This is the kind of boost mediocre warriors need to compete with equally geared paladin threat generation.
How does the new Devastate compare to Revenge in TPS/TPR?
** Edit 22 October because I forgot to divide by 1.10 at the end **
So I went to the PTR to test the new Devastate as patched in on 19 October.
This is the wording of the Devastate tool tip on the PTR...
Applying Devastate gives this in the combat log...Sunder the target's armor causing the
Sunder Armor effect. In addition,
causes 50% of weapon damage plus
35 for each application of Sunder
Armor on the target. The Sunder
Armor effect can stack up to 5 times.
Assumption 1: Based on the ability description and combat log output, I assume that triggering Devastate causes Sunder Armour to be invoked as if you pressed a key to do so, and that they have not made code changes to try and combine the two effects in some way. (Being a lazy programmer, that's exactly how I'd do it =)Your Devastate hits Servant of Razelikh for 44
Servant of Razelikh is afflicted by Sunder Armor
Assumption 2: The innate threat modifier of Devastate has remained a static, additive number. That is, they have not gone and changed it to a multiplier on us.
(It also looks very much like the Sunder effect takes place after the Devastate effect, so the damage mitigation on your third Devastate will be against two Sunders)
- Me, 70 warrior with Defiance and Devastate. All threat generated in Defensive Stance.
- I recruited my roommate to come with his mage, giving me a partner with no innate threat modifiers
- Target: Our old friend Servant of Razelikh in the Blasted Lands as target dummy.
- We both used shiny new http://thottbot.com/i851 to keep error margins small. However, when testing multiple Sunders + Devastate, he used his http://thottbot.com/i28802 to whittle down the majority of the threat I created with the Sunders, then switched to the Cutlass well in advance of the expected aggro transfer.
- I took my shield off to ensure that Shield Specialisation procs would not inject extra threat for the rage gain should I block.
I wrote a little addon to read the combat log and pick out when I hit, when I Devastate, and when I Sunder my target and stores each hit as a threat number unmodified by anything (straight damage numbers as they appear in the combat log; 301 for a Sunder) in a list. It also reads the hits made by my party members and stores them in a separate list. Once the addon detects that my target's target is no longer me, it stops recording data. It then performs the calculation taking modifiers into account and displays the difference in threat as a quick sanity check. All calculations below are done in a spreadsheet based on the recorded damage numbers for verification. The data points themselves are in this thread.
Standing out of aggro range, I performed Bloodrage. Once Bloodrage finished, I walked to the mob and took social aggro. At this point, some combination of Devastate and Sunder Armour was performed. I then ensured that attack was off, and turned my back on the mob. Mage proceeded to autoattack the mob until it turned to him, at which case we ran off and leashed it. As noted above the addon stops data collection the instant my target's target changes, so no extra hits should be collected.
Some tests have autoattack hits in the data points. Since we are not testing for a threat multiplier, the extra threat from autoattacks will fall out in the wash (i.e. some number of the Mage's attacks go to overcoming the autoattack threat) and does not affect the calculated result for Devastate threat.
We expect a significant difference between the calculated amount of threat which does not assume any value for the innate threat of Devastate, and the amount of damage needed by the Mage to draw aggro. We sum all of the Mage's hits except the last one. At this point, we know that the next hit is the one that drew aggro, and so the amount of threat needed to draw aggro was between 1 and the size of the last hit. Using this, we determine a minimum threat and maximum threat for drawing aggro for each data collection. The difference between these threat numbers and the calculated amount of threat should give us the range of the innate threat for Devastate.
One Devastate
Warrior => 346 => 569 with defensive stance, defiance, 110% threat
Mage => 755 to second last hit. Last hit was 10.
Minimum low = 756, delta = 114 ((756 - 569)/1.495/1.10 = 114)
Minimum high = 765, delta = 119 ((765 - 569)/1.495/1.10 = 119)
(This set includes one autoattack for 85 damage)
Warrior => 468 => 770 with defensive stance, defiance, 110% threat
Mage => 961 to second last hit. Last hit was 10
Minimum low = 962, delta = 117
Minimum high = 971, delta = 122
Warrior => 345 => 567 with defensive stance, defiance, 110% threat
Mage => 752 to second last hit. Last hit was 14
Minimum low = 753, delta = 113
Minimum high = 766, delta = 121
Warrior => 344 => 566 with defensive stance, defiance, 110% threat
Mage => 754 to second last hit. Last hit was 17
Minimum low = 755, delta = 115
Minimum high = 771, delta = 125
Range = (115-119)
One Sunder then one Devastate
(This set includes one autoattack for 90 damage)
Warrior => 792 => 1302 with defensive stance, defiance, 110% threat
Mage => 1522 to second last hit. Last hit was 14
Minimum low = 1523, delta = 134
Minimum high = 1536, delta = 142
Range = (135-142)
Two Sunders then one Devastate
(This set includes one autoattack for 90 damage)
Threat done = 1126 => 1852 with defensive stance, defiance, 110% threat
Damage done = 2100 to second last hit
Minimum low = 2101, delta = 152
Minimum high = 2112, delta = 158
Range = (152-158)
Three Sunders then one Devastate
Here the Servant failed us and got to 1% health before the Mage drew aggro. He goes kinda funny for a while at 1% so we just leashed it and left it at that. I'll probably find something with more health to test these cases later.
The important result is that we do appear to get the threat of Sunder and Devastate both. To my thinking, it appears to come from the fact that triggering Devastate also invokes Sunder Armour as if you had done so with a separate keystroke, as assumed above. I'm sure the debate regarding overpowered will rage on, and it may well be scaled back before 2.3 goes live. We shall see.
Another interpretation is that Devastate simply applies the Sunder debuff, and its innate threat has been changed to the 402.
A very interesting thing is the observed amount innate threat of Devastate. Given the triggered Sunder assumption, it appears to have been increased from 101 to (115-119) for zero Sunders, and at first glance (using only one data point for each test) increases by approximately 20 per Sunder already stacked (more results are needed to get a correct value). Perhaps the values are 115/135/155/etc. This could be an error in my calculation or an error in data collection. It could also be an actual change, intentional or not. As before, this could be explained by changing the innate threat of Devastate to 415/435/455/etc. and having Devastate simply apply the effect of Sunder Armour on the target. Ideally, someone else's independent testing will confirm or refute this result one way or the other. A wider array of data points will certainly be needed to be certain and to get an accurate number.
I stand by my initial assumption on the mechanics, given the feedback from the game in the talent description and combat log.
The actual number of Devastate's innate threat will be, of course, needed for updating threat meter addons. However, I think these results should satisfy that the threat generated by a Devastate has been increased, and actually conforms to the statement "the threat of Sunder and Devastate".
This is the kind of boost mediocre warriors need to compete with equally geared paladin threat generation.
How does the new Devastate compare to Revenge in TPS/TPR?
Hey satrina, any way that we could do a test in regards to the 5 stack? if devastate is invoking sunder will it continue to do so after th 5 stack?
interesting findings, i was wondering what the latest ptr patch was for, nothing noted a change to devastate, but didn't have tester to try it out, i'll try to conduct something when i get a chance, and I'm sure Fame is up to helping test as well.
Well, lessee, if you follow the trend on the devastate innate threats, then you'll have 230 innate at 5 sunders for a total of 531 threat of 50% of your weapon damage + 175. With a mallet in my standard gear, this is about 250-260 without much in the way of AP buffs. So all things rolled together you're looking at about 780 base threat per use before modifiers. This divided by 9 gives you ~87 threat per rage. And a straight spam of devastate would give you 520 TPS pre modifier and about 774 TPS post modifier. I'll let someone else match it up with the other ability rankings, but it looks absolutely outstanding.
Considering balance issues, it seems likely to me that once 5 Sunders are stacked, Devastate will just refresh them without applying the additional 301 threat. Including the extra Sunder threat while stacking them easily guarantees that Devastate is better than Sunder in every way while also improving warrior threat early on a bit.
Continuing to add an additional 301 threat to every Devastate for an entire fight, though, would probably be a rather imbalancing increase to warrior TPS. It does seem that they decided the ability could use a threat improvement over the course of a long fight, though, and that would be where the 230 base threat Devastates at 5 Sunders would come in.
At any rate I think regardless of the specifics, they are indeed going to make this Devastate change a nice one that will remove the tedium of switching between Sunder and Devastate.

here's some more data to bolster satrina's findings.
EDIT: Using Jarhead's better read formula:
Threat.required.to.pull / 1.10 = threat.generated.by.warrior / 1.495 = threat.before.multipliers - any.damage = innate.threat
I used a holy priest (Thanks Atuki!), hitting for only 4-5 damage a piece using blacksmithing hammer against the servants of Allistarj.
first test, consisted of NOTHING but 4-5 damage hits, lets just say there's over 170 data points collected:
I hit with an 87 Devastate Crit, followed by a 88 white hit (using a Main Gauche).
His total damage came out to be 953 damage with the last hit being a 9 dmg crit.
953 / 1.10 = 866.36 / 1.495 = 579.51 - 87 - 88 = 404.51 innate threat from using new Devastate. +/-8 since the last hit was 9.
Now my other test:
188 white crit and 45 devastate.
he dealt a total of 1013 damage with last hit being a 5 damage hit.
1013 / 1.10 = 920.91 / 1.495 = 615.99 - 188 - 45 = 382.99 innate threat from using new Devastate. +/-4.
Findings are similar to Satrina, either exactly 402 (see first test) or somewhere close to it (finding #2). Another thing I agree with is that sunders happen after devastate damage, and it shows two casts happening (you devastate, you cast sunder armor).
I didn't do further testing between multiple uses, so its possible what Satrina mentions towards scaling devastate threat is true, no word from me yet on this. Hopefully I can do it tonight.

Graphically speaking, sunder debuff seems to be applied even after the 5 sunders. We always get the big red circle from devastate *and* the blue splash from sunder
Nice work, Satrina!
A question for you, or someone else on the PTR:
Have you attempted to measure the threat of Devastate while in Battle or Berserker Stance?
The combined sunder effect is very welcome for all situations. The additional threat is great for when we want it or don't care (tanking or solo'ing).
My concern is for when we don't want the threat (group/raid situations where you aren't the MT, and wish to contribute DPS).
Edit: Something I just thought of. Having Devastate use a seperate Sunder effect does a lot of things. For one, if you were to hit a target that were for some reason immune to damage at the time of the hit but vulnerable to Sunder Armor, it would still be hit with the Sunder Armor and get Sunder's threat. So you don't have to worry about such a situation where you'd need to be ready to switch to Sunder. Also, it'll make Devastate automatically upgrade to a new rank of Sunder when you get it, I imagine.

Melissa Theuriau is not a marmot.
Regarding Sunders after 5 (as I posted on the WoW forums):
When I cast Sunder on the live server (no Sunder), I get a gold glow animation around my hands. When you cast Sunder with a keystroke, you get the blue aura flash around your target, no matter how many Sunders are currently stacked on it. When you Sunder on the PTR, you get both of the above effects no matter how many times you've Sundered and/or Devastated the mob. It will be good to get some numbers to back it up, but I would think that the Sunders keep getting applied and will bet we continue to see the combined threat.
Regarding Battle/Berserk:
I haven't tested it, no.
Regarding Kazey's numbers:
I'm a little boggled by the differences. WHen I run your numbers the way I did mine, I get innate threat value range of 70-90.
I'm not sure why people are calling overpowered, to be honest. If I'm right in my assumption, Devastate has been changed to an attack that invokes an existing ability for free - two attacks for one GCD. Now think about that. If you wanted to increase a warrior's threat output:
- Without changing something to a scaling model (let's just ignore the debate on scaling threat)
- Knowing that the GCD is the speed limiter for threat generation
- Without introducing yet another button to press (and indeed removing one)
Then this model is pretty much the direction you would have to take.
Edit: Bitesize makes good points. There are good programmatic reasons to just make Devastate simply invoke Sunder. They can reduce the complexity of the Devastate coding. They now have (or maybe always had) the code to say "if user invokes A with a keypress, then invoke B as well"
Hmm, if Devastate continues to get the 301 Sunder threat for the whole fight and if it additionally has gone from 101 base threat to 130 + (20 * Sunders) = 230 base threat on its own, then it gains (301 + 230 - 101) = 430 threat per use. After Defensive Stance and Defiance, 642 threat. Assuming it's used twice per 6 seconds:
642 * 2 = 1284
1284 / 6 = 214
214 additional TPS from the change. Of course, in a real situation you wouldn't be able to maximize that due to other considerations, but still it seems incredibly high to me.
Revenge: Assuming ~20% damage reduction from armor for Revenge, it should average ~368 damage, plus 200 innate. 568 * 1.495 = 849 threat.
Assuming Devastate will hit for 200 damage (easy, obviously), its threat would be (200 + 301 + 230) = 731 * 1.495 = 1092 threat. In a situation where the 7 rage difference between them isn't a huge deal, you get 243 more threat at the least by using Devastate, or another 40 TPS by replacing Revenge in your rotation completely, bringing the TPS difference up to 254+.
Does this really not seem a bit much?
I would not bet the farm on 130/150/etc. innate threat for devastate until it has been corroborated by someone else's data. Kazey's data doesn't show the same innate.
Adjusting to assume Devastate's own base threat is still 101, no scaling on it.
301 * 1.495 = 450 additional threat per use.
450 * 2 = 900
900 / 6 = 150 TPS increase
A 200 damage Devastate would be 900 threat total, beating Revenge by ~50 threat and increasing TPS by ~8 if replaced in the rotation. This probably wouldn't be worth it since the rage difference is almost a whole extra improved HS, so I'm not really going to consider it.
Overall those numbers seem more reasonable to me.

Official pricing for BMW X5M and X6M leaks out
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Apr 26th, 2009 at 5:06PM
The BMW X5M and X6M are all about excess. Excess power (if that's possible), excess girth, and, as we already knew, excess cost. BimmerFile is reporting that the X5M will ding your budget to the tune of $85,400 ($86,225 after $825 destination charge), while the X6M will set you back $88,900 ($89,725 after destination charge). And anyone that has ever priced out a Bimmer with options knows that those prodigious figures are only the baseline of what will no doubt be two even more expensive BMWs. But for nearly $90,000, you get what, for now, are the two most powerful BMWs on the road. Both... Read More

December 2014 – February 2015
Oscars Documentary Short-List Series
Academy & Roxie members must present their membership cards to be admitted free of charge.
Lonnie Franklin Jr was arrested in July 2010 after a 25 year killing spree in which it is thought he could have killed over a 100 victims, potentially making him the most prolific serial killer in history. Significantly his arrest was not the product of painstaking detective work but completely accidental, the result of a computer DNA match that linked him to a possible 20 victims. Franklin now awaits trial. Tales of the Grim Sleeper looks into how it was possible for all this to happen.
The murders all took place in the South Central area of Los Angeles, the poor part of the city with the worst schools, the worst hospitals, and no jobs. The Lonnie Franklin case has become very political in Los Angeles amidst accusations that the reason the killings were able to go on for so long was because the victims were all black African-American women. The murders were all reported as being the killings of prostitutes, even though it now appears many were not.
What is revealed is a police force that didn't care and a community estranged and abandoned from the rest of the city. A police force that for years used the slang term NHI (No Human Involved) for murders of prostitutes, drug addicts and gang members.
In this film we meet all those people the police never talked to. Like a detective story, we are introduced to Lonnie's world. We meet his friends, Richard, Gary, and Steve, who slowly reveal the extent of their knowledge; Jerry, Lonnie's night time companion when he picked up women, and Chris, Lonnie's son, who paint a complicated portrait of a contradictory man; The survivors who narrowly escaped death at Lonnie's hands but would never dream of sharing their experiences with the police.
We meet the amazing women of the Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders, who for over 30 years have fought tirelessly to see justice for the Victims families. Through characters like Pam, who used to work the streets, we are taken on a tour of Lonnie's haunts – the Mustang Motel, The Snooty Fox, the woman who's throat he tried to cut, and the people of South Central LA. We find wit, humour, and humanity in the most unexpected places, and a people who have been dealt a grave injustice that extends far beyond this case.
On December 2, The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts And Sciences announced the preliminary list of documentaries from which the eventual five nominees for Best Feature-length Documentary will be selected for the 87th Oscars®. One hundred thirty-four films were originally submitted. Voting for Academy members begins on December 29 and ends January 8. This series provides a last chance for Bay Area Academy members and the public alike to see some of these docs on the big screen before nominees are voted on and announce.
Academy & Roxie members must present their cards to be admitted free of charge.

GURU ZANE is a video document of a special needs child who's warmth and character transforms his family and caregivers in reciprocal loving devotion.
Zane Robinson, now 14 years old, was diagnosed with Emmanuel Syndrome shortly after birth and he is one of roughly 500 people who have been diagnosed worldwide. The film is a reflection of Zane's daily routine and challenges, as well as their impact on his family. In this simple exploration of Robinson family life spanning the course of two years, they find themselves in a constant journey
to acceptance and understanding of their son as a person. GURU ZANE is an illustration of growth and love that demonstrates the most valuable lessons a family can learn from having a child with special needs.

SF Sketchfest was founded in 2001 by David Owen, Cole Stratton and Janet Varney as a way to showcase the talents of six Bay Area sketch comedy groups: The Fresh Robots, Kasper Hauser, The Meehan Brothers, Please Leave the Bronx, Totally False People and White Noise Radio Theatre. The festival debuted in January of 2002 at the Shelton Theatre in downtown San Francisco and has grown rapidly into a nationally recognized comedy festival that mixes national headliners, local favorites and the best up-and-coming groups from throughout North America for a month of sketch, improv, stand-up and alternative comedy.
Salute to Preston Sturges: "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" with guests Christopher Guest, Michael McKean & Harry Shearer
Preston Sturges (1898-1959) was an American playwright, screenwriter and filmmaker who was considered by many to be the father of the screwball comedy. He won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for "The Great McGinty" and went on to write and direct comedy classics including "Sullivan's Travels," "The Lady Eve," "The Palm Beach Story," "Hail the Conquering Hero," "Unfaithfully Yours," and the film that will be screened at this salute, the uproarious 1944 film "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek." One of the highlights of Sturges's work is his use of an unofficial ensemble 'stock company' of the greatest comedic character actors and actresses of the era. There is a parallel in the work of special guests Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer, who are key members of a modern 'company' of performers who have created amazing ensemble comedies starting with "This Is Spinal Tap" and leading up through "Best In Show," "Teddy Bears' Picnic," "Family Tree" and "A Mighty Wind." They'll present the film live in-person.
$25 All Ages
Christopher Guest
Christopher Guest directed and starred in "Waiting For Guffman," "Best in Show," "A Mighty Wind" and "For Your Consideration," all of which he wrote with Eugene Levy. He also directed and starred in "This Is Spinal Tap," which he wrote with Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Rob Reiner. He received a Grammy Award for the soundtrack of "Best in Show" and an Emmy for "The Lily Tomlin Special." Most recently, he co-created and directed HBO's "Family Tree" with Jim Piddock.
Michael McKean
Recent New York theatre includes "The Band Wagon," "All The Way," "Gore Vidal's The Best Man," "King Lear," "Our Town," "Superior Donuts," "The Homecoming," "The Pajama Game," "A Second Hand Memory," "Hairspray." He is the first million dollar Celebrity Jeopardy champion. Theatre World Award for Rupert Holmes's Accomplice; Grammy for title song A Mighty Wind, written with Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy; Oscar nomination for Best Song A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow, written with Annette O'Toole.
Harry Shearer
Actor…author…director…comedian…musician…philosopher…political satirist…record-company owner…and one of the best "voices" in the business (just ask "The Simpsons"), Harry Shearer is a comic personality and modern day renaissance man.
For the past two decades he has enjoyed enormous success and planted the fruits of his talents in the heads of millions worldwide thanks to his voice work for "The Simpsons," where he plays a stable of characters: most notably Mr. Burns, Smithers, and insufferable neighbour Ned Flanders.

Recipes for Recovery
In early May 1995, Margie Lewis sat on a bench at the Delancey Street Foundation, a residential education center for addicts and ex-convicts in San Francisco, awaiting intake. Until that moment, her life had been defined by institutions—teenage years in the California Youth Authority and long stays in jail as an adult. Enrollment in the program was her last chance—her only alternative to the life sentence that would otherwise be mandated by the state's new "Three Strikes and You're Out" law.
Lewis was filled with optimism. At Delancey, she saw no paid professional social workers, no guards, and little bureaucracy. Instead, the place was run by dozens of people like her, who had been in and out of prison and came here to recover. "I was nervous and excited, sitting there," said Lewis. "I felt like there was a possibility things could be different this time."
In San Francisco, Delancey Street, now celebrating its 40th year, has quietly built a model program that has kept thousands of addicts and ex-offenders from landing back in prison. It isn't just a treatment program—it's an all-hands-on-deck community that recognizes that everyone, even an addict or ex-convict, has a skill to offer others. At Delancey Street, you don't just go through treatment; you are put to work helping those around you rebuild their lives.
Lewis, who had only completed her G.E.D. a few months earlier while in county jail, was tasked with teaching others how to do the same. Former addicts also help their peers kick their addictions. Recovery sessions happen in groups, led by people in recovery themselves. "You hear about yourself from people who know you," said Lewis. "They are your mirrors. Your peers understand the things in your life you have tried to forget through drug use."
Residents also learn at least three marketable job skills through Delancey's business enterprises—run by ex-offenders. They work at one of many ventures such as the on-site restaurant, the moving company, the Christmas tree sales lot, the landscape business, or the digital print shop. The enterprises supply roughly 60 percent of Delancey's funding.
Breaking the Prison Cycle
California is second only to Texas in the number of people in its prisons, according to the Pew Center on the States. The state experienced a prison construction boom after decades of laws that lengthened sentences—even for nonviolent crimes. A report by the California Legislative Analyst's Office shows that, in its first decade, Three Strikes flooded more than 80,000 new inmates into the prison system, many for petty drug possession.
At the end of most sentences is a revolving door that leads back to prison. The formerly incarcerated return to the outside with few of the resources they need to survive—no job, no place to live, and no support network. About two-thirds of those released from the California prison system return there within three years. The cost of maintaining a bloated prison system has drained the state budget. California expects to spend $9 billion on corrections in its 2011-2012 budget, and has had to wrestle with a deficit of more than $25 billion by cutting health care and social services. The human costs of a correction system that tears apart families and communities are even greater.
In contrast, Delancey started as a tiny economic investment that produces giant returns—in the form of recovered ex-addicts and ex-felons who become healthy, contributing members of a community. Delancey's founder, Mimi Silbert, grew up in a poor community on the Lower East Side of New York, the daughter of European Jews. "As the years went by, I began to see people who didn't get out of the ghetto, and who by a hair turn, ended up in prison," she said in an interview with Southern California Woman Magazine.

The other annoying thing for pedants like me is the utter lie of him advertising himself as a 'naked' chef. He was never naked... and now that he's fat, I don't want to see him naked.
A Jamie Oliver recipe with crème fraîche, butter, and sugar . . .
This literally only took ten seconds to find. By the way some of you guys talk his only recipes would involve watercress, tofu, and lentils.
I don't need to have watched every episode of every show he has ever been inb and read all his cookbooks and watched every interview ever done to be able to recognize someone who is acting like a prick.
If he is as great and understanding as you said he is maybe he should act like it instead of putting up completely different personality fronts depending what show he is on. He comes off as one of the fakest people I have ever seen on TV....and yes......Revolution is the ONLY show I base this on....but guess what? Thats all I....or anyone else needs.
If he doesn't want to be judged solely based on one show then maybe he should act better in that show.
I watch a ton of cooking shows and honestly.....I have never seen him on except as like a guest once or twice. Why is it my responsibility to go out and track down and watch shows of his elsewhere? Do I need to listen to every single song released by Madonna to decide I don't like her music...at all? No, I listen to the ones I run into on the radio and judge from there. (just an example....love Madonna)
If you can't handle celebrities being judged by...you know....their shows. Then what exactly should they be judged on? Or should we all just defer to your opinion because apparently you are more informed on this particular celebrity than us?
I am fine with you thinking he is a great guy. Thats your business...... however, everyone has a right to an opinion and yours is no more valid than anyone elses. You have the right to disagree with my opinion all you want....you don't have the right to attack MY right to have an opinion.
Another thing, you're wrong when you say opinions can be no more or no less valid than anyone else's. A person can say that in their opinion the Earth is flat. Or that in their opinion gays are pedophiles. Or that in their opinion the Hindu religion is the only way to go. I agree with you that they have the right to express their opinions (and so do you) but they DON'T have the right to be proven wrong. (On second thought, this is a private message board. We don't have any rights at all.)
Oh come on Star.......just invite Jamie up your way and fuck his brains out....... ........I'm fairly sure he's low in cholesterol too....... .......though not entirely fat free.......
How about everybody stop trying to fucking convince the other person's opinion is wrong and just agree to disagree, think that's possible?
On-topic: He's cute, but where are these "bum" pictures at?
I'm siting here reading this thread and all it's doing is making me sad.
I actually like Jamie Oliver - go onto TED.com and type in his name and watch the speech he gave about the food crisis in America.
I'm married to a THIN chef and my husband is up on all the food theory and health science - what Mr. Oliver speaks about is absolutely correct.
Consider that 75% of every dollar spent on medical care in the US pays for chronic, diet-related disease (this can be found on the CDC and NIH sites).
The claim it's uninsured and illegals making costs soar ignores the fact that uninsured and illegals generally do NOT get care for chronic issues, only acute care.
The reality obscured by insurers who want mandated customers to profit from is that it is the majority of their CURRENT customers who have the *chronic* illnesses that come of bad diets - and why *should* someone with insurance take better care of their health - that's what the insurance is there for - do for them what they won't do on their own.. right?
Given that this translates to 75% of your soon-to-be-mandatory insurance premiums - perhaps we need to pay attention to what Jamie Oliver is saying.
As he said in his TED speech which I will paraphrase here - obesity *alone* costs 150 BILLION dollars a year and it is set to double in the coming decade and we do NOT have that kind of money.
(and what I recently found out also is that pediatric strokes in children 5-15 is up 35% in the past 5 years and the curve on new cases is starting to tick upwards. What's the lifetime cost for care when you're dealing with a 17 year old that's had a decade of diabetes and is obese and requires a triple-bypass? Who's paying for that?)
How much do you want to pay to cover the medical-care costs of those who see food as a way to abuse themselves?
In another two years, come the mandate for insurance. we're going to find out.
I'm glad I'm poor. I won't be paying into this fiasco.

Here's my weirdness about British guys:
The British accent on white guys tends to turn me off (for the most part - Daniel Craig would be one exception) but the British accent on a black guys is kinda' hot
How weird is that?
Jamie is, to me, cuter with an American accent. When he speaks with his British accent, I just don't see it anymore.
Id still play with his ass cheeks and sniff his hole!! Xx
Oliver, who is an international advocate for healthy eating, was in Australia this week to open his Ministry of Food school.…in an effort to promote healthy eating.
The foodie was asked by a reporter if he had gained a few pounds since his last trip Down Under .
Oliver snapped back calling the journalist who quizzed him about his weight a "bitch".
"I don't know. I am very healthy. I think the last time I had a filling in my teeth, which was quite recently, I was in good nick. But really, I am not really sure.
"Are you from a tabloid? Thank you for noticing, you bitch,"
i love james tanner much more! (he's a chef on ready steady coock)
did anyone ch jamie oliver on alan carr chatty man? at one point he got fed chocolate pudding on a dildo, i was wondering if anyone can find a gif or something because i have no idea where to begin when making a gif :P
lol thats funny
He's gotten a bit chunky. Food Revolution, indeed!
Jamie looks so fucking sexy now.
He was on Alan Carr Chatty Man and he has stubble, not too chunky but this gorgeous cuddle perfect weight.
But did anyone see Alan put a dildo covered in cream in his mouth with Jamie thinking it was a wooden spoon and he deep throats it?! Oh my god, I rewound that and slow-motioned it so many times.
I cant believe the number of idiots that said since the name of the show was The Naked Chef, they were expecting to see a naked Jamie Oliver. Really? On a family show? You were expecting him to undress? Colossal stupidity
IMHO, he is sexy and appealing. Like some here I actually find his lisp very sexy too.
Jamie Oliver was filmed slitting open a lambs throat as part of some british cooking show. I think he is a total scumbag.
Well how do you think the food gets to your table
Not my table.... Never has, never will. Besides, lambs look like adorable poodles. You'd have to be a monster to hurt one.
I think our own (greek) naked chef - Akis Petretzikis - is waaaaaay hotter!
Last edited by andonisp; March 27th, 2013 at 06:57 AM.
In the last 12 months, the average vegetable grower has gone from making a small profit to making a loss. In the same 12 months, Mr Olivers wealth rose by an estimated £90 million.

The Round Rock Historic Preservation Commission announced two Local Legend Award nominations at the City Council meeting on Thursday, Nov. 8. Mr. Elmer A. Cottrell and Dr. Thomas Kenney were honored for their contributions to the culture, development and history of the community.
Historic Preservation Commission Chair Jerry Hodges presented the awards to the recipients' families and highlighted some of the accomplishments of each of the award winners.
Elmer A. Cottrell (1910-1979) Mr. Cottrell moved to Round Rock in 1948 to manage the Round Rock Cheese Factory, then one of the town's most important industries, and later became a spokesman for the Associated Milk Producers, Inc. He was elected to the City Council in 1958 and was Mayor from 1965-1968. His contributions to the community included starting the Round Rock Recreation Board, serving the Boy Scouts and FHA, and advocacy for preserving some of Round Rock's historic places, including the wagon ruts in Brushy Creek, the Palm House (now the Chamber of Commerce), and the Round Rock railroad depot (now the Sam Bass Theater).
Dr. Thomas Kenney (1805-1844) and Kenney Fort After serving in the Black Hawk War and the Texas Revolution, Dr. Kenney built a fort that was the first permanent settlement in what would become Williamson County on the south bank of Brushy Creek [in 1838 or 39]. The Fort offered shelter and protection for travellers, trappers, surveyors, and others, enabling the settlement of the area. It also played a key role in several significant events in early Texas history, including the Santa Fe Expedition and the Archives War. In 1844, Kenney and his companions were killed by Caddo or Tawakoni Indians while delivering a wagonload of buffalo hides to market. By the mid-20th century, nothing remained of the Fort. A historical marker sits a half-mile north of the site on US 79.
The Local Legend Awards program was established in 1990. To date, 51 individuals, groups or organizations have been honored. Award recipients are selected based on the following criteria: importance to the City's founding or growth; association with an historic place or event; legacy of service to the community; and/or personal achievements that have brought honor and distinction to the nominee and the City of Round Rock.
This year's nomination and selection process was assisted by a citizen volunteer committee that included Kami Barron, Jesus Franco, Cathy Kincaid, Dale Ricklefs, and Rufus Honeycutt. After reviewing nominations, the committee made its recommendation to the Round Rock Historic Preservation Commission in August.
The selected winners were honored by the City Council at their November 8th meeting. As in the past, Local Legends received a certificate of recognition. Recipients are also recognized on a plaque that lists all winners since the program's inception.
Local Legend Award nominations are accepted throughout the year by the Planning and Development Services Department of the City of Round Rock. For more information, contact Joelle Jordan at 218-5422.

7 Theories Why Obama Keeps Getting Burned (Or Doesn't!) Negotiating with Republicans
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com/spirit of america
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Barack Obama has negotiated deals with the Republicans four times since they won the House in the 2010 midterms. In late 2010, he extended the Bush tax cuts in exchange for extended unemployment benefits and aid to cash-strapped states; in early 2011 they haggled over a threatened government shut-down; that summer we had the first round of debt ceiling shenanigans and this month over the phony "fiscal cliff" that came out of those earlier negotitations. We'll have another round – or rounds -- in the next few months as the budget resolution expires, the debt limit comes up again and the automatic budget cuts known as a sequester looms.
For the most part, progressives have not been terribly happy with the results of these negotiations. Few doubt the president's political acumen, but the conventional wisdom has become that while he can win elections, he tends to get rolled by the GOP. And there are a number of theories for why that is -- and there are also people who argue that it's simply not true.
We rounded up some of the possibilities progressive analysts have offered to explain this dynamic.
1. Obama Hasn't Been Rolled Because He's Really a Closet Republican
According to this line of thinking, Obama has only been thwarted in the sense that he hasn't been able to realize his deeply held ambition of gutting the social safety net. FireDogLake's Jane Hamsher is one of the proponents of this theory, pleading last December for progressives to "please stop pretending Obama is 'capitulating' on Social Security."
Everywhere you look, the media narrative is that President Obama is "capitulating" to Republicans by agreeing to cuts in Social Security benefits.
And I have to ask, where is this collective political amnesia coming from?
Obama has made a deliberate and concerted effort to cut Social Security benefits since the time he took office.
Hamsher offers into evidence a paper laying out possible cuts to "entitlements" that was co-authored by former OMB director Peter Orszag when he was at the Brookings Institution, Obama's creation of the Simpson-Bowles commission, and statements like this one, from a report in the Washington Post:
Obama said that he has made clear to his advisers that some of the difficult choices–particularly in regards to entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare – should be made on his watch. "We've kicked this can down the road and now we are at the end of the road," he said.
Hamsher concludes:
But it's clear that he did not arrive at the decision to "reform" Social Security and cut benefits because he is a poor negotiator, or because of Republican arm twisting. It defies all logic and reason to look at his actions over the years and think that the President is now "capitulating" on Social Security.
2. Say What You Like About the Tenets of National Socialism, Dude, At Least It's an Ethos
Another theory is that the White House recognizes that House Republicans aren't bound by ordinary usual political constraints. Many lawmakers in the Republican party's tea party wing come from safe districts and worry more about a primary from their right than what the polls say Americans want to see happen.
Jonathan Chait likens it to the nihilists in the Coen brothers' classic film, The Big Lebowski. After the latest deal was struck, Chait wrote: "The big reveal from the negotiations is that, as the clock ticked down, the administration feared the consequences of a stalemate and feared the power of nihilistic House Republicans."

COLONIE, N.Y. -- Several water main breaks made a mess of things in Colonie. There were four breaks in total, two on Friday and two on Thursday. They were all in the lower Boght Road and Crabapple Lane areas.
A spokesperson for Colonie says they are all most likely related to Thursday's fire on Elm Street. The increased demand for water to fight the fire put a strain on the system.

[12/21/2014 - formatted list of new Winter 2015 show threads]
Show Anticipation and Discussion Thread Q & A
Q. Who can create show anticipation and discussion threads?
A. Any user may start a new thread about a new or upcoming show, as long as they have enough CR points to start new threads, and as long as there isn't already an active thread for the show.
Click spoiler for more Qs and As...
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Q. What things do I need to put in my opening post for it to count as an anticipation or discussion thread?
A. "Looks" doesn't matter; discussion does.
Some folks like to put an image, a synopsis, links to announcements or previews, as well as other information that may be available, such as cast, studio, and air date, but there is nothing specific that is required. What's most important is that folks use the thread for sharing their excitement and info about upcoming shows and discussing shows in progress.
So, do say enough so others know what show it is, and to get conversation started. With heavily hyped shows you might not need to say much (but you might want to--I know I like it a lot more when the OP shares their opinion about a show or reason why they are looking forward to it), but with others it's going to be helpful to say a few things describing the show and your opinion about it because maybe there are others who would be interested in it but don't know anything about it--help them out! Also, if it's for an upcoming show and you know approximately when (date or season) it's going to start, that's pretty helpful to include since that's the kind of question people ask a lot.
Q. What's the difference between an "Anticipation" thread and a "Discussion" thread.
A. Sometimes you'll see these words in the title of a thread about a specific show (but not always). When you see "Anticipation" it just means the show hasn't started yet and is a little ways off. When you see "Discussion" it means the show has started, or will be starting very soon (within a couple of weeks). If you see "Anticipation and Discussion" as part of a thread title it means the thread was started quite a while before the show started, but that now the show has already started or will be starting very soon and the thread is going to continue discussing it.
Q. How does an "anticipation" thread become a "discussion" thread.
A. If an anticipation thread is still active at the time a show starts airing, then it makes sense to keep the discussion going while the show is airing. I usually notice when this happens and I'll go back and change the title to include "discussion" and make sure the thread gets included in the current season Show Discussion Index. If you see a thread like this you can also PM me to remind me if you think I overlooked it. (I usually try to do this a week or two before a new season starts)
Q. What happens when there is more than one anticipation or discussion thread about a show?
A. When a new thread about a show is started and there's already a thread about it, it's most likely that it will be identified as a duplicate and closed. However, if the existing thread is old and hasn't been posted to in a long time then the old thread is likely to be closed, and I'll add the new thread to the show index if the timing is right.
Exactly how duplicates are handled is at a mod's discretion, and a mod may take a few things into account, but the one thing that usually bears the most weight is how long it's been since someone last posted in a thread. Here are the guidelines I usually follow now:
* If the older thread hasn't been posted to in a large number of months, I'll close it and keep the new thread. This can commonly happen if someone starts a thread when a show is first announced (many months in advance of when the show ends up airing) and not much is posted to the thread after that.
* If the older thread has some activity and the most recent posts aren't all that old, I might contact the OP to ask if they want to add some info and bump it so it can be used for discussion once the show starts, or if they are happy to have a new thread take its place.
* If the older thread was clearly set up with intent/hope of becoming "the" discussion thread and has activity within the past two months, the new thread will be deleted and the old one retained.
Q. What about when there is a second or third season of a show? Do these get their own threads?
A. It depends.
If there isn't a lot of time between seasons and the earlier season thread has remained pretty active, especially with talk in anticipation of the new season, then it often seems more natural to keep the momentum by including the next season discussion in that one thread. In those cases a mod can rename the thread accordingly when it gets close to the beginning of the new season.
If the old thread has pretty much died down (especially likely if there's been a long time between seasons), then starting a fresh thread for the new season is perfectly fine.
On the other hand even if the first season of the show is super popular and the existing thread has grown very large a new thread might be appropriate. For example if it's been a long time since that season, and a separate anticipation thread for the new season has been started and is active, it can make sense for that anticipation thread to become to discussion thread for the new season.
Show Discussion Thread Index
This thread is an index to most, if not all, of the current and recent season anime show discussion threads.
If it's a current season show and it's not listed here, there probably isn't a Crunchyroll Forum discussion thread for it. (If you find one that should be added, reply in this thread or PM me; if it looks like there isn't one and you want one, create it!)
For discussion of older shows that you don't think need their own threads, post in the General Anime Discussions thread.

Can you point me to that? This thread replaces one that has been active in the Anime Forum for almost 2 years. That thread was closed only very recently because the maintainer of that older thread no longer has a CR account. So I don't think this is a true duplicate of another open thread. Were you thinking of the general links thread, or something else?
