That said, one would question whether a mage-blooded individual becoming a Templar is even possible. On the same note, could a Templar undergo the Rite of Tranquility? Would it survive?

I see no reason why normal humans couldn't undergo the Rite of Tranquility as well. All it does is severing one's connection to the Fade. That mages stop being vulnerable to possession is just a side-effect of this, and the cause of why it's done to them but (usually) not anyone else.5trangeCase wrote:On the same note, could a Templar undergo the Rite of Tranquility? Would it survive?
Ohh, like the abuse of lobotomy which is sometimes featured in various movies such as From Hell or Sucker Punch - an interesting idea, especially given that lobotomy likely was the writers' inspiration for the Rite of Tranquility.Balgin Stondraeg wrote:Hmm. I could even see a noble claiming their brother or sister was a mage to get them shut away in the circle to deny them their inheritance and then if the rite of tranquility failed to work on them because they were not a mage (and it simply burned them out and slew them) how might the templars view that? That the person was already posessed and the rite purged them of the wickedness that was all that remained?
I think this is more because even the templars cannot be everywhere, and trying to storm an Avvar village is trouble that Ferelden can ill afford. It's the same reason for why they don't do anything about the heresy going on in Tevinter. Limited resources.5trangeCase wrote:I mean, it's common knowledge that the Dalish, the Avvar and the Chasind have a bunch of apostates and they just turn a blind eye to them.
This is a good point - faith and zeal to strengthen the templar against what he is to face seem to be regarded as requirements, in addition to loyalty and skill-at-arms.DracoDruid wrote:And a templar without the ambition (or devotion) is of diminished use I'd say.
Although it should probably be pointed out that this specific case required a special location as well as the Tranquil being ordered to engage in experiments involving the summoning of spirits. Whilst the process could be replicated, I don't think it is likely to happen randomly - there's a reason the Chantry trusted the Rite for several centuries, and this event was an intentionally created first-timer.Ghostdanser wrote:Tranquils are not immune to possession...

The big difference is that mages can get possessed at any time, whereas others can only get possessed if they are subjected to strong demonic corruption in the real world, which simply doesn't happen very often. They are immune in the Fade (due to not being conscious there), but once a demon has broken through the Veil and has taken solid form it can interact with people and use magic to break their minds. In DA2, the blood mages were using an arcane ritual to trap the aforementioned templars and make them vulnerable for possession in order act as vessels for demons they summoned for specifically this event: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Tarohne

Wait, what? Who? When? If you're talking about Flemmeth, that was explicitly not teleportation. The Champion carries "a piece" of her to the Free Marches, which then manifests into an aspect of her full being. She comments that only being in one place at a time would be too restrictive. So, Flemmeth can be in more than one place at a time, but she has to physically go there (or be taken there), but that's definitely not teleportation.
As for teleportation magic: I could actually deem it possible - albeit surely not as an everyday spell. We know that you can, in theory, bring your body into the Fade (it has been done once), so all it takes for a teleportation would be to jump in and out of it, arriving at a different place when you step out again.
And now I get all sorts of memories about Event Horizon.

Not quite - even the DA P&P mentions the puppet factor as it explains possession as being one of the dangers of magic:Balgin Stondraeg wrote:I tend to think of that as a continuity breaking typo as they clearly aren't that posessed. More like controlled like puppets and apparently in Dragon Age posession means turning into an abomination despite what linguistics and history would suggest otherwise.
Lynata wrote:So, from what I've gathered throughout all the books and games, a demon managing to sneak into a host always possesses the body, but it doesn't always turn it into an abomination right away. At least not in the visible sense. Rather, it seems as if demons/spirits have a tendency to transform stuff they meet in the real world into what they know from the twisted impressions they gathered in the Fade, so a possessed body may or may not develop "demonic" features. How quickly this happens seems to vary, possibly depending on factors such as the demon/spirit controlling it or how tight the control is.
In "Asunder", the definition of abominations is broadened so far that it actually includes Anders and Wynne, even though both look perfectly normal. Then there is the possessed mage Pharamond who is described as an "elf with demonic features".
In DA2, there is also that possessed templar (victim of blood magic ritual) who turns into an abomination (the monstrous kind) as he is confronted by Cullen, so maybe this means the demon controlling the body tried to make it "stronger" or it just means that it took over completely (from merely influencing its victim before)?
Lynata wrote:Ah, I don't even recall Wynne having this "problem" in DA:O already - then again, my interaction with her was rather limited as I mostly went with Alistair, Leliana and Morrigan. Honestly thought they have retconned this until now.
David Gaider wrote:Regular people can be possessed by demons, and are still dangerous, but they are not abominations. Abominations have access to a mage's full power -- even a weak mage turned into an abomination is dangerous -- while a possessed human (or possessed anything) is only as dangerous as the demon that did the possessing.

Fernando Alonso is hoping for a "good Sunday" after once again struggling for single lap pace during qualifying in Singapore.
The double World Champion was down on pace during Saturday's qualifying at the high downforce Marina Bay circuit and could only manage seventh place on the grid.
Alonso's 1:43.938 was a full second short of title rival Sebastian Vettel's pole position time.
But despite his Saturday trials, Alonso is hoping to bounce back come Sunday night's 61-lap grand prix.
"We were not competitive in any of the sessions this weekend unfortunately and we were struggling a little bit with the pace compared with our main competitors," he told Sky Sports F1.
"But in a way it's nothing new from some other weekends - qualifying struggling a little bit, Sunday improving things, and in the end getting close to the podium or on the podium.
"So tomorrow we will try to do our good Sunday again, try to score many points and see where our main competitors finish the race."
Asked about strategy, the Ferrari driver said he'll be taking it "step-by-step" and dealing with whatever the race throws at him.
"It's not so clear yesterday after the long runs which tyre is the best for the race, how many stops are coming into the race," Alonso said.
"So I think strategy is very open at the moment. We need to concentrate step-by-step, the first is the start, the first corner, the first lap. After that making the tyres stay alive for a little bit longer than our rivals and then we'll see [where they are].
"It's a tricky circuit in a mechanical point of view, in the physical point of view, so we must finish the race, score as many points as possible and then check what the others did."

"always round it downwards"
It seems to truncate, or round toward zero, rather than downward. If the float is negative, it is rounded up.
An integer is a number of the set ℤ = {..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...}.
See also:
Integers can be specified in decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16), octal (base 8) or binary (base 2) notation, optionally preceded by a sign (- or +).
Binary integer literals are available since PHP 5.4.0.
To use octal notation, precede the number with a 0 (zero). To use hexadecimal notation precede the number with 0x. To use binary notation precede the number with 0b.
Example #1 Integer literals
$a = 1234; // decimal number
$a = -123; // a negative number
$a = 0123; // octal number (equivalent to 83 decimal)
$a = 0x1A; // hexadecimal number (equivalent to 26 decimal)
$a = 0b11111111; // binary number (equivalent to 255 decimal)
Formally, the structure for integer literals is:
decimal : [1-9][0-9]* | 0 hexadecimal : 0[xX][0-9a-fA-F]+ octal : 0[0-7]+ binary : 0b[01]+ integer : [+-]?decimal | [+-]?hexadecimal | [+-]?octal | [+-]?binary
The size of an integer is platform-dependent, although a maximum
value of about two billion is the usual value (that's 32 bits signed).
64-bit platforms usually have a maximum value of about 9E18, except for
Windows, which is always 32 bit. PHP does not support unsigned
integers. Integer size can be determined using
the constant
PHP_INT_SIZE, and maximum value using the
PHP_INT_MAX since PHP 4.4.0 and PHP 5.0.5.
If an invalid digit is given in an octal integer (i.e. 8 or 9), the rest of the number is ignored.
Example #2 Octal weirdness
var_dump(01090); // 010 octal = 8 decimal
If PHP encounters a number beyond the bounds of the integer type, it will be interpreted as a float instead. Also, an operation which results in a number beyond the bounds of the integer type will return a float instead.
Example #3 Integer overflow on a 32-bit system
$large_number = 2147483647;
var_dump($large_number); // int(2147483647)
$large_number = 2147483648;
var_dump($large_number); // float(2147483648)
$million = 1000000;
$large_number = 50000 * $million;
var_dump($large_number); // float(50000000000)
Example #4 Integer overflow on a 64-bit system
$large_number = 9223372036854775807;
var_dump($large_number); // int(9223372036854775807)
$large_number = 9223372036854775808;
var_dump($large_number); // float(9.2233720368548E+18)
$million = 1000000;
$large_number = 50000000000000 * $million;
var_dump($large_number); // float(5.0E+19)
There is no integer division operator in PHP. 1/2 yields the float 0.5. The value can be casted to an integer to round it downwards, or the round() function provides finer control over rounding.
var_dump(25/7); // float(3.5714285714286)
var_dump((int) (25/7)); // int(3)
var_dump(round(25/7)); // float(4)
To explicitly convert a value to integer, use either the (int) or (integer) casts. However, in most cases the cast is not needed, since a value will be automatically converted if an operator, function or control structure requires an integer argument. A value can also be converted to integer with the intval() function.
If a resource is converted to an integer, then the result will be the unique resource number assigned to the resource by PHP at runtime.
See also Type Juggling.
FALSE will yield 0 (zero), and
TRUE will yield
1 (one).
When converting from float to integer, the number will be rounded towards zero.
If the float is beyond the boundaries of integer (usually +/- 2.15e+9 = 2^31 on 32-bit platforms and +/- 9.22e+18 = 2^63 on 64-bit platforms other than Windows), the result is undefined, since the float doesn't have enough precision to give an exact integer result. No warning, not even a notice will be issued when this happens!
Never cast an unknown fraction to integer, as this can sometimes lead to unexpected results.
echo (int) ( (0.1+0.7) * 10 ); // echoes 7!
See also the warning about float precision.
The behaviour of converting to integer is undefined for other types. Do not rely on any observed behaviour, as it can change without notice.
"always round it downwards"
It seems to truncate, or round toward zero, rather than downward. If the float is negative, it is rounded up.
Be careful with using the modulo operation on big numbers, it will cast a float argument to an int and may return wrong results. For example:
$i = 6887129852;
echo "i=$i\n";
echo "i%36=".($i%36)."\n";
echo "alternative i%36=".($i-floor($i/36)*36)."\n";
Will output:
alternative i%36=20
Here are some tricks to convert from a "dotted" IP address to a LONG int, and backwards. This is very useful because accessing an IP addy in a database table is very much faster if it's stored as a BIGINT rather than in characters.
IP to BIGINT:
$ipArr = explode('.',$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$ip = $ipArr[0] * 0x1000000
+ $ipArr[1] * 0x10000
+ $ipArr[2] * 0x100
+ $ipArr[3]
IP as BIGINT read from db back to dotted form:
Keep in mind, PHP integer operators are INTEGER -- not long. Also, since there is no integer divide in PHP, we save a couple of S-L-O-W floor (<division>)'s by doing bitshifts. We must use floor(/) for $ipArr[0] because though $ipVal is stored as a long value, $ipVal >> 24 will operate on a truncated, integer value of $ipVal! $ipVint is, however, a nice integer, so
we can enjoy the bitshifts.
$ipVal = $row['client_IP'];
$ipArr = array(0 =>
floor( $ipVal / 0x1000000) );
$ipVint = $ipVal-($ipArr[0]*0x1000000); // for clarity
$ipArr[1] = ($ipVint & 0xFF0000) >> 16;
$ipArr[2] = ($ipVint & 0xFF00 ) >> 8;
$ipArr[3] = $ipVint & 0xFF;
$ipDotted = implode('.', $ipArr);
//This is a simple function to return number of digits of an integer.
//function declaration
function count_digit($number)
$digit = 0;
$number /= 10; //$number = $number / 10;
$number = intval($number);
return $digit;
//function call
$num = 12312;
$number_of_digits = count_digit($num); //this is call :)
echo $number_of_digits;
//prints 5
Sometimes you need to parse an unsigned
32 bit integer. Here's a function I 've used:
function parse_unsigned_int($string) {
$x = (float)$string;
if ($x > (float)2147483647)
$x -= (float)"4294967296";
return (int)$x;
Please also note that the maximum stored in the integer depends on the platform / compilation; on windows xp 32 bits, the following value:
echoes to:
6.0822444802213E+18 (cast to float)
On a fully 64 bits system, it echoes to:
To force the correct usage of 32-bit unsigned integer in some functions, just add '+0' just before processing them.
for example
will print '7FFFFFFF'
but it should print 'A269BBA6'
When adding '+0' php will handle the 32bit unsigned integer
will print 'A269BBA6'
"The behaviour of converting to integer is undefined for other types. Do not rely on any observed behaviour, as it can change without notice."
actually i use type casting to output Boolean like this:
echo (int)(function_exists('imagecreatetruecolor'));
so i see 0 or 1 in output

This can be written in a bit more efficient way:
$ipArr = explode('.',$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$ip = $ipArr[0]<<24
+ $ipArr[1]<<16
+ $ipArr[2] <<8
+ $ipArr[3]
shift is more cheaper.
echo "
".(int) ( (0.1+0.7) * 10 ); // echoes 7. Wrong. I think this is bug in PHP. It works fine for below expressions
echo "
".(int) ( (0.2+0.7) * 10 ); // echoes 9. Right
echo "
".(int) ( (0.3+0.7) * 10 ); // echoes 10. Right
echo "
".(int) ( (0.4+0.7) * 10 ); // echoes 11. Right
On 64 bits machines max integer value is 0x7fffffffffffffff (9 223 372 036 854 775 807).
Be careful when using integer conversion to test something to see if it evaluates to a positive integer or not. You might get unexpected behaviour.
To wit:
require_once 'Date.php';
$date = new Date();
print "\$date is an instance of " . get_class($date) . "\n";
$date += 0;
print "\$date is now $date\n";
$foo = new foo();
print "\$foo is an instance of " . get_class($foo) . "\n";
$foo += 0;
print "\$foo is now $foo\n";
class foo {
var $bar = 0;
var $baz = "la lal la";
var $bak;
function foo() {
$bak = 3.14159;
After the integer conversion, you might expect both $foo and $date to evaluate to 0. However, this is not the case:
$date is an instance of Date
Notice: Object of class Date could not be converted to int in /home/kpeters/work/sketches/ObjectSketch.php on line 7
$date is now 1
$foo is an instance of foo
Notice: Object of class foo could not be converted to int in /home/kpeters/work/sketches/ObjectSketch.php on line 13
$foo is now 1
This is because the objects are first converted to boolean before being converted to int.
PHP offers a slew of built-in functions and automatic type-casting routines which can get pretty complicated. But most of the time, you still have to take matters into your own hands and allow PHP to do its thing. In that case, and something that has NOT been mentioned, is how to construct your code. To keep things simple, I divide all my scripts in half. The top half gives my scripts the "capability" they need, and the lower half is the actual code to be "run" or "executed".
* build the program's capability - define variables and functions...
$item_label = ''; // type string
$item_price = 0.0; // type float
$item_qty = 1; // type integer
$item_total = 0.0; // type float - to set use calculate()
function calculate(){
global $item_price, $item_qty, $item_total;
$item_price = number_format($item_price, 2);
$item_total = number_format(($item_price * $item_qty), 2);
function itemToString() {
global $item_label, $item_price, $item_qty, $item_total;
return "$item_label [price=\$$item_price, qty=$item_qty, total=\$$item_total]";
* run the program - set data, call methods...
$item_label = "Coffee";
$item_price = 3.89;
$item_qty = 2;
calculate(); // set $item_total
echo itemToString(); // -> Coffee [price=$3.89, qty=2, total=$7.78]
$item_label = "Chicken";
$item_price = .80; // per lb.
$item_qty = 3.5; // lbs.
calculate(); // set $item_total
echo itemToString(); // -> Chicken [price=$0.80, qty=3.5, total=$2.80]
Note: All type-casting is done by PHP's built-in number_format() method. This allows our program to enter any number (float or int) on item price or quantity in the runtime part of our script. Also, if we explicitly cast values to integer in the capability part of our script, then we start getting results that may not be desirable for this program. For example, if in the calculate method we cast item_qty to integer, then we can no longer sell chicken by the pound!
A leading zero in a numeric literal means "this is octal". But don't be confused: a leading zero in a string does not. Thus:
$x = 0123; // 83
$y = "0123" + 0 // 123
When doing large subtractions on 32 bit unsigned integers the result sometimes end up negative. My example script converts a IPv4 address represented as a 32 bit unsigned integer to a dotted quad (similar to ip2long()), and adds a "fix" to the operation.
* int_oct($ip)
* Convert INTeger rep of IP to octal (dotted quad)
function int_oct($ip) {
/* Set variable to float */
settype($ip, float);
/* FIX for silly PHP integer syndrome */
$fix = 0;
if($ip > 2147483647) $fix = 16777216;
if(is_numeric($ip)) {
$ip / 16777216,
(($ip % 16777216) + $fix) / 65536,
(($ip % 65536) + $fix / 256) / 256,
($ip % 256) + $fix / 256 / 256
else {
//This is a (simpler ?) function to return number of digits of an integer.
//function declaration
function count_digit($number) {
return strlen((string) $number);
//function call
$num = 12312;
$number_of_digits = count_digit($num); //this is call :)
echo $number_of_digits;
//prints 5
In response to the comment by me at troyswanson dot net:
-2147483648 falls into the range of 32 bit signed integers yet php treats it as a float. However, -2147483647-1 is treated as an integer.
The following code demonstrates:
var_dump(-2147483648); //float(-2147483648)
var_dump(-2147483647 - 1); //int(-2147483648)
This is probably very similar to the MS C bug which also treats -2147483648 as an UNSIGNED because it thinks it's out of the range of a signed int.
The problem is that the parser does not view "-x" as a single token, but rather as two, "-" and "x". Since "x" is out of the range of an INT, it is promoted to float, even though in this unique case, "-x" is in the range of an int.
The best cure is probably to replace "-2147483648" with "0x80000000", as that is the hexadecimal equivalent of the same number.
Hope that helps explain what's going on
- Eric / fez
Try this one instead:
function iplongtostring($ip)
$ip=floatval($ip); // otherwise it is capped at 127.255.255.255
return "$a.$b.$c.$d";
A note about converting IP addresses for storage in database. For MySQL, this is unnecessary as it has built in support via the INET functions. Also, there is no need to use BIGINT. UNSIGNED INT is, at 4 bytes, the perfect size for holding an IP (column must be defined as UNSIGNED). This can basically halve the storage size, as BIGINT is an 8 byte data type.
INET_ATON() converts a dotted IP string to INT:
INSERT table(ip) VALUES(INET_ATON('127.0.0.1'));
INET_NTOA() converts an INT to dotted IP string:
SELECT INET_NTOA(ip) FROM table
returns '127.0.0.1'
PHP_INT_SIZE seems to be 8 when it is 64 bit integers... so 8 means the number of bytes, or number of 8-bits.
If you need to convert a numeric string (or more to the point, an object that represents a numeric value) that is greater then PHP_INT_MAX, and you don't have GMP or BCMath installed, you can cast to float.
For example, when using SimpleXMLElement, you sometimes have to cast the extracted values, such as xml attributes, because they are returned as SimpleXMLElements and not their values' native types. While print() has no trouble with converting them, other functions, such as max(), might not.
But if you cast such a value with (int), and it is over PHP_INT_MAX, you will just get PHP_INT_MAX (and vice versa for negative numbers).
The Q&D no-muss solution is to cast to (float) instead.
You can make a signed, negative integer an unsigned integer (in string form) by doing the following:
$unsigned = sprintf('%u', -5);
echo $unsigned; // prints 4294967291
Integer arithmetic in PHP is more accurate than one might think. On a 32-bit system, the largest value that can be held in an INT is 2147483647.
However, a FLOAT can accurately hold integer values up to 10000000000000.
(this is because the significand precision of a double is 53-bits).

Oasis Atlantis Series Hot N' Cold Water Cooler - Black Model:504009
Usually Ships in 3 - 4 Business Days (details)
Description & HighlightsBe the first to Write a Review
Oasis Atlantis Series Black Hot N' Cold Water Cooler - 504009
The Oasis Atlantis Series (504009) Hot 'N Cold Point-of-Use Water Cooler has water heating and cooling capabilities with a contemporary look that guarantees quality, reliability, and easy serviceability. The unit's stylish rounded front design, dent and rust-resistant cabinet and stainless steel reservoirs make it great for any home or office.
Where a bottle normally enters the top of a cooler, a float assembly is fitted. A hose coming directly from your water source, which can be tap water, filtered water or RO water, is connected to the back of the float assembly, then goes down the back of the cooler and out of sight. When water is drawn, the float assembly allows water to flow back into the cooler until full, thereby providing a continuous source of water without bottle storage or spilled water.
Designed for convenience as well as safety, the unit is equipped with a dual float system (for both the cool water reservoir and hot water tank) with built-in safety float which prevents overflowing.

Jake Simmons road to the top truly started at the bottom.
The Buffalo State senior guard recently became the Bengals' all-time leading scorer, surpassing the record held by former NBA All-Star Randy Smith. "To even be mentioned in the same kind of sentence or the same anything with Randy Smith is an accomplishment in itself."
But the fact Simmons is even playing college basketball is the true accomplishment. As a teenager in Rochester, his house burned down and he was homeless for a time.
He was in foster care and had to help take care of his siblings.
His mother passed away.
And basketball took a backseat.
"Then eventually I realized that basketball was the one thing that kept me going, said Simmons. "It was the one thing that was stable; the one thing that I could control was making my own shots."
But just as Jake began pursuing college hoops, misfortune struck again.
"On top of that, when I finally decided to go back to school I ended up getting in a car accident," said Simmons. "A woman hit me and when I got in a car accident, I was really messed up. I couldn't walk for a while."
And through it all, Jake turned back to basketball when things looked bleak.
"I stayed in the gym everyday. Basketball put me through rehab, it got me back in the gym, it got me feeling good about myself again," he said. "And everybody told me, 'Jake, just get back into school, do what you gotta do because this is your way of getting out of the neighborhood. This is your way of making something for yourself. This is your way of setting an example for the kids in the community."
"We didn't want life to be just about basketball," said Bengals' head coach Fajri Ansari. "This was a vehicle for him to overcome his difficulties. And now that he's gotten to this point, you don't want to let it go."
Jake has designs on continuing his basketball career after college, possibly playing professionally overseas. He also wants to help kids learn they can overcome the odds like he did.
"Whatever it is but working on something that helps you build the skills that help you get through life," he said. "But you're using basketball as an instrument."
A blueprint for success, one shot at a time.

We are hoping to head that way in July.........
Getting more and more psyched for each post!
I would expect Lamson should be able to do all shipping, including customs direct from factory. they already have the infra-structure in place via their automated web-store . All we would have to provide would be a faxed list of shipping info for paid up
members & a check for final payment. It would be worth-while to check if we could pay online to Lamson, then all address data would already be in the data base. Just a thought
But the issue remains, Pierre and I wouldn't be able to do the QC.
I'm still in awe of how fast this has progressed, I'm really looking forward to seeing that first blank with the all finish grinding done and wearing the prototype handle.

While the $11 sabs are exciting, I have to say that this is even more so.

Report: General Motors no longer provides Tiger Woods with free cars
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Jan 14th, 2010 at 7:29AM
According to a report from USA Today, Tiger Woods no longer gets free cars from General Motors. No worries, we're pretty sure Tiger can afford to pay for his own ride anyway. The news, attributed to Buick spokesperson Dayna Hart, comes as a number of companies like Tag Heuer and Accenture have canceled advertising contracts with the star golfer. GM, though, indicates that the free car agreement was scheduled to end on December 31st and therefore isn't necessarily a result of Woods' November 27 accident outside his Florida home that led to his admission of marital infidelity.

Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, the boundary-pushing reggae band from Rochester, NY, will release its latest studio album, Steady, on September 30, in its first collaboration with independent reggae label Easy Star Records.
The bulk of the songs on Steady were recorded in 2013 with Craig Welsch of 10 Ft. Ganja Plant co-producing. Two other tracks were recorded after those sessions and added to the sequence – the title track was co-produced by Danny Kalb (The Green, Ben Harper), while live show favorite "Mr. Cop" was recorded with Matt Saccuccimorano (John Brown's Body).
"This is without a doubt the best sounding record we've ever made," says singer-bassist James Searl. "But it's also the most consistently solid set of songwriting we've done to date."
Early Praise for STEADY
"This may be one of the best sounding Reggae albums I have heard"
– The Pier
"Steady cements GPGDS as one of the most innovative and boundary-pushing reggae bands out there."
– Live For Live Music
"Steady is the equivalent of a painter putting his most inspired vision on canvas with impeccable execution."
– Top Shelf Reggae

Good King Wenceslas
Includes Digital Products
The King Who Knew the Joy of Giving
Released in 1986, this simple musical introduces kids to the medieval king whose generosity was immortalized in the carol bearing his name. But did you know that Good King Wenceslas was a Christian king in a pagan land who advanced Christianity in central Europe?
In this Classic, Kathie Hill imagines the knights and ladies-in-waiting celebrating Christmas with godly King Wenceslas. But as he concentrates on giving gifts, his selfish daughter, Princes Wences thinks only of getting them! To set an example the king takes food to a peasant leaving the friar to prepare the nativity play. As Wences reluctantly participates, she is so reminded of the greatest and most generous King that when Wenceslas returns, he finds a princess who has been changed by the Prince of Peace and gospel of Christ.
A Performance DVD (available on demand) features a music conference premiere with costume, choreography and drama demonstration.
Ages: 1st - 5th Grades
Kathie's Note: Boys relish knighthood, girls love "waiting" in long dresses and you'll love teaching songs about giving! The Director's Book includes instructions for props, costumes, movement, lighting, performance photos, study scriptures and benevolence projects to underscore memorable songs like "Be a Hee-Hee-Hee-Hilarious Giver," Everything That Is, Is His" and "It is More Blessed to Give Than Receive" (also available as Classic Singles). GKW is a simple musical to produce, but produces a powerful message.
Titles Include:
Christmas in the Castle
Be a Hee-Hee-Hee-Hilarious Giver
I Love Christmas
Everything That Is, Is His!
It is More Blessed to Give
Good King Wenceslas
Old English Carol Medley including O Sing a Song of Bethlehem, Sleep of the Child Jesus and O Come, All Ye Faithful
Give As He Gave

UnAmerican Company
Posted by
ARLINGTON, TEXAS -- We brought a new home, we needed home owners insurance, so we just stayed with the insurance already on the home. We hired a roofer to walk it to make sure it was OK, because they said it was OK. Well he disagreed so they went back and forth with him, so they agreed it was a bad roof from a hail storm, of which it should have been replaced. They waited a week and cancelled the policy without notice. We thought they were going to call and let us know that the roof would be replaced. so I say very unAmerican. THIS IS A VERY BAD, UNETHICAL COMPANY!

Here's the problem with staying with the insurance that is already on the home. There is a previous claim history. You have no knowledge of what that is but Liberty Mutual does. Even though you are the new homeowner they look at it as preexisting problems. I would dump them and shop for a new company.
This creates another problem. All previous claims on this property are on the CLUE report. This is a database that all insurance companies used to share claim history. You can't suddenly file a claim for roof damage when it has been previously reported. Your between a rock and a hard place on this one buddy. Again shop around and explain the situation. Good luck.
Nohandle on 05/11/2012:
I'm curious as to why a claim was not filed when the hail damage occurred and the roof replaced at that time. Also, am curious as to why a home inspection was not done before the purchase. Most real estate companies will guarantee a home for a certain period of time after purchase, usually a year unless it's stated: As Is. If purchasing from an individual I guess you are on your own.
Excellent information OK and food for thought. My 94 year old aunt is furious as the pounding goes on atop her roof. She's out right now $11K and her insurance won't pay a penny but claim it was due to poor workmanship replacing the prior roof about 8 years ago. I guess she signed off it was fine at the time. Oh my.
CowboyFan on 05/11/2012:
You do not technically "take over" homeowners insurance, but have your own policy. Unless there was a pending claim for the roof at the time the house was sold, the insurance company is right that any such claims were waived by the prior owner not making a claim at the time of the incident.
If there was a ding in a used car one purchased, could the new owner file a claim under the prior owner's policy for collision coverage-probably not, even if their insurance companies were the same.

Tree broken from storm no help at all
Posted by
We had a huge storm here in town and it took out power lines, tore up trees, ripped up many a table umbrella and we had people actually killed from fallen tree limbs and trees. I had a tree that was 10 ft from our home break in half and surprisingly get caught up in the tree next to it slightly so it had not hit our deck, slider, and home yet. I called to see file a claim so they could have the tree cut down and they said sorry no can do. You have to pay your full deductible and if you don't take care of it and it damages your home then we won't pay you anything for the damage because it would be your negligence. Go figure that one. So of course here we are sitting with this massive tree dangling and it could fall at any type of wind gust and we have to try to find the money to pay someone to come get it cut down.
This is our 4th time being brushed off by our liberty insurance people and it will be our last. We are switching asap to an insurance company who actually pays for repairs instead of taking our money and spending it on other things except us.

Here are two links that state unless a tree does damage to an insured building, you are responsible for removal of the tree.
I don't understand why you think you shouldn't have to pay for your deductible even if they were going to remove the tree.
Slimjim on 07/12/2011:
I don't understand. Are they saying you want them to include the deductible in their check?

Liberty Insurance company asks NYS every year for a raise and the NYS Commission gives it to them!!
I had Liberty Insurance for 7years EVERY year I got a raise. In the fifth year an ice strom bought down a huge tree on my property breaking my fence. The Tree/Fence Contractor came to $1200...Liberty only paid $900. SO what is the point of having an insurance if they don't fully cover damage?? I have been an honest person ALL my life....but, I would never deride a person who scammed the biggest scammers on the face of the planet=INSURANCE COMPANIES. It does not pay to be honest with those con artists.
OKC on 07/17/2013:
I can understand that it can be hard to swallow, but unless that tree fell on the house, deck, or fence it generally would not be covered for removal. The tree itself is generally not covered by wind damage and cutting it out would be merely maintenance. Thus, it appears there is no coverage on this particular loss and unfortunately this would not be a covered claim with most or any property insurance company.

Liberty Mutual Insurance over the top prices
Posted by
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- Wow, this company is one big rip off. For the past XXX amount of years this company ALWAYs raised my premium. I called the NY State Insurance Agency to complain, I was told it was legitimate because for the past THREE years Liberty Mutual asked for 5% raise and the NYS POLITICIANS!!!(Liberty is a donor) approved the request.
I called Liberty Mutual and requested a DECREASE. I was given the shell game answer, "Raise your deductible, and we will lower your premium."
I told them why don't they just stay with the economic climate of "no jobs or those to be had have, no living wages" and adjust the rates accordingly. "We cannot do that."
Liberty Mutual has FOUR major "Philanthropies" that THEY donate to.!!!
So, I said to the meely mouth kid, "Why don't you put me on your philanthropy list and lower my rates?" I am dead serious.
I am barely able to afford heat....I am losing my home to HIGH TAXES(I can pay my mortgage the taxes are the drain)............I qualify for philanthropy.
"Those philanthropies are for poor children."
"Oh, so you raise my premium so that you can AFFORD to give to charities to feed kids, that I did not make? I have no heat in the house, so YOU can appear magnanimous with MY money by redistributing it to IRRESPONSIBLE parents who should not make kids when they can barely feed themselves?".............The charity I was talking about was the one in VENEZUELA. That is right Liberty Mutual is taking your $$$$$ and giving it to Hugo...who cannot feed his own nation.
check it out. Link.
Liberty Mutual jacks your rates up YEARLY and gives it away in charities. REDUCING YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE and in some cases pushing YOU the customer into poverty because you cannot keep up with the rate hikes in relation to the lack of job or low paying jobs to be had here in the States.
Liberty Mutual IS IRRESPONSIBLE with the customers, here in the UNITED STATES and does not deserve to operate here. They are milking the US citizen and are "using that money" OVERSEAS by giving it away to charities, to people who breed irresponsibly and to governments who abuse their populous.
IF YOU HAVE LIBERTY MUTUAL. Send them a strong message. "Take your business elsewhere, we are not here to be milked and abused by your irresponsibility to OUR COMMUNITY by ripping us hard working taxpayers off.
Before you reach out to insurance company it is worth to pull up their sites and see what they are involved with. Had I know that Liberty Mutual is doing business with Hugo ChaVez and MY MONEY is part of this alliance I would NEVER have been any part of this company.

Wow. Someone soiled your cheerios. This is normal course of business for insurance companies. If the politicians or powers that be have approved the increases that is where your complaint lies. The insurance company is a business and is responsible to its shareholders to make a profit. As for their philanthropic efforts I applaud them. More companies could make an effort to help poor children.
Alain on 09/17/2010:
Well, I'm not surprised by Liberty Mutual taking advantage of 'charitable contributions' and buying a few politicians. They'll be able to do their purchasing of pols a little more directly and openly now considering that John Roberts and his Supreme Court majority have opened the floodgates for political contributions by corporations to implement their corporate policies. So much for my rant of the day. Thanks for your review, Connoiseur!

I don't understand this entire review. I have Liberty for my car insurance and home insurance...and my premiums have been lowered each year. There are a lot of factors that go into determining premiums...where you live, accident rates, percentage of under-insured or not insured drivers, etc. When I lived in Oregon my car ins premium doubled what I pay here in Wa.
Connoisseur on 09/22/2010:
You don't raise premiums to support your charities. Liberty Mutual benefits in tax exemptions while YOU the consumer pays for it with your premium, and YOU don't get the benefit of that tax exemption.
Trees fell due to ice. The hardworking tree guy charges $2000...for cut/removal and mending the fence. Liberty Mutual puts a limit on how much they pay for the such events. THEY NEVER indicated in the paper work in the previous years that they do not pay the price of the estimate after you pay your deductible. THIS stipulation came into vogue directly after the year that my area was struck by an ice storm. Not only did I have to pay the deductible BUT had to make up for the rest. So what is the point of paying premiums if they are NOT there for the full amount to be paid, for the restoration after the damage? The point of the deductible is to pay what YOU can....and the rest is for the insurance that you cannot.
For the tree incident I paid $500(deductible) $300 on top of that. Liberty paid $1,200. I paid just as much as Liberty. Is not the purpose of the insurance after the deductible to make up for the rest???? NOT according to Liberty. They redefined what insurance means. To them it's "We pay as little as possible." You customer pick up the rest so the SHAREHOLDERS can reap benefits, and the CEOs can make obscene salaries. Oh, and we have some bleeding heart charities that we need for tax shelters. YOU CUSTOMER support 100% of our business operations thank you. We just administer YOUR premium monies by divvying it out...with you Mr. customer as the last on the totem pole. Don't like it too bad. WE have the politicians in our pocket and will ignore your complaint of our unfair practices. Thank you sucker Mr. Customer.
Just for the record "JustCause" I am an upstanding taxpayer, played by the rules....NO MAJOR accident ever. The fender benders three in all were the other guys fault. Two speeding ticket in over twenty years.
They raised my insurance, when a dump truck in front of me had something fly into my windshiled shattering it. They raised my premium when the ice storm act of God happened. They raised my premium when the guy behind me did not stop when I stopped for the traffic in front of me. IPAID FOR EVERY INCIDENT....even if it is not my fault. THAT is slimy.
I am switching. But, why should anybody keep switching just to stay clear of slimy practices?? The truth is 85% of insurances DON'T have to have ethics. They know that insurance is mandatory so they collude in their business practices in "doing as little as possible"....with maximum demand in premiums.
Does this make sense to you? House is worth $250K. Liberty will pay $207K to replace it. How many building contractors you know that will use $207k entirely to build a house, that is worth $250K??? THEY DON'T. It takes 1/3 of that to build a house that is worth $250k on the market. The price is inflated so they can justify an $800+ yearly premium.
I live in a blue state, of the allegedly "progressive" folks. They are so progressive...the taxpayer is regressing into poverty. Oh, yes the pencil pushing administrators are definitely progressing and going up the social ladder scale on the back of the taxpayers.
The red states where predatory practices are shunned and responsible stewardship is still practiced it is possible that the rates are going down to reflect the overall economic climate of the state/nation.
jktshff1 on 09/22/2010:
All should be careful of the businesses you support. Investigate their policies and "contributions" to specific groups. There are quite a few I don't spend money with because of the "charities" they support.
Westchaser on 10/04/2010:
Oct 2010: Liberty Mutual Group has once again raised their policy holder's rate by a whopping 24% twenty-four percent, here in Florida.
This is an outrage, especially in consideration of the economy, customers who are on a reduced salary or out of work, etc. They did the same thing last year and their excuse was literally "Be glad you weren't dropped altogether," when I called to ask why the huge rate hike.

Liberty Mutual is a Fraud
Posted by
COOPERSVILLE, MICHIGAN -- Liberty Mutual Insurance,
You will find that Liberty Mutual will always be the most reasonable insurance company. There is a reason for that, try to make a claim against them.
Our experience with them was we had a house fire, and we paid extra for full replacement cost of our contents. The clothes dryer caught fire.
Well all our clothing was ruined by smoke damage. When we complained that the clothing still had a smoke smell from the fire after they dry cleaned them. They sent all my suits to the cleaners and had them wash in a washing machine along with three of my leather coats to remove the smoke smell. After that they told me that they didn't have smoke smell any more go ahead and wear them, of course these suits and leather coats were completely ruined. Then they laugh at us.
They did the same to my wife's clothing and two daughters. We had a computer that was sprayed by the fire department, they told me that it would be OK they would be kind enough to have it cleaned up. It was complete ruined. Of course the computer was on and it shorted out. Remember when a top of the line 486 computers cost $4000.00. The computer was only 6 months old at the time.
After this, Liberty Mutual sued the dryer company and collect there monies from them. I was even stupid enough to help them carry the dryer out of the basement.
If I told you all the hoops they made us jump through, you would run from that company. All the lies they told us.
Finally they said they wanted to get us off there books 5 years later. So we set up an appointment with their attorney, no one from Liberty Mutual came. Mr. Tim Mann, who was the representative of Liberty Mutual all this time, was on the speaker phone, he did not have the guts to face my family.
Well we finally agreed to a pittance of a settlement. We signed the papers in front the attorney. Mr. Mann promise a check would be in the mail the next day, it was another two years before we received that check.
Please go ahead and use this company, if you are looking a cheap price.
We found that the insurance laws of the State Of Michigan are all wrote by the insurance companies. Would you believe that the State of Michigan is happy about this? You have no recourse when you turn in a claim against any insurance company. You are at there mercy.
If you have had an experience like mine, please e-mail me. (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Not Following Texas State Statute, Texas Consumer Rights And Policy
Posted by
WEBSTER, TEXAS -- Hurricane Ike hit Texas Sept 13, 2008. As of February 1, 2009 I have not received payment on my claims from Hurricane Ike. Liberty didn't follow there policy on "Duties of Liberty Mutal" which is clearly written. They deliberately practice the policy to deny a claim which is clearly written in the policy. When you change them on their it they change their mind when forced to do so. This practice is against Texas State Statue. This is a real problem. The amounts of money they are dealing with are not huge. I am considering an attorney at this time.
The contents of the policy they write leaves a lot to be desired. I bought the policy by recommendation of my Ex Insurance Agent.
I would not buy any Liberty Mutual Products, American First Lloyd's Policys.
I am still fighting, and will not give up.
By the way I have been unable to find a customer service representative or site to file complaints.
Check your policy prior to purchasing.

Please remove me from your mailing lists and maybe save someone who is lured in to buy insurance from this co a few pennies.
When I needed auto insurance I contacted your co and was pleased with your price, then after about a year I needed home owners insurance and contacted your co again, this is where your co proved its worth, and to me is now 0. Because of life's many twists and turns, one can not always be the perfect consumer. Because of a personal matter my home owners insurance lapsed and when I contacted your co, first I was told that I could not purchase because I did not have home owners insurance, and when I contacted another one I was told I could purchase double the amount of my simple homes worth, but not what I needed, it seems like your agents at these two places in the same general area, either did not want to be bothered in the chill of winter or did not need to meet a quota of sorts for that month, so then I did find a co that would insure this totally disabled Viet Nam Veteran, now it get funny then this spring my auto insurance was running out and I was getting letters that I was going to have to pay a fee if I did not renew on time and that you would have to notify the state that I did not have insurance when by this time, I did have insurance for my auto and home but not from your firm.
I hope that some time in the future if your co is threatened from some outside force greater than your ignorance or greed I hope you can rely on your lazy, agents to keep your company free, and not have someone else to do it for you.

I'm glad you found a company that you like to serve your insurance needs. However, I hope you cancelled Liberty's coverage on your auto as soon as you obtained insurance from another source, since you were entitled to a refund of unused premiums for those months. Also, let any lien-holder know which insurance company you are now working with; my brother didn't, and the car financer arranged with the old insurance company to "renew" the policy without his okay, since they had no proof that the vehicle was insured with another company, and the note required the vehicle's insurance.

Two years later..I am feeling your pain. I just had an interesting conversation with the "manager at Liberty Mutual." It went like this.
"So you have FOUR philanthropic charities that you give to right"
"Yes, that is right."
"The definition of charity is to GIVE without anything in return. So you give money without anything in return. Is that right?"
"Yes that is right."
"So you have enough money to give away, right?"
zzzzzzzzzzzzz silence......"Well, I suppose so."
"But I was told that you raised my premium for the last three years because of all the pay out..........leaving you short. So how can you be short if you are giving away money?"
zzzzzzzzzzz silence....."Uhm, well that is different."
"If you need to make up for losses due to out payments that left you short logically there is NO money to give away. In short your agents lied about being short of money. Right?"
"Let me explain something to you the raises that you demand are not because you don't have cash...........it is because you are taking for your companies project that are FUNDED indierectly by your customers. Am I wrong, please correct me?"
Line is dead.
This company is FRAUDULENTLY HIKING YOUR RATES TO FUND PROJECTS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CUSTOMER OR THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE FOR THE CUSTOMER.
Time to contact the Attorney General as this the claim for raises is fraudulent.
You can't be short of cash if you are funding charities. This company is a scam.

How reliable is this company? How well do they handle claims? Do they pay claims?

All insurance companies have their share of complaints, as well as compliments. The best source of information is to ask your family and friends who they use for insurance coverage. Make sure to ask if they have ever had a claim, and how it was handled. You may also want to ask about any unsatisfactory issues with insurance companies, but usually family and friends will be honest assessors of their experiences.

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA -- After the City of Sacramento changed their flood zones, my home no longer needed flood insurance.
I called Liberty Mutual to inform them; of course they never took care of it, tho' they said that they did. I had already thrown out the letter from whatever agency (I no longer remembered who they were) when Liberty Mutual called to tell me that they needed the letter faxed to them (they waited 2 weeks to discern this).
The woman I originally spoke with told me she had taken care of the problem. So, I had to contact my mortgage company to get another copy of the letter.
So far, I've faxed this to Liberty Mutual 3 times since February (it's now 5/30). No response, but they sure are still charging me for flood insurance (which costs as much as regular house insurance).
I will probably be buying another house next year, at which time I'll be switching to another insurance company. Since I also have this nightmare excuse for a business for my car insurance as well, I may just do the extra work now to transfer out of Liberty Mutual's rat's nest.
Resolution Update 08/25/2007:
It *only* took them 6 months (for which I ended up paying over $350 for flood insurance that I didn't need) to finally take me off their books. "Resolved" is one way of putting it, if "resolved" means that I was cheated out of $350.

Check with the lending bank. The bank may still want the protection and can force you to get the flood insurance.

text: 5 A well designed exercise programme... but its not a game!SiScott | 19/02/2011 | See all SiScott's reviews (98)Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Mobile Reviewer First off... this is NOT a game.. so if you buy this thinking "this will be fun"... it wont be. This is designed to push you, make you sweat and ache and sometimes hurt.Anyway... as a TOOL to help you exercise, workout, tone up and burn calories.. it does the job.I've worked my way through about 2 weeks of a 9 week programme so far and I'm impressed. I'm not an exercise expert at all and obviously a programme on the PS3 will never replace going to a real Gym, but as an alternative its impressive.It does what it says on the box and helps idiots like me do an automated workout 4 days a week, for about 30 minutes a time.You wont get fancy graphics or astounding sound or interface here, but it all doe the trick. Although to be honest.. the menu system is a bit slow and there is a lot of "loading" stuff and having to click "OK" to proceed. It can feel excessive.But you wont be using this for prolonged amount of time each day. Its a case of put the disc in, get set up, do your workout and then collapse until the next day.The programme basically asks you to set up a character, putting in age, weight, height and appearance and then off you go!It asks if you want to do a 9 or 3 week programme of exercise, over 4 days a week (which you can choose) and then it starts.You then set up the 3 body sensors (one right arm, one left arm and one on your left), plug in the USB dongle and you get started.When you start the workout, you get around 28-33+ exercises to do, which take around 30 minutes to complete. Covering upper, core, lower or full body.You also get a resistance band which does the job; but Ive personally bought my own set of hand weights to replace it. You have an option ingame to tell it you are using either a resistance band or weights and it changes the animaton accordingly,However, for some reason, it does the weights in 1.5kg, 2.5kg and 3.5kg. But there is no reason you have to use exact weights measurements as the game states. I use a 2kg hand weight pair and it works fine.You also have the ability to make you own, personalised workout, to aim for certain body areas. I set one up for the upper and core areas, but be warned... you have to be careful.I made a personalised workout which was toooo much for me and I learned to ease it down. You get a choice of 3 workout levels:The easy one is 5 reps I think (never tried it), the next is 10 reps and the highest is 15 reps per exercise. Trust me when I say that 10 reps is enough for most people. 15 reps can be hard if you are doing a lot in one set,The sensors for the most part work great. They arent perfect and do occasionally miss-read your body. This can be an issue if you are holding 2kg weights in your hands and it doesnt recognise that you are straining yourself with full stretched arms.But 95% of the time they work!Theres nothing really bad with this programme as it does exactly what you need it do. The sensors work, the resistance band is use-able and the automated workout sessions are great,But you probably will find that you run out and spend more money on weights and maybe even an exercise mat. This isnt a cheap option.It also has charts, data, a calender and lots of other stuff to track your calorie burns, heart-rate health and so on. Over-all... I would recommend this, but keep in mind its a serious programme and not a game to just mess about with.

The last time we saw Robbie and Jayvo, they were all hugs. Did the love last? Do Ryan Eternal and Mark Longenecker still have beef? We check in with the rivals.
Ty'Esha says she's just plain better than Emily as an artist, and can't believe she got eliminated before her. Emily defends herself by…well, pulling Josh into the fight. Well done, 'ink mistress'.
After 35 hours of painstaking hard work, Jason, Cleen, and Erik take a deep breath and finally unveil their work to the judges and all of America. Let the critiques begin.
Mark was up for elimination more times in this season than anyone in all of Ink Master – yet managed to hold on until the bitter end. Did he have the heart of a lion or just a streak of good luck?
Every drop of ink paid off for the very talented Jason Clay Dunn as he finally stakes his claim, earning the title of 'Ink Master' and taking home $100,000.
The first round of elimination tattoos begins as the artists are given just 5 hours to ink human canvases with decorative trimming tats. James already has a non-jolly client.
Past Ink Master favorites James Vaughn, Tatu Baby, Sausage, and Jime Litwalk return for a chance to win $10k just in time for the holidays.
Jime steps out of his newschool norm and pushes the boundaries with his decorative trimming tattoo while Sausage stresses over his canvas' choice of design.
Tattooing against Tommy Montoya was undoubtedly intimidating, but ol' Cleen wasn't afraid to give the black and grey guru a harsh critique of his own.
Aaron just couldn't catch a break this season with canvases that were writhing in pain, shaking uncontrollably, and in this one extreme case, passing out.

Nice cant wait, we will be doing this boss tonight as well as Thorim.
Hope to see Thorim one up soon if we dont down it tonight ourself .
Good Luck rest of Ulduar keep up great work with the video's there REALLY helpfull!
Note: I failed to mention Sunbeam. This is an attack which Freya occasionally casts that hits the player and surrounding targets. It is relatively trivial. Also, I said the Fury debuff while Ancient Conservators are alive was easy to heal through; while this is the case, it's certainly not a bad idea to run out of it if you can easily get another mushroom or if you've got the whole raid on top of you.
We'd like to have Mimiron and Thorim done tonight (thus ready for Wednesday morning viewing). Mimiron may be up during raid time tonight for most US guilds so be sure to tab out and check if you clear straight to him.

Hello Ciderhelm, I wanted to ask.
If I could get your permision to use your guides on our guildwebsite posting your videos and strat guides link'd into our site, Provided that I put copy rights with Tankspot.com and enable link going to your site for more provided help
I understand if I can't to any reason, I just want to ask permison before any taken steps.
Thankyou verymuch Ciderhelm, Tankspot and you make my guild progression so much easier XD!
Freya was one of my favourite fights this week raiding the new instance (10man). Not that its extremely difficult, be my team and I went in there with practically no knowledge of the fight, and we worked out everything ourselves.
One of the things I enjoyed most was improvising every time a new add spawned, and then trying to figure out what they were doing and how to combat it. It only took us about 4 tries to work out our strat and subsequently kill her.
Lucky me, I got the tanking helmet (bulk expertise!) and T8.0 gloves from her treasure chest.
Just a quickie (the best kind!)
The TankSpot Banner and such are missing from the youtube as of this post.
just fyi!

Hm.. how would this work at 10 man? When those 3 adds come? a 10 man would usually just have 2 tanks.
oh..well hopefully it would stack with Conc shot. haha.
We 10man, 1 shot with 2 tanks. With the 3 adds, tank whatever you can, burn it all. Ranged and melee should know to kite if they get aggro from a specific type of add.
As important as Freya is her trash!
The small flower packs: Separate the large flower by any means possible from the smaller ones, shockwave small ones and kite the large one with earthbind/frost trip works well (small flowers are untankable). Purge/dispel large flower. Once large flower is dead, its GG on small flower.
4 packs aren't bad, just use as much CC as possible - sleep, repent, trap, sap, fear, etc. Face dragons away from the raid.
2 Packs with large tree - Seperate large tree from the nymph - burn nymph. Once nymph is dead the large tree needs to be taunted off due to a movement debuff placed on the tank.
First Elder, right side on entrance - As he gains ironfist and crushes bones he moves slowly, he should be kited when this happens (tank swaps don't work!)
Back right elder, tank & spank as far as I could tell
Back left elder, move him out of the sunbeams and keep DPS on him.
I apologize if this is mentioned in the video, I can't watch it at work! Oh, and Freya's aggro radius is HUGE! We missed our 'undying esque' achievement because he puller her on trash
Can't wait to try it out! How many times did you guys attempt this before you got it right?
Gertiploiss, the tank without a cause or reason.
My guild downed her in 10 man last night and our stategy for the group of 3 was to ff the storm lasher and the water spirit down to about 10% each, then ff the snaplasher until it was dead and then to aoe the remaining 2 down. It took a few attempts before everyone was able to do this correctly but after everyone got it down it was a very reliable way of bringing all three down without having to kite the snaplasher around.
An interesting note is that in 10 man the snaplasher doesnt necessarily have to be kited. Once the debuffs get stacked up a tank can keep it basically frozen in place by using aoe attacks while out of melee range from it.

Associated Press
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- The call from faculty members and politicians to oust top Rutgers University administrators grew louder Thursday, a day after men's basketball coach Mike Rice was fired for mistreating players, shoving them and berating them with gay slurs.
More than 50 faculty members signed a letter calling for the dismissal of Athletic Director Tim Pernetti and an explanation from President Robert Barchi for why he didn't fire Rice last year when he learned of a video showing Rice's behavior during practices.
State Senate President Stephen Sweeney also called for Pernetti to step down or be fired. He said Pernetti deserves credit for getting Rutgers into the Big Ten conference but mishandled this situation.
"This incident will continue to hang over Rutgers like a dark cloud for weeks, months and perhaps years to come," the Democrat said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the number of faculty members calling for Barchi to step down more than doubled Thursday to 28.
The letter calling for Barchi's resignation was sent to the university's governing boards on Wednesday. In it, the faculty members cite Barchi's "inexcusable handling of coach Mike Rice's homophobic and misogynist abuse" of players, his "pattern of insensitivity and arrogance toward issues of diversity" and the "lack of transparency that he has exhibited in his relations" with faculty, staff and students.
It's unclear what effect the calls might have on the president or the athletic director. Neither was willing to be interviewed by The Associated Press. Barchi also skipped a town hall meeting he'd been scheduled to attend Thursday at Rutgers' Newark campus and declined to comment when he left his office. Members of the university's two governing boards have been mum.
Barchi, a neuroscience researcher before he became a university administrator, was hired a year ago and took office Sept. 1 to lead the university, which has 58,000 students and 13,000 faculty members on three campuses. He had been president of Thomas Jefferson University, a Philadelphia health sciences university, and before that was an administrator at the University of Pennsylvania.
He was brought to Rutgers as the university takes over two medical schools that are part of the separate University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The ongoing reconfiguration of the state's higher education system is intended to expand Rutgers' life-science research prowess, and Barchi was chosen largely to oversee that.
He had never been an administrator, though, at a school with athletic scholarships.
Over the past decade, Rutgers' athletic program has grown increasingly ambitious and expensive, largely as the university's football team transformed from an also-ran to a power in the Big East conference. The school's teams are set next year to join the more prestigious Big Ten, a move engineered largely by Pernetti, a former TV sports executive.
Shortly after Barchi took office, he told reporters that high-profile sports teams are an important way to increase the university's visibility but that he wanted to gradually reduce the university's operating subsidy for sports, currently about $8 million per year, while continuing to pay for scholarships for athletes at a cost of about $10 million annually.
Barchi said in a statement Wednesday that Pernetti told him last year about the video of Rice made by a former basketball program employee, but he said he did not watch the video until Tuesday, the day it was made public. A university spokesman declined to comment on why Barchi didn't watch the video last year.
In December, after the university consulted lawyers and commissioned an independent report on Rice's actions, Barchi said he agreed to suspend the coach for three games, fine him and order him to anger management counseling.
He said that when he saw the video, he realized that Rice needed to be removed.
The faculty members calling for Barchi to step down said in their letter that he knew enough to remove the coach months ago.
"Although President Barchi is now suggesting otherwise, he has known about Coach Rice's homophobic, misogynist and abusive behavior for several months now," the letter said.
Ron Becker, head of special collections and university archives at Rutgers, said he believes the handling of the situation needs to be reviewed.
"The value of sports and the Division I atmosphere often trumps some of the basic needs of the university," he said. "The pressure to win and succeed at athletics seems to trump (academics) around here."
The university's student government association also released a statement saying that Rice deserved to be fired. It said it intended to work with Barchi and Pernetti "to ensure that incidents like this never happen again."

There were top ten places in qualifying in Montreal for Jean-Eric Vergne, Adrian Sutil, Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo...
Toro Rosso:
Jean-Eric Vergne: "It was not an easy session and at one point I thought I wouldn't even make it out of Q1! But we managed to improve a couple of things on the car and that helped. Generally, I feel comfortable in the wet, but that wasn't the case today. The car wasn't exceptional, but we got the most out of it I think. It was tough driving out there, but in the end it worked as is clear from the fact I got seventh place on the grid. It's my best ever F1 qualifying, but I'm not going to be jumping for joy over a seventh place, as there are no points given out on Saturday. We still have the main part of the job to do tomorrow, when I will be trying to at the very least maintain this position and even do better. I'm a racing driver so I always want to go forward. It will be a difficult afternoon in very different conditions, but our long run pace was good yesterday so that's a reason to be optimistic."
Daniel Ricciardo: "The conditions were very difficult this afternoon, everything you can think of - wet, damp, greasy, oily...so we never really got going and we were quite lucky to make it into Q3 as I was never really comfortable or happy with the car on the intermediate tyre. I think there was an element of luck with me getting into the top ten today. If it's dry tomorrow, I feel we can move forward up the order as I think that there are a few guys in front of us, who won't have that pace in the dry so I'm definitely hoping the rain holds off tomorrow. However, I am happy that both Toro Rossos are in the top ten, which is a great achievement for the team."
Force India:
Adrian Sutil: "I'm quite happy with eighth place. It was a tough qualifying session and very hard to judge the conditions. Some parts of the track were wet and other areas were dry, so it was difficult to know how much to push. I also struggled to get the heat in the tyres, so it was not easy to get it altogether for one lap. The most important lap for me was just after the red flag: we all queued up at the end of the pit lane - a bit like a race start - and I knew I had one chance to make Q2. Fortunately it worked out well for me."
Paul di Resta: "It's very frustrating to be starting in P17 so we need to sit down and analyse exactly what happened. Something went wrong with the seamless shift software during my first run in Q1 and when I came in the team tried to fix it. It was only a small issue, but we lost valuable time trying to find a solution. Meanwhile the track was getting faster and faster. By the time I had got back out it was raining again and therefore we missed the track at its best. There's not much you can do in that situation, but it's a massive disappointment given how competitive the car was yesterday. I'll try and take the positives because you can overtake on this track and the car is strong. We need to come up with a masterplan tonight and I will be pushing hard tomorrow."
Lotus F1:
Kimi Raikkonen: "We didn't have grip in these conditions so we did pretty much all we could do, but if there's no grip you can't go faster. In this weather it's difficult as sometimes the rain gets harder, sometimes the track is drying so you have to try to be out there when the circuit's at its best. P9 on the grid is not what we want so we'll have to see what we can do in the race tomorrow."
Romain Grosjean: "Clearly not the best day, and of course with the grid penalty I now start in what should be P29 for the race, which is a long way back! After we changed to new intermediates mid-way through the session I had one lap to set a time when the track was at its driest, but there were yellow flags after someone went straight on so I had to slow down and respect the warning. Then the track was too wet to go faster. We got caught out a little bit by the weather but it's nobody's fault; just yet more bad luck. In these conditions it's impossible to predict when the rain will be at its heaviest and we didn't see anything from the radar to suggest it would get worse. It's going to be a long race from the back, but we know the car is quick so our weekend is far from over yet."
Nico Hulkenberg: "It was really bad luck today. I was on a good lap and could have made Q3, but then the red flag came out 200 metres before the finish line. But I think, after a difficult day yesterday, today we improved quite a bit and P11 is not too bad to start from - it's close to the points. According to the weather forecast it's going to be dry and warmer than it has been all weekend. We have to wait and see how competitive we can be."
Esteban Gutierrez: "The conditions today were very tricky. I was trying to find the limit of the car, and getting grip was difficult. A red flag interrupted Q2, and then it was quite a challenge to put a lap together. Although FP3 was shortened, we were able to get an idea of what would be possible in qualifying. We are pushing the window to the top 10 and we need to keep fighting for Q3. For the race tomorrow we are not sure about the weather, but I suppose it's going to be dry. This can be good for us, because we decided on a low downforce set-up. Hopefully this will help us to overtake."
