Swipp Social Intelligence Platform Merges Social And Knowledge Streams
When Don Thorson and Charlie Constantini looked at the social graph – some 1 billlion connected people all sharing information at an incredibly fast pace – they saw a problem, and an opportunity. Data extraction wasn't playing as big a role in the picture as it could, so the possibility that all those connected users out there could actually be gaining knowledge proportional to the size of the social network wasn't being realized. How to return more value to end users? Thorson, whose career has spanned the video game, computer, Internet and communications industries and companies including Atari, Apple, Netscape, and Ribbit, says there had to be a way to "unlock what the world thinks about everything with the optimistic view that all of us are smarter than any of us."
So was Swipp born. The startup – co-founded by CEO Thorson, Chief Swipp officer Constantini, and CTO Ramani "Nara" Narayan (both also Ribbit veterans) – and its new social intelligence platform launched yesterday. Its aim is to extract the wisdom of the crowd in a global, aggregated way with a solid data structure foundation as its starting point. Swipp's effort to merge the worlds of social tools and knowledge tools is based on organizing data around terms or topics in what Thorson calls a "pure data" approach – not an interpreted or extracted one – allowing for data to be aggregated, displayed, and archived around a specific person, place, or thing.
So, when a consumer "swipps" – enters a topic via the web or a mobile device, adds a comment about it, and scores it so that their rating becomes part of the Swipp Index (its stock index of social intelligence) – he or she gets what Constantini calls a "one-two punch of what the world is saying and the truth." That is, you get to see what people are saying socially about that exact topic, and the Index, which is the combined social data for each topic that can be sorted by geography, time, gender, and age. For the reference knowledge and the context behind millions of topics, Swipp leverages Freebase and its entity graph of people, places and things.

Tisková konference ministra Svobody, komisaře EK Verheugena a velvyslance Bojera
13.11.2002 / 09:22
Přepis tiskové konference ze dne 29.8.2002, které se zúčastnil ministr zahraničních věcí C.Svoboda, komisař Evropské komise G.Verheugen a dánský velvyslanec J.Bojer.(2.9.2002)
Tisková konference ministra zahraničních věcí C. Svobody,
evropského komisaře
G. Verheugena a dánského velvyslance J. Bojera dne 29.8.2002
Ministr zahraničních věcí C. Svoboda:
Dámy a pánové, toto je nová tradice zahájená naším ministerstvem, a to že je pozván na pravidelnou poradu našich vedoucích misí zahraniční host. Při této poradě bylo zdůrazněno, jak EU pomohla ČR s povodněmi, respektive s odstraněním následků škod. Pozitivně se na tomto procesu ukazuje, že rozdíly mezi členskými a nečlenskými zeměmi se zmenšují. Tyto povodně vedou k iniciaci vytvoření nového fondu, ze kterého by se mohly vzniklé škody hradit. Je to pozitivní zpráva, která zároveň ukazuje důležitý politický rozměr, protože EU rychle a flexibilně pomohla. Současně je to jasný důkaz pro naše občany, že kdybychom už dnes byly členy EU, tak je pomoc větší.
Z dialogu mezi panem komisařem G. Verheugenem a našimi velvyslanci opět vyplynulo, že proces rozšíření jde v původním rámci, a že očekáváme jasné a definitivní rozhodnutí na summitu v Kodani, protože proces od Kodaně ke Kodani povede k definitivnímu rozhodnutí, že ČR v první skupině vstoupí do EU.
Evropský komisař G. Verheugen:
Thank you very much. First of all, I would like to say that I felt deeply honoured to have the opportunity to address the heads of missions of the Czech Republic. I must say that it is the second time in my life that I had an opportunity to address such a high-ranking audience. The first time was during my short period as a member of the German government. This is only the second time and an affair that was very important to discuss with Czech ambassadors - our vision of the future of Europe - and we had a very interesting and constructive debate.
After the meeting with Prime Minister Špidla and minister Svoboda I can say that we have already established a very positive, a very constructive and a very friendly working relationship. I can assure you that the co-operation between the European Commission and the Czech government is now in probably the best possible state. Of course, we use the opportunity to discuss the European reaction after the flood disaster in your country. Of course, it is not very difficult for me to understand how deeply affected, seriously affected your country is because as a German I followed closely since three weeks every day what is happening in these areas. I have seen the areas and I must say that I have never seen in my life a similar event. It was really like war what I have seen in these regions.
It is clear that our possibilities to support a non-member state, even if it is a future member state, in such situations are limited but I can tell you that we have exhausted our possibilities to the limit and I think that the present situation makes it very clear that the membership in the EU will give additional value for the Czech people. One of the reasons why we reacted so quickly is to demonstrate that the EU is not a bureaucratic machinery but that the EU is an instrument to serve the interests of people and I am very happy that we could do that and I am very happy that we managed yesterday in the Commission to endorse everything what was discussed in Berlin a couple of days ago in the presence of Prime Minister Špidla and minister Svoboda. The Commission yesterday made a political decision to make a proposal for the establishment of a new financial instrument for disaster relief. That shall be available before the end of this year.
Then of course we used the opportunity to take stock of the present state of play and the process of accession and as I have already said in the press point after the meeting with Prime Minister, there is nothing really new what we must discuss today. Strategy and timetable are unchanged, we exchanged our views and we shared the view that our objective is realistic and that we have a very good chance to conclude our negotiations in Copenhagen before the end of this year. Then the process of political decision-making in member states and future member states will follow. We have discussed some aspects of that process and we share the view that with a very, very high probability the Czech Republic will be a member of the EU in the first half of the year 2004.
Let me make one political remark that I have not made so far in the Czech Republic or other countries. I think it is very important to understand that the moment of accession to the EU will not be the end of the process of transformation in a country like the Czech Republic but it will be a very decisive moment because it will make definitely the transformation irreversible.
Otázka BBC World Service:
I have a question for Mr. Verheugen concerning the new funds for disaster relief. Quite understandably, your answers today as far as how much money will go where are rather vague because the process has only started. Nevertheless, one would assume that you have at least some idea as far as the time frame is concerned and just roughly when about we can expect the money. You just said it was before the end of this year but is it coming in November, December, is it coming in October?
Evropský komisař G. Verheugen:
Well, I think it is impossible to answer that question today. There are too many players. The first step is done, the political decision is there, the formal proposal will come very soon, in less than three weeks and then the Council and Parliament will act. The Danish presidency is very supportive and has promised already a fast track procedure. What we want to establish is a fund within the existing budget so that it makes it much easier, politically and financially and legally easier within the budget and that would guarantee that the fresh money is already available before the end of this year. That will be the 2002 budget and then in the 2003 budget we establish the fund again but with a higher amount of money. The idea that was discussed was to start with 500 million in 2002 and then to try to get 1 billion in 2003 and in the following years. But I really cannot tell you exactly when the new legislation will be in place. But I think the prospect is very good. My view is that everybody understands the need to do it and it will be very difficult for a member state or for a member of parliament to reject the idea because if you reject it you simply take the risk that your country is the next country that is affected and then you would have to explain why you rejected the idea of European disaster relief fund.
Otázka Hospodářské noviny:
Máme tomu rozumět tak, že rychlost čerpání nebo rychlost vypracování našich požadavků na tento pomocný fond je více méně zkouškou české administrativy před vstupem do EU, kdy víme, že zrovna tato oblast je často kritizována v dílčích zprávách, které podepisuje pan Verheugen?
Evropský komisař G. Verheugen:
I think we must make a clear distinction here. The fund that will come in the future is unknown. We do not know the rules and therefore we do not know what the Czech government has to do if it wants to participate. I cannot discuss that. But for the other part of the business budget your question is very important. The money that is available for the Czech Republic, the money that is newly allocated for that purpose - for reconstruction and limitation of flood damage, indeed it depends on decisions of the Czech government which projects will be financed from that money but my discussions this morning show clearly that the process of preparation has already begun and I expect that the projects will be identified very soon. There is another element which I would like to mention, I discussed that with Prime Minister this morning, in a couple of months you will know how much money the Czech Republic will get in 2004 and in following years from the structural operations of the EU. You will be a member of the EU and the structural funds will be available for you and we will know how much money we have as a budget for the Czech Republic. The exact figure will be known and I advise the Czech governmental to be ready to prepare projects which can be financed in 2004 because it is absolutely possible to use the money that will come in 2004 from the structural funds for bigger projects which are not completed in 2004 and are still related to the damage that happened after the flood.
Otázka MF Dnes:
I would like to ask a little bit more on the money that has already been promised. As you said it is really up to the Czech side to decide what the priorities are and which projects should be covered by the money. But is there any kind of idea, what you from the position of the European Commission, what areas should be covered, is there any particular area where you would like send the money?
Evropský komisař G. Verheugen:
Well, a part of the money comes from the instrument ISPA which is an instrument for infrastructure and environment. I would say that a very huge percentage of the projects which would have to be financed are related to infrastructure and environment so it fits. As far as PHARE is concerned, here the possibilities cover a very, very wide range. The system is decentralized and it is our principle that the future member states have to make proposals because as soon as they are member states they have to manage the funds and not the European Commission and I do not see why we should make an exception here. I fully trust that the Czech administration will propose useful projects in due time.
Otázka Prague Business Journal:
Question for both gentlemen. Do you fear that the problems created by the floods especially in the field of agriculture will complicate the spirit in discussions and negotiations in this area in the next few weeks and also in discussions of the overall contribution of the Czech Republic to the EU in the future.
Ministr zahraničí C. Svoboda:
Tato situace, která byla zapříčiněná povodněmi, má naopak podle našeho názoru i některé pozitivní dopady jako všechno, co je špatné a co působí škodu. Konstatuji mimořádné zlepšení vztahů s Rakouskou republikou a s dalšími sousedními státy a větší intenzitu spolupráce s EU. Takže pokud to bude mít efekt na negociace, tak to podle mého názoru bude dopad pozitivní, protože to ve věci vzájemné komunikace pomůže. Myslím si, že to výrazně pomůže ratifikačnímu procesu po uzavření akcesní smlouvy. Takže pokud jde o příspěvek ČR, tak o tom se zatím nevedla řeč . Zásadně samotný proces vstupu ČR do EU to může pouze pozitivně ovlivnit.
Evropský komisař G. Verheugen:
I share the view of the minister Svoboda. Politically I think it helps because we see not only Austria and the Czech Republic in the same boat. We see Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic in the same boat and starting a joint political initiative and a successful initiative. I think it is the first time in the history of the EU that two member states started an initiative together with one future member state. I think it is very important. Economically, it is today perhaps a little bit early to make an assessment. I think that the terrible loss of public and private property certainly has a negative effect on the economic situation of the country and that is very tragic because the economic performance of the Czech Republic was very good and this is a serious, sad fact but nobody can hold the country responsible for that. This is a catastrophe. On the other side, you will have a stronger demand and there will be some positive economic aspects. But I do not think that it, at the end of the day, will in any way affect the economic assessment of the Czech Republic that we have.
Dánský velvyslanec J. Bojer:
I am very grateful to be offered this opportunity to speak to the representatives of the press at Commissioner Verheugen's press conference representing in a way the dual nature of the leadership of the EU, the communitarian side represented by the Commission and the intergovernmental side represented by these six months of presidency of Denmark. In this very concrete situation of the flooding in the Czech Republic this has also been represented in the nature of assistance that has been given to the Czech Republic. As Foreign Minister Svoboda pointed out in an article last week in the press there is assistance from the Commission coming out of the community budget which is of a long-term structural nature and then there is at the same time the bilateral assistance coming from member states which is very short-term to address the immediate emergency that we have here. I must say that we have been extremely satisfied with the cooperation with the Czech authorities and the speed with which they have been able to identify their needs and the flexibility they have shown in receiving what was offered to them. Thank you very much.

Personally, I think "Mists of Pandaria" will be the 4.4 bridge to the next expansion, leading us to the south seas and maybe also Xoroth. Lady Azshara and N'Zoth will be the big antagonists of the next expansion.

INFO ON ANNUAL PASS: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&tag=D3WoWFAQ&rhtml=true
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/3767193/Sign_Up_for_the_World_of_Warcraft_Annual_Pass_and_ Get_Diablo_III_Free-10_21_2011#blog
Intro to Mists of Pandaria Panel:
- New things to do, Get people back into the world (Finally gonna address the lack of world interaction)

- Different talent trees, more interesting mixes (missed some of this, info will be nice in the thread.)
- World of Pandaria: 5 new level up zones, single, unified continent, influenced by asian landscapes, AH, Bank and Centra Questing Hub. No flying until MAX level (Level 90 btw.)
- Lore of Pandaria: Long, storied history. magically hidden since The Sundering. New land to explore. It's Alliance vs Horde so we'll have a lot of people sniffing abouts and trying to get resources. Might be interesting to see world pvp brought back.
- The Wandering Isle: Panderen start zone...it's a FRIGGEN TURTLE! Story focused with simple mechanics, And it's a cross faction to choose between Horde or Alliance at level 10.
- Creatures of Pandaria: Jinyu: Fish like creatures. Hozu: Monkey type race. Verming: .....OMFG IT's A RABBIT! Mantid: Looks like a Praying Mantis. With culture! Mogu: Look like an Orc but ...no, that's an orc like creature. Sha: Wisp/Evil Energy. Shadowform creatures.
- The Jade Forest: Alliance and Horde are going to land here. Lands after a naval battle. Horde is north, Alliance is South. Lush rainforests and stone spires. This is where you will first meet the Hozu and Jinyu. Alliance will try to befriend Hozu, and Horde will try to befriend Jinyu. They're gonna try to turn both races against each other and this causes the Sha to appear. There's a dungeon: Temple of the Jade Serpent. (The dungeon is the Sha have taken over and because you caused the mess, you gotta go cleanse it.)
- Valley of the Four Winds: Two zones within one big one. You'll get to choose between south or North when you first get into the zone. It's a Panderen Farmland section, has Costal Jungles. There's a huge Stormstout Brewery (Sounds like it's a dungeon.). You will first interact with the Mantid here.
- New Features in the Expansion explained by Greg Ghostcrawler Street: New Race - Panderen. Can be either Horde or Alliance. Cannot be Death Knight, Druid, Paladin, Warlock.
- Panderen Racial: Increasts the stat benefits from food. Gourmand - Cooking skills +15, Inner Peace - Rested experience last twice as long. Bouncy - 50% less damage. Quaking Palm _ touch a secret place and ...Incapacitates (if i read that right. Went too fast on me. Damn you GC.)
- Class: Monk -Brewmaster - Tank! Drunken Master, hoooooo. Mistweaver: Healer. Healer that can stand up in melee. Bout time! Windwalker - Melee DPS ("Punch someone in the face!") -insert not a hero class quip, level 1 accessible-, Very Martial Arts based. Lots of Monk-only animations.
- Monk races: Goblin and Worgen CANNOT be Monks.
- Monk EQ: Hit a lot with hands and feet, need weapons for finishers. - Staves, Fists weapons, one handed axes, maces, swords, Offhand for healers. Leather wearers. (Author's note: Probably going to be mimicking the druid in stat requirements.)
- Monk Resources: Chi: energy used for Jab and Roll. Jab generates light or dark force. Some finishers take light or dark forces. ...oooh THIS is creepy. This class has NO autoattack. Bar is currenty in the middle of the screen. odd placement. BAHAHAHAH They have TANSENKUKEN!
Talents 2.0:
- In Cata:
Pro: Level 10 spec, Removed the junk, There are some choices.
Cons: Risk of skipping core talents, Didn't remove enough junk, not enough choices, not enough customization, no true hybridization, Players are quite grumpy about the Talent Trees!
- In Talent ....system...GONE!?!?!...psyche. Greatly changed though!
Three types of abilities: Class abilities. Spec Abilities, Talents. Talents should be 'optional'
Specs: Choose spec at level 10, get a spec at level 10, get additional spec abilities later - Old talents you need to have, old core abilities not every spec needs.
IE Prot paladins:
Level 10: Avenger's Shield
20: HoR (Ret too)
30: Judgement of the Just (passive)
- No talent points or Ranks, One talent tree PER CLASS. Earn talents every 15 levels. Every talent, you choose one out of three. There are NO mandatory talents. Change talents as easily as glyphs.
They'll show every class after this and their talents (5:15pm)
- Short instances for a few players. They will be staged experiences. one of the examples given was a quest called Defense of Goldshire, which allow you to do three stage with different 'objectives'. It's like a chain quest of sorts. They are just changed one at a time.
- "PvE battlegrounds": Think BGs but with NPC types. For example used, Battle of Grizzly Gulch (GG). Objectives: Slay soldiers, destroy battlements, then kill boss.
- There are no player collisions, and could replace group quests.
- You queue and Go, pretty much like the Dungeon Finder. There's absolutely no role requirements; you should have very short queues for this.
Challenge Mode Dungeons:
- Memories of the 45 Minute Baron run in Strat are what inspired this: Complete dungeons within x amount of minutes. You earn Bronze/silver/gold medals. All gear levels are normalized. your Gear is scaled down to a standard level. You can't really get better gear to overpower stuff. You get sweet looking gear with No stats (Transmogrify much?) and Valor Points.
Pet Battle System:
Collect, level and battle with companion pets, accessible to all players, works with almost every pet. Customize your pet (...pokemon..?)
- Collect: This will work with existing pets. You can also get "Wild pets". There is a pet journal (omfg, there are some pokemon in my WoW.) Can trade pets now. Account wide pets!
- Level: You win battles with your pets to gain experience and level. You learn new abilities you can use in battle, and you can create builds using abilities.
- Battle: PvE and PvP battles. Turn based combat...You fight with a team of three pets, and there is a queuing system.
- Customize: Name your pets, can give them an item. You can do individual builds and teams. You can meet masters and fight them and get abilities.
- 9 awesome new dungeons 6 dungeons across Pandaria. Heroic updates of classing dugeons: Scholomance and Scarlet Monastery.
Three new Epic raids, feature two new enemy races: Mogu and Mantid, Raid finder will be added in these for normal and heroic. And the reintroducing World Bosses!
- Increased focus on the max level content stuff. We're talking about multiple hubs, incentives for dungeons and raiders. More quest choices, less linear. No more flying till max level so people don't go flying all over the place and getting advantages over others. Faction improvements: more incentive and more options to go and get some gear they want.
- New battlegrounds: New styles of battlegrounds - (Payload, Murderball, DOTA style.), New arena (Tol'vir Proving Grounds).
- STV Diamond Mine BG: Payload gameplay: You pretty much gotta escort mine cars to the depot. Got multiple tracts. First one to get to x resources wins.
- Valley of Power: (Murderball) - Located in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms (somewhere in Pandaria). You hold the object, which is more points. Multiple point zones. Object does damage to the holder and the damage increases over time. Showing a map of the way that the further you are from the middle, the less points you accumulate.
- Tol'vir Proving Grounds - New Arena. Located in Uldum. It's a simple layout based on the Nagrand Arena. Uses Uldum artstyle.
- Account bound Achievements will be added!
Major class changes:
- Resilience will be a base stat. As you get pvp gear, you'll get up to the regular amount with addition of gear.
- Ranged Weapons: Hunter Minimum Range - GONE! Hunter Melee Weapon: GONE! Ranged Slot for all others - GONE!...oooh. Relics - GONE! Rogue and warrior can will throw their weapons, Wands will become main hand weapons.
- Warlocks...GONE!...not. Unique resource for every spec. Affliction will be having Soul Shards. Demonology will have Demonic Fury. You beat stuff and when you get to max Fury, you turn into Demon Form. Destruction - Infernal Embers will be one of those hard to build up but once you do, you will do big damage with your fire spells.
- Shaman: Buff Totems...GONE. :O All totems are now utility totems. Earthgrab totem does a root. Repulsion totems repels people. Bulwark totems which absorbs.
- Druids: Always felt like they had four specs...SO NOW THEY DO! Feral - cat melee. Guardian - Bear (tanking). Some overlap between the two, And all druids will still go cat or bear form.
- All Classes - Spell books have been cleaned up. Rotations have been improved. The spells are now learned right there on the field, no need to go back to the trainer (He will stay for respec.) Several new spells, specs more developed and talent trees are going to be made more FUN.
- Talents 2.0: Major talent changes.
- Goal: The goal is to stand beside another toon, like a rogue, and both of you have different abilities! Character customization was the original points of talents in the first place. Players have argued for more talent customization.
- New Model: Class abilities: All warriors will learn Heroic Strike. Spec Abilities: Only Arms warriors learn Slam. Talents: Any warrior can choose Throwdown.
- Many core abilities for Warriors: Enrage is one that is in there for all warriors.
- At level 10, you get to choose your spec: Warriors - Arms/Fury/Protection. A panel is shown for what you get as you gain levels.
- At level 15, you pick your talent. Three items are placed in the row that have the same goal. For Warriors, movement will be dependant on your style of gameplay.
- Talent Philosophy: Gives you access to stuff that wasn't accessible. (Rogues now all can get Shadowstep for example.). There are several new, overpowered (feeling) talents. Raw powerful talents to make you feel powerful. If you don't see a talent you really enjoyed, don't worry; it's probably been given to your spec. IE: All Holy Priests have Circle of Healing. The hope is to make sure that you feel like you don't have any mandatory talents!

NOTE: None of these are set in stone. These are the ideas what they're going towards.
Dungeons and Raids Q&A
Challenge Mode: Players looking for a bigger challenge will be looking at this mode. Timed Dungeon runs to earn medals. The skill factor will be more important than the gear in this mode. Gear rewards will be mostly for Transmogrification. No stats on the gear; just awesome looking stuff for bragging rights. Leaderboards will be introduced and will be more for bragging rights and having fun with guildies and B.Net versions.
Raids: Three new raids are being introduced in Mists of Pandaria. Liked the Cataclysm model of two raids with 5-6 bosses and one with a couple. Features mostly the new enemy races of Mogu and Mantid. Raid Finder/Normal/Heroic modes will be inserted for these raids.
Mogu'Shan Palace:
- Located atop Kun-Lai Summit, Six boss raids, and you will explore the secrets of the ancient Mogu empire.
Raid Finder discussion:
- Seeing how they're talking about dungeons and raids, they have decided to speak about the Raid Finder a bit. The reason it was done was on the success of Dungeon Finder. This allows for a wider accessibility for people to see raids as they seemed to dislike the amount that could see their work. This is going to be a lower difficulty, and rewards will be lower than normal mode loot. This finder will be launched in 4.3, and will be in all raids for 5.0 (MoP). Vanity Items will not be available in Raid Finder. Achievements for specific bosses will not be active either. An achievement will be done for doing the Raid Finder stuff, but it will not give you specific boss achievements for metas. 25 man raids will be the only type of raids as it's easier to fill out and lowers the time on the queue.
Goals for Panderan:
- Short focus is the goal. Halls of Origination was a little too long. Had to nerf stuff. They want to keep it short and focused. They will also not set up groups to fail. Dungeon Journal was actually made for this purpose so you can see what happened if a wipe happens. The dungeons and raids in this expansion will be more lighthearted and more fun like. It's allowing designers to be creative and put a whole eastern feel to the game as well as wacky new ideas they could put in. They also will give dungeons a part of the world, feeling as if you were actually still in the world. (Think the current AQ when flying over.)
Q&A session: (Underlined is the question asked)
Gear scale in dungeons, will it go up or down: the gear will scale up. They've been thinking about to scale the monsters up instead and give the gear the same feeling instead of feeling weaker.
Dungeon/Raid finder - Can we queue for old dungeons BC and Wrath: Not sure if it's needed for those raids as most people use the old dungeons for achievements and getting transmog gear. It's not off the table but more of a question of interest and people.
Outdoor dungeons did exist before but not in this expansion (Cata). Why go back to this version: Agreed that some did actually exist but not in the fashion. Quests will be available in the outside world for solo while you can enter the dungeon as well. Both will be interactive. Historically they had to scale them smaller.
Quests in Raid Group: Good question, not sure why they have it like this and they may be removing the no quest restriction in raids!
Kick Process - 3 hour cannot boot when a dungeon is 20 minutes: the number is modified dynamically by the amount of times a person was booted/did the booting. This is a way to moderate the whole kick process to be able to be kicked but not for the lulz.
Tiers went from 12-13 bosses to 7-8 bosses in Cata. Is there a reason: Depends on the tier and what they want to give out as gear. They haven't figured it out yet.
Jump of difficulty between normal and heroics and how people would only do a couple of normals: Currently no plans of having level 90 dungeons; will only have Heroics. It'll be Level dungeons/heroics/raids.
Hardmode Toggling - can we get have more hard modes triggered by doing specific things such as pushing a button for mimiron hard mode in Ulduar: Liked the ulduar concept, but it was difficult to come up for every single boss a method to activate it.
Legendary questchain - Can we get more of these so we can give them to people we want to give them to: We could, but at this point you'd lose the idea behind 'a legendary'. IE: Rogue daggers feel and sound like they work for it.
10/25 man lockout has caused problems with off spec. Is the content going to be satisfy us enough to want to play our offspec: Lockout is nonexistant and you can join the raid finder with friends as a group. Trying to make everything fun for everyone. Still discussing about the 10/25 lockout since implementation. You never know.
Classic dungeons going up (Stockades - HOGGER!): Might do some more, they're fun to do and well received by the community. Everyone loves Hogger!
Can we expect to see to nerfed content every time?: No, not something we nerfed the raids for. Nerfed the content so everyone can see it. The 4.3 raid will be great and EPIC.
For competitive raiders - Server first achievements, is there a way to separate achievements between 10s and 25s: Discussed about, understand the fact that 10 and 25 have different difficulties between each other. Something we can't promise but we'll see.
Challenge Mode for raids: There is a chance. Starting with dungeons and seeing if they work out and want to see how it is received by the community. Was discussed to nerf gear all every 5% each time once challenge passed Gold so it is more challenging.
Separate fields of progression (4 bosses per section to progress): it's been discussed and may definitely happen.
5 Minute warning!
Abyssal Maw Raid was never released. Will we see it?: Never really got into the story of Cataclysm. It just didn't 'fit' when they were thinking. The concept art is about as far as they had gotten.
Great question - Hit expertise will be lowered by a percentage due to lowered ILVL. how are you going to fix people who get to the cap only: Top men are working on this!

Personally, I think "Mists of Pandaria" will be the 4.4 bridge to the next expansion, leading us to the south seas and maybe also Xoroth. Lady Azshara and N'Zoth will be the big antagonists of the next expansion.
MoP for the next expansion - makes the most sense to me, personally. It would be weird to have a Panda character though...although who knows? Maybe it'll be awesome-sauceness!
"Dear Blizzard, Nerf rock, Paper is fine. -Scissors." - - from Arctius (Official Forums)
Blizzard has always had a serious note to every expansion. I really hope that MoP isn't what everyone thinks its going to be... if it IS a (as they have said they never use Pandaran any other way) non-serious expansion, with people playing pandas... i predict a massive drop is subs...
One can only hope.
Gonna get this started shortly folks. Chances are the intro will have some stuff, but the real meat will begin at around 3:30 EST.
Please keep this page up and refresh as info will be posted as I go along and type stuff.

In the other thread lore mentioned wowhead will be doing a liveblog, but as of yet I have not even seen mention of it on either wowhead or wowheadnews. I realize it is a bit early but I would have though they would at least have the liveblog player on the site by now. Do we know when that is going to start and which panels they are doing?
DS, they may have a page up in the background ready to switch over when it goes live. Keep an eye out on it. Either way I'll be posting info at the top of this page so we'll get it started real quick.
T-Minus 40 minutes till BlizzCon 2011 starts! Hope all of you are excited and curious as to what will happen!

I'm hoping they will pull something surprising out for the new expansion. Mists of Pandaria will probably be announced today, but perhaps as a "Hello Kitty Island Adventure" WOW spinoff, rather than as the actual meat of the expansion. Chris Metzen said flat-out in an interview that Pandaren have only ever been used in WoW's peripherals and never actually appeared in the game, and I don't expect them to change that formula radically. WoW works, it has been getting and keeping unprecedented numbers of subscribers for many years now, they would be stupid to radically change the tone of the game or the formula for it, and nothing Blizz has done so far has ever led me to believe that they're not business savvy.
But they don't copyright patches
Selling D3 Betas to keep people subscribed to WoW. Lol. Blizz is goin downhill. I'm starting to not even care about Diablo 3.
Mists of Pandariaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hhh aaaaaaahhhh xpac. Blizz lies
Well...I guess it's time to unsub...
Opening ceremonies are now finished. The panel will resume at 3:30pm with the Intro to Mists of Pandaria!

text: 5 Perfect All-rounderTechKing | 14/10/2010 | See all TechKing's reviews (2)There are a lot of smartphones out there, but I chose the Wildfire because of its customisable features and its battery life. The best arguments for android over iPhones are the thousands of free user-created apps, and the ability to control the screen brightness, wi-fi and bluetooth for that extra few hours of call time. The wildfire is 100% customisable with smart and nice-looking widgets and backgrounds, and has 7 home screens to fill with app shortcuts and widgets, such as music, FM radio, battery-saving controls, weather, share prices and FriendStream. I am still only using 5 of my home screens, so 7 is more than enough! I could have chosen one of the larger, high-resolution HTC phones, but what's the point in a phone with a high resolution/ high definition screen? All they do is drain the battery and I found they are far to large to comfortably fit in my pocket. So the Wildfire is the perfect compromise - nice, compact size, and all the features of the higher-end HTC phones, AND with better battery life! The only drawback is the camera - it is one of the better smartphone cameras, with 5mp, but it doesn't produce consistently high-quality photos. Video quality is very good though. This is the best smartphone I have ever used, and would highly recommend it to anybody who, like me, doesn't need an amazing camera on their phone. This is a serious iPhone rival for a fraction of the price!

Saving an Island's History
There's a spot in Georgia where students and researchers can look back at life in our state from prehistory through the 1930s. The site, on Ossabaw Island, about 20 miles south of Savannah, contains the remnants of a prehistoric village, an antebellum plantation and a 1930s tenant farmer's home. With signs of human occupation dating back 4,500 years, the site offers exposure to a wide range of archaeological features and techniques. The Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Dr. Victor Thompson of the University of Georgia just wrapped up a summer archaeological field school on the island. Open to both graduate and undergraduate students, the field school's goal was to collect information and...

Haha BBC link is 2008. For a second, I was sitting back wondering how enzo could possibly be 28.
'I'm not saying I couldn't find a few minutes a day to read a forum, but somehow I've managed to make it through these past few years without being called a faggot on a daily basis.'
Yeah, I remember reading that a long time ago haha, Enzo was done then and never found his way back...shame really.
Would still love Haye to have a crack at MMA once he has got the Klitschko's out of his system.

There has been no new news on the status of the Seaway pipeline bottlenecks and as such the March Brent/WTI spread is still trading above the level it was trading at prior to the announcement by Seaway last Wednesday. The spread is currently trading around the $17/bbl resistance level and below the high of this move of about $17.60/bbl hit last Wednesday. In the short term the next move of this spread is likely to be mostly impacted by what happens with Seaway followed by what the inventory outcome is for both PADD 2 and Cushing in this morning's EIA inventory report.
Although there have been no major geopolitical issues that have had a significant impact on oil flow out of the MENA region the market is slowly become more aware and nervous with the issues that have occurred over the last few weeks as well as what is evolving of late from the region. The Algerian hostage situation was a wakeup call that this country is not immune to the issues that have plagued many other countries in the area. Also Libya is far from stable with strikes and sporadic fighting curtailing crude oil production levels and postponing some new drilling ventures by some of the IOC until later in the year on the premise that it will be more stable. Egypt is also flaring up once again as more of the population seems to be dismayed by the current leadership resulting in rioting and unrest in many cities in Egypt.
There are other hot spots starting to break through the surface resulting in the geopolitical risk premium starting to slowly creep back into the price of oil. At the moment I would categorize geopolitics as the floor in oil prices at a minimum with an additional premium starting to emerge. Geopolitical risk is currently coming back into the forefront in the mindset of most to the oil market participants.
Global equity values have recovered most of the losses from the first part of the week and are now almost unchanged for the week as shown in the EMI Global Equity table below. The Index is just 0.07% lower for the week with the year to date gain sitting at the 2.6% level. Brazil remains the only bourse in the Index that is still in negative territory for the year with London and the US holding the top two spots in the Index (in that order).
As I have been discussing since last week that many of the global equity bourses are in overbought territory and susceptible to a downside correction at any time. For example the London FTSE is up 7% for the month of January while the US Dow is higher by 6.5%. These are not sustainable monthly gains that are going to continue to be repeated without interruption. There is a plethora of market moving data yet to hit the media airwaves this week any of which could act as a catalyst to send the market into a round of profit taking selling. There will be a move to the downside at some point and the oil complex will also be impacted. Protect your profits from the current run higher.

Each day in the US more than 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away. Most end
up in landfills or incinerators, and millions litter America's streets, parks and waterways.
How can America be spurred on to recycle more?
Today, the oldest liquid on earth is the number one 'new age' drink in the United States and in many countries throughout the world. While many noncarbonated beverages have experienced incredible growth over the past decade (such as ready-to-drink tea, fruit juices and sports drinks), noncarbonated bottled water is way ahead of the pack, with sales in the US expected to exceed US $10 billion in 2006.
The question 'how does recycling help the environment' does not have one simple answer. There are many ways that recycling helps and even the smallest step can have significant results.
While we are all very aware that we 'should' recycle, it is not always clear 'why' we should recycle. Is there really a significant benefit in putting a soft drink can in a recycle bin and not just throwing it out with the trash? If we better understand what the benefits of recycling are and how does recycling help the environment - the more inclined we will be to embrace recycling as a natural and important part of life.
A bench can transform any area into a welcoming sight for people. These decorative and highly functional outdoor pieces of furniture can be placed practically anywhere, from a little extra space outside a building's entrance to a small patio adjoining a facility to sidewalk at a strip mall.
Outdoor benches basically serve two purposes. First, conveniently placed benches provide a place for people to sit and relax before going inside or when waiting to be picked up. This is especially appreciated by the elderly and people who have to wait more than several minutes. Second, benches can add to the aesthetic value of a facility and improve the appeal of the property.
Anyone that has ever had a baby and changed diapers can understand what I mean by "What a Stinky Mess!" And those that have babysat an infant or even been nearby when an infant was changed out of a soiled diaper! Wow, can that stink!
(Re-posted from http://britishrecycledplastic.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-decay-of-timber-structures.html)
An article in Landscape News (the official journal of the British Association of Landscape Industries) has highlighted a worrying acceleration in the decay of timber structures that has been noted across the landscaping industry.
Softwood timber in contact with the ground is rotting well inside the anticipated lifespan of the product. These installations coincided with a change in legislation regarding wood preservatives. Modern day preservatives are based on copper and other biocides. These replace more industrial products such as chromated copper arsenates (CCA) sold up until the early 2000s. Since this transition, anecdotal evidence suggests that some timbers are rotting within 3-4 years.
Best practice from timber suppliers can ameliorate this problem by conditioning the timber in a kiln before preservatives are added, thus ensuring the correct moisture content, but this approach is not widespread and much softwood on the market is now prone to premature rot.
Note from Polly Products:
Using recycled plastic lumber eliminates the problem of rot, decay, or splintering, saving significantly on periodic treatment and replacement costs. We manufacture all of our products out of 100% recycled plastic for a more durable and cost effective alternative to other materials that are robbing our environment of our valuable natural resources. "Green Products for a Green World" is our contribution to the saving of our planet. Polly Products are versatile and stylish and are found in schools, hospitals, parks, trails, sports and recreation facilities. Our craftsmen create and fabricate products that are shipped worldwide.

During a cash mob, other business owners or managers show up at the targeted business and do some shopping. Signs are placed in front of the business and it allows all the attendees a chance to talk to one another and visit socially.
A cash mob also allows the business owner to showcase his or her business to other chamber members.Nikki's Inspired Designs sells jewelry, clothing, handbags, various personalized items and Origami Owl.

Moving Average Envelopes are rate based envelopes set above and underneath a moving average. The moving average, which structures the base for this marker, might be a basic or exponential moving average. Every envelope is then situated the same rate above or underneath the moving average. This makes parallel groups that take after price activity and commodity brokers who understand technical analysis.
With a moving average as the base, Moving Average Envelopes could be utilized as a pattern emulating pointer. In any case, this marker is not restricted to simply pattern emulating. The envelopes can likewise be utilized to distinguish overbought and oversold levels when the pattern is generally level.
Count for Moving Average Envelopes is straight-advance. To begin with, pick a straightforward moving average or exponential moving average. Basic moving averages weight every information point (price) just as. Exponential moving averages put more weight on late prices and have less slack. Second, select the amount of time periods for the moving average. Third, set the rate for the envelopes. A 20-day moving average with a 2.5% envelope might demonstrate the accompanying two lines: http://www.activefutures.com/commodity-broker/
Indicators dependent upon channels, groups and envelopes are intended to envelop most price movement. Along these lines, moves above or underneath the envelopes warrant consideration. Slants frequently begin with solid moves in one bearing or an alternate. A surge over the upper envelope shows phenomenal quality, while a plunge beneath the easier envelope shows exceptional shortcoming. Such solid moves can indicate the end of one pattern and the start of an alternate.
With a moving average as its establishment, Moving Average Envelopes are a characteristic pattern taking after marker. Similarly as with moving averages, the envelopes will slack price movement. The bearing of the moving average manages the course of the channel. All in all, a downtrend is available when the channel moves more level, while an uptrend exists when the channel moves higher. The pattern is level when the channel moves sideways.
Here and there a solid pattern does not enjoy hold after an envelope reprieve and prices move into an exchanging extent. Such exchanging extents are stamped by a generally even moving average. The envelopes can then be utilized to recognize overbought and oversold levels for exchanging purposes. A move over the upper envelope means an overbought circumstance, while a move underneath the easier envelope denote an oversold condition.
The parameters for the Moving Average Envelopes rely on upon your trading/investing targets and the qualities of the security included. Merchants will probably utilize shorter (speedier) moving averages and generally tight envelopes. Moguls will probably favor longer (slower) moving averages with more extensive envelopes.
A security's unpredictability will additionally impact the parameters. Bollinger Groups and Keltner Diverts have inherent instruments that naturally acclimate to a security's instability. Bollinger Groups utilize the standard deviation to set data transmission.
Keltner Channels utilize the Average Accurate Extent (ATR) to set channel width. These naturally change for instability. Chartists should autonomously represent unpredictability when setting the Moving Average Envelopes. Securities with high unpredictability will oblige more extensive groups to incorporate most price movement. Securities with low unpredictability can utilize narrower groups.

Ural takes a giant step back with M70 Anniversary Edition
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Nov 29th, 2011 at 7:01PM
Ural, the Russian motorcycle company that specializes in sidecars, has never been known for groundbreaking designs that blaze a trail through electronic gadgetry or super lightweight composites on the way to the most technologically advanced motorcycles possible. Instead, the heavyweight iron steeds that roll out of the factory in Irbit near Siberia (out of the range of the bombs of Nazi Germany) trade things like fuel injection and ABS brakes for shovels and machine gun mounts. Seriously. The latest machine from Ural looks as far back into the past as the Russian sidecar industry can go,... Read More


text: 5 SDHC NOT SDharrystamp | 10/04/2009 | See all harrystamp's reviews (2)This works great and is at a very good price. The reason people in other reviews are saying it dosent work is because they must be trying to use it with SD devices, not SDHC compatible devices. This would be like putting a blu-ray in a dvd player and wondering why it doesnt work. If thinking about buying check you equipment is SDHC compatible.

metro child carrier
Lighten the urban trip fantastic! The only child carrier with any fashion sense: a stylish little ride!
"I've never been much of a fan of carriers as so many of them look bulky and masculine - that is until I discovered the phil&teds metro - sleek and stylish and lightweight - it's been a dream for getting mobile in crowds and on and off the bus with my two year old." - Virginia, Mum to George and metro owner
The metro ™ child carrier is HOT! because:
- superior functionality for when you need to keep your hands free
- allows you to get on with your day while keeping baby close
- loads of storage for the urban necessities & shopping essentials
- stable, self standing fold out base for controlled loading
- tough, washable, waterproof nylon 300 & 600 denier fabrics
- slide-adjust harness system (infinite adjustment in 2-single steps)
- flat folding for easy storage
Great lighweight carrier!

I am very happy with this carrier. My child is secure, snug and he can see where we are walking. The pockets for storage are handy and the carrier comes with a sun shade. I also like the adjustments I can use to have it fit me of my wife comfortably. Would recommend it to anyone.
The Metro is GREAT!
Written by: Nicki
mercredi 29 mai 20135/5
We use it for activities where a stroller just won't cut it, like walking the dog in the forest and going for family strolls around the lakes. Angus loves being in it so much we now keep the metro in the boot of the car, and use it when doing grocery shopping and going to markets too. It is comfortable to use, carrying an 11kg baby around has been easy in the metro, and it's fully adjustable and easy to use. As soon as the Metro comes out, Angus starts squealing with delight - so it gets the big tick from all of us!

A hands free kit for the adults while giving young ones an elevated view of the world. The metro is comfortable for the wearer with its secure and highly adjustable harness [proven from 5'2" to 6'0"!] and obviously comfortable for the young one as riding on Dad's back seems to put them to sleep, sometimes unintentionally! The pockets are highly functional and the bottom one is accessible by the wearer. The unit folds down flat allowing easy storage and transport. Best place used so far: without a doubt, the airport.
spacious and comfy

The Metro has been great for my 20 month old as well as my 8 month old baby. They seem to be comfortable, and so is my husband who is usually the one to carry one of them in it. Usually it is the 20 month old, as she is the heaviest (32 lb). We have been fishing and hiking in it. We bought ours at babies r us, and felt like we got a really good deal for the money compared to other carriers of comparable quality and style.
Love it

I was very happy with this carrier. My 18 month old is secure and snug in it. It has a nice big pocket for storage and a nice rain hood. Would recommend it
Great carrier for toddlers
Written by: Nicole
mercredi 29 mai 20135/5
This carrier is excellent! The design was well thought out and it includes tons of great extras (a shade canopy and lots of storage). They really thought of everything with carrier. Our son loves to be able to see everything going on so this carrier was perfect. It is light weight and therefore makes bringing our son with us for hikes or to festivals much easier than trying to lug around the stroller. With all the great design features, this carrier is a steal at this price.
Love this carrier!
Written by: Kim
mercredi 29 mai 20135/5
We LOVE our Metro carrier! We received it as a gift off of our registry when expecting our second baby. It is great because it is smaller and more convenient to use than a stroller and the girls love riding in it (or sitting in it if it is just on the ground) Room to put your wallet, sunscreen and other necessities and is more comfortable than any other carrier I have tried.Packs away well and is light to carry. I would recommend this carrier 100%!

i love my buggy - but sometimes there are occassions where you just need something a little more compact - jumping on the bus, at local markets, public gatherings and getting off the beaten track. i've never been much of a fan of carriers as so many of them look bulky and masculine - that is until i discovered the phil&teds metro - sleek and stylish and lightweight - it's been a dream for getting mobile in crowds and on and off the bus with my two year old. george loves being high and looking out with mums perspective - the harness easily adjusts between my needs and my husbands making it versatile, comfortable and convenient.

A heart positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance called a tracer to look for disease or poor blood flow in the heart.
Unlike magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) and computed tomography
(CT), which reveal the structure of and blood flow to and from organs, a PET scan gives more information about how organs and tissues are working.
A heart PET scan can tell your doctor whether areas of your heart muscle are receiving enough blood, if there is heart damage or scar tissue in the heart, or if there is a build up of abnormal substances in the heart muscle.
Heart nuclear medicine scan; Heart positron emission tomography; Myocardial PET scan
A PET scan requires a small amount of radioactive material (tracer).
You will need to wait nearby as the tracer is absorbed by your body. This usually takes about 1 hour.
Then, you will lie on a narrow table, which slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner.
You must lie still during the PET scan so that the machine can produce clear images of your heart.
Sometimes the test is done in conjunction with stress testing (exercise or pharmacologic stress).
The test takes about 90 minutes.
You may be asked not to eat anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan. You will be able to drink water. Sometimes you may be given a special diet before the test.
Tell your health care provider if:
Always tell your health care provider about the medicines you are taking, including those bought without a prescription. Sometimes, medications may interfere with the test results.
You may feel a sharp sting when the needle containing the tracer is placed into your vein.
A PET scan causes no pain. The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax.
A heart PET scan can reveal the size, shape, position, and some function of the heart.
It is most often used when other tests, such as echocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac stress tests
do not provide enough information.
This test can be used to diagnose heart problems and show areas in which there is poor blood flow to the heart.
Several PET scans may be taken over time to determine how well you are responding to treatment for heart disease.
There are no problems detected in the size, shape, or function of the heart. There are no areas in which the radiotracer has abnormally collected.
Abnormal results may be due to:
The amount of radiation used in a PET scan is low. It is about the same amount of radiation as in most CT scans. Also, the radiation doesn't last for very long in your body.
Women who are pregnant or are breastfeeding should let their doctor know before having this test. Infants and babies developing in the womb are more sensitive to the effects of radiation because their organs are still growing.
It is possible, although very unlikely, to have an allergic reaction to the radioactive substance. Some people have pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
It is possible to have false results on a PET scan. Blood sugar or insulin levels may affect the test results in people with diabetes
Most PET scans are now performed along with a CT scan. This combination scan is called a PET/CT.

WASHINGTON - D.C. police are investigating a recent assault as a hate crime.
At about 1:20 a.m. Saturday, police say a white man was attacked in the 1700 block of Euclid Street in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Northwest D.C.
Three black men approached the victim and stole his iPhone and his wallet. The suspects also beat the man.
The victim told police that during the assault and robbery, the suspects said, "This is for Trayvon Martin."
"The community is absolutely safe and there's no pattern to these type of crimes," says Officer Araz Alali, a D.C. police spokesman.
Alali calls the incident "outrageous." He is optimistic that the suspects will be caught.
The victim suffered from minor injuries.
