text: You are misunderstanding. If Perfect play give me 20k dps on a boss a 30% buff means i'll pull 26k. If i'm shite and only manage to play at 50% effcientcy I do 10k, and get a 30% buff so i now do 13K, If i AFK the entire encounter i do 0k dps,, with a 30% buff i'd still do 0K as 30% of 0 is 0. The buff always gives 30% extra DPS, regardless of you DPS. good players will get more raw numbers out of it that pants players becuase good players have bigger numbers.

Black Hills Ammunition
By Frank Borelli
When a situation gets ugly, you know you have work to do. The question is, do you have the tools to do it? Choosing the right weapons and ammunition will help make every second count. Being properly armed and outfitted is especially critical if you're short on manpower — you'll need all the help you can get.
I recently received an email inquiry from an officer who works an extremely rural area and has limited manpower available for an active shooter response. Having read several articles on the subject, he asked, "Hey; what about those of us who might only have one or two officers to respond at all?" His question started me thinking and I opened a discussion on this topic in a couple of online forums I participate in.
- A primary duty handgun: in 9mm, .40S&W, .45ACP, .357Sig, 10mm, or other decent fighting round. This does not include .380ACP, .25ACP, or anything in .22.
- Plenty of ammunition. One thing that becomes abundantly clear is that having plenty of ammo is imperative. Resupply is problematic at best, and running out is just plain unacceptable. The average cop is most likely carrying a handgun fully stoked and two back up magazines. In a Government Model 1911 .45ACP that's only 22 rounds; in a Glock 22, that's 46 rounds; a Glock 17 equates to 52 rounds and a Beretta 92F (M9) is 46 rounds. While I know plenty of people who believe that 9mm is not powerful enough when facing multiple opponents, would you rather have 22 rounds of .45ACP' or 52 rounds of 9mm? The answer is one that you have to be happy with.
- A back up gun, where authorized. For a lot of people this is a Chief's Special, 5-shot .38 Special. For others it's a pocket-sized semi-auto (.380ACP, like a Walther). For others still, this is a downsized version of their duty gun: where the duty gun is a Glock 17, the BUG is a Glock 26. They use the same magazines and can shoot the exact same ammo. Functionality is identical. To my way of thinking, this is optimal.
- A good knife, or knives. Heaven forbid the fighting becomes a hand-to-hand issue, however, I'd rather have two good folding lockblades than no edged weapon at all. One is better than none. They don't have to be fixed blades and they don't have to be huge. I'm not referring to the stuff that will scare your chief executive officer into a liability coma. However, if you can, carry a decent fixed blade knife.
- Flashlight(s). Parts of every structure can be dark if the power is out. Take the light with you, twice. After all, it's only your ass on the line.
All right, we know there is plenty of stuff every law enforcement officer carries that I have not listed. Things like handcuffs, OC spray, utility tools, rubber gloves, etc. Why did I leave these out? Because in a close quarters shooting battle, what do they matter? I've never heard the words "affect an arrest" used in active shooter training. Active shooter response is about an aggressive and violent response to an aggressive and violent action. "Drop your gun or I'll shoot," isn't an option. Shoot. Stop the threat. Handcuffs are for after the shooter is down and incapacitated. OC spray? Maybe as a distraction when you're at the hand-to-hand fighting position. Rubber gloves? Assuming a "holy cow, everything has gone to hell in a handbasket" active shooter scenario, rubber gloves won't be enough to keep the blood off you.So, what do we add to the list? For active shooter response, even where plenty of manpower is available, there are certain equipment recommendations. These items become more important if you're in a limited manpower situation:
A Long Gun: Shotgun, Carbine or RifleI know a number of experts who believe the shotgun has limited use in an active shooter situation. One comment was, "Why take 200-year old technology into the gunfight?" I understand this outlook, especially as it's applied to common buckshot ammo. When the enemy is 70 yards away, 00 buck will do you no good, and might spread out far enough to hit an unintended target. Slugs are an option, but are abusive to shoot and inaccurate past 25 yards or so. Today though, an option does exist for law enforcement: PolyShok. Anytime you can fire the equivalent of a slug with the recoil of 8-shot and head-shot accuracy at 50 yards, that's not 200-year old technology. Further, the energy delivered to the enemy is incapacitating and devastating, even if he's wearing body armor. To me, this makes the shotgun a viable active shooter option, especially in light of how often one can be found in cruiser trunks.
The carbine is certainly better than going in with only a handgun. It will increase your accurate shot placement distances out to between 50-100 yards; farther if you practice. Still, let's be realistic: this is a long barrelled handgun. The added range is excellent; the increased accuracy at distances less than 50 yards is magnificent; but this is not a weapon that will penetrate body armor or deliver disabling hits on body armor. In this vein, I like the idea of the Beretta CX4 carbine, used in combination with the Beretta PX4 pistol. Since they are the same caliber, they use the same magazine, making it easier to carry extra loads for both weapons.Finally, the rifle! The rifle is the weapon that was designed for one of two purposes: To hunt large game (animals that weigh in excess of 150 pounds); and to hunt men.
- Rifle: with a minimum of six 30-round magazines;
- Shotgun: With an extended mag tube, six on the side shell holder; and as many more as I can carry in my pockets;
- Carbine: With all the appropriate magazines I can carry.
All law enforcement officers should be wearing body armor. Level III is quite common in normal duty cases, but what about going into a known high-risk high-threat area? Upgraded body armor and/or plates are required. Remember, "Every bullet fired at you is one less fired into a victim." How many rounds can you absorb? You–not so many. Good armor–more. For this reason I recommend having a response vest in your cruiser that incorporates another layer of armor and/or plates. That same vest can hold your extra rifle magazines and extra handgun magazines. I recommend the Rapid Deployment Body Armor Bag. It's my understanding that P.A.C.A. is now manufacturing that bag. Check it out.What about armor for your head? How many cops actually have a ballistic helmet in their trunk? If so, how many have put it on? And of those who have put it on, how many have trained with it on? I can tell you from experience that training with the helmet on (especially when prone) isn't as easy as doing it without any headcover. But shrapnel, flying debris and bullets can present a real threat to your head. Protect it. And as a final option, if you're strong enough and can train with it, use a body bunker or shield. I find bunkers heavy and cumbersome. However, the Baker Batshield is a folding soft-armor shield that can be used in its carry case or out. It is a Level III armor shield that is easy to train with. One of these in each trunk would be a good idea.Now that we have basic equipment covered, what about tactics?. One man cannot cover a 360-degree threat environment. Risks have to be taken. In this instance, speed equals security. While we train in active shooter response to go past closed doors, and move through hallway intersections depending on our wing men, how do you accomplish this as a single operator? You have to check open doors and corners. If you hear shots down the hall and around the corner, should you pause to check open doors along the way? This is going to require nerves of steel and a quick analytical ability.Each door presents more information. Is it open or closed? If open, do you hear voices? screams? shouts? Are the lights on or off? Perhaps most importantly, (if you've trained and are on your game) do you feel a threat exists there as you move? If you're a lone operator going into an active shooter situation, you will have to depend on your instincts in a large way. The more you've trained under high stress, the more accurate your instincts will be. Lower levels of training can result in stress overload when it comes to the real deal. When stress overload occurs, all of your instincts and perceptions are suspect. If you're a lone operator and know that your backup is 10 minutes away, and shots are blasting inside the school, do what you have to do:
- Do take the time to armor up with what you have.- Do equip yourself as best you can with what you have.- Do communicate your arrival and intentions. Expect to be ordered not to make entry.- Do advise what door you are entering, and what intel you can offer before making entry. If you can maintain an open mike as you go, do so. If not, update as circumstances permit.- Do move as fast toward your target as your instincts and capabilities permit.- Do engage without hesitation. Every wasted second is potentially another innocent life.- Do your best to look high and low as you move. Improvised Explosive Devices are common at active shooter scenes. Trip wires can be hard to see.

text: Here's a group who definitely live up to their name – a damn funky 70s act from Nigeria, with a tight, righteous groove that's completely outta sight! The Funkees have an approach that's a lot more compact than Fela, and a lot more soulful than some of their more tripped-out contemporaries – and they also had some recording experience in London, which possibly gave them an even hipper focus – like some of the great post-colonial combos that were brewing up sounds on the British scene of the 70s! This wonderful package brings together the best of the group's work – their rare early Nigerian 45s, and key cuts from the UK albums – all with the incredible Soundway ear for a groove – meaning that The Funkees sound pretty darn funky all the way through. Titles include "Mimbo", "Dancing Time", "Break Through", "303", "Life", "Ole", "Akpankoro", "Abraka", "Acid Rock", "Slipping Into Darkness", "Point Of No Return", and "Dancing In The Nude". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

With its bulbous cabin and tiny wheels pushed to the corners of the car, the 2012 Mitsubishi i-Miev resembles an overgrown golf cart. It drives like one, too, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
The i-Miev is the second purely electric car, after the Nissan Leaf , to be offered from a major automaker in this decade. Compared with the Leaf, the i-Miev is certainly the economy car of this two-car segment.
Instead of the electric parking brake of the Leaf, the i-Miev comes with a classic e-brake lever. Where the Leaf lets you remotely schedule recharging and access a list of electric charging stations in its navigation system, the i-Miev has a small range gauge and a plug.
The i-Miev's base price of $29,125 accounts for those differences. However, CNET's SE trim model, with its premium option package, went for $35,085, pretty close to a similarly equipped Leaf. The i-Miev qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit, with potential state tax credits and other benefits, such as use of HOV lanes, thrown in. With that factored in, the price can be brought down to the low 20s.
Instead of designing a car from the ground up, as Nissan did with the Leaf, Mitsubishi converted its i model, not sold in the U.S., to an electric drive system. The i is a kei-segment car in Japan, a type of car designed for the sprawling metropolis of Tokyo and other cities, and not particularly suitable for long-range excursions.
The i-Miev does not try to reach beyond the city, or suburbs, either. Its 16 kilowatt-hour lithium ion battery pack gives it an EPA range of only 63 miles. And while the immediate push from the electric drivetrain is reasonable, it starts to lag above 30 mph, making freeway merging a daredevil exercise. When I drove it across the windswept San Francisco Bay Bridge, the lightweight i-Miev felt like it might get blown over the side.
Add to these poor freeway manners the fact that the range goes down rapidly at high speeds, and the conclusion can only be that the i-Miev is best driven in the city or suburbs. Its length of just over 12 feet makes it easy to park, also a benefit in the city. The extreme front drop-off made it initially difficult to judge how close I was to other cars ahead. I always had a few extra feet in front after parking.
Following its i-car roots, most of the i-Miev's electric drive system is packaged around the rear axle. The i-Miev is actually rear-wheel-driven. Mitsubishi includes a 110-volt adapter cable, which takes 22.5 hours for a full charge, and offers an optional 240-volt charging system that owners can install in their garages. That 240-volt system only takes 7 hours to restore the charge.
I left the car, with a near-dead battery, plugged into the CNET garage's 110-volt outlet for 24 hours, and came back to a range reading of 65 miles.
Helping the i-Miev maximize range is a regenerative brake system. The power gauge on the instrument cluster shows when it is using power and when it is recharging. Hit the brakes or just let it coast, and the needle goes into the blue.
Among the drive modes on the i-Miev's shifter are Eco and B. Eco mode detunes the accelerator pedal, making for slower starts but less energy usage. It also activates heavier brake regeneration. In Eco mode, as I coasted toward a stoplight, the car slowed more quickly than when left in D, with the power gauge showing greater regeneration.

Editor's note: Some of the audio in this story may contain explicit language.
WASHINGTON - Twelve young spoken word artists put their talents on full display Saturday night in a poetry slam competition that included a chance to join this year's D.C. Youth Poetry Slam Team.
The bright, fierce poets competed at the Gala Hispanic Theater on 14th Street and was the third round of the selection process; the poets previously completed interviews and auditions.
Gaithersburg resident Thomas Hill took third place. While he's only been performing for six months, he says he's now more at ease on stage.
"I'm only comfortable because I have a whole team to back me up," says Hill, whose stage name is "Vocab."
The poets were scored on a 10-point scale for creativity, originality, performance and overall poem. Each poet performed two pieces in a three minute time limit.
Amina Iro, a junior at Roosevelt High School, dedicated one of her poems to the victims of the Newtown elementary school mass shooting.
"Twenty-six lives stolen, most of age too young to understand the letters by which they are listed in age," she said in part of her poem. Iro placed second in the competition.
The D.C. Youth Slam Team is part of the Split This Rock youth program. The organization holds weekly workshops and monthly youth open mic slams at the Busboys and Poets location on 5th Street and K Street in Northwest D.C.
Poet McKenzie Hahn, 17, suffers from five chronic pain diseases. Poetry has become an outlet for her in recent years.
"I'm really glad that I found it because I don't know where I would be right now if I didn't have that," says Hanh, who goes by "Kenny."
Hahn says she's been performing spoken word poetry for two years and, along with classmate Asha Gardner, created the Woodrow Wilson High Slam Team one year ago.
Gardner, 17, had a special night of her own. She placed first in the competition, receiving the most perfect scores from the judges.
"I love poetry. It's all I do," Gardner says.
The competition is real, but for the competitors, it's also friendly.
"Even though we compete against each other all the time, we crack jokes, poke at each other and try to mess each other up," Gardner says. "At the end of the day it's all love."
The top three from the slam finals also have a chance to join the 12-poet team which will represent Split This Rock and the District at the Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam Festival this summer in Chicago.

"The professors go above and beyond to make sure you really understand the material."
Francisco Urena was part of an elite group on UMass Lowell's campus. He is a veteran of the U.S. military. The Lawrence-born Marine served his country overseas and was stationed in faraway places such as Iraq and Syria. It was during this time that he sustained a serious injury and was subsequently awarded the distinguished Purple Heart Award.
Back home in the Merrimack Valley, Urena transferred from Bunker Hill Community College and completed his education at UMass Lowell. He balanced a full-time course-load with his job as Director of Veterans Affairs for the City of Lawrence. "I think my military background helped me prepare for the kind of discipline it takes to work and go to school at the same time," he says. Now he's commissioner of Veterans Services for the City of Boston.
Urena was attracted to UMass Lowell for the "ease with which I could transfer my community college credits." He was also impressed with Chancellor Marty Meehan's commitment to veterans, helping them continue their education. "It's great to see so many veterans in the classroom as part of the campus community," he says. "I know the Chancellor has been a big advocate for us."
In regard to his experience at the University, Urena admires the dedication of his instructors. "The professors go above and beyond to make sure you really understand the material," he says. "I've seen them come to class early and stay late to go the extra mile for their students."

Magpie on the Clock Tower?!
Another succesfful seaon of peregrine watching has drawn to a close. Our sadness at the failure of the eggs has been some-what made up for by the excellent views of the adults we have been getting. The birds have been having a lovely relaxed time of it, preening and dozing on the clock tower. Both birds look very well fed and in good health, which means that they should be in excellent condition for next breeding season-fingers crossed!
It has been very quiet on the clocktower with little action to report. However, one day in the final week of the project we had a visit from a very cheeky magpie, who investigated the peregrine nest right under the noses (or should that be ceres!) of both peregrines! Fortunately for Mr Magpie, neither peregerine noticed him, lost in their own vanity they were too busy preening! What makes it worse was the fact that the RSPB had just finished explaing that peregrines are one of nature's great predators-thanks guys, made us look like right mugs!
All that remains is for me to thank you for your interest in this project. We have met so many enthusiastic people and have heard some fantastic wildlife stories. Please keep watching those birds! Hope to see you all next year!

I find it wonderfully ironic that I share the name of the man who many say was the fastest to ever play baseball.
Ironic, because speed afoot was never my gift, as it was for James "Cool Papa" Bell.
Another legend from the old Negro Leagues, Satchel Paige, was once asked just how fast Cool Papa was. Satch replied, "He can turn the light out and be in bed before the room gets dark."
Paige also asserted that Bell once hit a line drive off him, and the ball whistled past Paige's head and hit Bell in the buttocks as he slid into second base.
Now that's fast.
Bell was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.
So what does raw speed have to do with writing? Just this. When you write your first drafts, write as fast as you comfortably can. Even force yourself past the comfort zone on occasion. Whether you're an outliner, a seat-of-the-pantser, or anything in between, when you're getting those first pages down, burn rubber.
Why? Because there is so much good stuff in your writer's brain that needs to climb out of the basement and sniff the fresh air. You have to put your head down and butt the inner editor who stands at the basement door, telling you to be careful, slow down, don't make a fool of yourself.
It's also a way to just plain old get started when the "mountain" of the full novel looms ahead.
Write fast.
Since next month is NaNoWriMo, writing fast is on the agenda. And lest someone sniff about how that only produces junk, consider:
-- William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying in six weeks, writing from midnight to 4 a.m., then sending it off to the publisher without changing a word.
-- Ernest Hemingway wrote what some consider his best novel, The Sun Also Rises, also in six weeks, part of it in Madrid, and the last of it in Paris, in 1925.
-- John D. MacDonald is now hailed as one of the best writers of the 1950's. Within one stunning stretch (1953-1954) he brought out seven novels, at least two of them – The Neon Jungle and Cancel All Our Vows –masterpieces. The others were merely splendid. Over the course of the decade he wrote many more superb novels, including the classic The End of the Night, which some mention in the same breath as Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.
So prolific was MacDonald that he was needled by a fellow writer who, over martinis, sniffed that John should slow down, ignore "paperback drivel," and get to "a real novel." John sniffed back that in 30 days he could write a novel that would be published in hardback, serialized in the magazines, selected by a book club and turned into a movie. The other writer laughed and bet him $50 that he couldn't.
John went home and, in a month, wrote The Executioners. It was published in hardback by Simon & Schuster, serialized in a magazine, selected by a book club, and turned into the movie Cape Fear. Twice.
--Ray Bradbury famously wrote his classic Fahrenheit 451 in nine days, on a rented typewriter. "I had a newborn child at home," he recalls, "and the house was loud with her cries of exaltation at being alive. I had no money for an office, and while wandering around UCLA I heard typing from the basement of Powell Library. I went to investigate and found a room with 12 typewriters that could be rented for 10 cents a half hour. So, exhilarated, I got a bag of dimes and settled into the room, and in nine days I spent $9.80 and wrote my story; in other words, it was a dime novel."
--Jack London was anything but promising as a young writer. He could hardly string sentences together in a rudimentary fashion. About all he had was desire. A burning desire. So he shut himself up in a room and wrote. Daily. Sometimes 18 hours a day. He sent stories off that got returned. He filled up a trunk with rejections. But all the time he was learning, learning. When he died at the age of 40 he was one of the most prolific and successful writers of all time.
It is in re-writing and editing that you slow down, cool off and shape what you've written. First drafts invariably need a lot of work. In re-write you deepen the prose and establish your style, sharpen your scenes and flesh out your characters. You can take your time here (with deadlines in mind, of course).
My own approach is to do my day's quota fast then spend time the next morning editing the pages before moving on. And once I do those edits, that's it till the end of the draft. As Satchel Paige said, "Don't look back, something may be gaining on you."
So when you first commit words to page, write fast. It helps you discover hidden "story stuff." This is especially important for newer writers. You learn most about writing a full length novel by actually writing a full length novel, and the sooner the better.
Write your first drafts like James "Cool Papa" Bell stealing second, then edit them like Satchel Paige, who took things slow and easy.
So how do you approach your first drafts? Do you like to type fast? Or do you agonize over sentences and paragraphs before moving on? Is Cool Papa writing something you'd like to try?

34th ANNUAL HEMINGWAY DAYS SET FOR JULY 15-20, 2014
KEY WEST, Florida Keys Whether composing novels in his Whitehead Street writing studio or fishing for big game in local waters, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway left a powerful legacy in Key West. His zest for life, literary accomplishments and enduring affection for the island he called home throughout the 1930s are to be commemorated Tuesday through Sunday, July 15-20, 2014, during the annual Hemingway Days celebration.
Scheduled events include a look-alike contest for stocky white-bearded men resembling Hemingway, readings and book signings, an awards ceremony for the renowned literary competition directed by author and Hemingway granddaughter Lorian Hemingway, a commemoration of the 115th anniversary of Ernest's July 21 birth, a museum exhibit of rare Hemingway memorabilia, a zany "Running of the Bulls" and a three-day marlin tournament recalling Hemingway's devotion to the deep-sea sport.
During his Key West residence, Ernest Hemingway wrote some of his most enduring works and spent his leisure hours fishing and socializing with local and literary cohorts. Each year, fans of his writing and exuberant lifestyle come together for Hemingway Days.

About 125 stocky, bearded men gather in Key West each year to prove their resemblance to a judging panel of past contest winners and take part in many other Hemingway Days events.
Ernest Hemingway look-alikes push life-size, fake bulls during the "Running of the Bulls" Saturday, July 20, 2013, outside Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West, Fla. The hijinks spoofed the event of the same name in Pamplona, Spain.

Fernando Alonso has billed his Indian GP as an "uphill" battle following first lap damage.
Trying to make up positions at the start, the double World Champion had contract with Mark Webber who was pushed into his path by Kimi Raikkonen.
Alonso suffered front wing damage and had to pit on Lap 2 for repairs, which dropped him down to P20.
However, with his F138 also suffering issues with the steering, he only managed to work his way up to 11th.
"It was not a clear start," said the Spaniard.
"I was a bit unlucky because I think Mark was also having contact with someone and the third part of that equation was me. And I had a battle in corner four as well [with Jenson Button].
"The race was uphill from that moment.
"It was a difficult race, with not enough pace. The car was damaged. The steering wheel was very heavy into the right corners and light into the left corners."
But while Alonso had a disappointing afternoon, the same cannot be said of his nemesis Sebastian Vettel.
The Red Bull racer claimed the victory, his sixth on the trot, and yet another World title.
"I congratulate Sebastian Vettel, they have been very strong and dominant, especially in the second half of the season and Red Bull deserve to be Champions.
"We need to start thinking about next year and make things more difficult for him."

Cigars International shows you the most effective way to calibrate your hygrometers!
Contact us:
How to Calibrate a Hygrometer
A hygrometer is an instrument that is used to measure the humidity ofthe air inside your humidor.
Not all hygrometers are perfectly accurate all the time, which is why its crucially important to calibrate them every 6 months.
A hygrometer reads in percentagefrom 0-100%. The optimum humidity for cigars however, is 70%.
There are two types of hygrometers,analog and digital. Although analog hygrometers are most common,digital hygrometers are far moreaccurate and will give you a moreprecise reading.
In order to effectively calibrate your hygrometer, you'll need to
preform a "Salt Test".
When the proper amount of salt ismixed with water, it omits exactly
75% humidity. This mixture will create the perfect environment to
calibrate your hygrometer. If done properly, your hygrometer will read 75% when finished. If not, you'll need to adjust it.
Items you'll need: table salt, distilled water, a bottle cap, a Ziploc bag, and a small flat-head screw driver.
Step One: create a salt and water mixture. Fill the bottle cap 3/4
full with table salt.
Take a few drops of distilled water and pour it onto the salt. You are looking for a cake like consistency.
Be careful, too much water can dissolve the salt!
Step Two: place your hygrometer and salt mixture in a Ziploc bag. Seal the bag, leaving a little bit of air in it and wait 12 hours.
Step Three: after 12 hours have passed, jot down the reading of the hygrometer, while it's still in the bag. If it's not reading 75%,
you'll need to adjust it.
Step Four: adjusting your hygrometer. Take a small screwdriver and insert it into the slit in the back of the hygrometer. Turn the slit until it reads 75%.
Digital hygrometers however, are far more accurate and very rarely
have large discrepancies. If by chance a mismatch does occur, and the hygrometer does not have an adjustment feature, simply note the variance on a piece of paper and toss it into the humidor so that you'll always remember the unit is
+ or - 75%.
Congratulations, your hygrometer is now calibrated to ensure a near perfect environment for your cigars!

reversible tote bag

Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.Back To Product View All From This Designer

Leaving aside the balancing issues that plagued Wintergrasp early on (Tenacity ftl), I really enjoyed Wintergrasp. There were lots of ways to participate which kept it fresh. If you wanted to sit in a tower, eat lunch and pew-pew with a cannon that was fine. If you wanted to run with the zerg and kill the opposing faction, that was fine. If you wanted to protect or capture nodes, that was fine. If wanted to run around in tank and blow crap up, that was fine. Big, sprawling, evenly matched Wintergrasp battles were the closest the game has come to classic AV. So I'm cool with bringing it back.
Tol Barad on the other hand I could do without. I don't miss that terribly designed zergfest.
Mike makes a good point about the VOA and BH being the real reason folks did Wintergrasp and Tol Barad. The best battles were always mid-week after the reset. Without the carrot, there may not be as much interest in those old sticks.
I have no opinion on the WOW security lawsuit. As a guild officer, I've opened many, many tickets regarding hacked accounts of guild members. I don't doubt at all that Blizzard takes account security seriously, but I do think authenticators should be bundled with the game by default. I don't think the burden should be on the players to opt into the system. Also I think it's worth pointing out that the McDonald's coffee lawsuit is not the the frivolous affair urban legend would have folks believe. The poor woman at the center of the case was hospitalized with third degree burns and required skin grafts. I'm sure it was no joke to her.

Airport Studio is a design studio based in Utrecht in The Netherlands and made up of three Dutch lads - Vincent de Boer, Maurits Wouters and Bram Broerse. They work on a variety of projects including branding, editorial and web. I found them through typographyserved.com via a post entitled Tempting Typography - a workshop they held for a local graphic design festival. Their processes are fun and inventive resulting in well thought through and above all beautiful designs.
