Guess it is more easy to get feed up with a company that informs you every day of thoughts and changes so whine posts happens hourly; than a company that says nothing and just release BS and let people rage over that a couple of days.
Lies imply facts instead of opinions. Give some examples. And remember, no opinions.
Your bonus spell damage example is a small tweak given the amount of total damage a mage can do: Incanter's Ward bonus spell damage going from 30% to 15%? How much damage is that really as a percentage of total damage? Don't forget that the ability now runs 25 seconds, up from 15. That's a small adjustment overall and hardly extreme. Is that a misunderstanding on your part or---dare I say--that you pushed the truth a little bit to make it sound worse than it is?

Discussing moderation is against the rules and makes a post liable for an infraction. Please report problem posts instead of responding to them. If anyone is unclear about the rules please read our FAQ. Thanks.
Sturgeon's Law states that 90% of everything is crap. When posting try and be in the 10% once in a while. It makes it better for everyone.
You can support your complaint the best by refusing to supporting the company monetarily.
I really don't know what happened to the community... I blame LFD... it ruined any realm rep that was left. People had to act nice or else you risked being blacklisted... and even if you weren't blacklisted... people in that guild might have ran a pug with you and realized you're an asshole... they then wouldn't invite you to the guild regardless of how good you were... but now people are just assholes and think they can get away with it because it's some dude on another server. But what confuses me more is why people didn't like TBC... Unless you didn't play it or you were bad/new to the game throughout TBC... there's no way you couldn't have liked it. WoW was perfect then... you literally couldn't skip tiers, you had to take on each one. Even heroics were better since you couldn't just switch it to heroic and walk in, you needed a key that required revered, which was later switched to honor... but even those heroics weren't easy. They were kinda hard and the epics weren't OP, you'd walk into Kara and already have new upgrades. People love getting new upgrades, it's just fact... so when I had multiple tiers to progress through without repeating the same content for more than a month, it was pretty fun... an experience you can't get now.

You are forgetting the thermal dynamic universal constant MMO law of, "They need to nerf (insert class I don't play here) and they need to focus on buffing (insert class I do play here) and if they do anything else I am going to have a shit fit on a forum."

Its amazing how you manage to turn any topic into a rant about LFD even if the original topic had nothing to do with LFD. *golf clap*
Their first, and biggest mistake, was trying to make WoW all things to all people.
Benevolence is a luxury for the strong - Wrathion
Plox. I got your plox right fucking here. - Animalhouse
I still prefer seeing Thrall rather than blood in my urine, that doesnt make him a good character. - Verdugo
You speak my mind.. Really I am 100% positive that if they NEVER implemented the LFD/LFR this game would still have some kind of community for each server - Which is one of the things I miss.. I couldn't imagine running a guild nowadays (except for one consisting of IRL mates exclusively) because I wouldn't know what to look for or how to judge members.
In TBC, gearing was a dead giveaway - looking at people's reputations, if they had enchants (that required reputation as well!) and what kind of gear they were wearing (greenies wasn't uncommon!).
Nostalgiaing too much, sorry..
Point is, everyone is decked in epics now and you still don't know if they would be able to fare in a normal raid - In Vanilla and TBC you KNEW that if people had epics, they had atleast some kind of understanding of the game! Heck for the majority of WoTLK this was somewhat true as well!
Oh and I had a long friendlist of people I had just been to HC's with so I always had some people to bring when I ran my HC's.
But yeah TBC was the best, I loved it.
OP, get these things through your head.
World of Warcraft is BLIZZARD'S game. Not yours. No matter how many hours you play, how many months you've subbed, it is still THEIR game. And therefore it is entirely within their right to do whatever they please with it. Period. There's no gray area here. It.is.theirs.
You are not everyone. Even if 1 MILLION people shared your exact complaints, there are 7 million who don't. Stop assuming you speak for 'the people' - you speak for yourself and only for yourself.
They don't make excuses and they don't lie. They have open, sometimes surprisingly frank conversations with players and admit their mistakes ALL the time. They've admitted many things they wish they had done differently in Mists, GC has even said he wishes they had done a 5man or 2 for 5.3. So stop with the 'so sick of their lying' drama-queen bullshit. You don't agree with what they say, their reasons given? Fine. But don't be childish and scream BLIZZARD R LYING 2 US just because you don't like the answer you're given.
As for alts? They've done a TON to make Mists more alt friendly. Cutting the cost of Valor gear, reducing the reputation levels needed to get some gear, commendations, stolen insignias of <name of rep>, increasing win chance in MSV/HOF/Terrace RF and increasing chance of winning with Elder charms in any difficulty. Reducing the exp. needed for 85-90 by A FREAKING THIRD in the next patch. So please don't whine about the alt 'problem' when Blizz has been nothing but pro-active about improving it.
And for those of you who have this god-given insight to make WoW soooo much better than its devs, go apply for a job or kindly shut it. They make the game, we play it. How on earth that is unclear to some of you is beyond me.
Psst, hey... over here... Yeah, the new bar of excellence isn't a purple word on your gear, and for a hundred bucks I will tell you how to recognise an elite player.... Yeah I accept 20's, okay here you go.... *looks about to make sure no one else is listening* "You have to look 3 pixels lower at the word LFR, Normal or Heroic Raid...... Yeah I know it means you have to know how to read rather than just stare blurily at the color of an items name but hey, you can read right? Alright, now remember, its our little secret!" *pockets $100.*
You sound like a bit of a fanboy.
The "I'd like to see you do better!" argument is a terrible fallacy. If I order a meal at a restaurant and its arrives at the table cold and disgusting, the waiter wouldn't respond to my complaints with "Id like to see you cook something better then!".
Also, it's Blizzards game? Are you really saying that he has no right to complain about something be paid for?
Oh and Blizzard lie and make excuses all the time, like all video game developers.
Whenever someone on a forum makes a post where every other word is in caps, I can't help but imagine some dumb ass mouthbreather reading said post, running of breath at the end of every sentence and randomly SHOUTING words for EMPHASIS.
Please stop posting like this, its incredibly annoying and makes you look like an angry moron.
A lot of people are frustrated with the "reasons" that Blizzard gives, but it's their company, they can essentially change what they want.

I have to say there was nothing better than attunements, especially when you saw this in guild chat;
GUILD: James has joined the guild!
Guild: Guild Master says, "Hey guys welcome our new healer James, they will be our new healer! So who wants to help get them attuned?"
Guild: Healer1 says, "Oh wow, I forgot that colan exam I had to do.."
Healer1 has logged off
GUILD: DPS1 says, "Sorry, I'm late to chew the bunyons off my gramma's feet."
DPS1 has logged off.
GUILD: Tank1 says, "Ooops, lightning strike, lost internet connection!"
Tank1 has logged off.
GUILD: Tank2 says, "I think my water broke, and I'm a dude!"
Tank2 has logged off.
GUILD: DPS2 says, "I forgot to take my acid bath today!"
DPS2 has logged off.
GUILD: DPS3 says, "Sorry no time, My wife wants to watch Michael Bublie sing love songs and then have a 3 hour discussion about it, cant miss that!"
DPS3 has logged off.
GUILD: DPS4 says, "I'm going to go see what this 'daylight' thing is outside my moms basement. IT BURNS IT BURNS!!!"
DPS4 has logged off.
GUILD: Healer2 says, "Yeah actually since you guys got me attuned last week I decided to go and get poached by another guild, so have fun attuning 2 healers."
Healer2 has left guild.
Oh? Really? People finally start noticing something I was noticing like years (and I mean years) ago? How marvelous! *claps* Gratz on finally getting your eyesight fixed.
Yes, Blizzard's attitude is absolute shit. Disgusting even, one of many reasons why I quit WoW for good. Well, retail WoW at least. "We gonna do what we think is good, not what you want because it's out game". Whole community is like "guys... retardins are totally op they need huge nerfs..." Blizzard "nah, they're fine...".
Haha good one! ;D
But that is sort of my point - if I were to start a NEW guild from scratch (I did this once or twice during TBC and once at end WoTLK/Start Cata) I wouldn't know what to judge people from, since everyone will have done LFR from the get go and even then.. if someone is in full 502 gear or better from LFR or World bosses, I still don't know if he's worth anything.
And then there's the other end, how can I know that the guy in heroic blues/valor point gear isn't just extremely unlucky with drops and aren't playing in a guild and is actually really worth something to a raid?

Running your own business sometimes seems to be a series of successes followed by setbacks.
You win a big client, then lose an existing client. You hire the perfect employee and their current employer offers them more money to stay. You make a nice fat profit, and the taxman comes along and takes 20 per cent of it! Talk about three steps forward, two steps back.
Limited companies making up to £300,000 profit a year pay the 'small profits rate' – currently 20%.
Fortunately, there are ways you can reduce your Corporation Tax bill. The trick is to find ways to avoid tax, which you are legally allowed to do (as opposed to evading tax, that's definitely illegal).
Of course, this is a deeply complicated subject, and you should check with your accountant before acting on any information in this article. Getting your corporation tax wrong is not something you want to do, as you may be penalised by HMRC.
Lowering your company profits
The most obvious way to reduce your company tax bill is to lower your profits. Your business is taxed on profit not turnover, so the less profit it makes, the less tax it will pay.
What direct expenses can you legally put through the business? For example, would it make better financial sense for your business to lease you a nice expensive company car? Yes you will pay personal tax on this as well, but overall you may be better off than if you went out and bought the car privately.
Remember that a limited company's money is not your personal money – a limited company is a separate legal entity, so it's not your own money. There are many laws governing what expenses can and cannot be counted as business expenses, so find out before you spend the cash.
This guide explains more about allowable business expenses, and is a good starting point.
It is possible to offset past losses against future profits. There are laws governing this, for example if a company changes hands this offset cannot happen. This is to stop badly-performing companies being sold as tax havens.
You may be able to claim tax allowances
You may be able to get tax relief called capital allowances on buying certain kinds of equipment and machinery.
If you are purchasing business equipment (tools, computers, furniture, machines, etc.), the main capital allowance rate for businesses is 20% per year (18% from April 2012).
Prior to April 2012, companies could claim an Annual Investment Allowance for expenditure of up to £100,000 a year, but this has reduced to 25% from April 2012.
If your business carries out a lot of research and development, you may be able to claim tax relief on some of the expense of that.
Finally, it may be worth looking at whether you want to reduce your Corporation Tax bill at all. If you want to take a lot of money out of your business, it may be more cost efficient to take a share of the profits, rather than draw a salary.
The current income tax rates go as high as 50 per cent for additional rate taxpayers, whereas company profits of up to £300,000 a year are currently only taxed at 20 per cent.
Shareholders in the company can draw a dividend – their part of the profits. You may have to pay income tax on that dividend, but overall you might be slightly better off as you won't have to pay National Insurance contributions on it.
Your accountant will be able to advise whether or not this is a worth doing in your circumstances.
Remember to get professional advice from a qualified person before taking any action. Don't rely purely on information contained in this article.

During his stint with the company he pitched his idea for "Do Not Disconnect." The company didn't bite, and Sparrow went on to fund the production himself. The short was shot in 2009.

Author Bio
"We are living in an amazing time in history. There is so much pain and suffering on the earth, and God has trusted us to be a part of the solution. Sheila Walsh has written an amazing book to help us find strength in these days! In her book 'The Storm Inside' she uses her awesome sense of humor and communicates with such transparency about her own challenges that I felt like I could navigate the storms in my own life. I felt hopeful and encouraged as I realized that we are all dealing with many of the same issues. I promise that you will not regret the time spent reading this book. You will feel like you have just had an encouraging conversation with a friend! Get ready to feel empowered and inspired!" - Holly Wagner, pastor Oasis Church, author and founder of GodChicks
"To be honest my world only collided personally with Sheila in recent years but as all would say - to meet her is to smile, to know her is a delight, and to sit under her ministry is to come nearer to the heart of God. Sheila is the genuine article and I am confident that all who draw near to her story, experience and wisdom will be forever changed. The Storm Inside is honest, real and raw. I pray that it will compel you to rise up should you be bent over with burden, and that it will become a powerful weapon and tool in seeing God's magnificent (sons) and daughters rise to their true stature in these profound and exciting days. I consider it an honor and blessing to know the beautiful, lovely and delightfully Scottish Miss Sheila." - Bobbie Houston, Hillsong Church

Courtney5 Stars Out Of 5April 24, 2014CourtneyQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Storm Inside: Trade the Chaos of How You Feel for the Truth of Who You Are.I absolutely love to hear Sheila talk about Jesus! I first heard her speak at The Women of Faith conference this past year in my (current) home town. I was drawn in by her passion for teaching women about Christ (and her accent is pretty awesome, as well!). Now, I can't help but hear Sheila's voice in my head as I read her words from her most recent book, The Storm Inside.
Sheila focuses on "big picture" feelings in her book, whether it be shame, fear or insecurity. Because of this, she provides a fairly holistic account of possible feelings that we as women could encounter throughout our time in this life. I think that this book will hold a special place on my bookshelf, along with other books that I deem "reference material." Whenever I am experiencing these feelings, I can go back to Sheila's book and focuses on the specific chapter pertaining to my life at that moment. It definitely is not a substitute for speaking to God or hearing his Word, but Sheila points you to the fact that Jesus is there for you and will not leave you amidst your storm. Thank you for that reminder, Sheila!
I recommend this book to anyone who may encounter times in their life when their own strength is not enough to pull through the storm (i.e., all of us!). Keep this book handy for those times and keep your Bible even closer! -

There were days where sun up to sun down felt drenched with chaos. And these last few months, ack, we won't even go there. To say I'm an emotional person is an understatement. So a book that would help me deal with chaos and the emotions that go along with them? Yes, please!
I thought this book was a great read! There were times I laughed with her and a few times some tears were shed. It's easy to get drawn into the conversation from the author. Each chapter addresses the storm topic and ends with a section on how to "stand through your storm" which included a few tips and a prayer. This is in no way a one-and-done book nor is our struggle. This is a book to read over and over, learning something new each time. This would be a great gift to someone you know is struggling.

Shelia talks about 10 different subjects that happen in life and considers them GOD's trials and difficult situations. We all go through it, but we all have different answers and choices that we make. We all blame ourselves, someone else or GOD for having an unhappy time in our lives. Shelia talks about how she has had these times and also shares others stories that have shared with her. Her answers are biblical and she does supply bible verses to back up what she is writing about. She also puts a spin on situations, that some of us (me included) would not think about as the answer that GOD wants us to know and learn during this time.
I would recommend this book to those that are going through a difficult time and would like to be encourage to get through it. I like how Shelia has always put GOD first in her writings and will always stay true to his word. If you need a plain, easy read for helping during hard times this book is for you.

Are Liam and Miley headed for a split? The lovebirds have allegedly called off their wedding because of Mileys new work schedule, and a source says that they are 'done.' No!
Say it ain't so! Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are headed to splitsville according to a new report, because their busy work schedules have put them in a "rough patch", and Liam is "not happy" that Miley is spending so much time in the studio. And to dig the knife deeper, Miley has been dancing to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies"! Will she call off their wedding?
Miley Cyrus Calls Off Her Wedding To Chris Hemsworth
Miley, 20, spent the night of March at Zoey 101 star Victoria Justice's birthday party at the RH restaurant, where she spent the night dancing with her friends to "Single Ladies", and Liam was nowhere to be seen. Miley and Liam have been partying separately a lot lately, and sources say that is for a reason.
"Liam and Miley are done," says a source to Us Weekly, who adds that Liam, 23, is having major second thoughts about their wedding because of Miley's new workload.
"Miley put her career on hold to spend all her time with Liam. Now that she is back recording her fourth album, he's not happy. She says she's already over it," continues the source, who says that "work has put a stress on their relationship."
Liam cannot be annoyed that Miley is working again — she has a career too.
Liam Has A Wandering Eye?
The rumor mill went into overdrive on Feb. 24 when Liam left an Oscars party with Mad Men actress January Jones, 35, and according to the source they were "openly making out" at a party. Furthermore, Us also reports that Liam was "chatting closely" with Harry Potter star Emma Watson, 22.
Are things over between Miley and Liam?
Not yet, says the source. "They still love each other and hope to make it work."
Let's hope they do, because Miley wants that big white wedding!
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Are you worried that Liam and Miley are breaking up?

See, that's where you are VERY, VERY wrong, sir (or madam, kinda hard to tell with that sudonym), because unlike other people who start their careers at a VERY early age (yes, she actually did, look it up), SHE was a very smart, intelligent, and kind girl, as you can tell from interviews and auditions that go as far back as 2005, as well as things she has said casually when performing on stage. 'MUSH', you say? Hmm…not likely!

Who the heck cares what this brainless, uneducated bimbo does with her life. My advice is to grow up and get and education. You can't sing, you can't act, you will never win a beauty contest. You're still hanging on to the tail end of "Achey Breaky Heart" Give it up already…..you don't have what it takes.

F*** you, Jane!!! She is NOT brainless, NOT uneducated, NOT a bimbo, she is an AMAZING singer, an AWARD-WINNING actress, and could win almost ANY beauty contest if she wanted to!!!!!!!!!!! And for TALENT in general, she certainly has more of it than you'll EVER have, even with miracle enhancement pills!!!!!!

Your ticket includes information about the court handling your ticket, and this is where you'll plead.
Typically, Ticket Tribunals handle state violations and Municipal Courts handle city tickets.
Inform the Court
Generally, you must show up on your hearing date (the date printed on your ticket); this date is considered your arraignment date.
At your arraignment, you'll tell the judge you want to enter a plea of not guilty and the judge will schedule your traffic ticket hearing.
Rescheduling or Postponing Your Hearing
Typically, Rhode Island courts don't issue continuances for traffic ticket cases; however, this doesn't always mean you're stuck with your arraignment or hearing date.
First, try contacting the Ticket Tribunal or Municipal Court handling your ticket. Explain the situation, and ask for a rescheduled date.
Then, if that doesn't work, turn to a skilled traffic ticket lawyer.
Hire a Traffic Ticket Attorney
Consider hiring a traffic ticket attorney if you:
- Need help preparing and presenting your case.
- Don't want to speak in court.
- Want someone to examine and cross examine witnesses and the prosecution.
- Have evidence to present.
- Are facing serious charges, such as those involving DUI or fatality.
- Are open to a plea agreement.
These experienced lawyers also can help you reschedule your hearing and file the paperwork and payment for an appeal.
Prepare Your Case
Consider these factors as you prepare your traffic ticket case:
- Testimony. This is "your side" of the events, and it's a good idea to practice it.
- Evidence. Do you have any tangible proof that you're innocent?
- Witnesses. Was anyone present during the event? Should you subpoena that person?
Remember: Skilled traffic ticket attorneys have experience with each of those factors. Your attorney can also help you with any paperwork and filing procedures required for submitting evidence and subpoenaing witnesses.
Plead Your Case Before a Judge or Jury
Rhode Island traffic ticket cases are similar to most other kinds of simple hearings.
- Opening statements from both sides.
- Presentation of testimony, witnesses, and evidence.
- Closing arguments.
After the closing arguments, there will be time for motions to dismiss. You or your lawyer might make a motion, or the court might make a motion.
Once that time is over, if the ticket isn't dismissed or the judge dismisses only certain violations, it's time for a verdict.
If you're found guilty, you must deal with all applicable ticket fines and penalties, or file an appeal.
Filing an Appeal
The court is required to inform you of your right to an appeal, but in general you can file an appeal if you do not agree with your verdict. You must pay a fee and use your court's appropriate form.
Your first appeal will go to an appellate panel with the Traffic Tribunal; you can appeal the appellate panel's decision with the District Court.
Check Your Driving Record
Rhode Island doesn't use a point system, so you don't have to worry about points showing up on your driving record―regardless of your verdict.
However, violations show up, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on your record and make sure:
- No violations show up if the judge found you not guilty or dismissed your ticket
- Only the applicable violations show up if the judge found you guilty.
Learn more at RI Driving Records.
Shop for Better Auto Insurance Rates
Once it's time to renew your policy (and perhaps before), your auto insurance provider will learn about your guilty verdict and most likely will increase your rates.
Talk with your agent about this possibility, and if you find out you do face an rates increase, consider shopping for lower rates now.

Boccieri Golf Offers Limited-Edition, John Daly Hand-Signed Photos
Autographed Images Available as Gift with Purchase of Tour-Proven Heavy Putter(RIDGEFIELD, CT) - Boccieri Golf announces that an authentic, John Daly hand-signed photograph will be given as a special gift to the first 1,000 customers who purchase the company's Tour-proven Heavy Putter at www.HeavyPutter.com or participating retailers through June 30.
The glossy 8"x10" photograph shows Daly using the company's new K4 MID-WEIGHT Series model en route to his recent second-place finish at the Italian Open on the PGA European Tour. It is the same image currently showcased in an advertisement appearing in Golf Digest, GOLF Magazine and other leading media outlets.
"John has performed exceptionally well since switching to the K4 MID-WEIGHT Series model and we look forward to his continued success at home and abroad," said Stephen Boccieri, President and CEO of Boccieri Golf. "He has some of the most devoted fans in golf and we're excited to celebrate his return to world class form with this unique promotion."
To receive this special piece of memorabilia free of charge, consumers must send a valid proof of purchase to Boccieri Golf headquarters in Ridgefield, CT. This special offer is subject to availability, limited to one autograph per person and open to US residents only. For complete details, visit www.HeavyPutter.com.
Daly's tie for second in Italy came just one week after the Heavy Putter was used by the runner-up at the PGA European Tour's Open de Espana, and two weeks after a player on the Champions Tour switched to the brand and captured the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Success for the Heavy Putter includes wins on the PGA, European, Champions, Asian, Nationwide and Canadian Tours.
With a total weight of 750 grams, the MID-WEIGHT Series is lighter than previous Heavy Putter models yet heavier than traditional offerings. It is available in five classic designs offered in a rich black "PVD" or silver satin finish.
MID-WEIGHT Series models include:
CX2 - Classic blade design that is face balanced; plumbers-neck hosel with a full shaft offset.
H1/H3 - Medium-size face balanced mallet; high MOI rating for forgiveness on off-center hits. Features a thin face to improve feel at impact; available in both heel (H3) with a double bend with half shaft offset and center-shafted (H1) models with a striking parabola channel alignment aid with a single long site line.
J2 - Deeper flanged blade offers the forgiveness of a mallet with a sleek top-line; face balanced with a plumbers-neck hosel with a full shaft offset.
K4 - Classic "toe-droop" blade with thin top line; short slant neck hosel with half-shaft offset.
L3 - Traditional small face balanced mallet; heel shafted double-bend half-shaft offset, a unique three-line alignment system, center top line and two lower lines frame the ball, while thin-face design promotes crisper feel at impact, improves MOI.
About the Heavy Putter
Introduced in 2005, the Heavy Putter is carried in all 50 states and more than 35 overseas markets. It is found in many of the finest off-course shops and most prestigious golf courses, country clubs and resorts worldwide.
The Heavy Putter's global popularity stems from its unprecedented counter-balance theory of a heavier mass head and weighted grip. This causes the body to engage its larger, core muscles for greater stroke stability, consistent swing paths, uniform pace and precise distance and directional control, tightening end-over-end golf ball roll.
The Heavy Putter Original, Matte and Deep Face Series models, which spawned a global following, each incorporates the company's pioneering weighting technology, including a 475-gram head (conventional heads are 330 to 350 grams) and a 250-gram weight installed in the grip end, producing a balance point 75 percent higher than conventional putters.

Three University of Cape Town first-year students will be sacrificing the Cape Town sun for the freezing winter of New York City as they set off for a semester at Barnard College in 2011. In October, Hilary Link, Barnard's Associate Provost and Dean of International Programs, met with Jo'AnneBartnicke, Lisa de Waal and Nicole Malherbe, and told them about Barnard's small class size, relationship with Columbia and location in New York City.
"We want you to integrate yourselves into college life, so that you can learn as much as possible," urged Link. "And once your semester is done, you might also want to take the opportunity to travel the country before heading home."

EnviroGenomarkers: The Interplay Between Mechanisms and Difference Making in Establishing Causal Claims

According to Russo and Williamson (Int Stud Philos Sci 21(2):157–170, 2007, Hist Philos Life Sci 33:389–396, 2011a, Philos Sci 1(1):47–69, 2011b), in order to establish a causal claim of the form, 'C is a cause of E', one typically needs evidence that there is an underlying mechanism between C and E as well as evidence that C makes a difference to E. This thesis has been used to argue that hierarchies of evidence, as championed by evidence-based movements, tend to give primacy to evidence of difference making over evidence of mechanisms and are flawed because the two sorts of evidence are required and they should be treated on a par. An alternative approach gives primacy to evidence of mechanism over evidence of difference making. In this paper, we argue that this alternative approach is equally flawed, again because both sorts of evidence need to be treated on a par. As an illustration of this parity, we explain how scientists working in the 'EnviroGenomarkers' project constantly make use of the two evidential components in a dynamic and intertwined way. We argue that such an interplay is needed not only for causal assessment but also for policy purposes.
