As garage doors slowly open, the spartan practice room is revealed: an indoor golf studio with a green carpet floor specked with square golf hitting mats that transforms into a covered driving range. Located inside a stately, sandstone-brick clubhouse, the practice area serves as the practice grounds of Colorado State University golf teams and ground zero for the Golf Academy of Northern Colorado, where golfers consult PGA-certified instructors about their golf swing rather than waiting in vain for Jack Nicklaus?s spirit animal to appear in their dreams. Outside, players take advantage of a practice facility featuring tee box training as well as a short game area.
With very few trees on the course, golfers' views of the Rocky Mountains—which soar across the western horizon—are seldom obstructed at Saddleback Golf Club. The open terrain also makes the lengthy, 7,090-yard layout more manageable, as golfers can consistently reach for their driver off the tee. Even with an open expanse, golfers are constantly challenged, as most of the course's greens are heavily fortified with sand and grass bunkers, and two holes—the par-three 4th and the par-four 16th—feature de facto island greens, almost fully wreathed by water hazards. Simply reaching the putting surface does not guarantee a good score, as the course's large, multi-tiered greens will make for many long, hard-to-read putts. To prepare for the round, golfers can take a flyover tour of the course.
Though the course is a serious challenge, Saddleback Golf Club encourages golfers of all stripes to enjoy their time on the links. While the scorecards at most clubs include a recitation of basic rules and etiquette, Saddleback's card strikes a much more laid back tone, imploring players to "have phun" and "kick your ball if you hit a bad shot," while reminding them that "scoring is optional." The carefree vibe extends to the Club's instructional programs, where golf pros pass on birdie-hunting wisdom and caddie scolding tactics.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course designed by Andy Johnson * Length of 7,090 yards from the farthest tees * Course rating of 72.5 from the farthest tees * Slope rating of 130 from the farthest tees * Five tee options * Scorecard
Nature meets the city at CommonGround Golf Course. As golf balls crest through the air, the verdant Colorado Front Range and the steely Denver skyline both stand proudly behind the 18-hole terrain. A lengthy undertaking at 7,229 yards from the back tees, the course was designed by architect Tom Doak—former student of the legendary course designer Pete Dye and creator of four courses currently listed among Golf Magazine's top 100 in the world. Mr. Doak installed four sets of tees so that players of all skill levels could navigate the densely lush fairways, putt on the carpet-like greens, and sketch loving portraits of him into the frequent bunkers.
Alongside the 18-hole championship course lies the nine-hole par 3 course, a testament to CommonGround's commitment to growing the game. Youngsters will enjoy the kid-friendly length, with holes averaging a shade over 100 yards.
Framed by the peaks of the Flatirons to the south and the Rocky Mountain foothills to the west, Lake Valley Golf Club's 18-hole, links-style course winds through scenic terrain for a visually dynamic round of golf. On the front nine, golfers navigate frequent elevation changes that permit views of the area's many natural sights. The back nine presents a distinct layout as it curves through marshland dotted with ponds and populated by birds and other native wildlife. A private course, Lake Valley typically lets golfers complete their round in less than four hours.
The club's practice facilities include a driving range, a 70-yard short-game practice area, and a large putting green. Golfers may want to warm up before the round, as the course does not lend itself to slow starters?the third hole is the course's signature track and most difficult, showcasing a 460-yard par four with a challenging double-dogleg. After the round, golfers can retire to the Persimmon Grill and enjoy a drink and eat seasonal, gourmet, grill fare.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 70 course * Length of 6,891 yards from the tips * Course rating of 72.5 from the tips * Slope rating of 135 from the tips * Six tee options * Scorecard and course tour
Haystack Mountain Golf Course bears many features that remind players of the history of the land beneath their golf spikes, a history that stretches way back before a tee ever pierced it. An original 1850s settlers' shack still stands on the 240-acre plot, as does an early 1900s horse barn?which today stores golf equipment now that horses have been replaced by golf carts. And then of course there's Left Hand Creek and Haystack Mountain itself, home to the Arapahoe tribe and hardscrabble settlers in the 19th century.
Today, golfers enjoy those same pristine views of Haystack Mountain and the Flatirons as they play the nine-hole, links-style layout. Left Hand Creek bifurcates the course and comes into play on four holes. A scant 2,153 yards with a par of 32, the course is a scenic place for beginners to take up the game and for their more seasoned counterparts to work on their touch on the greens.
Course at a Glance: * 9-hole, par 32 course * Total length of 2,153 yards from the back tees * Two sets of tees per hole * View the scorecard
Collindale Golf Academy's PGA Director of Instruction Vince Buelk calls upon 18 years of experience to shore up the pin-hunting panache of golfers of all abilities. The passionate pedagogue develops the academy's club-flailing curriculum and puts it into practice at its stately facilities, which include a full-length driving range, an oversize putting green, and a practice bunker ideal for wedging balls out of sunken lies and replacing them with incriminating scorecards. The academy's thriving junior program strives to develop an affinity for the game at a young age, and club-fitting services pair each unique swing with its crooked-stick soul mates. Though the academy's kempt lawns, mountainside vistas, and lush pines affect a sense of old-time rusticity, its instructors utilize the latest in technological teaching aides, including V1 video-swing-analysis software and pitching wedges that double as prosthetic hooks for grabbing cookies on the high shelves.

We stayed in this house for a weekend. It was great, spacious room, nice view, saunas etc. The breakfast was appropriate. The staff was very helpful, all the time with a smile. The only thing we did not like is that the wifi is charged 2eur for on hour, that's quite a lot, it should be free.

I noticed PSA sells uppers and kits with a chrome lined chrome moly barrel and they sell uppers with a chrome lined hammer forged chrome moly barrel. I"m not going to shoot enough to ever wear out a barrel I don't think, and I understand a hammer forged is suppose to be harder steel. Is there an accuracy advantage one over the other??? Any other advantage???

Mashiko Potter In Minnesota

Lee Love Ikiru Pottery - 2007 Residency Recipient Lee Love by Rob Silberman
"Mingeisota" can be just a clever tag, a simple way of referring to Warren MacKenzie and the many other potters in Minnesota who combine a commitment to the Anglo-Asian ceramic tradition of Leach and Hamada with a Midwestern devotion to straightforward utilitarian ware. Yet in the case of Lee Love the term may have greater validity, since Love is a kind of one-man bridge between Japan and the United States.
Born in Japan to an American father and a Japanese mother, Love did not grow up or do his undergraduate education in Minnesota; that took place in Michigan (which does not offer the same punning possibilities). He came to Minnesota because of the presence of the master at the Zen Center, Katagiri Roshi. But after the Roshi's death, and bearing in mind statements by both a Zen master and a Tibetan one that suggested artistic creativity could provide its own path to enlightenment, Love turned to ceramics. He took classes at the University with Curt Hoard and Mark Phans- Linda Sikora was a teaching assistant-and then worked in a studio space at Northern Clay Center. Eventually Love became an apprentice for three years in Mashiko, Japan, with Living National Treasure (and Regis Master) Tatsuzo Shimaoka, then stayed on for five years more with his wife, Jean, a printmaker and the person who first introduced him to MacKenzie's ceramics.
Love seems unusually clear about his relationship to the Mingei tradition. Like MacKenzie, Love is not nostalgic; he is committed to making functional pottery that is of its place and time. He says that if he were working in earthenware, he would turn elsewhere for inspiration-to Europe, or Native American pottery. But in stoneware, he believes the greatest achievements have been in Japan, Korea, and China. Love is aware of the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary Japanese ceramic culture, and he has been steadily developing his own personal approach. That means working through the influences of the artists he reveres and establishing his own view of Mingei, which stresses the role of nature.
Love's McKnight year has been a period of settling back into life in the Twin Cities and becoming an American potter once again. In practical terms, that means finding clays and glazes equivalent to those he was using in Japan. The process can be complicated. What is referred to as shino in the United States, for example, is not the same as what goes by that name in Japan (and is not regarded by Japanese as shino, just as no Frenchman would regard even the finest California sparkling wine as true champagne).
So far, however, so good. Love has been finding suitable local materials, and exploring a variety of forms and surface treatments. He believes that Japanese culture, and Japanese ceramics, are more delicate than the American, and says he has been developing "more robust" works. On the other hand, Love's years in Japan gave him a more precise knowledge of tea ceremony ceramics, and he is working to create tea vessels that are not tea bowls in a vague sense, as is sometimes the case in America, but satisfy the more stringent requirements of the tea ceremony as practiced in Japan.
Impressed by the catalogue for an exhibition by Hamada, who displayed seventy-seven cups for his seventy-seventh birthday, Love will present fifty-five cups for his fifty-fifth birthday. The tea ceremony bowl is the ceramic equivalent of a sonnet: a small-scale, seemingly constricted form that challenges the artist to go beyond mere technical virtuosity and find an approach that both satisfies and transcends the conventions.
Love is already looking forward to pursuing other ideas: working on a larger scale; making funerary urns (he has so far done one for a friend, and a few others for dogs); finishing the transformation of his garage into a studio, where he might teach ceramics to neighborhood children. Love is also planning to sell mugs at the local farmer's market, an idea that may show a touch of Zen in its simple practicality, but is also just so ...Mingeisota.

Gas Upgrade For My Olympic Torchbearer Kiln.
Just looking at the new rig, you understand why the plumber and gas company refer to "a meter upgrade" rather than a regulator upgrade. The meter required dwarfs the regulator.
(the regulator has the curvy vent pipe attached to it.)
There is a shut off to the house appliances and one to the kiln line.
I turn the line off in the house when I am not firing, to discourage vandals.

Lily FlowerLily Evans is a strong girl. She never shows any weakness, any fragility. When upset, she won't cry. When in a fight, she won't back down. I experienced that myself. But something about her hot temper that she works so well can't lure me away from her. Of course, she says she doesn't want anything to do with me. Whenever I make my move, she says she isn't interested. Any other girl would swoon in delight if I flirt with them, but not Lily. The rest of the gang tells me it's no use. They say I'll never get Lily. But I know better. I'm a Potter. I can be just as stubborn as she is. For five years I've been trying to get Lily. Five years of failure and rejections. They all say I'm wasting my time. But I know I'm not. Because when you love someone, you can never let them go. And try as she might, I will never leave. I constantly ask her motives behind the rejections, and it's always the same. You're a prick! A git! You, Potter, are self centered! I will never, I repeat NEVER go

The Simple Year blog is a platform for those with a year-long Simple Living Project and is currently looking for its fourth story teller.
Huh? Imagine an online version of some reality show in which the participants change each season. Although, we fly our freak flags a bit lower than your standard cable network reality stars, but we are giving you a glimpse of our daily trials and tribulations as we attempt year-long simple living projects.
The Simple Year was started in April, 2012 by Kerry and family as a journal in their attempt to Buy Nothing New for a Year. In the beginning the blog was just a first person narrative read by a few family and friends.
And then others began to take notice and started to read the story with all of its ups and downs. Slowly, The Simple Year year gained an audience. As the year of buying nothing new grew to a close, Kerry decided she had written enough about the subject. But, she didn't want to lose the momentum of The Simple Year and wasn't ready to abandon the site to become one of those blog equivalents of a a ghost town or a nearly empty strip mall with only a Chinese Buffet and a We Buy Gold Store– from vibrant to abandoned.
The HandOff
So she decided to give someone else a shot at telling their story via The Simple Year and advertised for a replacement–someone else who had a Simple Year (2) in them.
And so Kandice and her upper middle class family documented their year long attempt to shed their swank neighborhood and all the social and material trappings that go along with it in order to live a more "meaningful life".
To find out more about Kandice and her project, visit here for her details.
If you would like to read about Kerry's Simple Year, you can start here to read forward from Day 1 or here to read Day 365.
The Simple Year's third writer was Kim who documented her attempts to improve her life by making other lives better. She calls it conscious kindness and is finding out it being kind complicates or simplifies. Start Here to read about Kim's project.
The Simple Year is now looking for another writer with a Simple Living project. Sound Interesting? Think you might be interested in taking over a blog with an existing readership? Click here for details.

All Critics (33) | Top Critics (14) | Fresh (31) | Rotten (2) | DVD (1)
The movie boasts a fantastic performance by Vera Farmiga and an exceedingly unhappy storyline. It's a movie you "appreciate" more than you "enjoy."
The movie takes us down an unexpected path with riveting skill and a refreshing lack of easy answers.
The movie seems to be about drug addiction and recovery, but it gradually shifts, becoming a look from an unusual angle at what a big job it is to be a parent and the priorities it requires.
This downbeat story of blue-collar drug abuse becomes a moving portrait of people battling their inner demons, thanks to an outstanding acting ensemble.
Farmiga effectively shows the fear, need and hope at war within Irene, how the false high of being clean for a week can fade when she realizes the second week isn't going to be any easier.
Strong performances from Vera Farmiga and Hugh Dillon keep things from becoming overdramatic.
If there were an ounce of taste left in Hollywood, the magnificent Vera Farmiga would be a front-runner for the Best Actress Oscar.
The film is so pitch perfect and realistic, it seems you are there with these people, watching their lives unfold before you as it happens.
if you've ever wondered why people in 12-step programs aren't supposed to sleep together right off the bat, well, this movie is about to show you, in detail.
A quietly harrowing chronicle of addiction and fragile recovery anchored by Vera Farmiga's intense performance.
Vera Farmiga gives an astonishing performance in this complex chronicle of a drug addict who goes through rehab, yearning for redemption, but her experience is not tidy and there's no neat conclusion.
This marks [Farmiga's] arrival as One to Watch. See her here, and you can say you remember the early days.
Down to the Bone achieves what only the best independent films have: making life, at its most unvarnished, a journey.
Conventional movies, even independent ones, tend to get histrionic and judgmental about such drug-related setbacks. But Granik's film, though hardly a clinical case study, keeps a measured distance from the heavy-handed or simplistic.
... a harrowing character study.
[A] small, beautifully faceted gem.
... a stark, realistic portrait of a working-class mother in New York's depressed Ulster County as she tries to battle a drug habit.
Down to the Bone emerges with an aura of authenticity so strong as to be mesmerizing, thanks to a superior script brought to life with infallibly natural performances ...
Debra Granik's independent drama "Down to the Bone" builds with a strong, quiet intensity.
A glimpse into the private lives and dirty secrets of people trying to claw their way to a better place.
Audience Reviews for Down to the Bone
More subtle than your usual drug addict movie. While desperate, this one doesn't end up on a street corner somewhere homeless, or into crime, but it does still show the devastation caused by addiction and is a moving and interesting film. I had never heard of Vera Farmiga before, but I will certainly look out for her in the future, her portrayal of this character was excellent.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Drawn out, but an extremely realistic film about drug abuse with some impressive performances, in particular Vera Farmiga, which is definitely a name I shall be taking notice of in the future, her role in this was faultless and she reminded me of Cate Blanchett in many ways.

[font=Century Gothic]In "Private" a Palestinian family is not only living in the battlefield of the occupied West Bank but now they must face the additional indignity of having the Israeli army occupy their house. The army gets the second floor(under no circumstances are the family to venture there) and the family must stay downstairs. After dark, they are confined to the living room. For the father, Mohammed, a learned, dignified man, being a refugee would be worse and he insists on staying.[/font]
[font=Century Gothic][/font]
[font=Century Gothic]"Private" is a tense drama with realistic situations. The film boils the whole Arab-Israeli conflict down to a microcosm of a single house being occupied. Through the character of the father, other ways are suggested of fighting the Israeli army than violence. And the individual soldiers are not shown as being the villains.[/font]

She is also addicted to cocaine. And she has been using since high school. After one particularly embarrassing attempt to buy drugs fails, she realizes she needs help and enters rehab.[/color][/font]
[font=Georgia][color=#000080]"Down to the Bone" covers some familiar ground but does so in a totally unglamorous way. The movie does not offer any easy answers or solutions. The movie is anchored by a very strong performance by Vera Farmiga.[/color][/font]

Two pigeons declare their love on the towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The chimeras atop the cathedral attempt in vain to frustrate their romance. The couple fly off to discover the capital and renew acquaintances with their great friend, the Eiffel Tower.
It's a festival that day in Paris, where everyone celebrates by going fishing. The pigeons' nuptial ballet takes them to the edges of the Seine, where the Eiffel Tower, eager for glory and travel, wants to join in. Its size and clumsiness bring catastrophes that even bother its friend the girl pigeon.
The Eiffel Tower sings of its despair and dreams of being the star of an immense ballet alongside Big Ben, the Statue of Liberty and the Tower of Pisa. In the wee hours, it's noticed that the Eiffel Tower has disappeared. The tower has gone on vacation to forget its bitterness. In a long sequence, the Eiffel Tower "fishes" the Paris subway and rediscovers the joy of living.
The authorities decide to construct a new tower identical to the "runaway." Warned by its friends, the pigeons, the original Eiffel Tower takes big strides back to Paris, just in time for the President's speech... and to the cheers of Parisians.

Abstract No. 2524
Title: First-in-human evaluation of CO-1686, an irreversible, selective, and potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor of EGFR T790M.
Background: Efficacy of existing EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in NSCLC is limited by emergence of the T790M mutation in approximately 50% of patients, and significant skin rash and diarrhea, caused by wild-type (WT)-EGFR inhibition, compromises tolerability. CO-1686 is an orally active TKI that targets common activating EGFR mutations and T790M, while sparing WT-EGFR. Animal models suggest maximal efficacy when trough plasma concentrations exceed 200ng/ml.
Methods: This is a first in human phase 1 (3+3) dose-finding study of oral CO-1686, administered continuously in 21-day cycles. To be eligible, patients must have EGFR-mutant NSCLC and prior therapy with an EGFR TKI. Endpoints include safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy. All patients undergo a biopsy for genotyping before starting study drug. Results: As of 18 Jan 2013, 35 patients (18/28 (64%) T790M+; 7 pending) have been treated with CO-1686. Dosing started at 150mg QD and escalated in steps to 900mg QD, 600mg BID and 400mg TID, with a maximum tolerated dose not yet reached. A recommended phase 2 dose is expected to be reached soon. Related AEs of grade 3 or higher were hypoglycaemia (n=1) and hyperglycaemia (n=1). AEs typical of WT-EGFR inhibition (rash, diarrhea) have not been observed. Dose-proportional PK was observed; plasma half-life was 4-5 hrs and at 900mg QD Cmax=3000ng/ml but trough concentrations were less than 200ng/ml. At greater than or equal to 300mg BID and TID dosing, trough concentrations can exceed 200ng/ml. At 900mg QD, 2 of 3 patients showed clinical benefit after 2 cycles of CO-1686 including one with clinically-relevant tumor shrinkage (18%) and a second with stabilization of a pleural effusion that had previously required repeat thoracenteses at ~10 day intervals. At 300mg BID, one patient (Del(19)/T790M+) with PK trough concentration greater than 200ng/ml exhibited significant tumor shrinkage (29%) after 2 cycles. Further efficacy data from BID/TID cohorts and centrally-confirmed genotypes will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: CO-1686 offers potential for improved activity and better tolerability over current EGFR TKIs, particularly in the treatment of T790M+ disease, an area of high unmet clinical need. Curis Abstract No. 2503 Title: Phase I study of safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GDC-0917, an antagonist of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins in patients (Pts) with refractory solid tumors or lymphoma. Background: GDC-0917 is a small molecule that triggers tumor cell apoptosis by selectively antagonizing IAP proteins. Preclinical studies demonstrated antitumor efficacy of GDC-0917 alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. Methods: Oral GDC-0917 was given on Day (d) 1 followed by 2d off and a 2-week (w) on/ 1w off treatment (tx) schedule (21d cycle) starting d4. A modified continual reassessment method was used for dose escalation. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT, assessed d1-24), PK, adverse events (AEs), pharmacodynamics (PD), and clinical activity were evaluated. Results: 42 pts of age 36-86 (median 60.5) were enrolled in 11 cohorts (5-600 mg) and received 1-15 cycles (median 2) of GDC-0917. One DLT, Grade (G) 3 fatigue, was observed at 450 mg. The maximum tolerated dose was not determined although plasma concentrations of preclinically defined IC90 were reached. The most frequent AEs were diarrhea, fatigue and nausea (26.2% each), vomiting (23.8%), and constipation (19%). The most frequent AEs reported as tx-related were mostly G1-2 and included fatigue and nausea (21.4% each), vomiting (14.3%), rash (11.9%) and pruritus (9.5%). AEs reported as tx-related that were greater than or equal to G3 in greater than 1 pt were elevated AST and ALT (2 pts, at 450 and 600 mg). AEs reported as tx-related that resulted in tx discontinuation were G3 fatigue, G2 QTc prolongation, G2 drug hypersensitivity, G2 pneumonitis (1 pt each), and G3 pruritus/G2 rash (same pt). GDC-0917 peak concentrations were observed 2-3h post dosing. Exposure was dose-proportional with a mean plasma elimination t1/2of 4-8h and no apparent accumulation at steady state. Rapid down-modulation of cIAP1 was observed in PBMCs at all dose levels. Evaluation of tumor biopsies demonstrated decreases in cIAP1 (2 pts total, at 40 and 200 mg) and increases in activated caspase-3 and cPARP (1 pt at 200 mg). Two pts (4.8%) had a complete response (both unconfirmed, ovarian Ca and MALT lymphomaCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Brit PM raps Facebook for allowing GORY beheading vids
Newspapers read the letters before they publish them, otherwise they'd be full of rude/obscene/complaining letters. Newspaper websites have moderators who read the letters and also have 'flag lists' so they can home in on known 'trouble makers'. Facebook open a channel that lets their users post content that is not seen by any Facebook staff before it appears on the website. That is the big and legally recognised difference.
Having said that, I'd reward users who flagged seriously damaging content with some kind of brownie point system. Maybe extra Farmville crops, or whatever. (I may have got that wrong, I don't use Facebook.)

I also wonder if the mandatory AIS system has IP that is owned and licensed by a cosy cartel that keeps on milking its cash cow and has no interest in spending money to make it better. After all, why did it need Trend Micro to figure all this out and do experiments and investigations.

Oz bookshop to deliver by drone
Re: What could go wrong?
I recognise sarcasm when I see it (as well as many other things). Do they have a map of every lamp post and flagpole and overhead cable? Will students never run behind a newly installed crane (or whatever) so they can get a YouTube worthy video of a drone fragmenting itself? Will students order a book and then drive around in cars or on bikes for the fun of seeing the drone trying to keep up with them? I know I would, but maybe that's just me.
What could go wrong?
The hexacopter drone homes in on the customer's location based on the customer phone's GPS (either continous or as recorded at the time of the order). Does the hexacopter control centre know about power pylons, telephone poles, high buildings, etc? Does it know how to open doors, etc? This could be the start of some hilarious You Tube videos.

London plod plonks, er, pull request on EasyDNS
A few details
London (UK) has two police forces. The Metropolitan Police (The Met) that is responsible for most of London and the City of London Police (CoLP) which is an older and separate force that is responsible for the ancient 'square mile' centre of London. I'm wondering which police force it is.
The CoLP have close contacts with wealthy and infuential organisations that have headquarters and offices in the centre of London and have specialist fraud and economic crime units that work closely with major organisations.
If it is the CoLP, I'm sure they would not be influenced by any large dinners or invitations to international conferences from entertainment industry executives. Throughout their history, the CoLP have never been associated with corruption or dubious practices. The Met have a similar history of absolute probity, as everybody knows.

The AV map imbalance in patch 2.3 {WoW}
Jan 17th 2008 12:34PM Sorry, but I have to agree with the commenters when they say the problem is mental, not physical. Take the Alliance in Stormstrike. They never try to play the field. A solid handful of them run straight to Galv just like in the old days. Only, instead of having free reign to kill him, they find Horde there and they don't know what to do. Horde doesn't push immediately, we wait, and that gives us the ability to crush the Alliance offensive from behind as soon as they enter that building. It's like a squirrel running into a cage for a nut, only to have the cage door swing shut. And since Alliance completely ignored Stonehearth, a company of 3-5 Horde can take the graveyard without trouble, which pushes Alliance respawn too far back to re-form an offensive. It's only then that Horde will take Snowfall, to ensure no alliance can rez anywhere but their base. End game.
If Alliance thought like Horde in our battlegroup, things would be different. Stay at Stonehearth. Defend your tower. Wait until Horde enter Balinda's lair, then swarm in, CC the tank, and rock them. Pick people off when they run by instead of letting them through. It's a new game. Play differently.
Breakfast Topic: How is your PvP Battlegroup doing? {WoW}
Jan 10th 2008 10:56AM Stormstrike (Horde) - on Andorhal
In the past every queue was nearly instant. Since the AV change, Stormstrike alliance are one of the 2 known battlegroups to try and boycott AV. Horde now has over a 2 hour wait for AV, and every time I've been in there, we win with honor gains of 650-0. Why? Because alliance still runs straight to Galvengyr but we Horde are defending it. Nothing beats Cycloning the Galv MT and basking in the ruckus.
The rest are still instant queues. I nearly always run into a pre-made alliance AB while pugging, though. EOTS is 50/50 for hitting a pre-made. WSG is wide open and a lot of fun. The only problem is that 90% of the time, when the gates open in all three BGs, Horde has maybe half the players, while Alliance' team is full. I think that means there are more Horde in our Battlegroup.
Arena? It's an even game on Stormstrike. Competition at the top is sparse.
Sticking with just one character {WoW}
Jan 9th 2008 11:18AM The question I'd ask as a follow-up to this post is, which Class do we single character people tend to play most?
For me, it's Druid all the way, especially since the big 1.8 and BC patches making more than one spec even remotely viable. As a Druid all I have to do is have different gear sets and different specs, and WA-LA!, I'm a warrior, I'm a rogue, I'm a mage, I'm a priest. It's turned me into a total bottom-feeder, grabbing gear no one else needs in the instances, my DKP is so far in the hole I can't find it, and my bank is stuffed to the gills, but it's all on one character! In a way, my gear-frenzy is a lot like playing different alts. I get a special sense of pride whenever I complete a new set to my satisfaction. Right now I'm buying heroic badge Moonkin gear.

Jan 4th 2008 2:02PM Since the post asks specifically about "hotness" factor, I go straight for the blood elf males. Decent asses, great animations, and clean design. Lots of their hair and face styles look gamer, which fits well to gamer mindsets. That's about it in the whole game. Night elves aren't bad, but I don't like them quite THAT rugged, and their shoulders are way too wide for their waists and legs. Their stances and animations are boring too and don't bring out "hotness" at all.
I love trolls for their coolness factor, but I wouldn't call them attractive. Still, they rank up there for sexiness since they have attitude.
The only thing I like in terms of sexiness with the Draenai is how they walk. They prance. It's haughty, confident, and strangely attractive.
All the rest? Not my type.
New online tool shows popular arena setups {WoW}
Jan 4th 2008 1:48PM Now if only these sites could merge popular set ups AND talent builds so you get a better description. Yes yes, "There's only 1 pvp build!". Whatever. I'd like to know if that Shaman is resto or elemental, for example, since both are pretty popular.
What will we call Magister's Terrace? {WoW}
Dec 21st 2007 4:26PM Heh well Mag won't work. Magtheridon's Lair. SUN5 sounds good to me.
Enter to win a $5k Dell WoW Edition notebook {WoW}
Dec 21st 2007 9:59AM Oh wow! Leaving a comment with wanting a Horde computer!
Officers' Quarters: Zero-pressure raiding? {WoW}
Nov 19th 2007 1:04PM Agreed! Excellent post!

Fundacao Cesp, the pension fund for workers of Cia. Energetica de Sao Paulo, is negotiating lower actuarial targets with clients as cuts in Brazil's borrowing costs and a bear market for Brazil stocks cut into returns, said Euzebio Bomfim, the fund's director of retirement.
"We have some plans where we still haven't been able to convince the participants" to accept lower targets, Bomfim said in a phone interview from Sao Paulo. "You can't use targets to calculate returns that aren't reachable. It's not just in terms of government bonds, it's also stocks. There's great volatility."
The Bovespa index plunged into a bear market on May 17 on concern a worsening global economy will curb demand for Brazilian exports after a quarter in which most companies reported earnings that trailed estimates.

The search is on for Ireland's best small business with the launch today of the SFA National Small Business Awards 2015 by An Taoiseach.
The aim of the awards is to celebrate the achievements of small business in Ireland, and to recognise the vital contribution of the small business sector to the Irish economy.
Speaking at the launch, Enda Kenny said "I am delighted to support the SFA Awards as small firms are at the forefront of the economic recovery. Only by supporting our small firms will our plan to get the domestic economy back on track succeed. The Awards provide an opportunity to highlight the success of our small firms as they seek out new markets and innovations. Staying competitive is essential for growth and recovery and the Government will continue do everything we can with our Action Plan for Jobs to support small firms across Ireland."
The prize package for all finalists includes an exhibition stand at that SFA National Small Business Showcase in Dublin Castle in February 2015, a strategic masterclass weekend, a voucher for a Skillnets ManagementWorks management team/CEO course, as well as broad-ranging national and local media coverage.
The Gala prize giving ceremony will take place in March 2015 when the category winners and overall winner will be announced. The overall winner will be presented with a bursary of E5,000 to present to a charity of their choice, funded by the 2013 Overall Winner, Megazyme International Ireland.
"For more than a decade the SFA National Small Business Awards has demonstrated that a focus on competitiveness, efficiency, passion, courage and risk taking are the factors that put Irish small firms to the top of the pile. We know any future success can only be built on skills, ability, and innovation. The Awards showcases how small indigenous firms can only succeed when we pull together, as a small firm, as a Government and as a nation and how through intellect, street wisdom, education, courage, risk taking and speed of action punch above our weight," said SFA Chairman and Chair of the Awards judging panel, AJ Noonan.

Broncos' Smith watches from sideline, his future uncertain
Updated: December 30, 2007, 11:51 PM ET
Associated Press
DENVER -- Rod Smith, who caught more catches for more yards and touchdowns than any undrafted player in NFL history, stood on the sideline Sunday, looked up at the stands and took it all in, realizing this might be his last game with the Denver Broncos.
The 37-year-old co-captain who missed the whole season revealed 48 hours earlier that his surgically repaired left hip hurts more than ever and that a specialist in Los Angeles will resurface or replace the joint in January.

'Hug A Muslim': Comedians Come to Chapel Hill To Take On Islamophobia
Since 9/11, some news accounts portray Muslim-Americans only as terrorist threats. These stories create stereotypes in the minds of the American public. A new film, The Muslims Are Coming, co-directed by Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah, follows a group of Muslim-American comedians on a tour across America.
The film will screen tomorrow in Chapel Hill as part of the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival. Host Frank Stasio talks with Negin Farsad about the making of the film and the struggle against Islamaphobia.

This dialogue is the first of two explorations of samma samadhi, right concentration. Peter explained the terms samadhi and passadhi, and why he groups them together. Six considerations were illustrated to support the cultivation of samadhi-passadhi. The value of samadhi-passadhi in the practice of vipassana was explored. The explanations were followed by dialogue about the supportive considerations and the value of samadhi-passadhi in daily life. There is a post following this one containing the notes used for the evening's discussion. the notes include a link to a website where Richard Shankman's book "The Experience Of Samadhi" can be downloaded free in .pdf format. Next week's dialogue will explore the practice of jhana.
While Peter's wife is away for a week, he decided to practice integrating mindfulness more thoroughly into daily life routines. The primary changes included more meditation periods and more reading about Buddhist practices; otherwise, the routines were the same as before. During the talk, he reviewed various ways to increase the application of mindfulness during the day: the cultivation of samadhi/passadhi (concentration and tranquility) as a buffer against impulsive reactivity, using body awareness to interrupt intrusive unnecessary thoughts, and simply reflecting "Is _______ really that important or valuable right now?", focused on distractions and intrusive thoughts. This was followed by dialogue with sangha members regarding ways to enhance daily practice of mindfulness. Next week's talk will focus on understanding what sankhara (mental conditioners) are, related to understanding one of the Five Aggregates of Clinging, sankharakkhanda.
This dialogue is a continuation of the previous week's discussion. During the discussion, Peter led a guided meditation on how to use the four elements contemplations to provide a consistent focus for interrupting the elaboration the mind creates in the "selfing story." This exercise was followed by a sharing from the attending Sangha members regarding their experience during the exercise and discussion of how this practice can benefit the process of awakening. Next week's exploration will include the contemplation of vedana (feeling) and sanna (perception), with the hope that this information will further the process of understanding the Five Aggregates of Clinging.
Continuing the ongoing exploration of the Four Noble Truths, Peter described the concept of the Five Aggregates affected by clinging, which is referred to in the Fourth Foundation of Mindfulness teaching. Using a graphic illustration, he showed how the factors of perception and feeling create a "bridge" between incoming sense data and the further processing that occurs before conscious awareness (the graphic and accompanying notes are posted on the site as well). Without the benefit of mindfulness, concentration and tranquility, perception is biased and distorted by the conditioning factors, with the result that what is transitory and non-self is misperceived as enduring and a self. The practice of vipassana can reveal the misperception and reorient the energy of the mind toward clear awareness and benevolent intention. This is the process of awakening.
during the next dialogue, Peter will describe how a conceptual and experiential understanding of perception and feeling is contained within the doctrine of paticca samuppada, dependent origination. Peter will develop a different translation of this term, as "contingent provisional emergence"
Following on last week's dialogue, Peter described how the mind "transforms energy into information", and that the hindrances are "energy dumps" that distort perceptions and create distress. The setting aside of the hindrances through mindfulness of breathing creates a zone of clarity and non-reactivity, preparing for the investigation of emerging self-states that vipassana practice cultivates. The demons are the hindrances and the angels are the manifestations of the freed up energy. These manifestations are recognizable as the increase of compassion, generosity, patience and internal happiness.

Okay I'm sure this has been said but I'll say it again. First off, every champion in the game, no matter what role they are playing should be buying Hp, Armor, and Magic res. Second, Thornmail returns the damage in MAGIC damage, so get some **** Magic Res. Third, with just Merc Trends (which of course your getting) your reducing a nice chunk of the damage, since most tank (note I said most) don't get spell pen
Junior Member
Your formula is wrong. Thornmail returns damage done, after armor.
thornmail damage is calculated before armor. Looking at OP's formula, I quickly saw that your AD score is irrelevant to the efficiency of lifesteal VS thornmail. it simplifies down to: 10/3 * (MR + 100) / (AR + 100) * LS = efficiency. when efficiency is less than 1, you are hurting yourself by attacking the thornmail wearer, if it is equal to 1 or greater, you aren't hurting yourself.
Then the tooltip needs to be fixed. Edit: Or is it possible that it's unintended? Either way, something needs fixing.
bump I want to see more builds to fight against thornmail using this formula.
so all it really shows is what most people should already know, flat lifesteal is not a counter to thornmail in any reasonable way, and even MR+armor pen+lifesteal together still requires more investment than a thornmail did to break even is it just me that feels its too hard to counter for such a cheap item? if it gave the same passive on a 3k item with more stats(so its not less efficient or worse for its cost, just a bigger item), it would be perfect, but its too small and too easy to go out of any build to grab, against physical attackers, theres no reason to ever not get one on a tank or semitank
The counter to Thornmail is armor penetration and anything that deals magical damage on hit, such as Bloodrazors, Sword of the Divine, Malady, or any of the active damage items.
due to ppl calling thornmail op i hereby bump this formula so you too can learn the secret of killing thornmail
Im sorry the biggest problem with thornmail in my opinion is the dmg it deals back is calculated before the heal from your lifesteal is calculated.

Tyler, Texas (KETK) — Fulfilling a campaign promise to equip Smith County Sheriff's Office deputies and personnel with the tools they need to do their jobs, Sheriff Larry Smith announced Monday that 49 tasers are now on the streets and all personnel for whom the device is applicable have completed taser training.
Tasers are Conducted Electrical Weapons (CEWs) and are used worldwide by law enforcement to temporarily incapacitate dangerous, combative or high-risk subjects who pose a risk to law enforcement officers or themselves. TASERS are generally recognized as a safer alternative to other uses of force.
"In the spring, I had three members of my office in the hospital in the middle of the night being treated because they had to physically subdue a suspect who was on drugs and was violent," said Sheriff Larry Smith. "Had they had tasers, they would most likely not have been injured, and the taxpayers wouldn't be footing their medical bills. When people are on drugs, sometimes the only way to subdue them is to use a taser. "
The taser x2 costs $62,000 and were paid for by private citizens, business donations and re-appropriated grant funding. The grant funds were originally earmarked for in-car printers for county patrol vehicles.
"Obviously, the safety of our patrol officers and the citizens of this county is a higher priority than the ability to print documents in a patrol vehicle," said Sheriff Smith.
Sheriff Smith said members of his staff were tased during training so that they could understand what the devices do to a person and how they work.
