My 5 Favorite DnD Classes
5) Fighter: Yep, I know many consider the Fighter one of the underpowered classes in 3.5, especially at higher levels, but since many of our games were 7th-8th level and below, the Fighter tended to be a really good choice for those who hadn't played the game before (along with #3 on this list). And I love those fighter feats.
4) Scout: The Scout is a bit of an odd duck--a little rogue, a little ranger--but watching as one of them led a party completely around an enemy army, causing confusion, sowing chaos, and avoiding capure, all while expertly navigating the surrounding wilderness--well, I'm a believer. This is a class that isn't going to win any awards for combat power, but its definitely my favorite class out of the Complete Adventurer and that line of supplements.
3) Sorcerer: I continually go back and forth on Vancian magic, but even though he was usually a bit behind in 3.5 vs. the Wizard when it came to spell selection, I really enjoyed the sorcerer's flexibility and spontaneity in casting. I didn't enjoy the d4 Hit Die, but I think the other real reason I enjoyed this class is that I used it as a base for a Wild Mage.
2) Cleric: Clerics can be powerful characters, but the real reason I enjoy clerics is getting to roleplay different religous beliefs and whatnot. Its a blast to have this character who should be living by a certain code or set of strictures, only to have his beliefs challenged over the course of adventuring career. And with as many deities as there are out there for D&D, its also easy to choose an obscure or amusing sect, or create your own.
1) Bard: Here's where I come out as an unabashed lover of the Bard, one of the classes I see trashed the most at ENWorld and various other message boards. And there are a couple folks in my gaming circle who are going to hate the fact I even have this class on my list. But I like skill monkeys, I like being able to have a high Bluff and Diplomacy set of skills, and I like the spontaneous magic aspect of his arcane casting. And although you won't see many of my bards on the front lines strumming a lute while everyone else fights, you will see many as an orator, inspiring their comrades and blasting defiance towards the enemy.
I'd love to see everyone else's choices, whatever edition or editions it may be, either here or on your own site!

All Hail the Bard!
Let's see, as my favorite five, from best to least
1. Bard - My induction into the Realms helped secure this class as my #1
2. Fighter - There's just something fun in playing a Gleaming God of Tankage. That and my very first character ever was a fighter.
3 - 5. These spots are open for debate. I've been a GM for about 98% of my gaming career. So I don't often get to play most other classes to be able to say how I'd rank them.

I'm gonna have to think on this one. I played Rogues more than anything, but I was always drawn to the (3.5e) druid. It seemed like every campaign I tried to play one in nosedived. Maybe someday...

I played a polearm scout in the last 3.5 campaign I was in. He was a lot of fun.

Arbitrarily limited to D&D 3.5, my top five classes, in no particular order:
Beguiler: More skills than anyone else in the game. Great list of spells that lacks direct-damage, forcing creativity. Makes a better Jack-of-all-trades than a Bard.
Druid: I like the archetype. I like shapechanging. The druid gets good skills, and is mainly self-contained. A well-rounded class that can go in multiple directions.
Warblade: The Book of Nine Swords subsystem took a bit to grow on me, but it did. The warblade is the most straightforward class in there. To me, it is everything that the fighter should have been, but wasn't... quite.
Scout: Skills! Yay. The scout presents itself as a nature-based class, but you don't need to play it that way. It is more versatile than that. My last character was almost going to be a scout who was a city-based courier/messenger type.
Duskblade: I love me a good fighter-mage.

Psionicists, Bards, Wild Mages are the top 3 for sure. Looking back, I've had a penchant for playing Fighters and Paladins too, so they would round out my top 5.
- March 12, 2009 at 12:22 PM
- Zachary The First said...
@szilard: No need to limit it to any edition, if you don't want! Good list, though! I never played a Beguiler, but always wanted to. Seemed like a good fit for the characters I like.
@dave: Psionicists! I wasn't sure if anyone would mention them or not. My most recent groups have not enjoyed psionics. :(

I'll have to do a shout out for Paladin, especially given all the fuss I just had over them on my blog.
I don't think they've ever been done right in D&D although they were done best in 1st edition. But love the concept.
After that, it's Wizard- but only after house ruling away pre-memorized spells...

1. Fighter (in all editions except 3rd; where I wept a lot for what happened to this stalwart mainstay)
2. Wizard - wizards and fighters were about all I ever played back in the day, just as often fighter/wizard
3. Fighter/wizard (again, not in 3e) a favorite past choice and one that 4e does well again. And from 1st level.
4. Specialist Priest (of 2e, in FR games) - I really liked making clerics very different according to their gods. Working on my homebrew during this era, I enjoyed fleshing out the worlds religions using this model as well.
5. Warlocks (3rd and 4th, obviously) - a class that should have been with us much longer. The warlock just oozes flavor and I enjoy playing them and even more DMing for them and making that dark pact really mean something. :)
- March 12, 2009 at 1:24 PM
- Frostbeard said...
I loved the Dark Sun setting (was I the only one?) back in the days of 2e. Elemental Clerics, Defilers, Preservers, Templars and Psionicists.
- March 12, 2009 at 5:49 PM
- Mark Gedak said...
1. Bard - Halfling Bard that plays the cymbals to be precise.
2. Psion - psychometabolic, dwarf
3. Binder/Sorcerer - Raquelle from my West to the Empire game, also the host to a psionic entity, absolutely crazy and erratic.
4. Cleric - human, pain/suffering
5. Totemist - duskling
I never play: fighters, paladins, monks.

Thief and Paladin...Bard and Monk...meh...Ranger? Yeah, I will go with those 5...

Tough choice, here, but I went ahead and picked one from each edition I've played since I started. In no particular order:
1. Dwarf (BECMI/Cyclopedia D&D). Like the fighter, including eventual access to the fighter combat options that were later introduced. But cooler.
2. Monk (1e). Started my long-running habit of blending wuxia elements into my fantasy, and I liked it better than the BECMI Mystic.
3. Specialty Priest (2e). For the first time, a cleric was more than the vanilla healer/support character. Some of the kits really broadened the range of what the cleric might do. They didn't fully achieve that until 3e, but the 2e class gets the nod because it was first, and it got me to replace all generic clerics in my game world with priests.
4. Beguiler (3.5e). More roguish than the rogue, more fun with spontaneous casting than the sorcerer, a better knavish jack-of-all-trades than the bard. The clever, silver-tongued con-artist is one of my favorite archetypes, and this class suits it perfectly.
5. Warlord (4e). The warlock was up there for its flavor, but I just love what warlords do. A combat runs completely differently with one around, because they change the face of the battle in so many little ways. And they fulfill the leader functions while feeling entirely different than a cleric. I love these guys.

The Bard is an enigma to me, I can't understand why everyone loves this class. Of all the deadly and magical characters, why would so many choose a dork with a guitar?!
Is it due to old schoolers who grew up playing "The Bard's Tale"? Or maybe they remember the character from "The Hobbit" who's name was Bard(wasn't actually a bard at all)? I guess it's one of lifes mysteries. ;)
- March 17, 2009 at 2:09 PM
#1 WIZARD Fun from first lvl to arch mage. Mages rule the multiverse and do it with style.
#2 FIGHTER What is best in life? to see your enemies driven before you,to here the laminations of there women.
#3 THEIF Who doesnt love a sneaky little bastard.
#4 SORCERER The more unbalanced the better.
#5 Eric Grimstead undefinable as a class, race, or alignment. What does Eric do? He kicks ASS thats all he do!!!!!!!
- September 7, 2009 at 5:17 PM
1 Wizard Unlimeted power
2 Sorcerer no books needed
3 Rogue self reliant
4 Scout rogue of the forest
5 Fighter no two are ever alike

I feel a great need to list my two favorite classes (really the only two I play with any frequency)
First up is sorcerer, I have some fond memories of my first sorcerer (being a noob at the time I chose half-orc for race, the irony being that he ascended to godhood)
And then my all time favorite class can be accurately described with two words said whenever combat starts: "I rage." The barbarian, entering combat greatax swinging and soaking up more damage than a sponge dropped into the ocean. There is something about beating anything that moves senseless that appeals to me that can only be matched by the love of making something go boom (taken care of by the sorcerer).
The only thing better than either a barbarian or a sorcerer is a multiclass barbarian/sorcerer with a few levels in the spellsword prestige class.

I have to say..
1: Bard, I love the bard in 3.5, always have, always will. Though my group usually let me get away with using my voice as a speaker instead of a singer when performing. I tended to play my bard as a lower noble instead of the classical bard. Worked great!
2: Cleric, one of my all time favorite characters was a cleric wearing spiked mail dual weilding warhammers.
3: Sorcerer, the variety in this class and the general uniqueness of it made it fun for me, though I have to admit that it's closely tied with #4.
4: The fighter, I've played alot of fighters and I usually end up as the muscle in the group. Best weapons, a halberd and a spiked chain!

- Ben said...
Swashbuckler (Complete Warrior) is the best class ever. d10, max base attack bonus, good saves and the coolest abilities ever. I love starting as a human- at level three, you can get monkey grip, then for the rest of the game you dual wield falchions.
- January 27, 2011 at 2:15 AM
Actually, Monkey Grip doesn't let you wield a two-handed weapon in one hand. All it does is allow you to wield a large one-handed weapon in one hand; so you could wield a large longsword with your main hand (oh, by way, Monkey Grip is only usable for the main hand).
My favorites were always:
1. Fighter: versatile and a whole bunch of options.
2. The Rogue: like the fighter, but focused on skills. The greatest thing about both classes is the high level of customization.
3. The Beguiler: way to cool to forget it. Rogue with illusion and enchantments? Just to suitable in almost every campaign setting.
4. The Sorcerer: simple and plain blast. Elegantly destructive.
5. The Bard: fun with the tipical archetype or curious with other backgrounds.
- December 19, 2011 at 11:17 AM
I've played D&D for over a decade now and I've played many characters and at this point I don't limit myself to straight builds. I'm a multiclasser all the way. But if I have to choose classes for what they are worth, I'll give my 2 cents:
5. Cleric; people underestimate the power of this bad boy every time. You can do SO much with a cleric that it baffles me to see people bash them. I've had a cleric in my party that worshipped Kord and wielded 4 greatswords via monkey grip and a cleric transmutation spell that makes you more like a gollarion. You can tank, you can heal, you can buff, you can make armies of summoned creatures or undead minions, or you can be on the front lines with some of the nastiest touch attacks in the game. I've even seen a light armored, scythe wielding monster that decapitated foes after casting darkness on them, and ebon eyes on himself. Clerics should never be underestimated especially in the minds of creative players.
4. Fighter; HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I read fighters being underpowered and I had to laugh for a second. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Fighters are some of the most devastating front line combatants in the game. Why you ask? Because of feats. They gain so many feats that it's unreal. Yes, they have a gap after level 4, but you should never EVER think that leaves them short. Wizards of the coast did that very much on purpose because they are that strong. They get feats around 17th level that make it so they can attack twice on a standard attack, gain an extra attack with a favored weapon, attack normally when grappled with a favored weapon, auto confirm critical hits, and make cu da gras as a free action. On top of which, a fighter is an item whore. They are only good with items, but what luck! The whole point of the game is to get gear and gold to get better anyways. Having a +5 vorpal weapon, rings of deflection and armor, armor of major fortification, boots of speed, and cape of resistance and you are so ready to throw down on any beast in your path. Did I forget to mention that fighters are capable of using scrolls? Oh yeah, fighters can use scrolls, and wands, and staves, and any magic item in the game if you build them right. Screw being a wizard. Be a fighter. More life, more damage, more attacks, more armor, more murder, and magic to boot as long as you have the cash to do it.
- May 4, 2012 at 8:23 AM
3. Bard; I love bards. I've loved them ever since I got my hands on one thinking I was going to be a skill monkey. What I found out is that they are EXTREMELY powerful early game and with the right build, never let up. They have some of my favorite casting in the game and they are free to cast in light armor with no spell penalties. Medium mithral armor anybody? Sleep is very over looked in games and people forget that if you get your enemies to sleep, they are done. That's free instant kills (Cu da gras) for your party. Not to mention they get a bit of everything. They are a support class, so they can buff your party, or debuff your foes, they can support heal, buff, or put status effects all over the place for some serious crowd control and they can do this WITHOUT specializing. Also, bards can totally be on the front lines. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You just have to be ballzy enough to know you are not the biggest threat and there lies the enemys' fault. Grab a long spear using bard one day and let loose your songs of discord and your whirling spear that hums to your murderous tune. Also, bards are one of the most fun classes to play because they offer so much in the roleplaying aspect. Seeing how it's a roleplaying game, I see no reason to continue.
- May 4, 2012 at 8:26 AM
2. Rangers; I swear to Kord, if I ever have to hear someone say, "Rangers are just archers right?" I will bitch slap them through the internet. Yes rangers can use range... but that is not why they are called rangers. Rangers traverse the lands. They are the definition of explorers and can lead the party to any destination with their tracking and unreal survival skills. Also, Rangers ARE the best dual wielders in the game without question. No fighters are not. Yes fighters can have all the feats they want but that will never make them better. What people forget is that taking feats requires ability score prerequisites and the fighter... unless your dm is dumb and decides a 100 point distribution for your scores is reasonable... will fall short in one category or another. the chances of one character having 21 dexterity for the dual wielding feats, and high strength for damage is very very unlikely. If he somehow manages this, he will fall short in health, and speech skills, and his will save (which is game over for most scenarios), and did I mention the fighter has crappy skill point count? Oh I didn't? Well it doesn't matter because with a low intelligence, you might as well have no skill points. Rangers on the other hand, get ALL the dual wielding feats without worrying about the prerequisites. You may now pump strength and constitution and you are ready to slaughter foes by the dozens. I laugh at those poor fighters that get whirlwind. I just use a full attack with hasted weapons and become a blur of steel and blood. (for those of you who don't know, you can get 9 attacks with a hasted ranger that duals.) They also get camouflage and hide in plain sight for extra flavor. Rangers are also very very capable of using a bow even when they use dual w because they have a fighter bab. You can be the master of hidden combat that leaves no trace except the destroyed enemies that crumble in your path. They also get a companion for flavor that most people think can hold its own, but that's not really feasible because they are 4 levels under you at all times. They can however help you roleplay, fit roles in your group you might be lacking, or my personal favoriite... a personal flanker. That's right people, you just became your own best friend, and the rogues favorite companion to adventure with. Send your little wolf to bite the ankles of your rogue's target and it will be nothing but sneak attacks all day. Ask for you, you get a +2 to your attack. Haha fighter, I didn't have to specialize in anything to get my bonuses. :p Oh I did leave something out. Favored bonuses... ah yes, favored bonuses. WTF Wizards!? I love and hate you for this. This is with out a doubt one of the most busted melee abilities in the game. Lets say I take dragon and my bonuses are +10 to hit and to damage. Did I mention I attack 9 times with a full attack on my dual wielding ranger? I believe so, and there is one very very dead dragon. minimum 90 damage, not including strength bonuses, not including minimum weapon damage. I've gotten 200 damage in one round against a favored enemy and he collapsed like a lump of boiled broccoli. True story. They also get spells, and with the addition of spell compendium, they are ferocious little bastards. They even get a spell that allows them to make a ranged attack against every target within range, should ammunition allow it, or they can make a full round attack against every target within melee range... did I say 9 attacks... how about 36?
- May 4, 2012 at 8:28 AM
1. Paladin: If you nubs don't understand just how busted a paladin is, then I'm sorry for your foolishness. They have the MOST health in the game, end story. They can fight armies, end game, solo and his party members can be free to drink their coffee and joke as he does so. They have a fighter's bab, a fighter's health, spells, AMAZING saves that trample the monks, and are divine casters so they can wear armor for days. With divine grace at second level, they add their charisma to ALL saves. Seeing how you can stack a cloak of res on this, you pretty much can survive anything end game. You want to watch a full plated man dodge through a wave of fireballs and lighting bolts? You ever wanted to laugh as you could care about any poison what so ever... not to mention disease? (Pallys are immune.) Have you ever wanted to pick your nose to an instant death spell? If your answers to all the questions were yes, then be a paladin. They don't give two shits about anything except their god and upholding the faith. "But what about weapons? They can still hurt him!" PWAHAHAHAHAHA... pfffft the paladin does care about your weak +5 weapon. Unless you can kill him in a single attack, you are out of luck my friend. A Pally can use lay on hands back to back to back to back to back to back to back. Whats even better is he can use it EVERY round as a swift action on himself and take another full round attack on you. Should you be lucky to critical, he can just use a swift action lay on hands, followed by a standard action lay on hands on himself. You just lost your lead. You will die, one on one with a paladin. You can't win unless you have a HUGE stroke of luck, and in which case the Paladin will merely laugh and say, "If my god wills it..." You even lose in killing him. With feats however, you can make it so a pally heals DOUBLE the amount with his lay on hands. That's twice as bad for you my evil doing friends, so beware. They can see all evil alignments which is amazingly cool from a roleplaying aspect. They have a code of conduct which will give you great hooks in adventures. They have fantastic roleplaying ability with countless perspectives that can warp the direction of your play style all from selecting a deity. By the way... speaking of which. A Paladin must be lawful good... but yet he can worship any god he wants... like an evil god. In his eyes, is murdering whom his god, Nerull, justifies as an act that must be done NOT lawful nor good? A clever player can argue you this till the ends of time. The possibilities on this class is limited by your imagination. If you or a friend has made a paladin that wasn't very good, or just generally annoying, then you just are doing it wrong.

text: Classic-styled funk from Alex Puddu – not only the greatest record we've heard from him so far, but a set that's definitely worthy of its "golden age" claim in the title! The music is all new, but it was done for a series of short Danish porno films from the 70s – and Puddu gets a sound that's right on the money for the vintage – loads of great short funky soundtrack modes that are perfect for the time – handled with tight rhythms, great basslines, and some wicked jazzy solos that really send the whole thing home. Puddu plays a range of instruments – including electric sitar – in a group that also features some great Fender Rhodes, organ, sax, and flute – and the tunes are really wonderful throughout – like finding a lost soundtrack from the 70s that never got issued as an album. Titles include "Kinky Hairdresser", "Miss Butterfly", "Madam Delight", "Sex Bar", "Lusty Nurses", "Black Triangle", "Naughty Girls At The Wild Party", "The Dirty Games Of Dr Love", and "Piano For Lovers". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Katie Howard, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Old Hollywood glamour paired with Washington's more conservative look will be the essence of the evening wear spotted at inaugural balls and Washington area parties.
Peplums, color and Grecian goddess one-shoulder necklines will be popular among women ballgoers, and slim cut tuxedos with a pop of color are on tab for the men, according to area stylists.
Lauren Matthews, a personal stylist in Washington with Style for Hire, works with both women and men. She says the looks worn at Sunday's Golden Globes awards are good predictors of what party-goers will wear at inaugural events this weekend.
Nancy Reagan red, white and navy blue
"This year there is a lot of red -- from bright red to crimson red," Matthews says. "The color works for a lot of women with different skin tones."
Red is flattering for many women, and it makes a statement when entering a room so accessories can be more minimal, she adds.
Matthews says she is also seeing a lot of nude and blush tone color dresses made with lace, silk, taffeta and chiffon, and the trend is a "nod to old Hollywood 20s and 30s style but with an added modern flair."
She says shift-style dresses with beading, lace and jewel details could make an appearance during Inauguration events.
"It's a style flattering on a lot of women and not specific to any season," she says.
Another complimentary look and trend for women that has made its way from sportswear to evening wear are peplums. Matthews says the flounced material slenderizes waistlines and creates curves or an hour glass look.
Lauren Rothman, founder of fashion consulting firm Styleauteur and fashion blogger for The Huffington Post, also points to the Golden Globes red carpet as a place from which inaugural looks may be borrowed. She is also seeing a lot of "Nancy Reagan red" in formal wear.
While some of the Hollywood trends will make an appearance this weekend, Washington tends to be a more conservative town, Rothman says. If the cut-out shoulder or "peak- a-boo trend" is worn at the inauguration balls, the dresses will probably have netting or an overlay attached, she explains.
Kara Allan, a stylist for Style for Hire, works with clients throughout the Washington area who will be attending this year's festivities. Allan says she is seeing a lot of "regal Grecian goddess looks" with material off the shoulder as well as diamond embellishments and lace on gowns. Popular hues include navy blue, red, purple, black and white, gold and silver or metallic combinations.
Longer sleeves, higher necklines
This year, Rothman says she avoided dressing her clients in strapless, but instead picked dresses with higher necklines and longer sleeves like the black and white gown worn by actress Julianne Moore and the two- piece evening gown on actress Anne Hathaway at Sunday's Golden Globes.
Matthews says the more covered up gowns are a safe bet among Washington party-goers as "D.C. is a more conservative town (where you) show not too much skin, but a little something."
Allan agrees the one-shoulder look and three-quarter length sleeves on gowns could be popular at events around town.
If your dress shows some skin, cover ups in faux fur or bolero jackets complement this season's gowns and dresses.
Allan warns that "accessories are to complement, not compete -- particularly with dresses that already have built-in jewelry" at the neckline of the dress or subtle details like a ribbon tie waist.
Stay away from accessories that are too "matchy," she says, adding that it's best to keep accessories and jewelry simple.
The James Bond look
The classic tuxedo and evening suit looks for men are also seeing updates of slimmer pant legs and jacket lapels.
Matthews says men can't go wrong with wearing a tux, but she advises it should be "nicely cut with a slim leg."
Monochromatic suits in navy blue or charcoal gray, instead of all black, and thin pin stripes can present a dapper look, she adds.
"Instead of a bow tie, try a tie in an evening-type fabric like a sateen," Matthews suggests.
Allan points men to consult actor Daniel Craig's red carpet looks because "whatever it is, he just rocks it out." She adds that mixing navy blue and black makes for a newer tuxedo look in a more modern cut as the "flamboyant, wider lapels" look is a little more dated.

A Buyer's Guide to Smart but Stylish Bedroom Storage

Horner's comments came after Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari's Felipe Massa, Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne and Perez all suffered left rear failures during the British Grand Prix on Sunday, which raised questions about driver's safety during high-speed tyre blow-outs.
"We need to think of driver safety. Make no mistake about it, Alonso is a very lucky boy to be going home," Horner told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"It's not right. Forget performance; forget who has an advantage and who doesn't. The sport has to be safe. The most important thing is driver safety. I'm surprised they didn't stop the race in many respects.
"It's a safety issue now."
Alonso was in position to pass Perez in the moments before the Mexican's tyre burst. The two-time world champion avoided the pieces of debris flying off the McLaren and was fortunate not to be hit by pieces of rubber and metal.
"That one with Sergio I was so scared and so lucky because I missed the contact by one centimetre," the Spaniard commented after the race.
Earlier, Formula One race director Charlie Whiting said that he nearly red flagged the race because of safety concerns, while Jean Todt demanded Pirelli to find a solution during the Sporting Working Group meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
"It was quite close to being red-flagged," Whiting said earlier this week.
"It did occur to me to do that. We haven't seen a failure like this before; we have seen other types of failure - and that is what has been addressed. So we need to analyse it very carefully to see if we can establish the cause.
"Pirelli have got to analyse it, to try and find the cause," he continued.
"We need to make decisions earlier than Wednesday."
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone confirmed on Monday that the FIA will allow Pirelli to conduct two additional three-day tests in order to come to the bottom of the delamination problems that have plagued the season so far.
"They (Pirelli) have complained in the past when these tyres have delaminated - which is certainly nothing to do with it (what happened at Silverstone on Sunday)," Ecclestone said.
"They've said they'd like to sort it out, but they don't have a chance to do any testing because of these silly restrictions we have. But I spoke to Jean Todt over the weekend and he has said 'Let them test'.
"So he has allowed them to run two three-day tests between now and... well, when they want, to try to do something for next year, as well as this year, so that's exactly what's going to happen."
Pirelli supplied medium and hard tyres for Silverstone, which were also used in Malaysia, Bahrain and Spain earlier in the season.
In Bahrain, Hamilton and Massa suffered blow-outs too, although they differed from those suffered at Silverstone.

Was $299.95 NOW $249.95
This is the robotic floor cleaner that navigates autonomously to dry sweep or wet mop floors. The device courses across hard surface floors in a back and forth manner and uses the included microfiber cloths to sweep up dirt, dust, and hair or the mopping cloths and water to wash floors. The included palm-sized terrestrial satellite sets up on a table or countertop and, similar to GPS, emits a signal that systematically guides the robotic cleaner through the room until it's covered the entire space. On-board sensors ensure the device avoids furniture, area rugs, and stairs and its rectangular cleaning head reaches into corners, along baseboards, and under furniture to thoroughly clean hard-to-reach areas. Its whisper-quiet operation enables it to clean without disrupting conversations and sleepers. The unit cleans for up to four hours and 1,000' sq. as a sweeper and up to 2 1/2 hours and 350' sq. as a mop, and recharges via AC in four hours. Includes two sweeping cloths and two mopping cloths. Includes two C batteries for satellite. Also compatible with widely available electrostatic or pre-moistened cloths. Only available for delivery in the U.S. and Canada. 9 2/3" D x 8 1/2" W x 3" H.

Whisper quiet operation is a big bonus.
By TheTechCrown
from Canada
Best Uses
I have used other floor cleaning robots that work well, but that fact that this one is so quiet means that I am likely to use it a lot more (and therefore my floors will be a lot cleaner). In damp mop mode, the water dispenser works well to keep the cloth damp without soaking my floor. In dry mop mode, the machine covers a large area in a short time.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I went back to work this week following a year's long maternity leave (I am a school counselor, elementary) and now I have no time to scrap!
It's like I am going through withdrawal already and it's only been three days! Well, longer because the computer died, and I got a new hard drive, got PSE 10 at BJs, installed everything all over again, yadda yadda yadda....
But I miss this place, I miss scrapping, I miss the chats and night owl scraps, and I am about to lose it!
Love you all, missing you all, thinking of you all, like all the time!, and hope I can get myself on a new routine that brings me back here soon!

Neil Patrick Harris will take on the Oscar hosting duties in 2015. The entertainer has previously hosted the Emmy Awards and the Tony Awards.
So with Harris tabbed to host, what other celebrities would make a good Oscars host?
Here's a list of people that we'd like to see hosting the big event next year ...
No. 5: Seth Rogen
When it was clear that Ricky Gervais wasn't going to go for broke (as promised) at the 2012 Golden Globes, several presenters and winners stepped up.
Among them was comedy actor Seth Rogen, who presented an award with the stunning Kate Beckinsale, who is every bit as fetching in an evening gown as she is in skin-tight leather as the drop-dead gorgeous vampire Selena in three of the four "Underworld" movies.
Whether Rogen what thinking of Beckinsale in her dress or in "Underworld," there was something apparently stirring within, as he shamelessly delivered an off-color remark about a certain part of his anatomy reacting to his co-presenter.
Self-deprecating humor is always welcome, and Rogen is a master at delivering it. A gifted comedian (and writer -- he co-penned "50/50"), Rogen is the sort of comedian the Academy needs to think quick on his feet. The Academy needs to give him a shot -- and not censor him.
No. 4: Kristen Wiig & Melissa McCarthy
Now that both comedy superstars have been legitimized by the Oscars for their talents on "Bridesmaids" -- Kristen Wiig (along with co-writer Annie Mumalo) nabbed a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nom and Melissa McCarthy more than earned a Best Supporting Actress mention -- the Academy needs to consider them as co-hosts for the big event.
You have to remember, both Wiig and McCarthy are alums of Los Angeles' famed Groundlings improvisational troupe and have the ability to keep things lively without missing a beat.
And of course, it doesn't hurt that Wiig and McCarthy are continually hailed for their comedy work, since Oscar hosts should always have a sense of humor.
If anything, giving them a shot -- as soon as next year -- will give the Academy a chance to make up for one of its biggest flubs in history: the snub of "Bridesmaids" in this year's Best Picture race.
No. 3: Eddie Murphy
True, actor Eddie Murphy bailed on previous hosting duties, but they'd be foolish not to consider the comedy actor for a future hosting gig.
While several of Murphy's movies have flopped over the years people tend to forget how funny of stand-up comedian Murphy is, or at least, was. Plus, as a sketch comedian, he was brilliant on "Saturday Night Live."
Murphy was an excellent choice as a host who could think quick on his feet if the moment presented itself; a quality totally lacking in 2011's hosts, Anne Hathaway (although she tried her best) and James Franco (who did not).
Funny bone aside, Murphy would also bring a wild card to the table called unpredictability. He can also be very opinionated, and proved it on the Oscar stage in 1988 when he chided the Academy for its lack of black nominees.
No. 2: Jack Nicholson
If you're going to ever leave to chance letting a straight-up actor take hosting duties again after the James Franco-Anne Hathaway debacle, then turn the podium over to Jack Nicholson for the evening.
For one, he's used to being on stage, with three Oscar wins, and he's been featured in an endless amount of cutaways whenever he attends. There's a reason for that, of course. The man is Hollywood cool. If anybody else but Nicholson wore his shades to the Oscars, they'd be lambasted. But when Jack does it, he commands your respect. The guy is larger than life.
