They're level 85. I make do with 3% hit, I mean, I'd need some f'd up luck to not interrupt it.
Should Nefarious adds be treated as lvl 85 or lvl 87 mobs for the purpose of melee interrupting? Thanks.
They're level 85. I make do with 3% hit, I mean, I'd need some f'd up luck to not interrupt it.
If what you said is accurate, you gonna miss an interrupt 40% of the time over the course of a three minute phase.
On 10man it doesn't seem dangerous that we miss one cast during the phase, it's only about 15k damage. I guess if it was after a crackle that would be pretty deadly.
Spell Hit table by target relative level can be found here:
Melee Hit table isn't exactly defined in the article but it does provide the formulas used for it. Special attacks use the single-wielding hit calculation.
For simplicity sake...
+0 Levels = 5%
+1 Levels = 5.5%
+2 Levels = 6%
+3 Levels = 8%

Yeah I'm pretty sure that blast nova hits for a good 40k unmitigated, it usually means death for us if even 1 goes off in 10 or 25 simply because the healer's can't afford to blow the mana.
Luckily as said the adds are only 85 so we have both our tanks hit cap at 5% in 10 man and they never go off. We actually had a couple of instances where non hitcapped DPS had misses and they led to a wipe.
The 5% hit makes dealing with the adds in P3 much easier too if you are an offtank as you should never miss them either.
Must be 40k on 25man then, when we were learning p2 my combat log shows 15k blast novas. Of course, p2 damage on 10man is so stupid finding an opportunity to crackle sometimes isn't possible.
Another mistake to be wary of is that the Blast Wave seems to have a 10-12 second cooldown so if you are shield bashing it there is a very slim chance that it will cast again before your cooldown is up. I learned that the hard way once and switched to pummeling.
Thanks for the info, esp about shield bash cd. I really hope its a bug because how are groups supposed to deal with it otherwise in a ten man run?

Unlikely any 10man will have interrupt problems, especially when even paladin tanks will have an interrupt next patch.I really hope its a bug because how are groups supposed to deal with it otherwise in a ten man run?
Klausi, its not to miss 40% of 15. Its 40% to miss 1 in 15.
Which is not actually 40% because I can't subtract 3 from 5. Its 26% which is still a lot provided that even one missed nova has a high chance of wiping the group.

So the hit cap for lvl 85 is 601 hit rating.
This is the setup I ended up with:
Steelbender's Masterpiece (fire boss in BRC), 93 hit
Bulwark of the Primordial Mound (outside boss in HoO), 85 hit
Slashing Thorns (nature boss in HoO), 63 hit
Pyrium Weapon Chain, 40 hit
Grilled Dragon, 90 hit
Elixir of Impossible Accuracy, 225 hit
This puts you at 596 hit rating or only 4.5 points under the cap. If your lucky enough to still have your hands on the quest shield from Org to Twilight Highlands quest chain, even better.
I think that the elixir is still bugged so no bonus for the alchemists.
You could just reforge whatever current gear you're in for hit. It's nice to gear for 4% hit (which is ~5% spell hit) so your piercing howls don't miss on the adds, so adding an additional 1% to make sure you don't miss an interrupt isn't that bad. Missing kicks on 10m p2 is quite a bit more deadly on 10m than it is on 25m imo. It certainly didn't hit us for 15k (at least not on average). P2 is the hardest phase by far on 10m, whereas p3 is the tougher one on 25m. I wouldn't recommend not capping hit if you're one of the key kickers for 10m p2.
I have about 2.26% hit currently and I avoid hit on gear like the plague, reforging out of it. I use an accuracy elixir and have about 4.5% hit last time I checked. The probability of missing is so low I can ignore it at that point. I kept getting that feel of unease if I did it without the hit elixir, even though the misses are very rare.
I don't think that Piercing Howl has a CD so I don't understand why would anybody care too much whether it misses 1 in 20 or so.

It's about the interrupt during phase 2 not a missed piercing howl. Not everyone on 10 man can bring several reliable kicker to do this on their own.
3 crackles is possible in P1, the third being on the edge between P1 and 2. Have Ony die the moment the 3rd crackle is abt to happen. Our healers are able to mana regen just before the lava hits.
I do a 10 man as a Prot Warrior and am the main (and technically, only) interrupt on my platform. I use pummel. CS is also great. Post 20% executes are also good. Have to watch your rage to ensure Pummel has enough rage to be used to moment it is up.
I use a hit set for Nefarian. My hit is around 6+%. 8% would be cap I believe.

They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
New York circa 1922. Our third look at the Shorpy Mystery Lady, a.k.a. "Farrahan," a.k.a. "Farnham," and possibly your Great-Aunt Agatha. 5x7 glass negative, George Grantham Bain Collection. View full size.
Does anyone get the feeling that these shot are not really documentation, be designed to be titillating? I know, not by modern standards, but there certainly is a lot of "exotic" things in the photographs. Combine that with our cultures perception that anyone who does not ascribe to cultural norms is probably liberal in bed too.
The woman's expression might either be an agreement that although the pictures need to be sexy, the woman herself cannot be flirty or interested in sex (so they can be sold as art or journalism), or the photographer found a woman who will do the modeling, and too the pictures demanded, ignoring the face of the model for the rest of the subject of the photograph.
Or maybe I read too much into things.
I find this woman's utter lack of expression very irritating. Her face is a complete blank. Come on, Miss Farra-farnham-whoever-you-are, crack a smile or something!
Great at poker. The expression on the lady woud be hard to read. Does she have a "high card" or a "full house"?
Black onyx scarab ring -- this lady was definitely into the occult studies!
She does not look like a very happy lady.
She looks quite a bit older in this shot. Whether the light's less forgiving here or more flattering elsewhere I don't know, but it might affect our guess of who she is.
It isn't often I am madly envious of clothing styles on Shorpy, but I am totally lusting over her outfit and earrings. She looks fabulous.
Where have you been Aunt Agatha? You have missed so many family gatherings and Uncle Albert wants you to come home. Please let us hear from you!
The mystery woman appears to be wearing a scarab ring on her right hand. (If you look closely, you can see that the stone has lines carved into it.) This would have been around the right time for the rise in popularity of Egyptian revival ornamentation.

Dell bars Win 7 refunds from Linux lovers
Dell has told a Linux-loving Reg reader that he can't receive a refund on the copy of Windows 7 that shipped with his new Dell netbook because it was bundled with the machine for "free". In October, another Reg reader succeeded in gaining a $115 (£70.34) refund from the computer maker after he rejected the licence for Microsoft' …
...let the consumer make it. Anyway, the burn in tests will be done from the "support" partition they image on to the drives. Only a complete moron would remove that as tech. support will want you to have gone through some tests to get error codes etc for hardware issues.
Still no need for the machine to be infected with a full Windows deployment.
You guys crease me up!
Dell? Test? You think they test them? Ha ha! Funny!
They flash the HDs with a standard WinXp/Vista/7 image, shove the HD into a pre-made case of kit, box it up and send it to the customer! No one tests the kit other than simply powering on the system to ensure it won't be DOA!
Testing! Funny stuff!
Here goes
At the risk of being torn apart for sticking up for the eebil Dell, if you buy a windows based PC you can hardly complain when you recieve a PC with windows on it.
Its like buying a new car, then a week later asking them to take the seats back because you've decided you don't like the colour, and have found the ones you want at another dealer.
Don't want windows? Don't buy a PC with windows installed. Seems pretty straight forward to me
"Its like buying a new car, then a week later asking them to take the seats back because you've decided you don't like the colour, and have found the ones you want at another dealer."
Another bad analogy. The problem in the consumer PC market is that all the seats are blue, for every major manufacturer. THERE IS NO REAL CHOICE! Dell offer NO REAL CHOICE (one shitty netbook does not count). Nor to HP, Toshiba, Sony etc.
I'll type this slowly so people can keep up.
Maybe i'm slow.........
But i've just googled "linux laptop" in shopping and immeadiately found lenovo, acer, asus and HP laptops with linux pre-installed. Maybe if you look for a linux laptop, you will actually find a linux laptop. So there is real choice.
I'll type this slowly so you can keep up.
Show me the links
C'mon, so me the links. I ahve asked time and again on here for links to the ACTUAL PRODUCT and NO ONE can provide them
I know the HP is a lie, because I have tried. Yeah, you'll get Google results but they go no where, or they vanish into the quagmire of USA business account handling. Urgh. UK site, consumer device; prove it.
I would LOVE to be wrong.
Oh, and those links?
Show them to "proper" systems, not to the single, crippled version of some netbook that they may sell as a pathetic PR stunt.
There are plenty of companies who give you the option of buying a PC without an OS installed. But as someone previously said, you also have the option of building your own.
Just because the major players cater to what most of the PC public wants doesn't mean there aren't companies feeding the niche market.
By the same token, personally I can't see why Dell don't offer the choice, as they offer the opportunity to tailor build your own PC, so surely an OS option should be do-able.
Caught you out Steve.
I just did as you suggested - no results (beyond a few components).
C'mon Steve 44, put your money where your mouth is and show me the hard links (UK site, consumer device, any Linux distro, direct from HP, Sony, Tosh, ANY major OEM).
Or I can only conclude you are in serious error with reality.
You use a velvet glove, i'll use chainmail gauntlet
Next idiotic comment? Pretty sure neither of these are netbooks, nor crippled. And hp offers several probooks with linux on them. It's not my fault if you are too stupid to use google, but maybe you shouldn't post comments on here before you learn?
And just in case you think these are home made versions, here's a page from hp's own site
So, i'll take an apology as soon as you can get your head out of your a$$
Not so smart, are ya?
I did post something with three links in, guess moderators didn't like it.
Try this one
Look in the opearting system options. Pretty sure "SUSE LINUX" is a linux operating system. Can't be sure though.
Try harder.
Mods hate me
Tried posting several links, but the mods aren't letting them through.
Try going to the hp website, even the uk one, and looking at the probooks. Do you know what you will find as an operating system option? Suse Linux. Shock horror.
Will be here, waiting for my apology.
So what happens if you buy a car, and decide to install a nice set of luxury leather bucket seats?
Are you obliged to keep or destroy the original seats?
Or.. Can you whack em up on Ebay and get a few quid back.
Or.. Can you leave them on the kerb, free to a good home.
Or.. Can you put them on Freecycle, Loot or any other means of getting someone to take the things away and put them to some use?
Because this is the big difference between a car part and Windows. You can at least give the car part away. You can't do anything with Windows. Including giving it away.. These days, you don't even get a copy of the install disk.
@Not so smart, are ya?
Thanks for proving me right. Those links go no where. Yes, the first page shows SUSE for some notebooks. Now, click on the clink for one of them (say the 4710s), SUSE no longer an option. So then you select "All models". Still no SUSE.
I can't find the page where I can actually BUY this laptop.
AND this is appears to be a business device.
This is exactly what I was going on about - thank you again for helping me prove it.
@Mods hate me
No apology forthcoming, there is still no link to a page where a consumer can buy a PC from a major OEM either naked or with a non-MS OS. I know there are landing pages for business customers, but they lead no where if you want to buy on-line.
Dell's singular offering does not count as a real choice in my book.
That leaves Joe Schmoe with no viable choice other than Windows (tech savvy users can always get what they want (either going to a niche retailer or DIY), but I am not thinking about them).
Don't misunderstand; I want to be proven wrong, I want people to have a choice, I want to issue that apology/thanks for getting a link.
It's not happened yet.
And yes, I have been looking too. I can find Linux systems from other sources, but again that is not what I am talking about. I am pretending to be the average consumer going to the "household names". When you do that it Windows or nothing.
You are slow
If you'd actually attempted to purchase a laptop with Linux on it; you'd have noticed that the models available are a small crappy subset of the ones available with Windows.
re: waiting for my apology.
Don't hold your breath.
Don't want
If you don't want windows, you buy windows and ask the retailer for a refund. That has always been the way. It doesn't become an idiot strategy just because someone changed the rules without telling anyone. Only now that we know the new rules does it become an idiot strategy. New strategy: shop elsewhere.
Penguin because I'm running Linux on a (never windowized) Dell.
Every laptop I have used that has failed in some way has always had the word Dell written on it - don't buy shite
Cods Wallop
If its free, can I have a copy of W7 Pro?
Buy and return?
Some people have suggested ordering a machine from Dell and returning it under the EULA conditions just to piss them off. They would be much more pissed off (and it is more likely to take place) If everyone called Dell and offered to buy a laptop then decline when they will not supply one without a Windows licence.
It would appear on the sales figures as 'lost sales' and be a much larger figure than refunds would be likely to reach.
They may not have a leg to stand on...
... Unfortunantly, when you go looking for win7 eula from Microsoft, available at :
Then, when you make the choice of:
From manufacturer
home basic (or any based on multiple random checks)
then wait for the pdf to load, it seems that the eula shows:
"By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine its return policy. You must comply with that policy, which might limit your rights or require you to return the entire system on which the software is installed."
So unless it has changed since this started, its up to the manufacturer/installer to decide if they will give a refund or not.
It does not say "If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, return it to the retailer for a refund or credit."
This appears to only apply if you purchase as "packaged" software (buy the software separately in its own box it may appear) or from Microsoft directly.
Another car analogy - Yay!
Imagine a car company, that only makes and sells diesel cars. You like the look, and build of these cars, but want a petrol version.
You ask them to supply you one without an engine, because you want to fit it with a diesel engine yourself. How likely is this to happen? It will impact their production, they couldn;t service it, provide a warranty etc.
Once you've bought the diesel version, you can replace the engine if you choose, but don;t expect the company to take it back and refund you. But you wouldn't expect the company to be forced to offer you one without, or offer a petrol version.
Just because you've seen some terrible car analogies is no excuse to make your own. Stop it.
Another car analogy ... why?
That's a great analogy for buying x86 and complaining that it's not RISC. Substitute seat covers for engine and your analogy might work.
Another car analogy - Yay!
Except that you are free to sell that diesel engine on to someone else, but you can't do anything with the copy of Win whatever that you don't want not even give it away for free.
So return the whole system as defection and unusable
I makes sense to return the entire system, as it defective and unusable if you don't accept the EULA -- ask Dell for a system without this defect.
What to do?
Ask Dell via their on-line chat why they don't provide Linux or FreeDOS on PCs in the UK. They seem to offer many in the US, but not the UK.
The more that ask, the greater the apparent demand...
Now that news
of the EULA discrepancy has broke the public will immediately reject Microsoft and embrace Linux.
Sorry boys, but it's just not going to happen.
Everyone's heard of linux, some of us have given it a try and it's OK, but no thanks. There isn't going to be a great awakening of the masses, most people are going to stick with Windows even if it does cost them money, and will never move to Linux.
Time to move on. Spend a bit more time on your social skills or personal hygiene, you'll find it a lot more productive in the long run.
Get Over It!
I'm not reading all the posts that have gone before: I've heard it all before.
Don't expect pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap suppliers (though with Dell, really not SO cheap, but that's besides the point) to make exceptions for geeks. He may be in good company in these forums - and those of other nerdy publications - but he's in one tiny, tiny minority since PCs became so commoditised.
He should view the cost of Windows embedded in his laptop purchase as a geek tax instead of trying to stick it to the man by quoting their EULA back at them. And if the paying for it irks him so bad then find out in advance what the policy is before buying (though we all really know that he knew he would have a fight on his hands before he even started, and was relishing the thought!)
Dell and Linux - they were once the good guys...
There was a brief window last year when Dell sold proper laptops in the UK (Inspiron 1525) with Ubuntu pre-installed. I was in the market for a laptop, so snapped one up. And I am quite happy with it.
But then within about three months they stopped selling them. Perhaps too many people were ordering them, and Microsoft put a stop to it? Their Linux offering shrank to one under-spec'ed netbook.
One ray of hope that I see is the Google operating system. Chrome OS doesn't sound like it would suit me, but I would be more than happy to buy a machine what that on it, and wipe it for my own OS install of choice. Yes, I know that Google will one day be regarded as we now regard Microsoft, but buying their operating system right now would not leave as bad a taste in my mouth.
forgot i need a title...sorry, its mr
I don't see the hoo-haa here. If you don't want Windows, put something else on the machine. you can sell the license to an unsuspecting friend for more than the "zero" dollars, pounds or euros you paid Dell to put it on 'your' machine.
Just remember..... 'your laptop/pc will be more expensive if it came without the 'subsidised microshite software pre-installed.
And cheer up dammit! It's weekend!!!
The hoo-haa, here it is.
The hoo-haa is that every time one of us basement dwellers wants a new laptop, we, in effect, pay a portion of its cost to Microsoft. It's called "The Microsoft Tax" Imagine if the situation were reversed.
No, I am not at all certain that I may legally sell my surplus Windows license in that case. Nor would I want to. Pretend for a moment that I object to Microsoft products on ethical grounds.
"Just remember..... 'your laptop/pc will be more expensive if it came without the 'subsidised microshite software pre-installed."
Wat? I've been trolled, haven't I? You aren't really that thick; are you?
Way to go, Dell!
Thank you for providing yet ANOTHER reason to not buy Dell!
So, let me make sure I have this straight: By "free", does this mean Dell does not have to pay Microsoft for each license they install and sell? Or does this mean Dell is very graciously not passing the cost on to their customers?
Have and Eat?
To my mind Mr Drake wants to have his cake and eat it - it's not enough to have (dons fireproof suit) a better operating system installed on his system, he wants to cash as well.
Okay he has a point when he says that Dell are (almost certainly) incorrect when they say the OS was free - however, we don't know exactly how much they pay Microsoft. If Dell were to turn around and say "Here is your 1p refund sir, please don't spend it all at once", how could he prove that he was entitled to more for (dons suit again) that worthless pile of steaming shite. After all you don't buy dog food and tell them that you want a refund for the consequent turds.
Cases of Windows tax refund by Dell
Any claims by Dell reps that previous refunds of Windows tax were a mistake are an outright lie.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_refund for details about other cases and the overview of the Windows tax problem in general.
Hopefully Dell will get the message...
That there are users out there that DON'T WANT WINDOWS. It's being shoved down our throats. How simple is it to sell a computer with NO OPERATING SYSTEM? Clearly Microsoft has their hands on this one, they have worked out a deal with Dell so that Dell is essentially forced to sell PCs with Windows. And the whole story about Windows costing zero is fake. Windows is and has never been FREE. Somebody is paying for it, and you can bet it's not Dell. The cost of the Windows operating system is being passed along to the customer, you can count on that.
The other posters that are questioning the Windows Tax refund need to know that yes Dell DOES offer Ubuntu on selected systems. But... when you compare the machine specs to the same system with Windows, the system with Windows is cheaper. Windows costs money, Ubuntu Linux is free. Do the math, something is wrong here.
Oooh Windows 7 is free
If there's no exchange of consideration then there's no contract. If there's no contract there's no license agreement.
Why Bother?
Dell don't want to offer refunds because they would have to admit how much Windows actually costs. It probably isn't a lot. $10? $20?
When you get a bundled copy of Windows on some hardware it might as well be free because when the hard drive fails you should consider it gone.
Better off just formatting the laptop on arrival and choosing a proper operating system. Either a proper retail copy of Windows or Linux.

Is there a reason no one has posted about the fries at Neptune Oyster? Or, where does one find great fries in Boston?
- sailormouth Apr 23, 2008 09:25 PM
So I finally made it there tonight. Had some nice oysters, really enjoyed the hot lobster roll, but was surprised and impressed most with the French fries! Perfectly cooked, right size, nice flavour, I could have eaten these all night and into tomorrow. They seemed to be made of a different potato than most, and boy did it work for me. I was a little disappointed I didn't see them as a stand alone on the menu.
Where else does everyone go for great fries?
Lots of places have decent friens, but Sel de la Terre, Brasserie Jo and Petit Robert Bistro have have excellent ones and I think they are addictive at the Beehive, although I haven't yet read the posting about why someone would never go back to the Beehive.
River Gods on River Street in Cambridge. Their burger is among the top 3 or 4 in the area, but it's the fries that make this one great. The usual attributes: crisp outside, moist inside, clean potato taste, piping hot of course.
But it's the aoli for dipping that blows them into the burger/fries stratospherre!!
The rest of the menu deserves a separate post. What a great neighborhood place!
re: macadamianut
Indeed. UBurger is quick too.
re: Bob MacAdoo
Third UBurger. Excellent fries.
re: Dea
I was about to post about these too! These fries are AMAZING. Just thinking about them is making me hungry now. My sweetie is not a fry person at all and he started actively stealing fries off my plate as soon as he tried one. I finally ordered him is own side order to keep him from eating all of mine!
I envy your metabolism. I love the fried clams at Neptune Oyster, and usually polish off a fair amount of lemon and tartar sauce as well, condiments I don't often resort to.
It might be time to invite a friend, and add fries into the mix. Or maybe check them out on my own!
Rosemary truffle fries sound delicious. I can't keep a bag of really good rosemary potato chips in the house.
re: chowfamily
Don't envy too much, my belly has a metabolism-envy issue and is deciding on therapy.
Oysters and a side of fries there would be a great option.
re: sailormouth
Be still my heart!
Maybe oysters, fried clams, and a side of fries...
I tried to order the fried oysters without the beef tongue, but was rebuffed. Probably just as well.
Fried food has to be selective for many, so the maximum ratio of deliciousness to calorie and cost in these reports is greatly appreciated!
The best fries I've had in the Boston area are the house cured pommes frites at Temple Bar.
Most other french fries that I've tried are made from fresh, not cured potatoes. Fresh potatoes "are rich in sugars," says Malcolm Gladwell. "If you slice them up and deep-fry them the sugars will caramelize and brown the outside of the fry long before the inside is cooked. To make a crisp French fry, a potato has to be stored at a warm temperature for several weeks in order to convert those sugars to starch."
Not many restaurants take the trouble to cure their potatoes before frying them.
Vlora for the pure quality of the fries, never mind the toppings that it comes with (it don't need no fancy toppings!)
I've also had some mighty fine truffle and cheese fries at Squealing Pig.

Reviews for Northwoods Beef Stew
Sort By :
"This is one of the best and easiest stew recipes I have ever tried, and I have tried a lot! My family of 3 men gave it a thumbs up. That you don't have to prebrown the meat (a tedious step) makes it super easy to prepare! The only substitution I made was tomato bisque instead of tomato soup, thinking it would be a little thicker, which it was, and since I like a more subtle tomato flavor. I also served it over the noodles, which is a nice change, but you could put potatoes in the stew too for added convenience. I'm going to make it again this week."
"This was an absolutely delicious recipe and very full of flavor! I followed the recipe adding 6 cloves minced garlic, a couple more carrots, a can of chopped stewed tomatoes (drained) , a bay leaf, dash Tabasco and I only used 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning because 1 tablespoon sounded like a lot, but the 2 teaspoons worked great, not overpowering in the least. There was nothing "odd" about this recipe at all. I also added in some fresh minced parsley with the mushrooms and served over hot buttered egg noodles. It was just thick enough , perfect! My family gobbled it up ! Very easy too! I love these kind of recipes and will be making this a lot more, thank you! :)"
"The weather is terrible outsaide and due to my husband job demands, I was looking for something that would warm him and simple enough for me to make. I was not disappointed with this recipe. It was easy to make and made the house smell great while it was cooking. Thanks for the recipe."
"My family liked this very much. A little different than beef stew, it didn't last long."
"Made it couple months ago. I left out the mushrooms because I'm not to fond of them. The Beef Stew was still very good to eat. The stew did not last very long in my house. It went very fast. Yes, will make it again."

No, grading should not be abolished. That makes about as much sense as your doctor telling you that you are OK if you have cancer. On the surface, it may feel good but the lack of information hurts much more than it helps.
I think this idea of not having grades comes from the idea that nobody's feelings should ever be hurt. Unfortunately, we live in a fallen world and we are imperfect. Even though I agree with the idea that people should be as civil and polite to each other as possible, the idea of getting rid of grading takes this concept too far.
We need to have constructive feedback on what we've done correctly and incorrectly; otherwise, we don't know how to improve. An excellent example is Thomas Edison. He went through thousands of experiments before he made the light bulb the world-changing success that it is today. Had it not been for Edison's ability to learn and improve from his failures, we might still be using candles to light the darkness.
All great inventors and innovators have learned from their failures. They build on what worked and what did not and improve from there. Bill Gates, Henry Ford and Alexander Graham Bell are just a few examples of folks who've provided life-changing inventions that came to be after much trial and error.
The law of unintended consequences comes into play when you abandon judgment. What happens when every child on a sports team gets a trophy and no score is kept? Unfortunately, we are finding out with young adults who have a tough time coping with the rigors of a competitive marketplace. Of course, maybe the no-grade system is a way of weakening our society from within and relying on a nanny-state government to babysit us.
Look no farther than Western Europe to see how the cradle-to-grave government system has worked. These societies do not reward innovation, creativity and invention with market-driven rewards. Thus, these nations continually have double-digit unemployment, lousy socialized medicine and high taxes. This is what happens when you eliminate competition in favor of everyone receiving artificial equality.
For instance, why should a German citizen go through the rigors and expense of medical school if his or her lot will be about the same as one who sponges off the taxpayer dole? There is no incentive to achieve and grow to one's full potential. The result is a nation of slackers.
Remember that famous saying that so aptly applies here: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Peter Hanson made back-to-back birdies to close out a round of 7-under 65 and take the lead after three rounds at the Masters.
He'll have a final-round pairing with Phil Mickelson, who shot 30 on the back Saturday and finished 8-under par, one shot behind Hanson.
Another shot behind, at 7 under, is 2010 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, who made five birdies in a round of 3-under 69.
Hanson is making only his second appearance at Augusta National while Mickelson is going for his fourth green jacket.
Not surprisingly, Mickelson's play showed how well he knows this course - especially 15, when he took a full swing from behind the green for a flop shot that landed 4 feet away. He made birdie there and shot 6-under 66.

The Patriot Movie Review
The Patriot gives Mel Gibson the opportunity to do something he's never done before: To orate at length about the evils of taxation without representation... oh, okay... and to kill a bunch of damn redcoats!!!
Faced with the death of his wife, The Patriot offers us Gibson the widower pacifist, playing the part of South Carolina colonialist Benjamin Martin, unswayed by arguments that war should be initiated against Britain. When his son Gabriel (Heath Ledger) enlists despite his father's forbiddance, Martin is left at home to raise his other six kids while the war rages around him.
Circumstances arise to take the life of one of the children at the hands of the uber-evil redcoat Colonel Tavington (Jason Isaacs), which awakens the repressed blood lust in the former soldier Martin. Perhaps one of the best battle scenes ever filmed follows, with Martin and two of his kids picking off 20 redcoats in the forest, leaving Martin covered in gore.
The Patriot soon becomes the epic it was intended to be, with grand colonial battles fought by lines of soldiers politely shooting at one another until one side is dead. But Martin (an amalgam of several real Revolutionaries) brings dirty guerilla tactics to the war, and after forming a militia of scrappy mercenaries, soon he's got General Cornwallis (Tom Wilkinson) running scared.
While The Patriot will draw obvious comparisons to Braveheart, it is actually far more reminiscent of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood sprinkled with a bit of The Last of the Mohicans. Martin lives in the woods and attacks the Brits in small groups, absconding with their booty. There's even a holy man (Rene Auberjonois) and a foreigner (Tchéky Karyo, in a great supporting turn as a French sympathizer) who fight alongside the rebels.
This turns out to be a good thing, because God knows we don't need another Braveheart. The Patriot also turns out to be a message movie, filled with issues regarding honor vs. survival, vengeance vs. forgiveness, negotiation vs. war, and glory vs. sacrifice. This isn't just some ordinary war movie. It's deep, with John Williams' score driving the heart-tugging home and Roland Emmerich's direction not getting in the way. And I say all that in a rare moment of non-sarcasm.
Unfortunately, at close to three hours in length, The Patriot has plenty of time to get hokey. The bad guy is drawn as broadly as a Bond villain, and a gaggle of subplots don't add much to the film, just making it unnecessarily longer. The anti-slavery motif is especially hokey and unneeded.
But, as usual, I quibble. The Patriot, against all expectations, is probably the best movie I've seen this summer to date. And where else can a German director and an Australian star put together a movie about the Revolutionary War. Ah, only in America.
Flag wavers.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- A Southwest Florida woman has three extra reasons to smile tonight. The mother of three children in the military says the death of Osama Bin Laden is a landmark in the fight against terror.
"I couldn't believe it. I was like, are they sure?" Cindy Cummins Keller said Monday.
For this military mom, last night's headline hit home.
"Relief. Relief. Even more than celebration, relief," Keller said.
Three of her four children are military, and two of them are active duty. Her son Kyle, a six-year Army vet, just returned home from his second deployment to the Middle East. She says Osama Bin Laden's assassination shows every soldier's hard work has finally paid off.
"He spent the past two years of his life in the sand box, so to speak. He was very excited to find out it all happened," Keller said.
The celebration doesn't stop there. Overseas, troops tuned in to President Obama's big announcement last night, crowding around TV's.
But more than anything, Keller says it serves as a much needed morale boost for a mission ten years in the making.
"The men and women who've been over there and fighting so hard, and working with people people there to build their trust. It lets them know that it has not been in vain," Keller said.
The Keller family also has another son, who's served more than 21 years in the Navy, and a daughter with two decades of service invested in the Air Force.

Local council put blanket 20mph limits on local roads. One road so full of potholes and speed humps, they've finally resurfaced it. They're now in the process of putting new full width humps on the newly resurfaced road. Went down it yesterday, and right in front of a new hump (so new its not as yet been painted) there's an enormous hole where the newly laid tarmac has sunk into old road works.
This one of the major problems. Utitily company's digging up roads and poorly repairing them. Everything is done as cheaply and shoddily as possible, which costs more in the long term with claims and re repairing poorly finished work.

The weather pattern across Acadiana this weekend will be more representative of the time of year as temperatures and humidity slowly edge to more summer-like values.
Look for late night and early morning cloudiness to yield to partly sunny skies during the afternoons this weekend. Highs will gradually creep toward the upper 80s this weekend with more of the same into next week.
Although Lafayette Acadiana has yet to see 90 degree readings it is likely that by mid-next week we will be getting very close.
Rain chances look very slight through mid-next week, in the 10% range. There may be a slightly better chance of a pop-up shower toward the end of next week but overall the pattern looks to stay mostly on the dry side, other than the humidity!
Elsewhere, the weather pattern will be quite active across the Plains States into the Midwest with the daily threat of severe weather likely through early next week.

Report: Brett Favre Asked Jenn Sterger For Masturbation Videoby Free Britney at . Comments
Former New York Jets employee Jenn Sterger, who was allegedly sent photos of Brett Favre's penis (maybe you heard), also got a text from the NFL star.
A text in which he asks her for a video of her masturbating.
That's according to sources connected to NFL's investigation into the star's conduct in 2008. The video request reportedly came months after the pics.
THUMBS UP: I'm a fan. Now how 'bout pleasuring yourself on tape?
It's not clear if Jenn Sterger turned over the masturbation video request to the NFL, which has yet to decide if Favre violated its personal conduct policy.
Even if he violated a cardinal rule by texting his small junk, according to Charles Barkley, it's becoming clear that Brett Favre is a wild, sexual freak.
He admitted hollering at Sterger, as heard on the voicemail leaked online, and while he denies sending any photos of his wang, you have to wonder.
Who the heck knows what specifics are true, but between this and Rex Ryan's foot fetish video, the Jets PR department has a lot on its plate lately.
i say tony romo is better then bret
Bret Favre is one of my last American football hero's, a dying breed as far as I am concerned. I was a HUGE Bret fan, pulled for him in GB and as a fellow NYer was so excited when he joined the Jets. This action on his part is completely disgusting, my views of him our forever changed. As a sexual abuse survivor you can not question why a girl waited to speak, I never told of my attack until 25 years later. I realize that I was physically attacked and Ms Sterger did not have anything physical happen, and it falls under sexual harrasment--- but to question why she waited and verbally attack her actions promotes the silence to continue of sexual abuse.
Yea, this fuckin skank is just like Rachael and Michelle "Skank-bomb" Mcgee. What a WHORE!! Messing up some poor guys reputation for money and fame is just fucked up!!
Get a life and sink your claws in some other rich famous guy, not Farve though!!
i agree with the ladies she is just trying to get something out of a great person and if he did any of what she is saying why wait to come out less she was planning something and she obviously liked iot im sure she didnt like that farve wouldnt leave his wife for such a slutty skank and thats y she came forward with this she needs to learn how to make her own money and not be sooo coniving on getting keep your clothes and leave one of the best quarter backs lone damn skank
look at her she lookS like a money hungry skank! leave favre alone. i mean if she was so offended by the pics then why did she wait two years personally who wouldn't like pics of Favre even if he did send em who would complain. but woman who put there stuff out there like the above pic of her deserve nothing. so stop being a money hungry Skank and everything will be ok leave favre alone
First off...why did she wait two years to bring this out? And I'm sorry but if you don't want guys making comments or suggestions to you...then maybe you shouldn't take pics with your skin and chest almost exposed...pervs are everywhere!!! Duh!!! I bet if his name wasn't tied to a franchise and he wasn't in the NFL...this would of never of been an issue...Dirty girls are everywhere trying to make a quick buck!!!
If Jenn Sterger is just some innocent bystandered then why did Bret Favre have her phone number? I'm just saying, if she wasn't blackmailing Favre then he wouldn't have had her phone number in the first place.

A Pendleton-area man is facing felony charges for a 2011 crash that left another man dead.
A Umatilla County grand jury indicted Brock Adam Mecham, 23, of 40170 Rieth Road, Pendleton, for second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, driving under the influence of intoxicants and reckless driving. The Umatilla County District Attorney's Office will arraign him on the charges Tuesday morning in circuit court at the Umatilla County Court House, Pendleton.
Mecham was the driver of a 1994 Toyota 4Runner when it crashed the morning of Sept. 13 off Highway 11 about five miles north of Pendleton, according to court documents. Oregon State Police reported the SUV was travelling southbound at a high speed on a straight portion of the road when it drifted across the northbound lane, climbed a steep embankment and rolled multiple times in a wheat field, where it came rest on the driver's side.
The crash ejected Mecham and the only passenger, Abel Joseph Trejo, 25, of Pendleton, who died at the scene. Neither men wore seatbelts.
OSP Trooper Lisa Sater investigated the crash. According to her search warrant affidavits, doctors at St. Anthony Hospital, Pendleton, didn't expect Mecham to live. He suffered "numerous broken bones in his chest and pelvic region as well as damaged internal organs." Those injuries, she wrote, were "consistent with the vehicle driver's body striking the steering wheel."
Sater also found Mecham's blood-alcohol level was .18 percent, more than twice the legal limit of .08 percent.
An air ambulance flew Mecham to Oregon Heath & Science University, Portland, where doctors massaged his heart and removed his spleen, according to the documents.
Umatilla County District Attorney Dan Primus said the case took a while to build, in part because Mecham had to recover from his injuries.
"We've been continuing to investigate this case … until we felt we had enough to move forward with the charges," he said.
The East Oregonian wasn't able to reach Mecham for comment. He is not in custody. Primus said Mecham is aware of the charges and the forthcoming arraignment.
Mecham and Trejo were employees of Chippewa Painting of Pendleton, the affidavits show. The two were due at a job site near Tollgate the morning of the crash. Coworkers told Sater the men had left a nearby campground at about midnight Sept. 13. Phone records show Trejo called his girlfriend on Mecham's cellphone:
"She described this call as A.J. pouring his heart out, telling her she was his woman, that he loved her and her daughter, that he loved the baby they were having together and would always be there to take care of them."
The call ended after seven minutes, 47 seconds, when she heard "loud noises, which she said looking back on it sounded like shattering glass, and the line went dead."

There has been much speculation over the possibility of Condoleezza Rice as John McCain's vice president. On Monday, the secretary of state gave her answer: "I don't want to be, don't intend to be, won't be on the ticket." Instead, she plans to return to academia. Because she's an idea person.
New York Times:
While praising Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, Ms. Rice said in an interview, "I don't want to be, don't intend to be, won't be on the ticket."
She said she would return to academic pursuits at Stanford University at the end of the Bush administration.
