Wolvie, how are we now getting the sheet? I have been using a 4.3, and I see that you're up to 4.5 .
I can't remember how I got it...
BTW, have you incorporated the "house rule 1:3 for skills" thing as a toggle after all that whinging before, and if not, is there a way I could do so?

Paradise Lane was custom-built in 1968 by a local New Milford architect for his own family, but by the time Donald Billinkoff got a hold of it, the home had some peculiar features. As one of Billinkoff's architect friends said, it had the "appearance of a rest station in a public park" and had furnishings and lighting that accentuated the home's awkwardness. This included a behemoth fireplace made with chocolate brown tiles and beige bricks that terminated at odd angles. Yet, the home had good views, a single story, and good bones that Billinkoff could work with.
His remodel included replacing windows with more efficient and open ones and removing a few walls to open up the space and make it more flexible. The fireplace was torn out and replaced with one made with exposed CMU, and a new elevated porch was built off the dining room to take advantage of the outdoors.
Billinkoff sourced new materials from local or USA-based companies and reused materials whenever possible – oak doors serve as a table and countertops insulation was moved to new locations. The roof features a new white membrane to reflect heat and a solar thermal system for domestic hot water. New windows and overhangs help provide more daylight and minimize overheating in the summer, while new tiles absorb heat during the winter. A high-efficiency zoned heating system and LED lighting reduces energy usage and low-flow fixtures reduce water consumption.

10/19 in Yankee History
2009: The Angels let it be known that there will be no sweep of the ALCS, as they beat the Yankees in 11 innings at Anaheim. The player making the announcement is the 'defensive' half of the
AL West champs' catching platoon, Jeff Mathis, who doubles in Howie Kendrick off Alfredo Aceves with two down in the 11th for a 5-4 win. Derek Jeter leads off the game with a home run, and A-Rod, Johnny Damon, and Jorge Posada go long as well. Posada's shot ties the game at 4-4 in the eighth, as the veteran backstop appears in his 101st postseason game.

2003: The Yankees bounce back behind Andy Pettitte to tie the World Series at 1 game apiece with a 6-1 triumph in Game 2. Hideki Matsui's 3-run blast in the 1st inning is all Pettitte needs. Alfonso Soriano also homers for NY. Mark Redman takes the loss for the Marlins.
1992: Atley Donald, winner of 65 games for the Yanks between 1938 and 1945 and member of 4 Championship clubs, dies at the age of 82.

1986: George Pipgras, mainstay of the Yankee pitching staffs of the '20s and early '30s, dies at the age of 86. Pipgras also went on to a distinguished career as an umpire after his playing days.

Listen to speeches given in Washington 50 years ago at the massive march for freedom
On August 28, 1963, a massive gathering of about 250,000 marchers, peaceful and focused, gathered on The Mall of Washington, D.C. to make a point to the U.S. Congress, and indeed, to the whole country, that jobs and freedom were the rights of everyone. African-Americans and civil rights supporters listened to community leaders make riveting and moving speeches on the importance of honoring the civil rights of all citizens.
The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the final scheduled speaker of the day. But history has moved his to the forefront of great historical speeches given in this country.
Hear the full text of his 'I have a Dream" speech.
Listen to the full text of the other main speakers here:
A. Philip Randolph, president, American Negro Labor Council
John Lewis, national chairman, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
Roy Wilkins, executive secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Editor's note: Michael Elliott is president and CEO of the ONE Campaign, a global advocacy organization co-founded by Bono that is dedicated to fighting extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. TED is a nonprofit dedicated to "ideas worth spreading," which it makes available through talks posted on its website.
(CNN) -- When Bono took the stage at the TED2013 Conference in Long Beach, California, the U2 front man told the audience he had embraced his "inner nerd." "Exit the rock star," Bono said, "Enter the evidence-based activist - the factivist."
The speech was a call to action. Extreme global poverty has already been cut in half over the past 20 years, from 43% in 1990 to 21% in 2010. Bono said that if the current trajectory can be continued, extreme poverty could be virtually eliminated by 2030.
TED.com: Bono: 8 talks that give me hope
There has been astonishing progress in other areas of human development. More than 8 million people are on life-saving antiretroviral drugs, compared with only 200,000 a decade ago. In eight sub-Saharan African countries, malaria deaths have been cut by 75%; the rate of child mortality for those under 5 is down by 2.65 million deaths a year since 2000.
That's all great news, but there are two things that should give us pause. First, not enough people have any idea of the successes in the fight against global diseases and poverty. "It drives me nuts," said Bono, "that most people don't seem to know this news."
TED.com: What does extreme poverty look like today?
Second, the gains the world has made are in jeopardy. They could be reversed with cuts to the budgets for vital institutions like the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; they could be stopped in their tracks if the world allows corruption, inequality, apathy and inertia to dictate the pace -- or lack of it -- of progress.
TED.com: Do we need more worldwide development goals?
But if the world keeps the promises that it has made to itself to really fight extreme poverty and preventable disease, then nothing is impossible. Bono argued that if we used transparency -- which tackles corruption like nothing else -- and technology, we can get closer to the "Zero Zone," where extreme poverty is virtually eliminated by 2028. Then this generation would be what Nelson Mandela once challenged it to be: the "Great Generation" that did away with -- in Mandela's words, the "most awful offense against humanity" that extreme poverty represents.
TED.com: The quest to end poverty
Factivism, Bono said at TED2013, is a virtuous, data-based virus, and challenged his audience to "spread it, share it, pass it on ... by doing so, you will join us and countless others in what I truly believe is the greatest journey ever taken -- the ever-demanding journey of equality."

Any one recall family outings to get away from the busy city life?Boat Rides to Rye Beach,Keansburg,NJ,Sightseeing Boats around Manhattan,Picnics at Valley Stream State Park. Always pleanty of food !Charcoal grills!Jimbo-Bayville was one of the nicest beaches I recall as a kid.
Last edited by Sal (2013-09-06 12:27:28)
My favorite family outings took place on hot summer weekends when my dad & mom would take us kids to the beach. We usually went to a town on Long Island called Bayville which had great beaches and they weren't overcrowded. A little cookout over a charcoal fire for a late lunch made the day complete.
Jones Beach, picnics @ Valley Stream State Park (10 cent toll on the Southern State to get there), clambakes @ Sunken Meadow State Park, ferry ride around Manhattan Island.As we got older & my parents had a little $ to spare, we would rent a place @ Sag Harbor for a week. My parents enjoyed it. 'nuff said.Jimbo--Bayville was still a nice place, the last time I was there about 15 years ago. Mafia families had lots of guarded compounds behind trees & stone walls. There were a few outstanding restaurants
Olivia, I havent been to Bayville in over half a century but my memories of that quant little town are still with me.
we used to have family gatherings at Cunningham Park or Alley Pond Park.. My grandparents would get there around 6 AM, get the food started and reserve the tables we needed. Then around 11 or so, all the family would start to show up. Great times, good food, horseshoes, games etc.
Had an aunt and uncle ,that used to drive us to Lake Ronkonkoma every summer,as we didn't have a car.The usual would be Far Rockaway,around 44th. St. Yea, I can remember that stupid dime toll on th S.S.Pkway.
Ed--I forgot about Cunningham Park. We used to have some good family picnics there. Then, when I was old enuf to date, the Cunningham parking lot was where we went to "park". Alley Pond Park was where my brothers spent alot of summer hours. They used to bike over there & come home w/alot of water creatures---frogs, snakes, once a turtle.
LOL Olivia. I used to "park" there too.
Most family outings we had near NYC were to Jones Beach, Captree, and Sunken Meadow. Sunken Meadow had a picnic area away from the beach among the trees for shade. They had BBQ grills and at the end of the day we would eat before the ride home in the dark.A few trips to Montauk, and a few to an old whaling town on the north shore. They have whaling museums with the old boats and harpoons. Was that Cold Spring Harbor maybe?
Mike I believe the whaling museum was in Sag harbor LI.
Mike & Jimbo--you're both right. Sag Harbor has a larger whaling museum, & Cold Spring Harbor has a smaller one.
Thanks Olivia and Jim, I know I was to more than one, so I probably saw both!You know how it is, when you're a kid you might never know or care where you are!But the memories stick.
I remember Sunken Meadow State Park, as a beach, where you could walk out a quarter mile, and the water would only be up to your knees.
When I was older, late teens early 20's the crowd I hung out with had many a beach party at Sunken Meadow State park. It was a great place for an outing. Pomonoker, maybe I saw you there a time or two.
Pomonoker, thanks for the memory. I too remember that about Sunken Meadow, but forgot about it until you brought it up. I was the youngest of 3 siblings at the time and our Dad used to walk us out there. I was probably about 5, 6, and 7 years old those days. I remember it slowly got deeper the further out you went. At one point it got up to my chin with my toes barely touching the bottom (yes I knew how to swim, it wasn't child abuse lol) and then all of a sudden we were walking back up hill onto a sand bar. Dad knew this was only because it was low tide and only let us stay a short period of time before he would say time to go back.
There is one place I forgot to mention. As a kid growing up,my friends and I used to take the E train to Broad Channel,hop over the station wall on the east end of the platform ( to avoid the exit fare ) and go swimming in the bay. Noticed alot of horse shoe crabs there at the time. Took a chance on the quality of the water,but as kids,we didn't think about that,and just wanted to explore something different. This was not a family outing,as the topic suggests. LOL
you took a chance at Rockaway?? I used to go swimming in the creek in the Worlds Fair grounds..I later found out it was a sewage release area..YUK!!!
Ed, as bad as Jamaica Bay was back then, I think you have Charlie beat hands down in the dirty water swimming category. I'm glad I wasn't eating when I read your post!
I recall that our family outings were to exotic places such as Rye Playland, Anthony Wayne Park (upstate New York), Lake Sebago (upstate too), Ellenville, Kerhonksen and last but not least to the old Log Cabin and Schultz's Cider Mill up in Armonk NY. DrSteve
DrSteve, about Ellenville.I remember as a kid going places upstate on the "new" route 17. I think it had the nickname "The Quickway" at the time.When it came to the Wurtsboro - Ellenville area it made a big horseshoe turn on the top of the ridge above a valley with Wurtsboro below. There was a small gravel lot, "rest stop," on the North West bound side that could maybe fit a dozen cars or so. I never saw many there back then. Beautiful view of the whole area.We would stop for lunch there and watch single prop planes tow glider planes way above us, and then release the tow line. The gliders would fly around above for long periods of time, just floating on the hot air rising from the valley.Great memories.
Welcome back Dr. Steve... Your mention of the towns Ellenville and Kerhonksen brought back so many wonderfull memories. I my dad and brothers camped, hunted and fished the areas around those towns for years. New York State is truly a beautiful state.
Mike, I know you stopped at ...THE RED APPLE REST
When we posted about the RAR a few years ago, there had been a bid to buy it & renovate. The biker traffic was seen as being a good source of revenue. I passed thru in June on my way upstate, still a sad looking mess. Guess it's still gone for good. I'm headed up again next month. If I go via 17, I'll look for changes.
Olivia and Ed, it's sad to hear the RAR is not renovated as of yet as far as we know.Ed, I did stop at the Red Apple Rest, but only after I got my drivers license and started going everywhere upstate and PA, on my own with friends. Lets just say our parents were quite frugal. Never saw a restaurant or motel on vacations.As a kid we went camping in New York State Parks camp grounds. Trailer, a home made (by Dad) "food box" with legs he made from half inch plumbing pipes and fittings we would put together on site, a big Coleman cooler, a Coleman 2 burner white gas stove, and a Coleman white gas lantern. All food came with us from home, that's why we would be watching the gliders over the valley at lunchtime eating the sandwiches Mom made for us.I think I remember stopping at the red apple once as a kid and got a small snack to eat in the car as we went on. I strongly suspect that stop was made only because Dad had to take a leak. LOL He also had a what I picture as a 12 by 14 foot canvas tarp, poles and ropes, we would set up over the table and stove area. His US army training I guess. The "Apache" brand trailer opened out into a tent for us 3 youngins' to sleep on the floor in our sleeping bags. The trailer bed itself was a bed for our parents.Our younger sis was born when I was 9. 2 years later she would come with us and sleep in the main tent on the ground with my older sis, and my brother and I had a 2 man pup tent.Lot's of fun in the rain. One night it rained so hard it washed the tent stakes out of the ground. After the third time around pounding the stakes back in different places in the pouring rain, bro John went to the car and found the doors were not locked. We folded the back seats in the station wagon down flat and slept in there for the rest of the night.There's more I could say on this, but diner is ready!Lata
Used to spend part of summers at my uncles house in Schoharie County in upstate NY. Talk about the boonies, 5 miles of dirt road in any direction to get there. Only about 10 houses in the town. Lots of woodchuck hunting was about all there was to do, but it was a great place for a city kid.

Oct. 16 - ACH Alert has reached an agreement with Portland, Oregon-based Umpqua Bank to provide their customers with fraud protection services.
ACH Alerts fraud protection service called A.L.E.R.T. positions Umpqua Bank to be on the leading edge of fraud protection, which is an important service to our customers and communities, said Charles McNeilly, vice president, Umpqua Bank.
ACH Alerts self-service approach allows our customers to have real-time control over their transactions. We were also impressed with the way they worked with us throughout the decision-making process, McNeilly said.
The same competitive advantage and market leadership we were able to provide Umpqua Bank is exactly what we aim to provide all our other financial institution clients who understand the importance of taking a strategic approach to fraud prevention, said Debbie Peace, CEO of ACH Alert. Its exciting to see Umpqua Banks enthusiasm for our A.L.E.R.T. service and what it does to automate processes for their institution and improve their clients banking experience.
McNeilly said the bank had considered other cyber-fraud prevention services but ultimately decided to go with ACH Alerts service because the patented technology allows subscribing account holders to control the pay-no pay decision for incoming ACH debits. A.L.E.R.T. triggers an actionable alert when an ACH debit arrives, enabling the subscribing account holder to detect fraudulent entries immediately and return them instantly, without financial institution intervention.
Umpqua Bank plans to implement ACH Alert's fraud protection services during 2013 with the intention of converting existing ACH debit filter customers to the A.L.E.R.T. platform to provide a better client experience.
Another important aspect of the A.L.E.R.T service is that it doesnt require systems integration but simply inserts into our process flow, and that is significant for us, said McNeilly.
Peace says advances in mobile and online technologies have enabled real-time delivery and receipt of notifications through multiple channels. By leveraging these advances in technology ACH Alert has created patented solutions that enable financial institutions to ultimately mitigate fraud, decrease overhead, generate revenue and increase profitability.
This real-time debit approval process--which can occur before a debit post--allows an account holder to easily identify trusted trading partners to automatically populate an approved list for future transactions, eliminating the need to maintain todays legacy, labor intensive debit filters.
The patented A.L.E.R.T. service also provides the ability to present a pre-populated written statement of unauthorized debits when the SEC code requires it, granting business customers an extended time window to return certain types of ACH debits and makes returning unauthorized ACH debits of all types, a low-cost, no-risk proposition for RDFIs.
To date ACH Alerts patented fraud protection system has documented its clients and their customers have deterred more than $20 million of potential fraud.
ACH Alert provides innovative fraud detection services to financial institutions ranging from community banks to top tier financial institutions. With more than 20 years of industry experience, the founders of ACH Alert are dedicated to assisting financial institutions in mitigating the risks associated with electronic payments. ACH Alert is the 2012 recipient of the Kevin OBrien ACH Quality Award, the highest award for quality in the ACH Network industry. For more information, visit http://www.achalert.com/www.achalert.com.
Umpqua Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: UMPQ) is the parent company of Umpqua Bank, an Oregon-based community bank recognized for its entrepreneurial approach, innovative use of technology, and distinctive banking solutions. Umpqua Bank has 185 locations between San Francisco, California, and Seattle, Washington, along the Oregon and Northern California Coast, Central Oregon and Northern Nevada.

Nissan Juke Nismo Concept isn't a sure thing, yet
by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Nov 29th, 2011 at 9:34PM
With Nismo set to expand its scope and product range in the coming years, Nissan's in-house tuning division needs to start with something both customizable and attainable. And it appears the Juke is it. Nismo has done the standard cadre of mods to the Juke, including the fitment of larger Brembo brakes with slotted rotors up front, stiffer springs and shocks, 19-inch wheels with performance rubber and an assortment of interior baubles to match the racy exterior. The body kit isn't just a looker – it's functional – with the revised front and rear bumpers, grille and rear... Read More

Mary Hark's interest in Kumasi, Ghana began with a year-long Fulbright fellowship that allowed her to get to know the local community. She and a team of students, artists and faculty from the Kumasi Center for Book and Paper Arts, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and the Ghanaian artists' collective, SaNsA, began collecting and documenting various natural fibers from the region. They noticed a huge amount of the invasive Paper Mulberry plant which had been introduced to Ghana in 1969 and decided to experiment. The kozo fiber commonly used in Japanese paper making is derived from the same plant and gives the paper excellent strength. The experiments proved highly successful and Hark and her team began producing handmade paper.
Given the booming textile industry, they also decided to incorporate recycled textile scraps into the process. Native plants such as avocado, plantain, cashew and papyrus were also processed and added to papers allowing for a wider range of options.
Currently, Ghana imports its fine art papers from Europe which are very expensive. With the help of Lee McDonald's bicycle powered pulp refining machine, fine papers can now be produced locally. The Oracle Beater was developed in 2009 and consists of a bike connected to the beater. What sets the beater apart from a conventional blender is that it is much more powerful and has a controllable gap between the roll and blades that makes the pulp much more uniform allowing for the production of very fine papers. The contraption can be dismounted and transported to wherever paper production is taking place.

That's all fine and good for the economy, but if local farmers are now expanding the range of invasive mulberry (as noted in the article), then what's the point? If the goal is to get rid of invasives, then it's clear that this approach DOESN'T WORK. Turning invasive species into a commodity only encourages people to grow more of it. Whoops. Who saw that coming?
mjthompso October 6, 2011 at 11:23 pm
Brilliant! This project exemplifies the synergy born of authentic collaborations. Brava, Mary and all!
lazyreader October 6, 2011 at 11:19 am
Free market environmentalism……It's an expensive process to remove all the invasive weeds, unless it's just a labor cost. Africa also has a problem with another invasive plant, Water Hyacinth. It's thick tough fibers make it all but impossible to remove from water ways which choke due to lack of sunlight which kills other water plants and starves dissolved oxygen. Some local industries have harvested the material and converted the tough fibers into a similar wicker material to make furniture out of it.

Paula Wolfson and Alex Beall, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Nothing completes spring cleaning like organizing and cleaning out a closet. But the biggest challenge is always knowing where to start.
Style for Hire's Lisa Tumbarello offers some organization tips to make tackling your closet a bit easier.
WTOP talked to Lisa about the best ways to get your clothes in order and how to decide what should stay and what should go. Check out the gallery for a look into Lisa's own closet.
Make some time.
Cleaning out your closet isn't going to take 30 seconds. It's going to take a couple of hours so set aside an afternoon and have a try-on party. Have you worn it in a while? Does it fit? Does it look good? Does it make you happy? If it's a size ago, should you keep it? If you answered "no" to any of these, it's time to sell it to consignment, donate it or throw it out. Be honest and objective. But get it done before spring shopping so you can make yourself a shopping list.
You have to start somewhere.
And making piles is a good place to start. Get serious by labeling your piles (what to keep, what to look at again, what to donate, what to fix and so on). Remember, you can always tweak and tailor your old pieces to make new ones. For example, if the bottoms of your pant legs are worn, hem them to make a cropped pant.
Itemize and colorize.
Start by putting all the same items together: pants, blazers, skirts, etc. Then colorize within each category from light to dark. Within each color you can also order by style. For shirts, within each color section, order the tops from tanks tops to short sleeves to long sleeves. Avoid organizing by outfit, though, because you'll miss the multiple ways one item can be worn. Organizing also helps your spring shopping by pointing out what you have an over-abundance of and what you're missing.
Hang ups.
When do you hang it, when do you fold it? For shirts, if it's for more than lounging around, hang it up. But lightweight sweaters and heavyweight knits should be folded otherwise the hanger puts pesky divots in the shoulders or stretches them out. No matter the article of clothing, use good hangers like the thin velvet flocked hangers. They save space, simplify outfit making, won't ruin shoulders and don't let your tops slip off.
Calling it quits.
Parting is such sweet sorrow, but sometimes it has to be done. If you wouldn't buy it at a Goodwill store, then don't bother donating it. It will end up in the trash somewhere anyways. If the piece has bad stains or moth holes, it's time to trash it.

Description & HighlightsBe the first to Write a Review
Windster RA-77 Series 42" Wall Mounted Vent Hood - Brushed Stainless Steel
The Windster RA-77 Series features top-of-the-line vent hoods without over-the-line prices. This 42" model (RA-7742SS) has a classic look and a variety of features that are sure to enhance your cooking as well as your kitchen. With only five small control buttons hidden beneath the front trim, the unit's sleek, smooth appearance is not disturbed by a cluttered control panel, though it still offers the standard functions of a quality vent hood. With the push of a button, you'll be able to turn the unit on, activate the LED cooking lights, and choose between three fan speeds (low, med and high).
RA-77 Series vent hoods are engineered to quickly funnel smoke and fumes into the unit and out of the air. Wider at the bottom and tapered at the top, the funnel-like construction allows the vent hood to trap large amounts of smoke at the bottom and direct it upward.
This model is to be installed on the kitchen wall directly above your stovetop cooking surface. As a general rule, vent hoods should usually be large enough to encompass the perimeter of the cooking surface it is paired with. Assembly and installation required.
Simple Control Buttons:The control panel features five buttons: power, lights and three fan speeds; adjust the fan speed selecting either the I, II or III button, which correspond with low, mid and high speed

I love to use the "Remember The Milk for Gmail"-addon in my Gmail account. As I have hunderds of tasks in RTM, and sometimes more than a dozen on one day, the design is very clear: all tasks are shown from the top of the screen in Gmail to the bottom. In addition there with a "mouse-over" on each task more details og the task can be shown. That´s cool and modern looking.

Serious point Spark, is there a subforum plan for this series as you guys may get quite a lot of work with Indian fans starting lots of threads over every minor thing in this series. Might be easier for you guys seeing as we will lose and they want revenge etc...

Apple is pushing out its first automatic security update to protect your computer from being taken over.
A security audit earlier this year showed gaps in the way the movie studio monitored its computer systems, according to a Recode report.
The company said previously that the vast majority of Macs were "safe by default" from the new security vulnerability known as the Bash or Shellshock bug.
The fingerprint reader on the iPhone 6 can be fooled by the same trick that unlocks the iPhone 5S -- but it didn't have to be that way.
After an Uber driver allegedly rapes a woman in Boston, the ride-sharing service's background checks come under scrutiny.
The Android version of the messaging app no longer sends images and videos without encryption protection, and an iOS fix has been submitted, the company says.
The flaw, which is being leveraged in "limited, targeted attacks," allows remote code execution, Microsoft warns.
Chrome extension Chromebleed runs in the background and warns you when you open a site that has yet to be patched for the Heartbleed bug.
Believe it or not, some Android devices are susceptible to the Heartbleed bug. Here's what you need to know.
Beyond losing official support from Microsoft, the 13-year-old OS was developed in a simpler time when today's cyberthreats were far in the future.

2013 Ford Escape to offer hands-free power liftgate
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Nov 1st, 2011 at 3:58PM
Ford will officially debut the next-generation Escape at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this month, but ahead of the crossover's official debut, we're getting our first look at one of the vehicle's new features: a hands-free power liftgate. How does it work? Simply kick your foot under the Escape's rear bumper (as long as the key fob is in your pocket) and the liftgate will open. When you're done, wave your foot under the bumper again, and the hatch automatically closes. It's a neat-o-nifty feature, no doubt, but this isn't the first time we've seen this technology. In fact, Ford first... Read More

Your Shaman's DPS is surely lacking. For 1 Tank 2 Healers, you will need lots of raid DPS to be able to burst down Deathwing on P2 before Tetanus overwhelms your healers. I also don't think Warriors are the best tanks for this due to your limited cooldown arsenal.
However, there is something you could try. Instruct your raid to focus fire down one of the Terrors and after one of them dies have one of your raiders (say, the Paladin or the DK) taunt and kite the Terror until your Tetanus stacks drops. Afterwards pick it up again and finish killing it. Proceed to killing Deathwing. You could also gear for more Stamina in this particular fight.
Having tried a variety of compositions for this fight (1 Tank 2 Healers, 1 Tank 3 Healers and 2 Tanks 3 Healers), I would recommend going 2 Tanks and 3 Healers, if you have the luxury of doing so. Of course, anything from 1-2 Tanks and 2-3 Healers works, but that comp. ensures maximum control; phase 2 is cake with that comp.
Depending on your healing comp you could do with 2 Tanks 2 Healers (ie, a Resto Shaman and a Disc Priest have very good mitigation cooldowns for the Elementium Bolt; and since you have 4 piece T13...) but I'd go the safe way. After the Mutated Corruption dies, one your healers can go DPS mode anyway. This worked greatly for us as our Resto Shaman could heal like there was no tomorrow and would recover all of his mana through the Telluric Currents talent by going DPS afterwards.
You might have to blow a BL on the last platform depending on your raid DPS, to ensure Deathwing does not cast Cataclysm, but that's alright. If you can save it for P2 that's great, but not really necessary. Once again, P2 is cake with this comp.
As an extra note, Feral Tanks seem to be great on this fight. On my raid he could dish out 31K DPS.

More than a simple upgrade
I do not consider myself being a professional camera tester, I'm just a happy user. This camera is a class of its own. It's more than a simple upgrade to the K-5 I have used before. I like - fast and accurate AF - very quiet shutter - sharpness (a very good lens provided) - overall responsiveness (fast memory card provided) I do not say that noise is worse. In my opinion, a little noise somehow produces a perception of crispyness. You will never see it on moderate-sized prints. However, when ...
Better in every way
The early impressions after 3 weeks of casual snapping are very positive. This body is an upgrade to a K-5 which got used a lot over 2+ years. Pentax/Ricoh made numerous upgrades to a very good camera, none of the upgrades are game-changers but taken together the result is very impressive. To those unfamiliar with the Pentax K-single-digit family they are solid, reliable performers in robust, confidence inspiring bodies with excellent viewfinders & ergonomics. Compared to the K-5 the new ...
Catching fire with a K-3
I am an editor for a small weekly newspaper, and this morning at 5 a.m. the fire siren went off. I went over to my office and grabbed my new K-3, which despite having for a week, have shot nothing more than test shots around the office. I got to the scene and started shooting. I told myself I was not going to shoot 6400 ISO, but because of the conditions, I just went between 3200 and 6400. I have NR set to custom, with low NR for 1600-6400. I also have slow speed NR on. Impressions and thoughts ...
Pentax K-3: Everyday fun with a powerful tool
The Pentax K-3 is both a very continuous product for all people who have owned a recent Pentax DSLR and at the same time a large step ahead in so many areas that it makes the tiny upgrades some "new" camermodels get these days look ridiculous. So what is new for the K-3 compared to other Pentax DSLRs? (1) 2 SD card slots (2) focus peaking (3) 24 MPx sensor (4) Number of F2.8 AF Sensors now is 3 (5) AF sensitivity is up to EV ...
Questions & Answers
K-3 low light AF performance?
Fast question, one of the biggest selling points I read about on the new K-5 models was their -3EV capable AF. Anybody know what the rating is for the K-3? I can't seem to find the spec on it, thx in advance.
Manual page 92 Yep -3EV ... I think metering down to -3EV is new, I believe the K5's stopped at 0EV. http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/products/k-3/spec/ Continue Reading
Just to chime in. The K-5II/IIs also have -3EV sensibility. Completely destroys the K-5 in that respect. Continue Reading
Also, the K-5 II and IIs have a central f/2.8 sensor, the K-5 does not. The K-3 has three f/2.8 sensors. Continue Reading
Changing technique for new sensor
Hello, After reading a lot about people not getting sharp results with their K-3. I then watched photouniverse's video about it and how he was able to get perfectly sharp images with it. However, he and many others said that since Pentax have used the same sensor (or at least the same resolution sensor) for many years now, people are used to that. He then says that moving form 16MP to 24MP would need a steep learning curve. It is also mentioned numerous times that it is a matter of fixing your technique in order to get the most out of the camera. What I don't understand is what those techniques are. He never actually gives any examples. What exactly is it that we need to change to get the best results? Could someone please explain this to me? thanks, Albert
Landscape photographers will do the following to maximize resolution. 1. Always photograph using a nice sturdy tripod. 2. Always photograph using a nice sturdy tripod. 3. Use the sharpest aperture on the lens (f/8, f/11) 4. Use mirror lock so that there are no vibrations introduced during exposure 5. Use a cable release or remote so that you are not touching the camera during exposure (I use 2 second self timer, automatically locks the mirror too) 6. Turn off VR, IS or SR. (Mirror lock turns this off on some cameras) 7. Use the lowest ISO the camera offers (80 or 100) Using f/8, f/11 at ISO 80 will force slow shutter speeds, so you'll need a tripod one way or the other. My average shutter speed is 1/8s. I know people hate bringing a tripod, but it is the most valuable tool I can think of. Don't cheap out either if you are looking to buy one. A poor tripod will ruin your day. Don't want to shoot doing all of the above? That's fine, just don't expect to get the most out of 24mp that ... Continue Reading
I find it hard to believe that an increase in the number of pixels is going to make camera movement more visible, assuming the same size output - print or screen - from both cameras. The visibility of blur from camera shake is a function of the degree of displacement of fixed points during the time the shutter is open. At a given output size, the length of that displacement is going to be the same, regardless of the number of pixels. Of course, if you look at the two images on screen at 100%, motion blur will be more visible with the higher-pixel camera. Continue Reading
So.. that takes care of the static landscapers. But what about the rest of us that walk around forests with a 300mm lens, handheld looking for wildlife. We have been getting superb images from K7's, K10's and the K5iis but suddenly, our 'technique' is not good enough? I'm sorry, but I can't accept this. Maybe I just need to swap back to my trusty K5IIs. Tony Continue Reading
Hei. Will there be a full review of Pentax K-3 soon? Please!
Gordon Laing has this to say about the topic: "several months in this business is a lifetime, and there's no commercial point in Camera Labs reviewing a product that's a few months old. Believe it or not, even a few weeks makes a big difference in page impressions and revenue generated." Continue Reading
They made a half-assed commitment to it when the camera came out top of its category and second overall in the user voted "of the year" awards. Something along the lines of, "we've heard you, now we'd better get reviewing the K-3". Rumour says Ricoh didn't invite them for a caviar buffet, so they're scheduling that camera last. Scandalous? Absolutely. They also never responded to my question of whether the AA simulation was engaged for their test shots. So much for the general level of competence around here. Continue Reading
