Art Deco Carved Coral Earrings
For eons the Italians have had a reputation of being able to carve anything ranging from the hardest marble to the softest tufa. Adding weight to this contention is this pair of circa 1925 coral pendant drop earrings.
Pale marbleized salmon coral with small splashes of white have been meticulously carved into a teardrop element ornamented with a series of exquisite five petal flowerheads within a banded plaque. Even the bottom of the drop has a superbly chiseled flower design. Topped with a cap of outstanding gold work, the drop is suspended by a delicate gold link chain attached to a three-dimensional carved coral flowerhead surmount set with an 18k yellow gold collet with twisted wire perimeter. Incomparable…
Measurements: 2 inches (5.1 cm) in length by 3/8 of an inch (1.1 cm) at the widest. Weight of 8.7 grams (5.6 dwt) for the pair including ear nuts.
Condition: Excellent; ear posts are modern and replaced from screw back type fittings.
Date & Origin: Circa 1925 and is m most likely Italian in origin.

Friday Discussion: Spousal Attitudes Towards Gaming
She's not a tabletop gamer, but she puts up with more of my nonsense and gamer talk than she probably should. She's been supportive and flexible in me running my biweekly campaign, even if it isn't something she herself enjoys.
With that in mind, today's Friday Discussion is all about the spouses (or partners, girlfriends, or significant others, take your pick):
What Is Your Spouse's Attitude Towards Gaming? Tolerance? Enjoyment? Thinly Veiled Disgust? A Sort of Resigned Support?
Have a great weekend!

My wife tolerates my gaming behaviour and expenses, but sometimes she tries to put on a fight and make me choose: "Your games or me?". But all in all she doesn`t give much trouble and even, somtimes, when we are in a larger group she indulges in some party and boardgames. Once, because her nephew asked, she played "Last Night on Earth" with us, and to my surprise, enjoyed it.

When I met my (much) better half she was already a "chemical geek" with a degree in Chemical Engineering and well on her way to getting a degree in Bio-Med. Which sort of sold me on her...the whole sexy-intelligent thing. But when she showed me her collection of Spawn figures...I was in love. :-)
I am lucky enough to have a partner who does not care about my war-gaming, my D&D, or even my whiskey collection...basically I found a keeper, who will even stop to buy me more plaster when I run short while making the latest Hirst Arts building :-)

My lady and I have something of an ideological divide between us. She's a hardcore Eurogamer with a mad-on for strategy and optimization who's not at all interested in role-playing games, where I love RPGs best and highly thematic board games with sloppy, amusing rules second.
So we have an arrangement of benign non-comment on the other's tastes.

RPG's? Cross between tolerance and thinly veiled confusion.
Euroboardgames? Giant enabler and participant
Video Games? Resigned support given my past work in the field

Actually I'm a converted gamer, thanks to my husband. At first I couldn't get into RPGs--too many little rules and fiddly bits to track, and I often felt out of my element since everyone we played with was so familiar with the rules.
Then 4th Edition DnD came out, and I had the opportunity to learn the rules from the ground up along with everyone else. Turns out I love RPGs, I just needed to play with people on the same level as me.
But for that period when I wouldn't play, I guess bored tolerance would have described me best.

My wife is a gamer, be it board games, computer games or tabletop rpgs. When we were first dating, she hadn't played any tabletop rpgs before and her board game experience was limited to games such as Scrabble, Monopoly, etc. Now, she plays many different board games and has been an avid roleplayer for many years! Sure, she has her preferences in games and styles, who doesn't? I couldn't ask for a more supportive partner though!

My wife has, on occasion, attempted to get into RPGs since I play them but they just don't hold her attention for anymore than about 10 minutes unless she plays a homocidal catgirl in which she's good for maybe 15-20.
Other than that, I draw a TON of wife aggro for gaming away from the house. She doesn't mind my gaming on MapTool or over Skype at all but if I leave the house for four hours once a week to go game, I might as well start sleeping on the couch. Admittedly I think I could probably do just about anything - even go to church - for four hours once a week without her and I'd probably get the same reponse.

I convinced my girlfriend to try D&D with us once; she hated it. But, eh, at least she tried it. She still raids on WoW, and even paints mini's from time to time. So she's a little dorkasaurus too. But I always tell her, "life should be more fun."
- March 12, 2010 at 8:48 AM

Just to be clear, my wife was a gamer before we married, and we've been married for 25 years come May.

- PatrickWR said...
Tolerance. The constant refrain is "How can you guys do that for six straight hours??"
But, she plays Carcassone and Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan, so it all evens out.

- Chgowiz said...
Enjoyment - she's the other half of the solo OD&D game. :) She loves to play, but she doesn't look forward to playing in groups. She'd make a GREAT caller. LOL.
- March 12, 2010 at 10:52 AM
- Jon McNally said...
My wife has appreciation for the hobby, but little personal interest. Her preferred form of improvisation involves musical instruments, not character sheets.
Still, she picks up the dice now and then; her cleric, Holy Horatio, was a highlight of a recent run through Chgowiz's Swords & Wizardry Quick Start module.

My wife said she'd leave me if I played D&D, but didn't seem to mind the Savage Worlds, Call of Cthulhu, Rogue Trader, Fighting Fantasy, and Runequest books in the house. I suspect that there was some BADD-type fear in there somewhere.
- March 12, 2010 at 1:00 PM
- Yong Kyosunim said...
My wife doesn't game and is not supportive of my hobby; however doesn't do anything to hinder me other than letting me know of her dissatisfaction of me being with the "other woman".
Anyways, I would prefer it this way. I get to do things I want and have time alone and she gets to do things she wants.

- Rognar said...
My wife is cool with it. She tried it, didn't care for it, but she doesn't mind if I spend a couple of evenings a month with my nerdy friends. At least she knows where I am and who I'm with.

My girl is the person who got me into gaming in the first place. Our styles, however, are subtly different. You see, I'm a GURPS, and she's a D&D.

- Rick Krebs said...
My wife has supported my gaming activities and expenses for 38 years, while having absolutely no interest in games. I am fortunate.
- March 12, 2010 at 4:12 PM
- Referee said...
My wife is resigned to the fact that I game...but she does not like it, as it is another thing that detracts attention from her.
Sounds mean or that I have not honestly represented her...but it is not true.
I think, gaming is just one of those inside thing, that some people either are in the circle of knowledge and hence accepting or are on the outside. Those on the outside mock and are jealous types. I have tried to get her into a game but as we all know, gaming is only fun, the more you do it...or if you start in your youth. Otherwise, it is pretty obtuse.
- March 12, 2010 at 4:21 PM
- Anthony Emmel said...
Always fun. When my wife and I met in college (way back yonder in 1993!), she had never played a PnP RPG. However, she had played all the SSI AD&D PC games up to that point. These days, we have 4 kids, between 8 and 14, 3 of whom are girls. They all game. :)
My wife's one complaint is that she feels like I do the exact opposite of the boyfriend/husband GM trait: she thinks I specifically target her to kill. Not quite true: I do attempt to kill her off quick, but that's because she always plays a cleric or healer.
She got smart in our current game: she's playing a paladin! :)

- kittysomerville said...
My husband introduced me to tabletop RPGs, and now I'm addicted! I've always liked video games and computer games, but he introduced me to a much broader spectrum of games than I used to play. Now we feed each other's gaming addictions!
- March 12, 2010 at 8:20 PM
- Aaron said...
My GF tries to be supportive, but it's really beyond her. She tells me that I should game more often, but then becomes irritated if I spend that mush time away from her. On the other hand, she does seem to honestly think that I'd be a good designer/writer. Maybe because she can't understand how someone can spend so much time on something, and not get a paycheck out of it.
- March 12, 2010 at 11:50 PM
She's not a gamer at all. But our courtship occurred during a weekly Champions campaign that lasted nearly two years (with an occasional game of BattleBorn or Expendables), and is delighted when the kids come over to play - rpg or board/card games - and have even gotten her to play Zombies. To top it off, never is heard a discouraging word if I want to buy games.

- A_R said...
Met my wife at a game. Knew each other for over a year before we 'knew' each other. Guess I have to thank EGG for our relationship...
Thanks Gary!
Have not gamed in a while, but have been getting back into the hobby slowly. Even her enterest has spiked.
- March 13, 2010 at 10:46 AM
- David V.S. said...
My wife and I both enjoy RPGs. Me more than her, but we enjoy playing them together.
I did, however, have to design a rules system especially for a GM and single PC. Her work schedule is busy enough that we gave up on having her participate in a weekly RPG group, so we need something to play at home just the two of us.
- March 13, 2010 at 2:39 PM
- mordicai said...
Most of my co-gamers are in PC couples, actually. My wife doesn't "care" per se-- she's just not interested. She'll feign interest when I go on & on about my campaign, at least for a little while, but it isn't a hobby that interests her, in her native state.
- March 13, 2010 at 4:07 PM
- Greyaxe said...
Supportive of the event, argues about the continuous collection of "Books you don't use". The event is good, once a month, not to much strain on the relationship. "I don't want to know" is the standard response when I try to tell her about the game. Overall, anything that get me socializing with humans instead of Pixels is a good thing.
- March 15, 2010 at 2:28 PM
- Rob L said...
My wife is decidedly not a gamer of any type. She has a low level of tolerance for the idea, which increases as long as I take our pre-teen son along and don't leave housework undone, and, of course, that I am discreet about it so that none of her friends find out.

- wants to start quilting but doesn't know how
- anyone who stresses about picking fabric and colors
- anyone with a handful of small "helpers" around or
- anyone who feels they have too little time and space to take on a quilting hobby.
Today I bought a new Bernina, and learned a few new modern methods. Amy's book Modern Basics would make a great companion as I gain new skills.
thanks for the opportunity!

A man is in custody after a long standoff with police. It happened Wednesday in Newburgh on Liberty Street. Elaina Athans has more.
NEWBURGH, N.Y. -- The man who barricaded himself in a Newburgh home when police tried to arrested him on an attempted murder charge is now in custody.
The situation started around 6 a.m. Wednesday when police tried to arrest Gosford Lembhard, the brother of Michael Lembhard, who was shot and killed during a confrontation with police back in March.
Gosford Lembhard retreated inside the Liberty Street home with several relatives, including a 10-year-old girl.
Lembhard is now in custody of US Marshal's Office and no one was hurt during the 10 hour ordeal.
Charges are pending.

See How Tenet Healthcare Ranks Among Analysts' Top Picks With Strong Buyback Activity
A study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages shows that Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC) is the #92 broker analyst pick among those stocks screened by The Online Investor for strong stock buyback activity. To make that list, a stock must have repurchased at least 5% of its outstanding shares over the trailing twelve month period. In forming the rank, the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses were tallied, and averaged; then, the list of stocks with strong buyback activity was ranked according to those averages.
Investors are often keenly interested in knowing which companies are buying back their own stock, because companies often will only make such a move if they feel their stock is undervalued. Tenet Healthcare Corp. is a company with strong buyback activity that is also considered a compelling buy by analysts; a bullish investor could take this to mean that sharp analyst minds came to the same bullish conclusion as the company itself that the stock is a good value, and therefore the stock should do well in the future.
Top Analyst Picks With Strong Stock Buyback Activity »
Analysts studying companies buying back their own stock will also factor into their analysis that future earnings will now be spread over a smaller share count, thereby increasing the per-share earnings the remaining shares will enjoy, versus what that same number would have been absent the stock buyback activity.
According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, THC makes up 2.07% of the SPDR S&PHealth Care Services ETF (XHS) which is trading lower by about 2.2% on the day Thursday.

Soft Touch: Mary McDonald Fabrics and Rugs
With her new fabric and rug lines, Mary McDonald brings a blast of L.A. energy to traditional elegance
By Kathleen Hackett
Mary McDonald
What would Nancy Lancaster do? Madeleine Castaing? Elsie de Wolfe? When Mary McDonald began designing her handsome new fabric and trims collection for Schumacher and eye-popping rugs for Patterson, Flynn & Martin, she turned to her three favorite "lady decorators" for inspiration. "I've always loved Nancy's classic taste, Madeleine's wackiness, and Elsie's whimsy. I wanted the collection to reflect what they might have done now," says McDonald, one of Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators.

The New York SAFE Act passed with a clear majority in both the Assembly and Senate. And in the Senate, members of the Independent Democratic Caucus say this shows their new agreement with the Republicans can get things done, even controversial things. Capital Tonight's Nick Reisman explains.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Day two of the legislative session and Governor Andrew Cuomo already has a victory with a sweeping gun control law. But the measure was also an early win for the Senate coalition of Republicans and five independent Democrats after initial skepticism from Albany observers.
"Everyone talked about guns being the first test of the coalition. If it's a test, I think we passed with flying colors," said Senate IDC Leader Jeff Klein.
Republicans and Democrats share power in the chamber and both Independent Democratic Leader Jeff Klein and Republican Leader Dean Skelos decide together when a bill can come to the floor for a vote. It's a potentially tricky agreement, but coalition leaders say the gun deal was a sign it could function.
"We've made a conscious decision that we're going to be bringing more bills to the floor and members will be able to vote yes and no as they wish," said Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos. Republicans ultimately won provisions in the bill that strengthened criminal penalties and expanded laws to treat the violently mentally ill. But Democrats in the mainline conference point out that it was their gun control bills that ultimately won approval. And in the end, 18 Republicans in the Senate voted against the bill.
"In the end, there were 32 votes from the people who were elected to that chamber as Democrats. So you're essentially seeing a Democratic majority pass this bill in the Senate," said Michael Gianaris, Senate Deputy Minority Leader.
Perhaps most importantly, the coalition has won the approval of Governor Andrew Cuomo, who praised lawmakers for passing the legislation so quickly.
"This is an extraordinary beginning. It really is. I'll tell you I'm excited about this legislative session. I think the past two years you've seen a steady growth in the functional capacity of government," Governor Andrew Cuomo said.
There are potential speed bumps ahead. Cuomo wants to increase the state's minimum wage, enact campaign finance reform and pass a women's equality measure that expands abortion rights, all proposals that Senate Republicans have opposed.

Lincoln Memorial Sculpture
Sale Price: $78.95
To Order by Phone Call 1-800-933-6249
- Additional Details
- Dimensions: 7.5"
Daniel Chester French was born in Exeter, New Hampshire and raised in Concord, Massachusetts. It was there that May Alcott, the sister of the gallant Louisa, gave him his first lessons and his first modeling tools. With little more formal schooling in his craft, and only a few years more of dedicated self-instruction, the twenty-two year old was commissioned to execute, for the centennial celebration of the Concord fight, what was to become one of the most beloved American memorials, The Minute Man.
This first commission launched French on his highly successful career as a sculptor. Nearly fifty years separate this initial accomplishment from the completion of his most famous statue, the great marble Lincoln of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington truly a lifetime of relentless work which has enriched by a full measure the classic heritage of American art.
Of the many sketches which the artist made between 1912 and 1915, this particular one was selected because a seated figure was thought to be appropriate for the inside of the Memorial. Several stages between the first sketch and the final execution may be seen at the studio of the sculptor now open to the public at Chesterwood Estate, Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
Size: 7.5"

I spend most of my holidays, at home, in Palm Beach, Florida, where I grew up. I understand that the idea of a warm Christmas under decorated palm trees might seem quite odd to most, but we still celebrate the holidays with all the fixings and love to eat hearty holiday meals like its a winter wonderland outside.
The menu Ive created hits a little of both worlds, with 2 warm and cozy autumn dishes broken apart by a crisp vegetable salad that cleanses the palate and pampers with each truffle-scented bite. I hope youll enjoy them as much as I do.
Cheers, Phoebe
Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Serves 8-10
I love this recipe because its easy to make and tastes delicious on everything, a cracker, and a piece of bread, crudité or even eaten straight with a spoon. No judging here.
Ingredients: 4 bags of fresh spinach (think 1⁄2 bag per person) 3 cans of artichoke hearts/bottoms in salted brine, not vinegar Or 1 bag frozen artichoke hearts/bottoms, thawed 1 large container of Philadelphia cream cheese 1 1⁄2 cup grated cheese mixture: 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp. salt Pepper to your taste 3⁄4 cup shredded parmesan (save 1⁄4 cup to sprinkle on top) 3⁄4 cup Monterrey Jack cheese (or similar cheese)
*Notes: I always prefer fresh artichoke hearts/bottoms but they add so much extra time and I find good quality canned or frozen artichoke hearts/bottoms work just as well with this dish. However, which ever brand you end up buying, make sure they are NOT in vinaigrette style liquid or oil, as it changes flavor of the artichokes completely. One can is equal to about 4 globe artichoke hearts.
Method: Drain, run water over artichokes to remove excess salt/brine, set aside to dry. Cut artichoke bottoms/heart into bite sized pieces, set half aside. Gently cook spinach until wilted. Drain cooked spinach thoroughly. (There will be lots of water from the spinach, so make sure you squeeze out all excess water, as it needs to be dry.) Once drained, chop up the cooked spinach and season with salt + pepper to your taste. Set aside. Place garlic cloves, 1 tsp. of salt, whole container of cream cheese and half of the artichokes into food processor. Blend until purred. (If you dont have food processor, finely chop and mix together to form a paste.) Cut Monterrey Jack into small bite sized pieces. Gently mix artichoke puree, artichoke pieces, cheese and spinach together in bowl, until combined. Taste to see if mixture needs more salt + pepper. Pour into oven safe dish, sprinkle top with remaining parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20mins in 180°C/375°F oven or until golden brown and bubbly. (Please note, the cooked dip will expand a bit in oven and when transferred to dish, the cheese should be stringy. Uncooked dip freezes well, just needs to cook a bit longer if placed in oven frozen.)
Shaved Raw Vegetable Salad with a White Truffle Vinaigrette.
Serves 6-8
After all the heavy holiday canapés and cheese plates I cannot seem to ignore, I find myself craving this salad. I love it for its incredible mixture of bright and earthy flavors as well as its vibrant holiday colors. And the truffle vinaigrette! I swear I was a truffle pig in a former life or will be in the next.
* Inspired by the shaved radish and celeriac salad with pomegranate, pecorino and truffle oil at Boca di lupo, London
Notes: Please note that when using a mandolin, take great care, as they are extremely sharp and can be dangerous. I dont shave the entire vegetable down; in order to keep my hands from getting too close to that sharp blade and the remaining vegetable bits/ends make great soup additions.
Ingredients: 2 large beets 1 celery root bulb (celeriac) 3 bunches mixed breakfast radishes (think 2 small radish per person) 1 cup pomegranate seeds 2 cups arugula White truffle dressing: 2 tbsp. white balsamic vinegar Juice of 1⁄2 lemon 2 tbsp. white truffle oil 6 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp. salt
Dressing: Mix the vinegar, lemon juice and oils together, season, taste and set aside. (I love acidic vinaigrettes, but if too sharp for your taste, add more olive oil to mellow the flavor)
Method: Wash and dry all the vegetables, remove stems & greens, set aside. Wash and dry the arugula, set aside. Remove seeds from the pomegranate. Peel the celery root. Thinly shave all vegetables, using a mandolin or food processor with attachment. Combine vegetable shavings, arugula and pomegranate seeds in a bowl and toss with the 1⁄2 truffle vinaigrette. Season with salt & pepper and add more dressing to your taste.
Shepherds Pie with Roasted Root Vegetables
Serves 6-8
Im a huge fan of the gastro pub scene in London and I have eaten more meat & potatoes than I thought possible/care to admit. That said, my take on the local pub favorite, shepherds pie, is not your average shepherds pie. This dish is more like a truffled mac + cheese or a Pat LaFrieda burger: a gourmet take on the classic. Yes, it is filled with ground lamb, topped with mashed potatoes, and bursting with hearty winter flavors, but it is sneakily packed with more vegetables than youd ever imagine.
Meat mixture: 2 1/4lbs of ground lamb (think a hamburger size portion per person) 1 Head of garlic -1 large onion 1 tsp. salt -1⁄2 tsp. chili flake (optional) 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary 1 tbsp. fresh thyme 1tbsp olive oil 1⁄4 cup white wine 3 tbsp. soy sauce
Vegetable mixture: 3 large carrots, peeled and finely diced 2 large parsnips, peeled and finely diced 1 medium turnip, peeled and finely diced 2 leeks, white part only and thinly sliced 1 bunch of Kale, de-stemmed and finely sliced 1 cup cherry tomatoes, (halved and roasted in oven at 350°F for 20mins
Mashed potatoes: 8 large Maris piper potatoes (or other fluffy mashing potatoes) 1/2 container of full fat Philadelphia cream cheese 1 stick of butter 1⁄2 cup of milk 1tsp of nutmeg 1tsp salt 1tsp white pepper to taste
Meat: Place onions + garlic in large pot with olive oil and cook over medium heat until translucent in color. Add ground lamb, herbs, soy sauce and seasoning to the pot, stirring constantly with cooking spoon/spatula to create fine texture/ break up larger pieces of the meat. Once meat is cooked all the way through, remove from heat, drain excess liquid and set aside to cool. DO NOT THROW out the liquid, this is the meat liquor that helps make the dish so delicious and youll cook the vegetables in it. Deglaze pan with the wine, taking care to scrap any of the caramelized bits on the bottom and add liquid to the meat liquor.
Vegetables: Wash, dry, de-stem, peel and chop all the vegetables. Roast tomatoes for 15 mins in a pre-heated oven at 350°F/180°C with a sprinkle of salt until cooked. In same pot you cooked the lamb, add all the root vegetables and leeks to the pan. Pour the meat liquor on top and slowly cook over medium heat until vegetables are tender to the bite. Add the kale, and continue to cook for a minute or so, until wilted. Remove from heat, drain vegetables, save liquid, and set aside to cool. Combine vegetables, roasted tomatoes, lamb and meat liquor to baking dish.
Mashed potatoes: Peel potatoes place in cold water so they don't brown, until ready to cut up. Place quartered potatoes in large pot filled with salted cold water and bring to a boil. Cooking for an additional 5-10mins until a knife can easily go thru them. Once cooked, tender to the bite, drain potatoes and immediately put back into the hot pot with the butter and cream cheese. (The heat from the potatoes will melt the butter and cream cheese.) Add milk and mash with hand masher or blend with mixer until combined and fluffy. Add nutmeg and salt/pepper to the mix. Season with additional salt and pepper to your taste. Spread mashed potatoes on top of vegetable/meat mixture. Bake in pre-heated 375°F/200°C oven for 20 minutes or until the top of shepherds pie is gently browned and meat is bubbling. * Can grate fresh Parmesan or cheddar cheese on top, but not necessary.

FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet
Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet
File name: FGDC Plus.xsl
Version: 2.0
Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.

With the buff to devastate, I personally find UA being slightly less useful for threat.
I am wondering if a UA build is still useful or worth the loss of avoidance for the amount of dps/threat that it brings to the table.
I have recently joined a new guild I am fully geared out but many of the dps is not. The healers are awesome though and could handle the extra damage. With the changes in 3.2 would I pickup enough dps to truly make a difference in some of the speed kills needed for the hard modes.
I did try to find an answer to this in other threads but none directly states if it is or not.
With the buff to devastate, I personally find UA being slightly less useful for threat.
I really don't understand why people use UA so much. The spec totally destroys a lot of a prot warrior's usefulness (no sunder, warbringer, shockwave, etc), it sucks for aoe, and the threat increase really isn't that big (sometimes it provides no increase at all). Most people will probably argue that it's super awesome for single-target threat, but every impressive or record-setting tps report I've ever come across has always been done with "normal" spec. Pushing 1 button over and over throughout the course of a fight gets insanely boring as well.
No, I don't see any usefulness at all in the UA spec atm.
Dragaan, sunders can still be done, and the lack of aoe/warbringer doesn't matter much on fights like Hodir hard mode.
But yes, pressing the same skill for an entire fight does get boring.
The amount of dps lost by a rogue or warrior or yourself in order to keep sunders up with this build is about equal to the dps gain for using UA build. If your talking about Hodir, then the dps loss you suffer during flash freeze casting could easily make it an overall loss in dps to try this build.
Your time would be better spent working with the dps to figure out why they aren't pulling their weight.
ever since the devastate buff, and since picking up the devastate glyph, i no longer feel the need to use a UA build.
My dps and tps is much higher than in was, and i get to keep the fun talents. I longer have to spend a whole fight mashng one button.
Im looking to get the 2xt8 and 2xt9 set bonuses which will further prevent the need to return to the trusty old UA build.
getting even further off course if you can get a slow 1h weapon instead of a "tanking" weapon devastate seems a little too overpowered. last night i decided to pick up a Malice that nobody needed and put it on over my Sorthalis. my dps increased by 5-600 and devastate jumped to my top damaging move by 3% while not missing a revenge or SS CD.

- Zweidimensionale Elektrophorese (1) (remove)
- Biochemical analysis of the interaction between transfer ribonucleic acid and exportin-t (2006)
- In this thesis the ternary complex of tRNA•exportin-t•Ran•GTP was studied by biochemical and biophysical methods. Firstly, photocrosslinking was used to determine the contact sites between tRNA and exportin-t. 4-Thiouridine (s4U) was introduced into tRNAPheT.th by in vitro transcription with T7 RNA polymerase and crosslinked to exportin-t by irradiation at 312 nm. The crosslinking was Ran•GTP dependent and could be competitively inhibited by other tRNA species, showing that the crosslinking was the consequence of the formation of a tRNA•exportin-t•Ran•GTP complex. The crosslinked complex of (s4U)tRNAPheT.th-exportin-t after proteinase K digestion was incubated with a primer complementary to the 3'end of the tRNAPheT.th in the primer extension reaction. The elongation of the reverse transcriptase was forced to halt at s4Us crosslinked to peptides, namely, U55, U47, U33, U20. Among them, U47 and U55 were shown to be the major crosslinking sites. U47A mutation was introduced into tRNAPheT.th to test the role of U47. The mutant tRNAPheT.th transcript was still able to bind exportin-t, though a little weaker than normal tRNAPheT.th transcript. In contrast, s4U containing mutant tRNAPheT.th U47A exhibited a much poorer capability to crosslink exportin-t. It is concluded that U47 may be a major contact site between tRNAPheT.th and exportin-t. Secondly, the binding abilities of different tRNA species in calf liver tRNABulk to exportin-t was examined by affinity chromatography on immobilized exportin-t. With a stepwise elution of 250 mM and 500 mM KCl, tRNABulk was fractionated into 2 peaks. Therefore, Different tRNAs bound to exportin-t with different affinity. Among 7 tRNAs tested, the relative affinity to exportin-t ranked as tRNALeuCAG > tRNASerGCU, tRNALeuCAA, tRNASerUGA > tRNASerAGA, tRNALeuAAG > tRNAArgACG. To interpret the different affinity of tRNAs to exportin-t, it is proposed that exportin-t preferentially exports tRNAs that are required the stronger by the protein synthesis machine. The extent of requirement of a specific tRNA by cells is supposed as the ratio between the tRNA concentration in a cell and its codon frequency in the genome, if all tRNAs are supposed to be aminoacylated and transported to ribosome equally. It was found that among 7 tRNAs identified on the 2D urea PAGE, the theoretical estimation of 5 tRNA species upon their requirement by cell ranked the same as their relative affinity to exportin-t. Finally, atomic force microscopy was used to observe exportin-t and its interaction with tRNA in a native and undisturbed state directly. Exportin-t-esterase, immobilized to trifluoromethyl ketone (TFK) modified mica surface, showed a diameter of 15 ± 2 nm. After binding tRNA and Ran•GppNHp, the diameter of the complex somewhat increased to 16 ± 2 nm.

Christopher Wood
English, 1901–1930
Carnations in a Green Vase, c. 1925
oil on canvas
28.1 x 23.4 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift from the Estate of Arnold O. Brigden
This vibrant still life of red carnations in a green vase demonstrates the wonderful naive expressionism which highlights Wood's short painting career. There is freshness to this simple work, both in the ready application of paint and the straightforward rendering of the subject. Its intimate scale provides a heightened sense of immediacy for the viewer. Born in London, Wood travelled to Paris to study painting, moving in the circles of Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau, and absorbing elements of Cubism and Fauvism in his work. He moved back to London in 1926 and joined the 7 & 5 Society, but he returned to Paris several times, and spent considerable time in Tréboul, a port town in Brittany. Wood suffered from a severe addiction to opium, and committed suicide at the age of 29.

In what may be the ultimate confirmation of perceived reliability, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recently announced they would be moving their data and much of their operating software into "the cloud." Specifically, they have contracted with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host much of the CIA's information technology activity. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) made a similar move last year.
Mission-critical operations are usually among the last to adopt new technologies, preferring to wait until the bugs are worked out and their utility is proven before betting the ranch on a new gadget's performance.
The federal government is especially reticent to buy new consumer technology, which is ironic when you consider that the Department of Defense regularly contracts to buy aircraft, vehicles and ships that haven't been invented yet. Often, these new designs have numerous flaws that keep them from going operational for years, and usually cost millions or billions more to perfect and manufacture.
In the roughly 35 years we have had personal computers in the workplace, both private and public sector organizations have traditionally purchased both hardware and software outright. The IT industry moves so fast that the new gear seems outdated within a year or three, although it typically performs about as well on day 1,000 as it did on day one.
When we're running Windows 7 and saving files to massive solid state hard drives and peanut-size flash drives at home, it's a letdown to go to work and use a computer running Windows 95, pulling files off of floppy disks. Don't laugh, I personally know of a medical office which was doing exactly that until last year.
The practice of having both software and data in the cloud, on a remote server, is sometimes called Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Maintaining relatively low-powered (and inexpensive) thin client terminals at the work site, the applications and data are called down from the cloud as needed. The outfit hosting SaaS is responsible for keeping everything running, from tending and powering the physical computers to constantly tweaking and upgrading the software to provide maximum efficiency.
Google has a free SaaS option called Google Docs, and the latest iteration of Microsoft Office, called Office 365, runs on a SaaS subscription.
For an operation like the CIA, SaaS has result in significant savings. Much of their role is in data collection and archiving, but the analysis function occasionally demands some high-powered computing resources. By paying for these resources only when it needs them, the agency saves the cost of buying high-end computing equipment that may sit idle most of the time, can occasionally be unavailable because of higher-priority needs, and will be obsolete in a few years.
AWS offers computing services that are similar to hotel rooms. If you travel to another city frequently, you could buy a house to stay in while you're there, but the house will be vacant most of the time.
Instead, you rent a hotel room to use when you need it, and let the hotel take care of it both when you need it and when you don't. The hotel tries to maximize its revenue by keeping that room occupied as much as possible, and there is a delicate balance between having rooms available when anyone wants one and having too much excess inventory that's not making money.
AWS does the same thing with computers. Both private and public companies occasionally need some major processing power, and AWS will sell it to them when they need it. Similarly, they build data storage centers in geographically separate locations, so it's unlikely a single disaster will take down much of the system at once.
That doesn't mean it never happens. AWS hosts much of Netflix's streaming video collection, which can account for one-third of all North American internet traffic at peak use hours.
Last Christmas Eve, folks who wanted to put on Santa Claus Conquers the Martians for the rug rats were disappointed when the entire Netflix streaming network crashed.
Don't blame Netflix. The problem was attributed to a human error by an Amazon employee.
Is AWS reliable enough to handle national security? Even with the occasional failure, it's probably more reliable — and considerably cheaper — than a single-source data storehouse operated by the government. I have to hope that people smarter than me and who are knowledgeable about encryption systems have been heard on the security of this enterprise. If it is robust enough for the DHS and CIA, it's going to be good enough for state and local law enforcement as well.

- June 30, 2010: Verdict -- Lucasfilm discriminated against pregnant woman
Blaming a Marin County judge for "a miscarriage of justice," a state appeals court reversed a pregnancy discrimination verdict against Lucasfilm Ltd. and vacated $1.2 million in attorney's fees stemming from a 2010 jury trial in Marin Superior Court.
The three-judge appellate panel, in a 37-page decision published Monday, said the trial judge, Lynn O'Malley Taylor, made so many errors in jury instructions that it "prejudicially affected the verdict." The appeals panel sent the case back to Marin for retrial.
The discrimination lawsuit was filed by Julie Gilman Veronese, who lost a job at the San Anselmo estate of "Star Wars" filmmaker George Lucas in 2008. Veronese claimed the job was revoked after she informed the company she was pregnant.
The appellate ruling was filed in the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco. The decision was written by Justice James Richman and joined by Justices Paul Haerle and James Lambden.
Veronese's trial lawyer and mother-in-law, Angela Alioto, said the appellate decision was a "boggling" interpretation by three male judges. She said she is "tempted" to take the case to the state Supreme Court but has not decided.
"It's so upsetting that three men in a position of power could think this way in 2012," said Alioto, a prominent discrimination lawyer and former San Francisco supervisor. "No pregnant woman is safe in the workplace with this attitude, the attitude of these three men."
Lucasfilm, in a statement released Monday afternoon, said it was "very happy that the Court of Appeals has tossed out the discrimination verdict."
"The allegations in this case were without merit," the company said. "Lucasfilm is committed to equal employment opportunity and has a long track record of providing a supportive work environment free of discrimination in which all employees are treated fairly. In particular, we have always championed working mothers and have exemplary programs in place to help employees start families. We applaud the Court's ruling as a vindication of our excellent track record in this area."
Veronese has 15 days to ask the three judges to reconsider, or 40 days to petition the state Supreme Court to review the case, said her appellate lawyer, Michael Rubin of Altshuler Berzon LLP in San Francisco.
One difference between the first trial and a second trial would be that Lucasfilm is now owned by the Walt Disney Co., which bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion in a deal announced in October. It was unclear whether the ownership change will increase the odds of a pretrial settlement.
The litigation began after Veronese, then 36, lost a job as an assistant to Sarita Patel, the longtime manager of George Lucas' residential compound in San Anselmo. Veronese, who never actually started the job, claimed the job was yanked after she told Patel she was pregnant.
Lucasfilm attorneys denied the allegations, suggesting Veronese concealed her pregnancy from Lucasfilm until she was hired because she wanted to exploit the company benefits. They also described her as a "narcissistic" socialite with a flimsy work history and an "entitled" attitude.
After a three-week trial that included testimony by George Lucas himself, a Marin jury ruled that Lucasfilm committed pregnancy discrimination, failure to prevent pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination. The jury rejected two of Veronese's claims, retaliation and failure to accommodate a disability.
Veronese sought $677,000 in past and future wages and earnings, but the jury limited the damages to $113,830 for past economic losses. Later, Judge Taylor awarded Veronese $1,157,411 in attorney's fees.
Lucasfilm did not pay the damages or the legal fees while the appeal was pending.
In the appeal, Lucasfilm argued that Taylor made six major errors in the jury instructions: two in which she improperly approved instructions proposed by Veronese; two where she improperly refused to give instructions proposed by Lucasfilm; and the "complete failure" to give the jurors instructions on two of the alleged Lucasfilm violations they were to consider.
The appeals panel largely agreed with Lucasfilm, saying there were enough instructional errors that the jury was unfairly prejudiced against the defendants.
The panel also said "there was much evidence of genuine concern for family and pregnant women, by both Lucasfilm in general and Patel in particular."
"As to Lucasfilm, it provides its employees with paid maternity, paternity, and adoptive parent leave; adoption assistance; coverage for infertility treatment; subsidized daycare; and 100 percent medical insurance coverage for the entire family," the ruling said.
Taylor, whose style was folksy and nearly informal during the trial, had officially retired from full-time service in 2004, but she continued to hear some cases. If there is a new trial in the Lucasfilm case, it is uncertain whether she will hear it.
"Judge Taylor was wonderful judge," Alioto said Monday. "She was one of the fairest judges I've ever, ever had, and she knew her stuff."
Sarita Patel is still the manager of Lucas' estate, Lucasfilm spokeswoman Lynne Hale said Monday.

In all fairness, that is not a nanny state example. The state is being a nanny when laws/regulations are enacted to protect you from yourself, not protect you from others. Enforcing helmet use on bicycles is the former. Stopping people urinating in lifts is the latter.
