial and other forms of ulcers, and it unquestionably retards the growth of carcinomata, and may be freely administered to those of a cancerous diathesis. The extract, spread on linen or soft leather, has long been said to be an excellent remedy for cancerous ulcers. This assertion, however, has not been so well verified as its action in retarding the growths when administered internally for a prolonged period. It is also highly recommended in ill-conditioned ulcers of every kind, and deep, ragged-edged, and otherwise badly-conditioned burns. It possesses a peculiar soothing property, proves an efficient detergent, and promotes a healthful granulation."
After another quarter century of experience with the herb, the Eclectic Materia Medica of 1922 recommended it for the specific indications of, "irritability of the respiratory passages, with dry, explosive cough; carcinomatous cachexia," and gave the following information:
"Trifolium is alterative and anti-spasmodic. It relieves irritability of the respiratory tract, alleviating dry, irritable and spasmodic cough. Whopping cough is especially moderated by it, and it is frequently effective in lessening the distressing cough of measles. It also modifies cough in bronchitis and laryngitis. Its alterative powers are underrated, and it should be given where a general deobstruent effect is desired in chronic skin diseases, and unquestionably has a retarding effect upon malignant neoplasms."
Red Clover's prestige in the alternative health community in the last few decades has been based partly on its use as an anti-cancer agent. It is an ingredient in every famous cancer formula, including such as Jason Winter's Tea, the Hoxsey Cancer Formula, Essiac Tea, and Christopher's Anti-Cancer Remedy (Red Clover Blend). More recently, it has become the hot topic because of the potential estrogenic effects of its isoflavone content. The jury is still out on that one, but most of its more traditional uses seem well justified.
Indicated Usages - Internal:
Indicated Usages - External:
It is often compared to alfalfa both for its nutritional value and appearance. The flowers are used in folk medicine as a cure for any lump or tumor. They are reported to have diuretic, expectorant, antispasmodic and estrogenic properties.
Red clover is a blood purifier that increases the body's production of urine and mucous and promotes menstrual flow. It is most often combined with chaparral as a folk remedy for cancer.
Red clover has been used to treat cancer, rheumatism, jaundice, inflammatory skin conditions, spasmodic dysmenorrhea and bronchitis.
Contain bitter compounds that increase the production of digestive fluids and enzymes, especially bile. These compounds also shrink inflammation and relieve pains. Red clover is an excellent herbal source of calcium, chromium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. It has been used to treat arthritis, jaundice, liver congestion, muscle cramps, and inflammatory skin conditions.
Red Clover is high or very high on the following nutrients:
Has been used in the following:
Cautions: Red Clover has some blood clotting properties. Therefore, you may want to avoid using it while taking blood thinning agents for conditions such as lupus. It should also be avoided during pregnancy.
Uses: It's mostly used for internal applications: teas, tinctures, capsules, food recipes, etc. Our two favorite uses are in teas and meals. It has a rather mild flavor so you hardly know it's there. Like many other bulk herbs, we add it to many dishes (salads, meat dishes, soups, stews, etc.) in small amounts for added nutrition and fiber without affecting the flavor. Red Clover can be used to benefit men, women (including before OR after pregnancy but not during. It is safe while nursing) and children. It can be used as often as you would like.
Storage: The nutrients in Red Clover are very sensitive to air and light exposure. It should be kept in an airtight container and stored in a dark, dry, and cool place. Refrigeration or freezing is great but not necessary.

I purchased this for my parents, and when it arrived, decided to utilize some myself. After drinking my very first cup, I was extremely amazed at the calming effect (only to read on this site) "It possesses a peculiar soothing property" :-)
Well, I now take a cup first thing in the morning, and just before going to bed - it's really worked wonders.

I brew a red clover blossom infusion to help with hormone issues of hot flashes and mood swings. I feel this infusion helps me a lot and have at least 1 cup a day. It smells incredible in the bag. A squeeze of lemon and a little stevia in the tea makes my day start wonderful.

This is a good computer and will work great as a server definitely so I decided to install Ubuntu Server on it. I'm a Gentoo user normally but being the adventure that I am I decided to try something new.
Ubuntu official doesn't support PowerPC documentation or installation-CDs anymore but the community do still produce installtion-CDs.
Processor - G4 400MHz RAM - 512 MB Videocard - Rage 128 Pro, AGP 4xsl Hard Drive - 10.3 Quantum Fireball LM10.2 Network - Built-in Sun GEM Gigabyte Ethernet - TRENDnet TEG-PCITXR Gigabyte Ethernet - uses Realtek 8169 chipset
The best place to begin with an old computer is to test the hardware. Apple has done a good thing and made their PowerPC Hardware Test CDs available for download. You'll need Mac OS X to burn CD dmg images though, I've tried various Windows (MagicISO) and Linux utilies (dmg2iso, dmg2img, acetoneiso2) that don't work.
I'm building a server to use as a firewall so all the hardware is there except an additional network card. Another network card will be needed to route to another computer. Here's good list of Power Mac G4 network cards that work in OS X, check and see if there is a Linux driver for them. The card listed above does.
Update Firmware
The firmware will need to be updated to the most recent available. You can check this by booting into Open Firmware (Apple + Option + O + F) at boot and looking at the OF version on the top then compare it to the newest on Apple's website.
This firmware update requires Mac OS 9.1, luckily I have an old iBook 9.0 install disk that installed. The old software update panel doesn't work any more though but the 9.1 update can be downloaded. I downloaded the files onto my Linux desktop and burned them to disk:
mkisofs -o PowerMacG4-Updates.iso G4_FW_Update_4.2.8.smi.bin \ Mac_OS_9.1_Update.smi.bin cdrecord -v -dao PowerMacG4Firmware.iso
Reset NVRAM, PRAM, Clock
It's a real good idea to reset the NVRAM, PRAM and Clock in case any values are set incorrectly:
- Remove or disconnect the memory battery. Leave the battery disconnected for 5-10* minutes.
- Reinstall or reconnect the battery.
- Depress the CUDA (aka PMU) button (for 5 seconds) with a non-metallic (plastic, wood, etc.) device.
- If this doesn't work, change the RAM. Either add or remove a stick then zap the PRAM (Apple+Option+P+R), wait for three chimes. After that shutdown, add/remove the RAM and start again.
Clock Set, Optional Password
Boot into Open Firmware again and set the clock (military time):
decimal dev rtc sec min hour day month year set-time
Optionally you can add security so no one can tamper your Open Firmware settings, and add protection from being able to be able to boot directly to disk, CD, or netboot.
Linux StartCD
I used Linux to download and burn the install CD, Ubuntu CD's can be found here.
And burned them with:
cdrecord -v dao name.iso
The Power Mac G4 Sawtooth Open Firmware only has rudimentary support for Linux and cannot boot Linux CD's by holding down C or holding down option. Rather you will need to direct OF to the Linux InstallCD's yaboot file:
boot cd:,\install\yaboot
Select Kernel and Options
The Ubuntu Installer will now ask what kernel to load and will tell of a few options that can be passed to the kernel. For most people, the default install-ppc will do – use -smp for duelcpu systems. I decided on the expert-powerpc.
For reference, I followed and the Ubuntu Server Guide and the slightly aged Ubuntu PowerPC Guide for PowerPC related parts.
Switch to Console for a Couple Tasks
When the installer begins a couple tasks may need to be done. First if you didn't use the Apple Hardware Test Disk, check the hard disk now for bad blocks. Also the console too add the ide-scsi device to the kernel, the Debian installer fails to recognize it. Get to the second console by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2.
Check for Damaged Blocks on Drive(s):
Bad blocks can cause serious problems running software. If you discover a bad block it will be marked and not used but be warned when drives begin to get bad blocks the drive is almost always failing.
mac-fdisk -l mke2fs -j -c /dev/sda
DVD/CD-ROM Drive Not Detected
On this computer, the installer failed to load the driver to have the DVD/CD-ROM work (go ahead – it won't hurt if you don't need it):
modprobe ide-scsi
Return to the install by doing Ctl + Alt + F1
Time to Build
Basically you just go step by step. Select you langauge and in keyboards select "macintosh" for keyboard. "Detect and Mount CD-ROM" should now work, then "Load debconf…" and then "Load installer components from CD". I did this quickly after the "Detect and Mount…" option because once the CD was forgoten by the installer.
In "…InstallerComponents" the only option I choose was "mirror select" but its buggy and didn't work for me. You can find the mirrors available and then you have to enter the mirror without any subdirectories (e.g. ftp.osuosl.org) in the next dialog enter the subdirectorties (e.g /pub/ubuntu-releases/). I ended up choosing the default UK mirror. The mirror can later be change in
You'll need to have to download some files for the download to complete so setup the network.
When you get to partitioning choose the one right for you. I decided on the LVM with encryption. This too has a bug. I got a dialog that said "No NewWorld boot partition was found…". Yaboot (the Mac bootloader) requires this to boot. As I said its a bug and you can ignore it. It will ask you, "Go back to the menu and resume partitioning?" Select "No" and write the partition table.
The rest should be pretty self explanitory, configure the package manager, users… I opted to have a root account because I know "rm -f /" is bad. ;) Install the software you need. The Ubuntu Server Guide details plenty of options: a dns server, firewall, web server… I installed OpenSSH server because it's easier just to have one monitor on my desk. LAMP to use apache for webadmin tasks (OSSEC-HID, snort) and DNS Server to setup a local LAN.
Now install the yaboot bootloader (skip LTSP), and thats all you need to do. End the installtion and it'll ask you what type of clock you want. I set the clock to UTC time.
Reboot system and see your new Ubuntu server.
Package Management
I've built a script to use from the command line that I've put on the Ubuntu Forums for package management.
change console font in
Debians bashrc tanks – better bashrc
vim-lite wtf?
Good luck with your new OS!

It's appreciated Kelsh
No problem. I have to say, your avatar is pretty bangin Mex.
I need an avatar that suits me.
I love my avatar.
I don't really have any complaints about my position. Only one thing I have a complaint about...
I always thought it was Grayland.
Then what is all this talk of Graytown?
If we were a single civilization, yes. Remember lad, we live in loosely connected tribes.
This reminds me, I should rebirth the Grayland thread, and actually sustain it to weave my tales of enlightenment on this much-wondered about plane.
Why not be the one to connect these tribes? And rule them with an iron fist.
All will become clear once I restart this ancient documentary.
casey your avatar really is nice. =]
=D i read lenore last night, and i drew a pretty kick ass picture of her.
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore....
Batshit crazy yo. Batshit crazy.

It's one thing to get sneaky on your neighbors by piggybacking off of their WiFi so you can get free Internet.
It's quite another story when you go to court seeking over $500K in damages because your neighbor won't stop using a WiFi router, or other popular electronics devices like an iPhone, laptop charger and lighting dimmer switches.
But that's what New Mexican Arthur Firstenberg is doing, alleging pain and suffering in a lawsuit against his neighbor because those on-24/7 electronics are feeding the Electromagnetic Sensitivity (EMS) he claims to suffer from, the Santa Fe Reporter and Huffington Post are reporting. It doesn't sound like the kind of fun that everyone else with an iPhone is having—Firstenberg claims the electromagnetic radiation from the laptop charger, wireless modem, et al are causing "nausea, vertigo, diarrhea, ringing in the ears, severe headaches and body aches, crippling joint pains, insomnia, impaired vision, impaired muscular control" hence the $530,000 he's seeking.
Firstenberg has other supporters for his cause, who have outcried against public WiFi (don't they know how great Barnes & Noble or Panera are when you're in a bind?) in Santa Fe.
We're not trying to be completely insensitive to Firstenberg's case, but the money seems a bit much ... maybe Apple can dig into its deep pockets though to help. We'll have to see what the court says about this matter, but hopefully no one comes knocking on your door. We don't want to cause any iPhone/WiFi rage, or give you any more reason to battle your neighbors.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

BALTIMORE (AP) - The chimpanzees at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore think their team is going to win Sunday's Super Bowl.
The zoo on Friday orchestrated a way for the animals to make their prediction. Keepers put up two paper banners in the chimps' enclosure, one for the Baltimore Ravens and another for the San Francisco 49ers. The zoo's 11 chimpanzees were then allowed in to the enclosure. Zoo spokeswoman Jane Ballentine says the chimps first ripped off a piece of the Baltimore banner, signaling their prediction.
The zoo has made banners for the chimps to tear down before on occasions like Halloween and Valentine's Day, but they've never been used as a prediction tool.
The chimps were also given junior size footballs in Ravens colors to play with on Friday.

Via The Player's View:
Earlier today we introduced you to Glen Davis' new dance single "Big Baby Gon Turn It Up." The song brought forth the in-house statement this must be the worst song that an athlete has ever released.
Sadly after we racked our brains and revisited these previous efforts, that was not to be the case. Not by a long shot.
#15 Deion Sanders: "Must Be The Money"
In a g-funk ode to off-key singing, Sanders gives it a go on this tribute to himself. If he played during the Auto Tune era things may have be different. This will not be the last time Prime Time shows up on this list. We love you Deion but nobody can do it all.
#14 Free Reign: "One Step Away"
There are a lot of Cowboys on this list. Makes you wonder if owner Jerry Jones decided to try his hand at pimping his players out in the music business.
No matter, this metal band made up of offensive linemen Leonard Davis, Marc Colombo and Cory Procter that now play for various teams are loud enough but the cliché lives on.
Their generic blend of metal stalwarts Godsmack, Staind and Metallica is for die-hards of either their various teams or the genre only.
#13 Glen Davis: "Big Baby Gon Turn It Up"
You knew he was going to be here at some point. The man that got it all started throws T-Pain's worst Auto Tune nightmare into the blender with pop's version of trance music to have you shaking your head more than your behind.
#12 Shaquille O'Neal: "Skillz"
There are many Shaq audio disasters to choose from but this one kills them all like a sniper. This Dr. Dre influenced beat from the early '90s is what it is and that is pretty bad.
#11 Terry Bradshaw: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
Based on the world's reaction to his recent comments on Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Terry might be crooning this country ditty right now.
What's worse the outfit or the ear-splitting vocal?
#10 Manny Pacquiao: "Sometimes When We Touch"
I like the Pac-Man but words can't sincerely say what this is all about.
#9 Troy Aikman & Waylon Jennings: "The Good Old Dallas Cowboys"
If it was findable, Aikman's solo single "Oklahoma Nights" would have been here. If you can find it, don't pull the trigger and give it a listen.
This duet should be enough of a sampler platter of what Aikman can do behind the microphone.
#8 FSU Seminoles: "Seminole Rap"
It's too easy to find whack team songs to put this together. If you had to pick the worst of the worst, FSU's rap disaster has to be it.
We stated earlier that Deion Sanders would be back and low and behold it's evident that Sanders knew he was the man.
#7 Wyclef Jean feat. The Rock " It Doesn't Matter"
This lives among the tackiest ideas that anybody ever brought to fruition. Released in 2000 when both The Rock and Wyclef were peaking, it screams good marketing.
All that we got was bad music. This island-flavored car wreck is a mess.
#6 Delonte West feat. Kaye M – "Livin Life Fast"
When hip-hop is done wrong the parody level that oozes out of that situation is as evident as high-beams coming off a monster truck in the middle of the night on a dark road.
Delonte West has always operated as something of a cartoon character both on and off the court. This is further proof as to why that is the case. LeBron James certainly got a nice chuckle out of this.
#5 Corey & The Phins: "Can't Touch Us"
You know the whole thing about trying to not include team songs? The key word was trying. Sorry, Seminoles. You're not the king of this distinguished mountain.
The Miami Dolphins' reckless attempt at a rap song legitimized both Weird Al and Vanilla Ice. Oof.
#4 Golf Boys: Golf Boys: "Oh Oh Oh"
This was supposed to be a joke. This PGA mash-up of the game's hottest players and a boy band is creepy.
The video is far worse than the song is because truthfully the audio itself just sounds like an Escalade commercial, but the visuals are so freighting than even Boy George would find it garish.
#3 John Daly: "I Found It"
A deep sigh is all you will muster for this boogie-woogie slice of shameful blues.
The backup vocals heading into the second verse are fall down funny.
#2 Tony Parker: "Premier Amour"
If this was playing in the club when Parker was injured during Chris Brown and Drake's melee, Parker has no business suing anybody after a fight broke out.
#1 Kobe Bryant feat. Tyra Banks "K.O.B.E.
'The ego has landed' should have been the sub title for one of the worst songs in any genre that has ever left a recording studio. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but most of all you will be angry that you can't get the time invested in checking out the song.

Freeport man seeks 'heroes' who saved him, pup from icy waters
Nick Secchi is looking for the heroes who saved him and his puppy from almost certain death on the evening of March 4.
Secchi, 49, of Freeport, is retired on disability because of leg problems.
But that didn't stop him from jumping into the water at the Milburn Pond Park bulkhead to save his 12-week-old puppy, Baby Girl. She had jumped from the car in the parking lot and ran to the end of the ramp straight into the icy water.
MORE: newsday.com/towns | Free community newsletters
SOCIAL: @NewsdayTowns | Google+
"It took me 30 seconds to make up my mind and take off my coat to go in after her," he said. "Not only was I listening the pup's wailing, but I could just imagine hearing my 11-year-old daughter's cries."
Secchi, who weighs about 220 pounds, jumped in, retrieved the almost comatose dog after a few minutes and was able to place her on a beam about a foot from the top of the ramp.
But he couldn't pull himself out, and mud was holding him down.
"The more I struggled, the deeper I went into the mud. After about 15 minutes, it was up to my knees," said Secchi, who was hollering as loudly as he could. But by then hypothermia had set in, and he really was squeaking more than hollering he said.
"Then, this guy came to end of the ramp, reached down and grabbed my hand, but he couldn't get me up. He was pretty big himself, tall at least," he said.
He did get the pup out, and his wife or girlfriend wrapped her in a coat or something and called the cops. She kept hollering, "What's the name of this place?" The guy, he said, got an air hose and threw it to him. "I wrapped it around me, but he still couldn't get me out," Secchi said.
In a few more minutes, he said, the woman flagged down a Freeport Police car, and the cops helped the guy pull Secchi out. He was eventually taken to the hospital. But he said the police never would tell him the name of the couple, citing "policy," Secchi said.
Freeport police would not return two calls from Newsday inquiring about the policy.
Secchi said he just wants to personally thank the couple. "What's so bad about that?" he asked.
His telephone number is 347-531-7807.

Need another tablet in your mix? Make a note of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet.
The Note 10.1 is a 10.1-inch Android tablet with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel main camera and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera. It also has S Pen, which features 1,024 levels of sensitivity. That basically means you can jot down a few notes with the same precision of a pen and paper. For a little S Pen fun, the unit also comes packing a free copy of Photoshop Touch (normally $9.99).
Another nifty feature is Multiscreen, which allows users to multitask apps side-by-side on the same screen. View web pages while taking notes, check in on your home controls while watching a movie, and more—all without having to toggle back and forth between apps. Also, this functionality means you can capture and crop an image from an app on one side and drag it to the other. At launch, S Note, Internet Browser, Video Player, Email, Gallery and Polaris Office will all support the Multiscreen feature.
Other highlights include Polaris Office, the Pop up Play feature, a mini-apps tray, Barnes & Noble's NOOK reading app, AllShare, and support for the Samsung Smart Remote, powered by Peel.
"Our goal with the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 was simple—redefine the tablet experience," said Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Electronics America. "The S Pen offers both active content creation as well as passive content consumption, while the Multiscreen capability finally enables true multitasking. For the user, the resulting experience is completely new and quite unexpected."
Samsung seems pretty eager about this one, too. It was announced today, but should be available for your sweaty hands by tomorrow, August 16, 2012. However, if you're in New York City, you can snag the Galaxy Tab 10.1 now, at Best Buy's Union Square store.
Available in white or dark gray and in 16GB or 32GB configurations, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has an MSRP of $499 and $549, respectively. That price also comes with a free 2-year subscription to Dropbox, with 50GB of storage. Also look for plenty of add-ons, such as the replacement S Pen, the S Pen Holder Kit, a Book Cover in Grey or White, a Travel Charger, the USB Connection Kit to allow usage of thumb drives or USB peripherals, an HDMI adapter and the Universal Desktop Dock.

Squier® is very proud to introduce its new Telecaster® Bass Special, which presents an exciting new sonic and stylish twist on a long-familiar design. Its time-honored body and headstock shape are well balanced by a comfortable medium scale length (32") that will appeal to bassists and guitarists alike. Remarkable tonal versatility comes from its large chrome-covered Fender®-designed Wide Range humbucking neck pickup, Duncan Designed™ JB-102B single-coil Jazz Bass® bridge pickup, and three-way blade switching (both pickups together and each pickup individually). Other distinctive features include black "barrel" switch tip, knurled chrome control knobs, vintage style bridge with four chrome saddles, vintage-style tuners and strap buttons, and single-ply pickguard (white on Black model, black on Vintage Blonde model).

I had to wait about a year to get this bass in Indonesia ,, now this bass is in my hands, I am very happy, the body looks very pretty and the tone sounds very good to the ear, I do not regret it ... thanks Squier by Fender ... sorry for my bad english
radityadimas owns this item
Great idea for a bass. Sounds superb, especially with both pickups on. Neck pu is thick and soft, bridge pu is a hot jazz, so it breathes and growls. Looks beautiful too, especially in blonde. Amazing value for the build quality.
BUT. Three things let it down. Firstly the body is BIG and needs to be made of something light. It should probably be chambered too. But as it is it's too heavy. I couldn't play it on a strap for more than a song or two.
Secondly, the neck is a big thick club. Yes I know it's a Tele bass but the mid-scale suggests Fender could have profiled it a bit finer. Not a deal breaker but almost.
Thirdly, the G string seems too far over. It slid off the neck a few times and sits outside the coils on both pus. The problem seems to be at the bridge rather than the nut. This is simply unacceptable nowadays.
Overall, if I received this as a present I'd be very grateful. But I won't buy one. Hopefully the problems can be sorted prior to the next production run.
When I tried it in a local store, I was hooked. The tones (with the 3-position switch) are great. The touch of the maple neck is always a welcomed feeling. Although it is a medium-scale, the difference is not so drastic compared to a long-scale bass. I got the black (with white pickguard) and it is beautiful. The only drawback would be its weight. It is heavy (with a wider body).

I have owned a black one for about six months now and enjoy playing my Tele bass so much. I sold another brand's bass soon after I bought the Tele Special with two pickups. It has a deep thud from the humbucker and crisp sound from the Duncan jazz. Putting them both together is what gives this bass the sound I have been wanting. It also has a nice neck width and I love the maple fretboard. This is an excellent value for money!

What a fantastic bass. A bit hard to get the right balance between the super hot mudbucker pickup and the great Duncan J pickup. But once there, it's great! Stack knob controls would give total control and put this fast playing bass outta da ballpark !
You don't even notice the medium scale, it is so much fun to play.
Finally a proper Tele body on a Tele Bass !

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Maybe Kakashi or Rin are under a Genjutsu?
I really doubt it is a zetsu clone due to the fact the eyes were linked, obito could see through kakashi's sharingan.
Most likely Rin was under someones control and kakashi had no other choice but to kill her, or she turned on Konoha.
Or another guess which is probably way off, what if Rin is actually a zetsu clone and she is still alive, or killed by madara later on?
He wasn't wearing his headband when Obito was crushed by the rocks either. Nor at his fight at the bridge when he was named "Sharigan Kakashi" or "Hero with the sharigan". Anyway, that had to have been the real Kakashi. Obito was able to see what Kakashi was seeing through the eye Obito gave him. That is proof right there.
Last edited by Zato; 10-06-2012 at 09:52 PM.
Dude ಠ_ಠ,Obito was able to see with his left eye ,which is in Kakashi's eye socket ,Zetsu can't copy an eye from another person, imagine there were together (Obito ,Kakashi and Zetsu clone Kakashi) is Obito then suppost to have tree images in his head ?
To be clear ,it was Kakashi (for now ,we shall see more in the next chapter)
Not trolling ,just explaning simple logic
I dont think he was a clone cause u know how
kakashi and obitos eyes are connected, obito saw what kakashi saw when he pierced rin.
I havent read all of the Gaiden chapter but did Kakashi say that Rin died on the battlefield?
Could it possibly be that That young rin was a Zetsu Clone, Kakashi killed him, but Tobi will leave before the Young Rin transforms back?

Why would a Zetsu clone cry?

Sorry to burst ur bubbles but it was the real kakashi, may have been a false rin though. I'll explain, on his way to the battle remember Obito was seeing images of Rin bleeding out the mouth, it's b/c Obito's & Kakashi's eyes are linked basically & so Obito see's images from the eye he gave kakashi. Point is Zetsu cannot copy or make Sharingan. lol headbands fall off in battle period.
or maybe it just fell off
Remeber that Zetsu records all the battles that has ever happened.....
You're thinking way too much into this. Its most likely just a coincidence. but i guess it was pretty cool how you noticed it.
intresting point there. I guess in time we will find out what happened. I mean kakashi must know so itll be intresting to hear his side of story.
It couldn't possibly be a zetsu clone. Think about it, to clone people Zetsu has to come into contact with them. Im pretty sure Kakashi would remember a ****ing walking venus flytrap touching him at some point. I think its just coincidence and his headband fell off in the heat of battle
i think madara used zetsu to trick obito
Originally Posted by Odemgee

but not knowing about Zetsu at the time just wrote it off as rin being under some kind of genjutsu, and since she was held captive right at madra's door step they could have made the switch there. I know it say that the Zetsu clone supposedly copy's the person right down the there chakra it could be possible that the sharingan can still see through it (just like Naruto can tell while he is in nine tails chakra mode)
hence Obito noticing Rin's chakra was different while she was captured. So kakashi could have finally relized later on that that wasn't the real rin and killed her.
This makes sense! Either way something is fishy because they both are in the same physical condition as they were when obito "died". I'm sure they've cleaned up and gotten a new pair of threads by now lol.
ok just wanted to say all this thread has is useless it is kakashi cause zetsu cant duplicate sharigans and obito momentary sees rin get struck down with his removed eye (what kakashi is seeing) which means it is his eye and he does it end of zetsu bulllshit with kakashi im thinking zetsu copied rin and did bad stuff and then let the real rin take the fall
neji kisame zetsu clones had their head bands zetsu clones can copy the head band to
Maybe it fell off in battle.
I believe Kishimotos gonna throw a complete curve all as always. He knows what all the fans guesses on what happens are. So goes completely opposite of it in the most creative and interesting way possible, without making the the outcome seem stupid.
I think this scene is totally legit. Kishi is showing us how Kakashi awakened the Mangekyo. What we don't know yet, is the motivation. Maybe it was a similar situation as when they thought Obito died.
What if she was somehow dying, and Kakashi killed her as mercy, and inadvertently awakened the Mangekyo?
Nice find, +Rep. It's really got me interested to see what happens next. Hope your theory's right.
Originally Posted by NarutoFan20

Obito: where is the Yellow flash?
Spiral zetsu: he's on a mission.
Why would a teacher leave his students unattended in an enemy country?
Zetsu is a good liar. he also taught obito how to lie. -_-
because his student is a jonin and a leader of his own squad. you know, kinda like how kakashi led them on the mission to destroy the bridge while he went to the front lines.
I think it is an accident that Kakashi kills Rin he in the present and the past looks devastated at what he did. And both him and Obito saw Rins death so MS might awaken.

Fragile Foundation
The capital markets have recovered … or have they?
regulated utilities will need to build up their renewable energy platforms to comply with a federal RPS. Combine that with the fact a number of renewable energy development companies are small and don't have access to capital, and it creates an opportunity for utilities to buy vs. build out those portfolios.
Wood: There's an age-old debate about the best model for renewable energy project ownership. The two camps are utility rate-base ownership vs. independent development of renewable generation with long-term utility off-take contracts.
The U.S. generation market is enormous, and as a consequence there's ample room for both models. The market is open for the small independent developer, the larger integrated power developer and owner, as well as the utility developer. We believe you will see more utilities enter this market. The tax benefits make it easier for them to meet regulatory requirements and customer demands to make sure things are built out. Every utility will decide where it wants to be in the value chain. It will catch on faster in some regions than in others. California is the most vivid example, but whether it's a role model for the country is another question.
Fortnightly: Where do you see the capital markets headed in the mid-term future, in terms of accessibility and pricing?
Peiffer: I think interest rates will stay lower than what the market expects them to be over the next 12 to 18 months. It will be awhile before inflation kicks in and starts pushing rates up. Also, I expect spreads will continue tightening. We've had relatively more positive economic data being announced in recent weeks. Banks and economists are moving up their GDP forecasts, and corporate earnings are more consistently exceeding expectations than not exceeding them. There's still room for spreads to tighten. However the same improvements in the economy that would cause spreads to tighten also will cause Treasury rates to move up, so you'll have some offset between Treasury rates and spreads.
However, technical drivers also will keep interest rates low. No one wants to be left sitting on the sidelines with cash when spreads are tightening. This is especially true for utilities, which are known as a strong cash-flow defensive industry. Many investors view 30-year utility paper as quasi-equity. If they can get 5.75 percent pre-tax, that's a pretty spectacular rate at this point in the economic cycle, where the fundamentals haven't truly turned around yet.
If we're entering a weak recovery, conditions still will be very good for utility financing. There always will be demand for utility bonds, because of the strong cash-flow nature of utilities compared to other sectors, such as retail or manufacturing. In late 2008, nobody wanted to buy the bonds of any other sector.
In a slow-growth scenario, we won't see inflation happening and that's good for interest rates. Spreads won't tighten as much, and they might widen, but we'll still see robust financing for utilities and midstream companies. That's part of the reason there's been such a rush to the market to issue bonds right now; issuers that

The American Vintage series introduces an all-new lineup of original-era model year guitars that bring Fender history and heritage to authentic and exciting new life. With key features and pivotal design elements spanning the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, new American Vintage series instruments delve deep into Fender's roots—expertly preserving an innovative U.S. guitar-making legacy and vividly demonstrating like never before that Fender not only knows where it's going, but also remembers where it came from.
The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender's best selling guitars (their early-'80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was "back" as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, we've completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept—restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more—based on actual vintage guitars we tracked down to make sure we had it right. We did the work, and it shows, because there's pure tonal magic in each new American Vintage instrument.
1964 was a monumental year for popular music and a pivotal year for the Telecaster® guitar, too, as seen in the American Vintage '64 Telecaster. The thicker maple necks of the '50s and early '60s now gave way to a more rounded "C"-shaped profile, this time topped with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with larger pearl dot inlays. Other vintage-accurate touches include a lightweight alder body (ash on White Blonde model), staggered bridge pickup pole magnets, threaded steel "barrel" bridge saddles, three-ply white pickguard with eight holes, top-hat switch tip, flat-top knurled chrome control knobs and more.

This is my new #1. It compares very well against my Custom Shop Teles and Strats. Build quality is tops. The tone... well, this is what a Tele sounds like, in my head. The bridge pickup has that bright, lapsteel sound, but sweet, never harsh. The neck pickup is full and warm, but still very bright. Bell-like. The finish is super thin, and somewhat fragile, as a true lacquer finish can be. It should age gracefully. Overall weight is light. Mine's 7.1 lbs. (Candy Apple Red, alder). The red is so much nicer looking than what is shown on this site. More like Ruby Red. Gorgeous. The neck is classic 60s C-shape. Take a modern C and make it a bit fatter, wider. More 'oval' at the 12th. Fills the hand nicely. Bottom line: if I could go back in time and buy a brand new Tele from my favorite 'tone era,' it would be this guitar. It takes my breath away.

What can I say? I simply love this Tele! The pickups on this thing have the 'perfect' Fender tone qualities I've been looking for, for a long time!
The sound is crystal clear and smoking hot. To me, the '64 represents the best of the pristine tonal qualities of the '52 Vintage Reissue with a hotter edge that fits everything rock, blues, and into a contemporary market. I'm a Fender fan-boy, but this is the guitar I've not been able to find, until now! The rest of the instrument is perfect as well. The 60's style "C" neck gives you something to hold onto without being too much...I have a 7" hand (from wrist to end of middle finger) and this neck fits me with style. Also, I happen to be a fan of the bridge cover...it's nice to let my lazy wrist rest on it from time to time as I play. This is a winner and I wish I could give it more than 5's!
Shine owns this item
I picked up a Lake Placid Blue version of this out of the box classic. I'll start with the case because this site should show the cases too! I have some cool guitars with ugly cases. The case is light brown vintage looking but new, not relected, with gold hinges and lock snaps. The inside is also gold, very rich looking, very clean. You also get a real leather guitar strap, not that plastic crap. In my opinion this makes any other case I've seen look cheap and tacky. Now the guitar. The guitar comes with a bridge ashtray, very cool! The quality is custom shop without the high cost. The feel is perfect, the neck plays fast and I don't get tired or hand cramps. The body is light and resinates for ever. When I play mine I feel like I can do anything with it. Even unplugged it sounds great. The neck pickup sounds incredible. Sad songs sound more sad. Johnny Cash's "Hurt" forget about it! The bridge plays awesome too. Even Metallica sounds great with the single coil. Out of any guitars I have or have had, this is my hands down favorite! The Vintage series that fender is offering is absolutely incredible. I am a huge supporter of Vintage Series. I own the 52 and saving for the 58 Telecaster. If you haven't tried one you are missing out. I sold 3 Gibson Les Paul Standards that I thought were great so I could get the 52 & 64. The Telecaster has changed the way I played and the amount I play. I can't wait to get home from work and jam out. John 5 has it right!

The key looks:
- Men's pyjama suits
- Brocade jackets and dresses with circular puffed sleeves
- Silver mesh corseted gowns embroidered with pale English roses
- Super sized clutches
- Overload of paste jewels on grograin ribbon
