- high-pressure behaviour (1) (remove)
- (Na,K) Aluminosilicate Hollandites: Structures, Crystal Chemistry, and High-pressure Behaviour (2007)
- Aluminosilicates with the composition (Na,K)AlSi3O8 and the dense hollandite-type structure, in which all Si and Al are in six-fold coordination, are considered as a possible repository of potassium and sodium in the Earth´s mantle. The aim of this research is to explore the phase relation of the K-Na system at different temperatures and pressures, and to determine the physical-chemical properties and high-pressure behaviour of silicate hollandite-type structures containing K and Na in different concentrations. The (Na,K)AlSi3O8 hollandite solid solution has been synthesised using multi-anvil apparatus in the pressure range between 13 and 26 GPa and temperatures between 1500 and 2200 °C, using (Na0-0.6, K1-0.4)AlSi3O8 glasses, NaAlSi3O8 glass, and Na0.75K0.05Ca0.1AlSi3O8 glass as starting materials. The solubility of Na component into the KAlSi3O8 hollandite end-member increases with increasing pressure and temperature. Homogeneous assemblages with a pure hollandite phase (and maximum 1-2% of stishovite) were synthesized at temperature of 1700 °C and different pressures with up to 50% of NaAlSi3O8 component. No pure NaAlSi3O8 hollandite end-member was succsessfully synthesized. Considering the difference in heat dissipation between the shock events in meteorites and the multi-anvil presses, it appears likely that NaAlSi3O8 hollandite forms as a result of local high pressure and high temperature conditions and really fast quenching under non-equilibrium conditions. All synthesized hollandite samples have tetragonal I4/m symmetry at ambient conditions. The unit-cell volume and lattice parameters of the (Na,K)AlSi3O8 hollandite decreases linearly with increasing Na content. The a cell parameter decreases more rapidly than the c cell parameter, suggesting that changing the cation size in the tunnels of the hollandite structure affects more the a axis than the c axis. Structural refinements of single-crystal data collected for KAlSi3O8 and K0.8Na0.2AlSi3O8 hollandites are consistent with Si and Al disorder among the octahedral sites. The major difference between the KAlSi3O8 hollandite end-member and the K0.8Na0.2AlSi3O8 sample is the presence in the latter of a split site away from the 4th-fold axis. This position, occupied by ~ 75% of the total Na content, is closer to the framework walls and has a very distorted coordination polyhedron with only 5 Na1-O bond distances between 2.4 and 2.6 Angström whereas all other Na1-O bond distances are larger than 3 Angström. The high pressure behaviour of hollandite samples with compositions of KAlSi3O8, K0.8Na0.2AlSi3O8, K0.6Na0.4AlSi3O8, and K0.5Na0.5AlSi3O8 have been studied using diamond anvil cells and different pressure transmitting media, by means of X-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. High temperature behaviour of K0.5Na0.5AlSi3O8 hollandite at high pressures has also been explored by means of X-ray powder diffraction. At high pressures, all tetragonal hollandite samples transform to a monoclinic (hollandite II) structure with space group I2/m. The transition pressure decreases with increasing Na component. Na substitution, thus, stabilizes the monoclinic phase, likely because the framework walls are more distorted than in the tetragonal phase and therefore more apt to accommodate the smaller Na atom. Second order Birch- Murnaghan equations of state were calculated for the tetragonal and monoclinic phases. If only experiments using He as pressure transmitting medium are compared, it appears that Na has little effect on the bulk modulus value of the tetragonal aluminosilicate hollandite, but increases the axial anisotropy. Monoclinic hollandites are more compressible, and are stable up to the highest pressures reached during the experiments, suggesting that they may be possible host minerals for Na and K in transition zone and even down to the Earth´s lower mantle. The lattice strains associated with the tetragonal I4/m to monoclinic I2/m transition have been determined. The phase transition is proper ferroelastic with negligible volume strain. The symmetry breaking strains e1-e2=a-b/a0 and e6=a/a0 x cos gamma are proportional to the order parameter Q associated with the transition and their squared values vary linearly with pressure indicating that the transition is second-order in character. The variation with pressure of the symmetry breaking strains is similar in K0.8Na0.2AlSi3O8 and KAlSi3O8 hollandites, suggesting that Na substitution mainly affects the transition pressure but not the transition mechanism. Results from the high pressure experiments show that the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transition is very sensitive to deviatoric stresses present during the experiments due to the different pressure transmitting media. These results might also give an indication of the possible effects arising from stresses on the mineral transitions in the Earth´s mantle.

We should start a kindle exchange thread here. LOL. Now that so many of us are kindle owners, we could post books we've read and if someone wanted to borrow it we could exchange books.
I like this idea, Sandi!

ps- Melanie, mine is a refurbished classic nook and it works beautifully. I also got my brother one and his is good too, good as new.
pps- Also, there are a TON of free books in the public domain, especially if you like classics. All you have to do is search a little. "Project Gutenberg" is one of the big free book sites and they support both nook & kindle.

I feel the same way....My daughter has a Nook and wants me to get one too so we can share books...I just seem to be dragging my feet...could it possibly be the over 400 "Books" that are on my shelves that I have not read??? I can not resist a garage sale or even the Book Section of WalMart or Target...I am a "Cover" person....the picture draws me and....just put a dog on the front and no decision I buy. I am not a library user...but perhaps I would with a Nook. It would be great for a trip or on Vacation...DD loves the email and Internet use with it. I'm sure I will give in soon...maybet they will be cheaper soon too.
I'm such a "gotta have the book in my hands" geek, Carla - there's just something about holding that book that I can curl up with that makes it good. I considered the Nook or the Kindle - guess I'm just not ready for it yet. Let us know what you decide. They are very interesting and I'd like to borrow someone's and try reading first - just not sure I'd get the same satisfaction from reading a book on something electronic, but that's just me.

Want to know how this works? Read all about it here.
Soaking in whisky, tea and marmalade makes for the juiciest fruit and a rich, but not overpowering, cake. If you use orange juice instead of whisky, the result will still be good.
- Mix the hot tea, whisky and marmalade in a large bowl until the marmalade melts. Stir in all of the dried fruit, peel and cherries, then cover and leave to soak overnight.
- Next day, heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 and grease and double-line a 20cm round, deep cake tin with non-stick baking paper. Using electric beaters, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well after each addition, then fold in the flour and spices, followed by the lemon zest and soaked fruit. Add any liquid that hasn't been absorbed by the fruit, too. Spoon into the prepared tin, level the top, then bake for 1½ hrs. Turn the oven down to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1 and bake for another 1½ hrs or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack in the tin.
- While the cake is still warm, use the skewer to pepper the cake with holes, poking it all the way down. Dissolve the sugar in the tea, add the whisky or orange juice, then spoon over the surface. If you're making the cake ahead of time, feed it with a fresh swig of hot toddy every week, but take care not to make the cake soggy. Can be kept for a month well-wrapped in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If short on time, the cake can be made the same day that you decorate it.

Comments, questions and tips
This cake is delicious and so moist. We live in Hua Hin, Thailand and even in the tropical heat wanted to bake a Christmas Cake this year, much to my husbands delight. Ingredients for the most part were on the supermarket shelves, however a few proved hard to find so had to make some changes.... Couldn't find the traditional mixed fruits so substituted with mixed berries including blueberries, cherries, cranberries and raisins and for the mixed peel I found a wonderful alternative in preserved mixed tropical fruits including mango, papaya and pineapple, I added 60g of chopped almonds as I like the texture. Marzipan was no where to be found so didn't ice it, however it didn't spoil our enjoyment of every mouthful of the cake. My husband has suggested I use this recipe from now on, I've renamed it "Tropical Christmas Cake".
I agree with those who say the cake is too soggy. Other than this, it's a delisious cake, so I would make it again, but STRONGLY advise either halfing the quantity of hot tea or leaving it out completely and sticking to just marmalade and whiskey. My cake is definately cooked, just over moist. I fed my cake about 3-4 times with 1-2tbsp of brandy, but in future, I'd only feed it twice... that's all it needs.
Looks gorgeous anyway, and my mum wants to try and save as much as possible for when my grandparents come to stay in February!!
Just made the cake... I reduced the quantity of hot tea in the soaking process to 120ml, so that there wasn't any left-over liquid after soaking. The cake worked perfectly and doesn't seem too soggy or too dry. It smelled absolutely beautiful when it came out of the oven, and even better after being fed a good glug of booze (I used cognac). Can't wait to ice it and tuck into a slice!
This will be my third year with this one.. made three last year.
some small alterations.. a weee splash more of whisky(well i am scotish)... i do like fruit in my cake so keep the quantities, i do add extra cranberies,, ads that little sparkle of christmas.. the marzipan recipe tops this cake so well. everyone loves this cake, my mum told me i had taken my grandma's crown for crimbo cake. need i say more
What a fantastic fruit cake! This was my first attempt at baking a fruit cake - really easy recipe with great success. I cut the amount of dried fruit down to 500g, and soaked the fruit for 2 days before baking. I only fed the cake once straight after baking and then left if for a month before icing.
When finally eaten it was still moist with a hint of whisky. So in my opinion no need to re-feed, unless you are planning to keep it much longer than a month perhaps.
I can see this becoming a firm favourite!
ive just made this cake for the first time, when i was soaking the fruits it reminded everyone at home of christmas in a bowl. Now I put the cake in at 160 for 1hr 30mins and it was already starting to brown so when I had to cook it for another 1hr 30mins at 140 I started to doubt myself. Was it me or is my oven a bit more powerful than most??
I've made this cake every Christmas since it was first published. It is REALLY moist and yummy and keeps well for several months. Last year I made 8 cakes and sold them for charity and have been inundated with repeat orders for this year. You can use supermarket basic ranges without any compromise to the finished product.

Are the JCs out there opting for the Solid Chimera's Eye (101 stam) or the Fracture Chimera's Eye (67 mastery) for their profession perk?
Seeing as this isn't an exclusive prot warrior or even a Sword'n'Boarder thread...
While the staunch EH advocators will say stack EH, most people I talk to/read stack mastery as shield bearers, to get that unhittability going. I'm gonna skip all that
My questions is for the OTHER half of tanks, basically the CareBears and the BloodyDeathKnights
With DKs, Mastery makes our bloodshield bigger. I've read somewhere in another thread here that that in 4.0.6 they might be allowing us to stack our shields additively rather than replacing, which is good, but until then, should we still stack mastery to leverage a big honking bloodshield?
With Bears, we have Savage Defense, again another big shield, which grows as we stack mastery. Same reasoning as DKs, stack mastery or soemthing else?
Yes, I realize both are completely unaffected by magic damage. I get it, and I don't care. There's plenty of physical damage to go around 90% of the time, and for the other 10%, that's what Cooldowns are for.
It's also important to note that a lot of tank gear has an awful lot of mastery even if you aren't actively gemming for it. Maybe there's enough for bears/DKs on the gear without getting more? I don't know.
I can't wait till I hit level 90 as a bear and get the all powerful CAREBEARSTARE ability!
Are the JCs out there opting for the Solid Chimera's Eye (101 stam) or the Fracture Chimera's Eye (67 mastery) for their profession perk?
If it's a shield-blocker, It's a no-brainer, 67 Mastery. Until we get more mastery from higher Tier gear in future loot, there isn't quite enough mastery on the gear right now to start chasing other stats.
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
Andenthal - that confuses me. A DK bubble isn't as big as a bear's SD proc, but it affects every incoming attack that doesn't miss or isn't dodged/parried.
Wouldn't this be preferable compared to a high uptime on SD, because doesn't the bubble affect all incoming damage, not just physical? I don't have a DK tank so I'm a little unsure about their build, but it seems DK's mastery might be the most desirable from the standpoint of smoothing out incoming damage?
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
Bears inherently have a lot of agi, since they share gear with rogues, and then they have LoP thrown in the mix. There is talk of changing this, but essentially all bears chase crit/mastery gear, but bliz wants to make haste somewhat useful to tanks, bears foremost. But that's not really the question, a bear would never gem crit. Bears gem the following way (mostly)
Blue - Agi/Stam
Yellow - Agi/Dodge
Red - Agi
The question I was wondering was to stack towards mastery instead of Agi. As it stands, I think they have a penalty towards agi->dodge and Agi->Crit so that it doesn't get out of hand, much as rogues could tank back in vanilla/early TBC through agi stacking.
I guess it again boils down to how much agi bears get in their gear in current content, in T12ish there might be enough agi that they could safely choose other stats.
"reducing the damage taken from the next physical attack "
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
Bloodshields come from Deathstrikes, which is part heals, part bubble. That's why the bubble is smaller, because there is a heal component which makes it comparable. And for magic fights, with a 45 second AMS and incoming self-heals, DKs come out doing quite alright.
I knew SD was physical only. It was the bubble component of http://www.wowhead.com/spell=77513 that made me think DK Mastery was more than just physical.
Is it just Bloodshield that is physical only or are all bubbles physical only?
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
A priest or Holy pally bubble will soak magic. A SD Proc or Blood Shield is physical only.
I guess for me it sums up pretty simply... if you are not in danger of being 3 hit to death, stam stacking isn't your friend.
When it comes to Avoidance vs. Mastery, we are making a huge deal out of what works out to be a few % points (which in hindsight is not that unusual for these debates).
No matter what situation you are speaking to, there are always exceptions to every rule.
Now my question: are there any definitive logs comparing to tanks with roughly equivalent gear, one say stacking mastery and one say stacking parry? Is there any real math to determine in this situation which tank tanks less damage over the course of a series of repeated fights? Is the difference significant?
From the healing argument... when it comes to tank healing, we aren't talking about the difference between using Flash Heal and Greater Heal, we are talking about whether we are using Heal or Greater Heal. While Heal is certainly more efficient, it isn't dramatically so and frankly, even in an optimal situation the HPM of Heal won't be sufficient to do the bulk of your tank healing on a raid boss. The argument that "smoothing out the damage" is important absent a 3 hit kill scenario is not one I subscribe to. You choose Flash Heal or Heal on DPS, not on tanks.
So really, the question is, (once again absent a 3 hit kill scenario) does stacking Mastery or Avoidance end up with less damage on the table by the end of the fight? The followup being, is that number statistically significant?
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
For shield bearers, avoidance > Mastery for physical attacks up until you hit DR of parry and dodge. Then it reverse mastery >> avoidance, as mastery suffers no DR (yet).
I can't say what's the deal with bears/DKs.
First, to answer your question, it will likely be hard to find a progression tank stacking any sort of Avoidance. They may be out there, but they are very few and far between.
Second, as above, it's more the difference between a healer needing to use Flash Heal instead of Heal. That's about what the difference in gearing strategies would equate to. It may be a few percetage points one way or the other for total damage taken for the entire fight. But there's a huge difference in healer mana spent if one tank needs constant Flash Heals, while the other can be healed with only the slower heals, plus HoTs (or whatever you guys are using now-a-days).
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
I would simply reaffirm my position that it is very much NOT a question of Flash Heal vs. Heal. Absent a 3 hit death scenario, there is almost no circumstance in which you would be making that choice. Trying to frame an argument on that basis I think would lead to false conclusions.
When a tank has 180k hp, and is taking less than 60k hits, or hell even if he is, you are going to unload Greater Heal into him as fast as you can, you certainly aren't going to try and heal him with Flash Heal. The only time you are going to reach for Flash Heal is if you somehow let him get down to a point where you need 15 to 20k in the next SECOND or he dies. If you find yourself in that position you have much larger problems than a 5% difference in Avoidance vs. Mastery. Flash Heal vs. Heal is for DPS healing, not for tank healing.
So if no progression tanks are trading the 5% Mastery for the equivalent gains in Avoidance, how do we accurately know which is actually better? We have a lot of the best minds in tanking making arguments one way or the other with regards to this and not ONE has made a compelling case one way or the other. The primary argument is the "smoothing damage" argument which, for me at least, is a false choice. It argues based on a scenario that I don't believe exists.
Now I have no experience with hard modes, and possibly they are exactly that, 3 hit kill scenarios but once again, I point to my earlier qualification, everything I am saying is valid only absent a 3 hit kill.
As a tank, it's not my goal to take as little damage as possible over the length of the fight. Tank damage over the course of an entire fight is not directly related chances of beating the encounter, nor directly tied to healer mana spent.
It's my job as a tank to be as easy to heal as possible. That is - to make damage intake as predictable as possible so that healers can plan their next heal (proactive) instead of reactively healing me. This saves mana in real scenarios.
Progression tanks aren't trading Mastery for Avoidance because it doesn't work as well. It was tried on beta servers, and proven inferior. If you're looking for your compelling case, dig through the beta forums where the testing was first done. It's pointless to redo the testing and math. The result is; much more healer mana is spent in shorter time frames keeping tanks alive.
When healer mana matters, smoothing out damage intake is the best way to do this. I'm sorry you don't believe in the scenario. With some normal mode fights having bursts in the 6 digit range (125k+), it will happen - even before you hit hard modes. If you're asking/looking for theory behind taking less damage, that's another discussion, as the two are not the same thing.
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
Certainly wasn't asking for a redo of the testing, merely if the testing had been done. If it has then that is the answer in and of itself.
I haven't encountered a "regular" three hit scenario yet even on hardmodes, maybe Cho'gall will do me this favor?
I may have jumped into this conv a lil late. Just my 2 cents. I'm a warrior and my off tank is usually a paly. The off tank has an average ilvl of 353 to my 349 I've gemmed for dodge/stam dodge/mastery parry/stam to average a dodge/parry of 31% and 39% block and unbuffed hp of 139k. My off take gemmed for straight stam and sits at around 159khp unsure of his avoidance.. healers say its 100% easier to keep me up cause the dmg I take is smooth and the paly gets hit for huge chunks.

Schoharie may have been spared from Hurricane Sandy's wrath, but that doesn't mean the community isn't doing what it can to help those that weren't as lucky, pick up the pieces. As YNN's Maria Valvanis explains, Scho-Wright Ambulance Services sent one of their rigs to Long Island to help with the recovery.
SCHOHARIE, NY. -- Member Cappy Santos said, "It's very rewarding. I don't know how to say it without crying, but it's a very rewarding experience to do this for somebody."
Scho-Wright members say goodbye to the rig that served thousands of calls throughout the county. It heads off for Long Island, as a gift to Bellmore-Merrick Emergency Services.
"They were seriously damaged in Sandy's wake and are in desperate need of a replacement rig. They had three and are down to one and that was compromised to some extent," said President Bob Price.
And these guys know more than anyone how much of a difference donations can make since they lived through it last year with Irene.
"Last year when we got hit from the flood, many fire stations and ambulance services came out and helped us and now we're going to do it in turn for somebody else," said Santos.
A new ambulance would cost the company around $150,000. Scho-Wright had been planning to sell the ambulance to offset costs of a new one they bought earlier this year.But after seeing the devastation down south, members knew it was time to return the favor.
"Our members voted unanimously to make this donation," said Price.
Member Ginny Bevins said, "That was a very proud moment for Scho-Wright. There was no arguments. Everyone was in complete compliance, they just said let's do it."
The ambulance will arrive on the Island Tuesday evening.

actually i specced for impale and 3 points in cruelty.
I have 4/5 shield specialization, 0 points in puncture and 0 points in demo shout.
at 80 i will be:

I believe it's not a low mitigation spec. In case i have some problems with the -1% block chance i will turn down cruelty to 2% instead of 3%, or just drop vigilance, or 1 point in focused rage.
for the dual spec.. i will get my hands on some sexy 1h and build an equip with good hit\ap\crit and get a fury 1h spec. Or maybe turning to my old love, 2h fury, no titan's lol though.

i'd love to see boss mods and encounter guides (sorry!) go away, and therefore also LFR and the dungeon journal. this would help with bringing back that feel you're talking about. dont think its likely though
I blame the Gnomes for reverse engineering the game mechanics and mathing it all out.
Today's boss encounters are just too complex for most guilds to kill without guides. Half the guilds would probably stop raiding.
Besides, there is always some thinking to do when raiding. Tactics change, depending on raid composition, sometimes you need to improvise, maybe your dps/healing isn't as strong as assumed, and you need to adapt to that etc.
During ICC when my guild was stuck at Sindragosa, i came up with a healer rotation all by myself and then we killed her. It was awesome.
I don't think it's that big of a problem anyway. As Lore said, people are still having fun raiding.
Ehm, just look at arcane mage discussions atm, nobody really knows what is best for the spec atm, and sims are broken for it, so ye.. People are just going with what they think is the best, rather than knowing what actually is the definite best rotation and stat distribution for it :), which sort of is exactly what you described xD.
You heard it from Lore, the problem with WoW is other players. ;)
To expand on the idea of PvP cycles, why couldn't a PvE boss have a CC ability, a massive damage ability that can be interrupted, and a massive damage ability that can be mitigated. The boss uses all three of them in each fight but one is used much more often than the others on a rotating basis. (This week he uses 10 CCs, 3 Interruptible Damage, and 3 Mitgatable Damage, next week maybe he uses 7,3,6 and the next week he uses 1,1,14.) The transition between "high and low tide" would be gradual. So the raid would need to adapt by bringing a different mix of abilities as the boss waxes and wanes.
The same could be done with boss weaknesses. Maybe at given points in the fight he's weak to ice, or fire, or ranged, or melee. And which he is weak to changes slowly over the course of weeks. The week that he is most weak to ice would be the week that Frost Mages actually have a shot at a raid slot.
To extend that further why not go to player abilites? Frost, Fire, and Arcane could slowly fluctuate in DPS over time. (This week Arcane is hot, hot, hot! Bust out the Arcane!)
People would probably hate it though.
My personal preference would be to get rid of the floating numbers all together. Nobody knows exactly what a class/spec's DPS is. There would be some NPC chosen in the world to be the universal metric and a spec's DPS would be ranked by how fast they could drop that NPC. That's how we did it in EQ, with the Ice Giants in Permafrost.
This was an excellent episode. Great job, and a fine addition to the tankspot community.
*in LFR as Arms in blues; still tops the meters*
It saddens me that warlocks/hunters know which spec is best dps, but not how to turn Growl/Threatening Presence off.
Perhaps when they finally have to do the great stat squish they could just hide all the numbers from the players and give us emoticons to rate our performance :cool: instead.
Without numbers you can't tell if you're improving.
People who don't want to see numbers are probably people who are terrible and don't want other people to know.
If you can't make clear improvements the game will have to be dumbed down to deal with that fact...meaning we'll STILL be "too smart" for it...except instead of it actually being "too smart" it'll be the game being "too dumb".
Believe it or not - I actually never read any theorycrafting for my main. I have learned both protection AND retribution pretty much on my own, with very small adjustments for gemming or so from reading up online. And I play WoW at a pretty competitive level, my guild (which I am leading) is currently at around 100-150 in the world.
My point is - for stuff other than reforging/gemming which you really cannot test on our own unless you try each build 100 times, the rest you can learn by yourself.
Great Episode looking forward to seeing the guides again. I have raided with guilds who specifically ask you not to look at the guides so that they have the chance to work out what to do for themselves. I prefer to watch and read guides myself. However I was in one raiding guild that was really fun that had a no guide policy but an agreed limit of wipes for example we wiped for five weeks on Lady Vash and then agreed as a group it was guide time.I'm in a pvp guild now mainly because my old raid team decided not to raid. The boys kindly tolerated me leaving and trying to raid with other guilds but something was missing from my raiding experience i.e my favourite players. So there was nothing left for it but to learn to pvp. I have found that the much more reactive game play has improved my general playing. The unpredictability of the other players is awesome fun. It's a great way of bonding and communicating with your team, to try different talents and hone your skills. I think arena is really exciting and spectator worthy.I still enjoy Warcraft it's still fun and I still have to use my university brain to figure stuff out occasionally. I play arena and battlegrounds with my guild and also my sons and their girl friends and my guildies who are a bit like an extended family.
Its information that has changed the game.
Most people will look for a better spec.
Brawlers guild is mentioned as an example, but the only reason why there is little theorycrafting on brawlers guild is because the progression oriented players doesn't really care alot about it. Sure, many have fun with it, but if they succeed they don't gain anything that makes their char stronger. If we got raid quality loot from it, people would sit down and map out what the most efficient way to kill those bosses are for a given class/spec.
The same applies to challenge modes. There's very little theorycrafting done when it comes to challenge modes because the reward doesn't advance your character.
For pve, unless you're saying that blizzard should make content that ultimately only a few care about, the only other solution for blizzard is to "Get better!" (at balancing out talents/classes/specs).
They are starting to figure it out............
Anyone talking about the fat nerd in the basement with no girlfriend or playing MMO/Videogames due to lack of life skills doesn't know what they are talking about. There is a lot of cool stuff in there.........sidebars too.
Gold seller alert again. Google is piping in guyforgame again.......
I think the "magical" era of this type of game has gone by. Saw on a Monty's Minute Gary said that at one time it was something to just see another person that was playing a toon and I can really relate to that. I can relate with exploring a new land or dungeon falling in the same boat for me. Once it was simply amazing to see new things, like new raids, but now it is just hallways that leads to a boss that might or might not surprise me. I don't think it was the game so much that changed, but like Lore said I think most people are simply smarter and more adapted to MMO's now. It boils down to this, in my opinion, you either now really like MMO games or you simply were in love with the lustful magic of the genre when it was new and fresh but now are looking for a lawyer for a divorce now that you realize she don't cook so good.
First person shooters were a lot like that for me. When the first ones came out I was floored and loved them. Then eventually it was the same old same old game with a new graphics engine and hallways to walk though. But like first person shooters they have gone though a little revolution by combining them into MMO's which has kind of rekindled the magic for them IMO. I think eventually the bar based MMO will go though this same revolution again, and what it will be I am not sure, but eventually it will materialize.
I just happen to really like bar based MMO's so WoW really hasn't lost its magic for me. But I am certainly "used" to it for sure.
I think what the problem comes down to is that the DPS difference between specs are trivial. They shouldn't matter, but they do because MMOs have taught us that tiny incremental improvements in numbers are what the game is all about.
I'm actually pretty damn good at MMOs in general, including WoW. As an example, when I played EQ, I used to solo content that would kill you in a single round, if you let the mob hit you. For those who played EQ, there was an end game zone that was a perquisite for raiding in the Gates of Discord expansion. This zone called Tipt had 4 mobs in the entrance that would kill my Iksar Necromancer in a single round. (They hit 4 times per round and 1 hit would take off 60% of my health. So on occasion if they missed 3 out of 4 hits then I would live, a single round. But usually they hit 3 out of 4.) Just getting to this zone was an ordeal. But I would solo those 4 mobs by snaring them and DoTing them and then kiting those 4 red-con mobs around the cramped entrance for 10 to 15 minutes before they would start to drop. If they would resist a snare, maybe I would have time to reapply it before they ate my face, maybe not. If I died then I would have to run back across 6 zones filled with mobs that could kill my naked self if they just looked at me wrong. Not to mention that you lost a chunk of EXP every time you died. Kiting a single mob in EQ is for more difficult than anything I ever did in WoW, and kiting 4 of them made me one of the best Necros in the game. (And if you've never raided in the later WoW expansions, then you can't even try to compare the raid difficulty. In WoW there is amazement if a world first guild hasn't beaten the hardest bosses in the tier within a month. In EQ there were raids that weren't beaten before the next expansion came out.)
So, when I say that I'm good at WoW, I mean that I have plenty enough skill to play the game, but the mentality that I encountered when playing WoW, was that because I had not spent 80 hours grinding out gear that I was a bad player. No amount of skill in WoW will compensate for a lack of time spent grinding gear. So, when people say that some folks are bad at WoW, half the time they're talking about someone's 9 year old brother or 50 year old mom playing the game with no idea what they are doing, and half the time they are just talking about someone with a lack of sufficient time to sink into the gear quest.
I have very little sympathy for people who complain about a 5% difference in DPS between specs. It's ridiculous to obsess over something so small, and the fact that you can top the meters for your spec is really not that impressive to me. WoW isn't hard. WoW raiding isn't hard. Dealing with over entitled WoW players is hard.
Every so often I think, maybe I should get back into WoW and do some raiding. Maybe that would be a challenge, then I remember that the only challenge is dealing with the other players and then I remember I have better things to spend my money and time on.

All framework code is covered by the [PHP Coding Standard (draft, ZF 0.2 RC1)]. Learn it, love it, live it.
Please "watch" the page above using the "envelope" icon on the top-right side of the page. Confluence (the wiki system we use) has a robust e-mail notification system, accessed through "Preferences" after logging in. From there, click on the "Watches" folder tab, and see the link to "E-mail preferences".
Learn best practices
Common sense
API changes should be committed in parallel with updated documentation.
Factory methods, classes, and patterns
For the following, we define "factory" as a class or method that creates instance objects of one or more classes other than the class of the factory.
Direct instantiation is the preferred choice, and factory classes should be avoided if at all possible. Only when sufficient need exists should they be considered. Sometimes the code in a factory method could be moved to a common, shared superclass.
Container API guidelines
For the time being, we have decided to avoid trying to micromanage implementation details of framework components with containers to suit potential points of reuse throughout the framework. Zend_Session, for example, must wrap a nested PHP array ($_SESSION), not the recursive data structure found in Zend_Config. In a few months, we can revisit this issue and discuss whether implementations of existing components with container data structures should be refactored.
However, we would like to propose API conventions to help maintain consistency in style for accessing and manipulating container objects, without requiring complicated refactoring of container interfaces, classes, and implementations across diverse components.
When getting and setting data in a random-access container using keys, we suggest the following required, basic operations:
- __get()
- __set()
- __isset()
- __unset()
When appropriate, containers should also implement the standard PHP Countable and Iterator interfaces, if only to facilitate debugging by those using the container class.
If the keys used for getting and setting use characters not permitted in PHP identifiers, then use methods named get(), set(), isset(), and unset() instead of the magic methods. Due to the international flavor of Zend Framework, please carefully consider whether those speaking other languages will need to use get($propName) and set($propName, $value). Using consistently-named methods for the same purpose across multiple classes increases readability and ease of use. Mixing the $object->propName and $object->get('propName') styles, on the other hand, can lead to confusion. Pick one and be consistent.
Only implement ArrayAccess and __call() if they are relevant and do not overlap in functionality with the other accessors.
|Please note
This section discusses accessing items in a container data structure, not other properties of the object wrapping the container. Accessor methods for these other properties might have different requirements. Defined extension points should be represented by normal functions to access the properties they encapsulate.
Join a project team
Zend Framework development is done on the basis of large teams working together on related components. It is our experience that having these discussions in bigger groups (which previously were held most directly with Zend) fosters an environment where ideas and proposals are more mature, and also where less work needs to be done afterward due to a significantly shortened peer review process.
Project team wiki pages
- Team members (add yourself if your name is missing)
- Team's components
- Who is working on which components, including coordinators

Project team responsibilities
Each project team is responsible for producing status updates in the form of newsletters.
- Zend project team members help and work with community members on each team
- Newsletters are to be mailed to fw-general and the team-specific mailing list
- Updates are to be published every two weeks to the wiki

We need each team to study the other team's wiki pages and borrow ideas to improve their wiki team page. The pages don't need to be identical, and some things will work better for different teams. Don't be afraid to improve something someone else edited. Be creative!
Also, coordinators and everyone else should help identify tasks to list under "Help Wanted" sections. We are an open community, and each project team should be receptive and open to finding areas for community members to help.

Benefit Enquiries
- Your Benefit Decision Notice
You may have been sent a benefit decision notice recently to tell you how much Housing Benefit you are entitled to.
We know that this letter contains a lot of information and so to help you understand it we have produced a leaflet called "How to understand your benefit decision notice" which you will find at the bottom of this page.
For help with your Council Tax Support letter please refer to our dedicated page
- Universal Credit
Universal Credit forms part of the Welfare Reform Act 2012. It is intended that this will simplify the benefits system by bringing everything together into a single streamlined payment.
It aims to:
- Simplify the system, making it easier for people to understand
- easier and cheaper for staff to administer
- improve work incentives
- make the move from into and out of work smoother
- reduce in-work poverty
- cut back on fraud and error.
The first applications to Universal Credit will be made in October 2013, and people already receiving benefit will be automatically transferred to Universal Credit between October 2013 and 2017. New claims to Housing Benefit are due to end in October 2014.
The Money Advice Service have produced a video to help you get ready for Universal Credit.
You can also visit Gov.UK for more information.

If your tenant is receiving housing benefit payments direct and falls in arrears, please report it to us straight away. We will then usually send any further housing benefit payments directly to you or the agent.
If we do not feel that you should receive these payments direct, we can refuse to make them or withhold benefits while an investigation takes place. To recover the arrears you would have to pursue the tenant. This may involve taking enforcement action against them.
If you are considering taking enforcement action against your tenant, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

My Escape Pulsates when at full stop
douglaspjacobs Posts: 1
edited March 15 in Ford
I have a 2005 Ford Escape that's been experiencing surging for 2 years. Most of the time this happened when I was accelerating and then had to come to a relatively quick stop. I've been to three dealerships been told it's the ethanol in the gas, had the main computer reprogramed, had the pcv "valve," and the erg valve replaced, and spent $300 and some odd dollars for fuel line "decarbonization." Most recently the dealership attached what they called a "flight data recorder." I drove around for 6 weeks with that in my car and pushed the recording button multiple times but according to the tech nothing was recorded "outside the normal parameters.
Can anyone give Ford Customer service some ideas about what to do to fix my car, or is the problem so embedded that I need to start discussing financial compensation? How much is my aggravation worth?
It's a 6 cylinder. Aggravation, nothing. My "Ford Family" Customer Relationship Center says my car is fine and is operating within "normal parameters." But because they are so nice, they are offering me something called an "X package." They have given me a pin number, good for a year mind you, but to find out the monetary value I need to go to a Ford dealership sales department and pick out a new car to purchase.
I know that no manufacturer's production is defect free so I've tried to work with Ford and gone back over and over again, but this last "offer" is an insult. Who dreamed up this customer service strategy. Like I'd even be willing to buy another Ford product again. Looks like I'll be doing some serious corresponding with Mr. Mulally.

text: 5 Awesome, as expectedjamierowson | 22/11/2011 | See all jamierowson's reviews (3)Wasn't sure about this for the first couple of hours but as with most Zelda games it soon picks up. Only after completing a couple of dungeons did I realise how well thought out the new items are, the beetle especially is pretty awesome. The game play is similar to Twilight Princess except the roll which you would use by pressing A on the Wiimote. Now you have to shake the nun chuck but if you'd played Twilight Princess to death as I did you may be so stuck in your ways that you find learning how to do the exact same thing a completely new way is hard to learn.The dungeons seem to have fewer rooms but the elaborate puzzles are no disappointment at all and as expected take a lot of thinking about.I'm bound to review positively as a huge Zelda fan but the game really is very good I only wish it had the darkness of TPAll in all, great game, lovin' it!!

David Craven
Canadian, b. 1946
acrylic on canvas
198.9 x 198.9 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with the Woods-Harris Trust Fund No. 1
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
Typical of David Craven's arabesque paintings from the mid-1970s, N.Y. Dakota is composed of repeating geometric and organic patterns, derived from Islamic decorative forms often found on the walls of mosques. An arabesque is an infinite pattern that extends beyond the visible material world and connotes a metaphysical realm. Also at play in this canvas is the act of painting itself. Concentrating on the movement of the paint, this work documents the artist's gestures as he pushed and pulled paint across the canvas with a scraper. Lines move from the centre of each work out to the edges, an effect that implies a flow of action into the viewer's space. The preferential use of a restricted black and white palette is a means of uniting the acts of drawing and painting.

Adapted Sports & Rec
From sailing to cycling and golf to gardening, the HHH Adapted Sports & Recreation Program is a four-season initiative serving individuals with a range of abilities, interests and skills. Leisure opportunities are an important component of an active and healthy lifestyle, fostering rehabilitation, recovery and camaraderie, and the Adapted Sports & Rec Program is dedicated to offering a range of recreational and competitive events.
The program reaches out to current and former patients, as well as individuals living in the community who may be interested in trying out a new activity or resuming a sport or activity they may have enjoyed prior to acquiring a disability. Prior experience is not required to participate in any activity .
All activities are supervised by experienced staff, including recreational and physical therapists, taking into account individual needs and abilities. Adaptive equipment is available and used as necessary for all activities.
One element that has contributed to the program's success is the partnerships it has with numerous sports-related organizations. The hospital's clinical expertise in working with individuals with disabilities, combined with the organization's expertise in a particular sport, creates a unique blend of knowledge and skill.
The Program is open to individuals with all types of disabilities, including spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, cardiac conditions, orthopedic and neurological disorders. Pre-registration is required for all programs and events.
During any sponsored event, any adaptive equipment that is needed will be supplied. Participants are also welcome to bring their own equipment. The hospital also offers an adaptive equipment loaner program and will provide assistance in helping individuals obtain funding for their own personal equipment.
For additional information, please contact Matthew Castelluccio, Adapted Sports Coordinator at 845-786-4950 OR email@example.com
Helen Hayes Hospital is certified as a chapter of Disabled Sports USAA

The Adapted Sports & Rec Program activities include the following:
Gardening: in cooperation with the Master Gardeners of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rockland County. Discussion and demonstration on how to incorporate the use of adapted tools and techniques to make gardening possible and enjoyable despite any physical limitations. Gardening from a seated position, getting up off the ground, the availability of adapted devices and how to make accommodations for loss of strength or dexterity are all covered, along with how to amend soil, select, plant and maintain plants.
Basketball: in conjunction with the Newburgh YMCA. We meet monthly at the Newburgh Armory gym. Experienced players help coach novices and all participate in a scrimmage game following the drills. $10 fee per session.
Fishing: in conjunction with Bear Hill, Inc. We go to local lakes for accessible fishing. One session is held in June at Bear Mountain Hessian Lake on Free Fishing Day. A fishing license is required for all other sessions.
Golf: GolfAbility is an instructional program to teach the basics of golf, and promote golf as a rewarding leisure activity, to individuals with disabilities and mobility impairments. Prevents golfers from giving up the game due to injuries, orthopedic impairments, cardiopulmonary disease, stroke and other age related conditions. Workshops with an LPGA pro and outings are scheduled from May through September. Workshops take place at the GolfAbility center, which is located on the hospital campus. The center consists of a 1300 square foot synthetic putting green with six cups and three accessible netted tee areas. Participants learn how to use appropriate adaptive golf equipment, including single-rider carts. A single-rider cart is a specially equipped golf cart that allows a disabled golfer to play seated or standing, directly from the cart, and can be driven right on to the green. Participants must complete a GolfAbility application form in advance.
Handcycling: Hand cycling is an excellent aerobic exercise providing a cardiovascular workout similar to a treadmill or bicycle. It improves endurance and strength while also expanding exercise options for individuals with disabilities. A hand cycle is similar to a bicycle, with the user using his or her arms to propel the cycle instead of the legs. The Hospital is home to "Helen's Angels," a competitive hand cycling team.
Kayaking: an excellent water sport for all abilities. The Hospital provides the kayaks, specialized seating and any other needed adapted equipment. Instruction is provided in basic kayaking skills. The group meets at a local lake, on the shores of the Hudson River, or other accessible location.
Rowing: in conjunction with River Rowing Association of Nyack. Participants receive an introduction to rowing, a sport which builds endurance and strength. Boats and adaptive equipment provided. Rowing is an intense, thoroughly demanding physical activity and competitive sport. Despite this, it is also a very low-impact sport that is suitable for athletes of all ages and abilities, from the young to the old.
Sailing: in conjunction with the Nyack Boat Club. The program offers individuals with physical disabilities the opportunity to learn to sail using adaptive equipment, including specially adapted sonar boats. Experienced sailors from the Club's Sonar Fleet 23, along with therapists from the hospital, provide an introductory skills workshop and an afternoon of sailing on the Hudson River. The day begins with an informal luncheon and panel discussion on adaptive sailing. Assistance is provided, as needed, for boarding, and one of the Club's experienced sailors is on each boat, offering instruction and guidance on how to sail.
Snow Skiing: in conjunction with Belleayre Mountain in Highmount, New York. Instructors specializing in adaptive skiing offer beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons. First time students receive an overview of the equipment and fittings prior to getting out on the snow. Adaptive equipment is available for skiers with disabilities. Participants should come attired in appropriate winter/snow clothing.
Softball: in conjunction with the United Spinal Softball Team. A comprehensive lesson on how adapted softball is played. Team members bring adapted equipment and participants play a full game. Individuals of all physical abilities, including players using wheelchairs, are welcome to come and play or cheer the players on as a spectator.
Therapeutic Horseback Riding: in conjunction with Winslow Therapeutic Riding. We offer four-week sessions. There are many research articles validating the positive results of hippotherapy in improving trunk strength, balance, cognitive skills of memory and attention while also reducing tone and spasticity. The success of the rider further improves self-esteem and confidence.
Waterskiing: in conjunction with Leaps of Faith Water Ski Club. Open to novice and experienced water skiers. Adapted equipment provided along with instruction and a day out on the water.
Yoga: a basic Adapted Yoga program designed specifically for people of varying abilities. Yoga improves circulation, range of motion, flexibility and endurance. It also helps to reduce stress and lower blood pressure.
The instructor is experienced in adapting yoga to all levels of abilities. The classes offer an excellent opportunity for people with disabilities, including individuals with stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other physically limiting conditions, to try yoga. Classes meet at the hospital.
