Lala, meanwhile, is prodded by her mother Boo (Donnah Welby), to encourage the attentions of Peachy Weil, a boisterous representative of a prestigious Louisiana family. "I can do better than Peachy Weil," Lala scoffs.
"No you can't," answers her mother, who refers to Lala's dateless state as "your situation."
In this ensemble drama with an exceptionally strong cast, Welby's depiction of Boo stands out. Her forceful performance doesn't upstage her colleagues, but she is nonetheless missed when she's not onstage. Her character is a kind of demonic Jane Wyatt, a hybrid of too-cheerful sitcom mother and Southern belle hovering over every round of her daughter's dating contest as though it were a championship bout. Lala feels that God may have favored the blond Sunny. But Lala is wrong. God smiled on her when He gave her a mom like Boo.
Almost every other aspect of this production's casting and design seems to have been divinely inspired as well. Jack Allison's direction is too understated to call attention to itself, yet it is replete with intelligent touches. Rob Odorisio's set (the play unfolds almost entirely in the Freitags' living room) is exquisitely outfitted to suggest the physical comfort with which the family lives outside the house as well as in it. Ellis Tillman's costumes show a spirited interpretation of period detail, while Stuart Duke's lighting design underscores the show's most haunting moments.
Particularly well cast is Philip LeStrange as Adolph, the unmarried uncle of Sunny and Lala. Though Adolph is a beleaguered male in a household of idiosyncratic women, LeStrange makes this predicament seem like a multilayered blessing. He also gets some of the best lines. Here's his explanation for sister-in-law Boo's rudeness just after she's returned from a screening of Gone With the Wind: "Forgive her," he says to Joe. "She's been looking at Clark Gable for four hours, and she has to come home and look at me." Less easy to navigate is the role of Reba Freitag, played by Pat Nesbit. As written she seems to have been inserted into the play as the voice of daffiness. Nesbit, however, infuses Reba with humanity.
Romantic leads Nick Cokas and Angela Pierce don't need to do much more than look good together as Joe and Sunny. Happily, though, both give performances that are full of substance. More challenging are the roles of Peachy and Lala. One cynical joke underlying the play is that Peachy, whose family brags that they've been in the United States for 150 years, is hopelessly vulgar, while newcomer Joe is cultured and genteel. Hunter Bell plays Peachy as an obnoxious buffoon, but one who has just enough charisma to match Lala's affable gawkiness misstep for misstep. Together Peachy and Lala create an unlikely but amiable chemistry that buoys the play. Their energy makes the rest of us root for the success of everyone at the Ballyhoo.
Can a comedy about assimilation actually take place three months after Hitler's invasion of Poland? Leave it to Alfred Uhry.
The Last Night of Ballyhoo. Written by Alfred Uhry; directed by Jack Allison; with Hunter Bell, Nick Cokas, Philip LeStrange, Jonah Marsh, Pat Nesbit, Angela Pierce, and Donnah Welby. Through December 27. Coconut Grove Playhouse, 3500 Main Hwy, Miami; 305-442-2662.

Murray lands dream draw in Melbourne
By Nigel Graber for MurraysWorld.com on January 11, 2014, 10:04 AM
For Murray, not long returned from back surgery, it amounts to a dream draw as he eases his way back into circuit life. Since his lay-off began in September, Murray has played just two ATP matches, one of which was a non-event against a wildcard ranked outside the top 2000.
Murray did, however, grab a little more court time with an exhibition match against Lleyton Hewitt this Friday, which he lost in two tiebreaks. The three-time Melbourne finalist has said it would be 'unrealistic' to expect him to win the title this year in the wake of his operation.
If the Scot negotiates the opening rounds, the fourth seed can expect to face Roger Federer in the quarters and Rafael Nadal in the semis.
Murray's potential route to glory:
R1: Go Soeda
R2: Qualifier
R3: Feliciano Lopez
R4: John Isner
QF: Roger Federer
SF: Rafael Nadal
Final: Novak Djokovic
Thanks Nigel......Fingers crossed eh!

I hope this match isn't like the 2012 French Open first round in which Andy faced Tatsuma Ito, lets just say Ito wasn't exactly It. That was a horrible match, hopefully we will be spraying cans of soda everywhere in celebration of a win, because I know Andy doesn't like liquor that much.

We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001
By Eric Davidson
- Format:
We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001 book. Softcover. 354 pages. Published by Backbeat Books (HL.331985).
ISBN 0879309725. 6x9 inches.
Includes a code for free CD download of many of the bands featured in this book!
Nirvana, the White Stripes, Hole, the Hives – all sprang from an underground music scene where similarly raw bands, enjoying various degrees of success and hard luck, played for throngs of fans in venues ranging from dive bars to massive festivals, but were mostly ignored by a music industry focused on mega-bands and shiny pop stars. We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001 tracks the inspiration and beautiful destruction of this largely undocumented movement. What they took, they fought for, every night. They reveled in '50s rock 'n' roll and '60s garage rock while creating their own wave of gut-busting riffs and rhythm.
The majority of bands that populate this book – the Dwarves, the Gories, the Supersuckers, the Mummies, Rocket from the Crypt, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Muffs, and the Donnas among them – gained little long-term reward from their nonstop touring and brain-slapping records. What they did have was free liquor, good drugs, guilt-free sex, and a crazy good time, all the while building a dedicated fan base that extends across America, Europe, and Japan. Truly, this is the last great wave of down-and-dirty rock 'n' roll.

Lawn mowing Brisbane helps by ensuring that your front yard is always looking neat. When you use the right procedure, there is a possibility of having an elegant front yard.
There are times when you will notice that the grass is getting brown, and the ground is dry. The main reason is because the grass is too short and it will be impossible for moisture to be retained in the soil. Weeds will also start growing, and it will be hard for the grass to grow strong and look neat. Always leave the grass a bit longer when trimming.
Changing the direction in which you are trimming the surface is important. This will help in avoiding the formation of holes which usually affects growth. Every time you are working on it, you need to ensure that you change the direction every time you are working on it. This is important and you should always practise it.
Trimming should always be done when there is no rain and the grass is completely dry. In case you work on it while it is wet, the chances of it being attacked by insects are high. It will also be hard to have the grass levelled neatly. To be satisfied with the whole process, you need to wait until when it is completely dry.
There are various machines and they all have different features. You can look through a number of them before deciding on which one to take. When planning to use your own machine, you must first of all have a professional to look at it. This is to ensure that you are able to use it without any problems.

In an effort to drive down prices, or perhaps some would say, in an effort to avoid having to manage the industry, here in the UK, the government have opened up the domestic electricity market to promote competition between providers. What a surprise! It is not going well. It has been shown that many people are happy to stick with their current provider, due to their perception of the difficulty to change. In reality, the change is simple. The actual difficulty is to have to navigate through the often very complex tariff and billing arrangements. One has to wonder why they make it so difficult, apart from, of course, to prevent people from changing.
Consider this. If you want a new car, there are many to choose from, each with many different options, colors, styles and levels of performance. Being human, we all have different ideas of what we like and what we consider being "cool". At the end of the search, there is then just a single simple price. For this reason, the many variants of cars exist, such that it is rare to see any two cars the same on any journey. The market to buy a new car is very much open, and needs no encouragement. People are happy to have the choice. The choice brings value.
Buying electricity is quite different. Not one of the providers is offering a better quality electricity. The performance of the many different offerings is the same. The same power, the same requirements, all installations are common, all peripherals are compatible, reliability is the same no matter which provider it is. There is no "value" option, there is no premium product. Electricity is basically, just electricity. Differences in customer service levels, whether regarded as good or poor, are negligible, so the choice in the market comes down to just one key issue. Price. If the market were truly open, with just the one key variable, assuming no-one likes paying more money than needed, there would be just one supplier that everyone would use; the cheapest.
The reality though is that there are many electricity providers in the UK, doing very good business, each with many tariffs, who have succeeded to make it look as though there is a wide choice with differing values. Looking more closely, many of the tariffs seem to be based on "tricks"; to provide some attractive headline numbers, but keeping balancing costs to one side. Price promises, introductory discounts, "smart" energy monitors, playing with different price ratios of standard charge and actual power consumption bring complexity, which, it seems, is only there to make the market appear to be "open", to make it look as though there is a significant choice. The choice seems only however in how much people want to be ripped off. Analysis shows that so-called "competition" in electricity pricing has not in fact helped to reduce people's energy prices in the UK significantly.
So what is this all about? Complex pricing and complex product structures are a barrier to innovation. People tend to be suspicious of complex price lists, or having several products available from the same supplier that do the same job. The latest pricing from Valor is the simplest that it has ever been, with a focus on bringing a swift return on investment no matter what configuration is needed, and in what circumstance it is deployed. A single set of complementary solutions from the PCB layout DFM check for manufacturing, all the way through process engineering, production and supply-chain management, quality all the way to completion of manufacturing of the entire product ready for shipping, designed to enhance the performance of ERP. Come and have a look at how simple it is to change your manufacturing operation platform to the latest operational technologies, embracing the opportunities that the changing industry provides for those who wish to take them. Unlike swapping out electricity suppliers, you really will appreciate the difference……. Valor.

Forensic investigation of criminal activity, including money counterfeiting and the trafficking and use of drugs and explosives, is set to become easier.
Newly developed invisible barcodes based on the unique thermal properties of nanoparticles offer a stealthy way of tagging trading objects so that they can more readily be tracked and traced.
The issue with visible barcodes is that they can be altered or duplicated. Invisible molecular and chemical tags that are currently in use aren't suitable for large-scale labelling for a number of reasons. But the new barcode system, described in the journal Scientific Reports, may overcome these issues. It uses a panel of nanoparticles, identified by their discrete melting temperatures, to tag relevant objects. They can then be forensically traced to their manufacturer, vendor or purchaser.
The researchers suggest several uses of nanoparticle barcodes:
26 Jul 2012 | The jury is still out on the risks associated with nano ingredients in sunscreens and cosmetics.
30 Sep 2009 | Mineral foundation is marketed as a more natural alternative to other foundations and usually contains finely crushed, naturally occurring minerals. But our investigation found it's not as natural as you'd think.
23 Feb 2009 | CHOICE wants nanofoods better regulated to ensure they are both safe and properly labelled.
22 Jun 2007 | Nanotechnology is heralded as making products and processes smaller, smarter, cleaner and safer, but could also spell trouble for our health and the environment.

Silverlight Server Configuration
I went to throw a small Silverlight sample application up on a web site to show to a client yesterday and found out the hard way that although it is primarily a client-side technology, it doesn't "just work" when you put the files up on the server. My first attempt was to just put the necessary bits on a static file server that has ASP.NET but doesn't have an easy way for me to configure virtual roots. Unfortunately, the project I was using (in Visual Studio) was configured to use an ASPX test project with its own web.config and /bin folder, neither of which worked outside of the application root. So I figured perhaps I could just get the test page to work as a .htm file, … more

Gort help us!
Despite my rant in a previous blog, if your curious about the imminent release of remake The Day The Earth Stood Still, then take a gander at this trailer.
It may star Keanu Reeves as an alien in a human body, but it also stars Jennifer Connolly and Kathy Bates and it actually looks pretty impressive. The dramatic sequences using CGI are not too shabby and we are even allowed a miniscule glimpse of alien robot Gort who can shoot lasers from his visor.
December 12th is the Day The Earth Stood Still

The four objectors to the historic Cobell land trust mismanagment settlement say they're not backing down, even after their names and phones numbers were published in an open letter printed online and sent to thousands of plaintiffs prompted them to receive angry phones calls.
As Associated Press reporter Matt Volz reports, Carol Good Bear is one of the objectors that received a flood of angry phone calls.
At first, the resident of New Town, N.D., hung up on the angry voices at the other end. After 15 calls, she unplugged her home phone and started screening her cellphone calls.
She said she worries for her safety now that her address is in the hands of hundreds of thousands of people who might blame her for holding up their money.
"To put my name out there for the public, I think that's scary that these attorneys would use this tactic and intimidate me into dropping my appeal," Good Bear said. "I don't have protection. If somebody is upset about all this and comes at me with a gun, what am I supposed to do?"
The Cobell settlement was approved by the courts last fall after almost 16 years of court battles. Payments were scheduled to be send out in November before the objections were filed.
The plaintiffs' attorneys, led by Dennis Gingold of Washington, D.C., wrote in their letter that the "hopes and wishes of 500,000 individual Indians" had been delayed by those four people. If it wasn't for them, the first payments would have been made before Thanksgiving, the letter said.
"There is little doubt that they do not share the desires or care about the needs of the class, over 99.9 percent of whom support a prompt conclusion to this long-running, acrimonious case," the attorneys wrote.
The letter went on to list the names, phone numbers and addresses of Good Bear; Kimberly Craven of Boulder, Co.; Charles Colombe of Mission, S.D.; and Mary Lee Johns of Lincoln, Neb. The attorneys invited people to "ask them directly about their motives" and cautioned them to "please be civil in your communications."

Missoulian reporter Vince Devlin introduces us to Joe Durglo and gives an update on the issues the new Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal chairman has on his plate:
PABLO – The new chairman of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes says he's not going to try to guess what message members may have been sending last month when they turned four out of five incumbents on the Tribal Council out of office, just two years after re-electing all other five incumbents on the 10-person governing board.
"As soon as you think you've got it figured out you'll be surprised," Joe Durglo says.
The defeat of one of those council members, former chairman E.T. "Bud" Moran, meant CSKT would have a new leader for the next two years no matter what.
Durglo, 50, a St. Ignatius native who has served on the council since 2006, says he never had the chairmanship as his goal when he entered tribal politics.
But after it was clear someone would have to replace Moran, Durglo says he felt his education, experience and business background – he spent 15 years in economic development before being elected to the council – might be of value.
"So I threw my hat in the ring," Durglo says. "I've been fortunate to work with a couple of different chairmen, and serve as vice chairman to Bud, and I'm very appreciative council selected me."
It's no small matter.
Story and photo by Karin Eagle, Native Sun News Staff Writer
PORCUPINE – With not a drum in sight, there was still a pounding of heartbeats that could be felt like a reverberation from the largest drums. The heartbeat of the women gathered on the lands of the Oglala Lakota pounded steady and hard as the women's voices gathered to speak and encourage one another in an effort to not only encourage the men, but to call on the younger women to pick up the fight that was started generations ago by the great-grandmothers, grandmothers and mothers of today.
In Porcupine, the first of four gatherings of Native women called Winyan Ituwan, or Vision of the Women, was held this past Sunday. The Lakota leadership of Debra White Plume and Babe Poor Bear, both Oglala Lakota, pulled a wide variety of Lakota and Dakota women together in order to reestablish their power and what Alex White Plume, Oglala activist, termed "the spiritual law which men do not act on anything without, which is what women are".
Emceeing the event were Poor Bear and Cordelia White Owl, who is also Oglala Lakota.
Each taking a turn at introducing the powerful women who, at all ages, have either stood up for the Lakota people's human or civil rights, the preservation of culture and language and the environmental issues that have and will impact the health and well-being of the Native peoples of this land.
According to elder Marie Randall, the Lakota winyan – the women – carry the foundation of Lakota life. Randall talked about her desire to teach the Lakota language to her takoja, or grandchildren, in their schools but was initially denied because of the requirements that the state enforces, citing her lack of a teaching degree. Because she is a natural and lifelong speaker of the Lakota language, she was eventually able to obtain a teaching certificate through the state and was finally able to fulfill her own dream of teaching the Lakota language in her community school.
"I am not afraid to be Lakota," said Randall, which incited a huge round of applause and trills from the women in the audience.
Deb White Plume, who in the summer of 2011 had been arrested in Washington, D.C., during a protest of the Keystone XL Pipeline, proposed to cross Lakota treaty lands, spoke passionately and proudly of the work that has already been accomplished on environmental issues with the leadership of Native women. The mining companies that are seeking renewal permits at the uranium mines near Crawford, Neb., a half-hour from the southern border of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, are currently being fought against.
"Our water at our home has tested so high for radiation and arsenic, which is what happens where uranium mining is being done," said Debra White Plume, wife of Alex. "But there hasn't been one single shovel dug in those mines since we have started these challenges, which shows how much power we as women have," she said.
White Plume spoke eloquently about the need to stand up and have a say in any of the issues that are directly affecting Native peoples.
"I want to stand up. Who else wants to stand up?" asked White Plume. This drew a huge, minute-long response in applause and trills and whistles from the audience.
Tantoo Cardinal, a First Nations Cree from Canada whose community is at ground zero of the tar sands oil mines near Fort McMurray. She remembers not having any awareness of her language or culture, as it had been outlawed.
The Canadian government, she maintains, knew that the power of the First Nations people came from their strong tie to the language and the cultural beliefs and practices so they outlawed all of it, creating a division among the people who struggled to maintain that tie and the ones who passively went with the laws.
A ski area in Utah is resting its season's hopes on members of the Northern Ute Tribe.
As the Associated Press reports via CBS, the snow has yet to come this year to many parts of the west.
So, Park City Mountain Resort recruited the Norther Ute Tribe to perform a snow blessing.
Park City has been forced to make 40 percent more snow than at this time last year.
"Our snowmakers have been working around the clock, so we said it is time to put in a call to Mother Nature," said Krista Parry, marketing director at Park City Mountain Resort.
She also called on a friend, Frank Arrowchis, who led a similar ceremony at Arches National Park to bless the Olympic Flame during the torch relay in 2002.
Arrowchis led the prayer Saturday in English, followed by one in Ute by Spiritual Leader Albert Lance Manning.
"We hope our prayers are answered because it's for everybody," Arrowchis said. "Prayer has a lot of power if it's done right. We hope we do get some snow. If we don't, we tried."
As of Monday, the blessing hadn't produced the much-needed snow.

Mark Trahant is a writer, speaker and Twitter poet. He is a member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and lives in Fort Hall, Idaho. Trahant's recent book, "The Last Great Battle of the Indian Wars," is the story of Sen. Henry Jackson and Forrest Gerard.
A question for any Republican running for any federal office: If you are successful repealing "ObamaCare," what happens to the Indian Health Care Improvement Act?
South Dakota's Rep. Kristi Noem illustrates the GOP's mixed message. Her web page says: "I will support efforts to fully repeal the health care bill." A few clicks later, she adds, "a lack of resources and medical staff are constantly the biggest hurdles to quality health care on our reservations. Improving access and quality of care should be a key priority."
It's nice to have it both ways. At least on paper. But it is an important question because the Affordable Care Act – ObamaCare – includes the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. If you repeal one, you repeal both. Sure, you could pass another Indian Health Care Improvement Act, but that's a tall order.
But this dilemma shows the larger Republican problem with health care reform. If not the Affordable Care Act, then what? And once a proposal is on paper, do the numbers add up? Do the ideas really reduce health care costs and by extension the single largest budget issue facing the federal government?
Don't hold your breath waiting for real answers. The problem in our political discourse is that folks are not required to give answers as complex as the problems. It's enough to say, "I am against ObamaCare," without detailing what should happen next.
First American Indian lesbian elected to state legislature
A mid-term election to replace a vacant seat in the Minnesota Legislature made history last week, as Susan Allen became the first Native gay person to be elected as a state legislator, ICTMN reports.
On her website, Allen states, "I am a passionate supporter of marriage equality. As a lesbian, I feel this inequality every day. I will use my position as State Rep to speak loudly against the marriage amendment and in favor of equality for all Minnesota families. . ."
When speaking to Indian Country Today Media Network, Allen said, "This is a big win as an LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) candidate, for communities of color and especially for the American Indian community. I felt that this is important to be running as an out, lesbian, Native American. It is interesting that some publications for Native Americans they are reluctant to print that. I think that this is something that we're struggling with in minority communities. I think it is really important to start talking about that and to have some sort of healing process."
Perma pictographs link tribal people to the dawn of their being
Char-Koosta reporter Bernie Azure takes readers to the Perma pictograph site near the Flathead Indian Reservation where a remediation process is taking place to ensure the ancient site remains intact.
Last week, representatives from the Cultural Preservation Office, the Division of Fire and the Salish Pend d'Oreille Culture Committee Elders Committee journeyed to the Perma pictographs to assess damage and to begin planning for projects to mitigate the damage and to curtail future potential for damage by limiting access to the area.
According to Ira Matt of the CPO, the pictographs remained essentially intact for thousands of years until being discovered. Since the 1960s there have been at least a half dozen incidents of vandalism and looting of the pictographs as well as incalculable incidents of damage to the surrounding delicate landscape due to overuse of the area for camping and partying. Also lost, as result of looting is the spiritual offerings left at the area that has been used for vision quests.
California tribes see economic growth beyond casinos
An economic forecast seminar in California made note that economic opportunities beyond gaming exist and can help tribes thrive.
The conference, as OrovilleMR.com reports, was attended by members of numerous tribal members and associations. It also examined what could be done to help business thrive for tribes.
The Center for Economic Development is currently working on two efforts for Indian tribes: developing the infrastructure to get high-speed Internet to the 111 tribes in California, and working with the U.S. Economic Development Administration to identify 20 Northern California tribes to assist with economic development strategies.
Another panelist, Craig Norte of the Federal Reserve Board, listed five barriers to obtaining bank loans: land complexity in terms of legal issues, such as land being held in a trust for a tribe; the lack a legal infrastructure; geographical remoteness; lack of communication; and the low-to-moderate incomes and "checkered credit" on reservations.

High school students in a South Dakota town are helping to bring bison back, thanks to a program that encourages consumption of the sacred animal through cooking and other classes.
As Kristi Eaton of the Associated Press reports, the program is also inspiring a reconnection to culture.
The program was started by Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe and South Dakota State University researchers at Flandreau Indian School.
The school began preparing school meals with fresh bison meat last year as part of the pilot project.
Nearly 20 professors across five departments at SDSU are involved in the project, which they hope will be used as a model among other tribes trying to revive the demand for bison.
Although bison tastes a bit different — some think it has a sweeter, richer flavor than beef — Flandreau Indian School senior Dillon Blackbird said he prefers school meals served with bison because it's "real meat."
One of more than 30 students from the Flandreau Indian School to take part in cooking workshops with bison as the main ingredient, Blackbird said he now knows how to whip up his own dishes with bison, which has less fat and fewer calories than beef.
"I make basic stuff: tacos, enchiladas, spaghetti, lasagna," Blackbird said.
SDSU researchers want other teenagers to follow Blackbird's lead, creating a market within the tribe for the next 40 to 50 years and changing the way members think about the animal.

As the relentless winter continues to batter Alaska, the village of Nome is anxiously awaiting a one-of-a-kind shipment to help it get through the wicked weather.
The town is monitoring closely the progress of a Russian tanker filled with heating fuel and gasoline that is attempting to reach the town through the ice-over ocean, as ICTMN reports via the Associated Press.
The tanker's slow trek is being aided by a Coast Guard icebreaker crew.
Nome finds itself strapped for gas and heating oil because a tanker that was supposed to deliver a shipment in the fall was blocked from doing so due to severe storms. This time around, failure is not an option. According to an Associated Press report, a barge delivery of fuel would not be possible until the spring. If the tanker manages the delivery, it would mark the first time petroleum products had been delivered to a western Alaska community in winter, the AP said.
Be sure to check out the link ICTMN provides to the Dec. 30 story in the Alaska Dispatch about tanker's trek.
ICTMN has video on the story as well.

The U.S. Postal Service is still deciding whether it will close hundreds of mail processing center across the country. Communities that may be affected by the closures have expressed concern about a multitude of negative consequences that may arise if the postal services are eliminated.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that in the case of the Tohono O'odham Nation, the consequence could be an interruption in voting rights.
The loss of the center would mean fewer days to get mail-in ballots in across Arizona.
But it would be worse for voters in the Tohono O'odham Nation, (county recorder F. Ann Rodriguez) said.
The only post office in the 4,460-square-mile nation is in Sells, and there is no home delivery or pickup. It would take a week or more for a voter in a remote area to pick up a ballot at a post office box in Sells, and he or she would have less than 10 days to mark the ballot and return it, Rodriguez said.
"There is no question that the changes proposed by the postal service will impact Native American voters far more extensively than the voters in the metropolitan areas," Rodriguez said in a letter to the Postal Service.
The Postal Service disputes these numbers, but local officials continue to take action.
The Pima County Board of Supervisors plans to vote today on a resolution to oppose the plant closure because of the potential for "disenfranchising Native American voters," among other reasons.
The draft resolution states that Pima County stands to lose 440 jobs, $30 million in economic activity and $4.8 million in federal, state and local tax revenue.

Rogers Announces Data Plans for iPad in Canada
Apple fans are passionate about Apple products. We know because we're among them.
Rogers introduced the iPhone to Canada in 2008 and we were the first Canadian carrier to announce that we'll carry the iPad. Now we're thrilled to say it's available for pre-order today at www.apple.com/ca/ipad and is set to launch on May 28.
We have a long-standing, strong working relationship with Apple and we think our years of experience will benefit Canadian iPad customers.
All iPad data plans will be available without a term contract, providing the freedom to activate or cancel a plan at any time. Rogers customers purchasing the iPad will be able to take advantage of the new iPad data plans to enjoy the device's full suite of capabilities, backed by the reliability of Rogers' proven network.
Here are the pricing options we're making available to future iPad customers:
- 250 MB for $15 + WiFi (Includes free unlimited access to all Rogers WiFi Hot Spots)
- 5 GB for $35 + WiFi (Includes free unlimited access to all Rogers WiFi Hot Spots)
Customer experience shows that our 250mb/5GB plans will be more than enough for virtually all our customers. 99.8 per cent of our iPhone customers use less than 5GB of data. As the tablet is a new category, it's too early to say if customers will use more or less data than they do for iPhone. But even for our rocket stick/embedded laptop customers, 95.6 per cent use less than 5GB per month.
Visit www.rogers.com/iPad for full details on these plans. As always, we'll keep you posted right here.
Note the iPad will not be available on the Fido brand at launch.
Much has been said about the tablet being an important new product category. More importantly, you now have more options than ever before to communicate, to be informed and to be entertained wherever, whenever you desire.
Excited yet? We are. And we'd like you to activate your iPad with Rogers.
Will you be buying an iPad? Why or why not?
Keith McArthur is Senior Director of Social Media at Rogers.
Rogers Announces Data Plans for iPad in Canada,More from RedBoard

The Rogers website still has no details. The Apple website mentions a $20 add on to use the iPhone data plan. It also mentions that "most" are contract free. What are the contract requirements?
rogers posted the details on their web site

David Chartier from MacWorld posted a story about using the AT&T 250 MB plan, and how long it lasted for him… 3 days!
"Toss in a couple of short YouTube videos and small app updates, and I hit the 250MB ceiling in just three days after activating my month-to-month plan"
"Remember, though, that I never turned on Wi-Fi during this 3G data experiment, so if you're switching back and forth, your mileage will definitely vary. And that underscores the central point of the 250MB 3G plan: It's not really aimed at day-to-day use but rather intended for short bursts of very specific data consumption when you're traveling, out and about, or otherwise nowhere near an available Wi-Fi connection."
You can read the whole thing here: http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/how-far-can-you-go-the-ipads-15-data-plan-951?page=0,0&source=IFWNLE_nlt_daily_2010-05-11
Will it be possible to start/cancel a plan from the iPad's Settings app, as can be done by American users?
Hi David. Our plans are currently set up per month. Questions about the applications are best directed to Apple.
David, it seems like they can. When Apple gives you the option to add a Rogers micro-SIM to your iPad order, it says "Select your 3G data plan and start your service on your iPad." In some other countries, it says you have to visit a retail store or call the carrier to start service.
250MB? That seems a tad low. I clear that on my smartphone without even using YouTube.
I agree. They claim that 95+% use less than 5GB (could mean 4.99G) but how many use less than 250MB?? I would guess that it is surprisingly low %age.
I agree!
How about something between 250MB and 5GB… hmmm how about 2GB for $20. That seems reasonable to me. -
One of the customer friendly aspects about these plans is that there aren't overage fees. If a customer goes through 250MB in 25 days, she can start a new data bucket right away – and choose every month between the 250MB and 5 GB plans.
Not sure about customer friendly. If I go over my 250mb and add another 250 it costs me $30/month. Not sure if I want to spend $35/month if I am not using that much. The plans look to be geared to Rogers bottom line. There either needs to be sharing or some middle ground plan. Having next to not enough data and way too much is not customer friendly.
What about existing iPhone customers? Are there any options for those of us who already have a data plan with Rogers?
I am a Fido customer. Is it possible to tranfert the balance of my Fido contract to Rogers so I can deal with only one bill/contract?-
Hey Pierre-Armand. That's something you'd want to discuss with customer care.
No mention of the $20 'add to existing data plan' option? I'm curious as to whether that one would be $20 per month, as most have assumed, or a one-off $20 fee to attach the iPad to an existing subscription account? The former would seem somewhat over zealous ($20 to use what you're already paying for in a different place?), while the latter would doubtless be a winner for all iPhone users in Canada, and would leave the USians feeling green…
Thanks for this, Keith. Though the big question from all of us will be what about the $20 link up for our current data plans, as listed on Apple's site? Any info you had on that would be much appreciated.
Also, any idea as to who we can contact at Fido about this?
As @RogersMary has mentioned elsewhere, there is no sharing plan at this time. This was listed on Apple website yesterday in error.
On the Apple website, it states for an additional $20 per month you can share your existing data plan with the iPad. True?
How can AT&T offer Unlimited data for iPad for $29.99 (USD) and the best plan here is $35.00 for 5GB?
Scott, if you read the fine print of AT&T, "unlimited data" actually has a cap of around 6 GB.
The AT&T unlimited isn't a true cap. It's a "soft cap" of 6 GB/mo, meaning you can go over it without incurring extra charges (as occurs with a hard cap), but you aren't allowed to go over the soft cap for 2 consecutive months. Much better way of doing things, recognizing that each month is not the same.
Where is this 6GB cap? I am reading it is actually unlimited.
And, what happens if you go over the 5GB?
We have structured our plans so you never have to pay overage charges.
Once you use up your data, you will have the option to buy another bucket and your month starts right then.
Is there an expiry period on the data?
30 days. This was confirmed by Apple.
You can't try to take a cat and sell it as a dog. A cat was, is and will always be a cat.
Saying that there are no overage charges make it sound you like Rogers came up with something innovative and mind blowing. Then you say that if you go over your bucket, you just have to buy another bucket of data. And if the user does not use up all the bandwidth in their bucket, they loose that. How is that any freaking different from buying a month to month data plan?
You didn't mention the $20 to share data plans with iPhone and iPad that Apple advertises on their site.
I just pre-ordered an iPad assuming that is a one time fee, is it monthly?
On the Apple site there was a third option to have the iPad added to your existing Rogers data plan for $20. You didn't mention it here. Is this an option that's not publicly announced and is it a flat one-time charge of $20 or is it $20 a month?
We all really want to know about the $20 data sharing plan Apple's site mentions. Is it per month (terrible) or a one-time fee (amazing)?
Great! Thanks Rogers!
Finally a step in the right direction for Canadian data plans – $35 for 5GB is a step closer to the $30 unlimited in the USA.
Great work, Rogers!
I pre-ordered my 64GB iPad WiFi + 3G and added a Rogers microsim for $0.20! Can't wait!
And to those asking – read the post, it says they are CONTRACT FREE, PREPAID! Start/stop at anytime! Thanks Rogers!
Thanks for the feedback Adam. We're happy to see that our data plan prices for iPad stack up pretty favourably with carriers around the world.
He's being sarcastic genius. These plans are a disgrace. Congrats Rogers. iPad pre-order CANCELED, Cable and Internet CANCELLED, the cell phone goes this week. You just sent the whole shootin' mach over to Bell.
… why… so you can get the exact same plans?
It's great to see everyone so excited!
Many of you have asked about the shared data plan listed on the Apple website. This reference was an error and is being removed.
I'm now glad that I forgot to order the micro SIM. Without that $20 to combine with my iPhone data plan, this is totally unacceptable pricing.
Well, that is truly a disappointment. I don't see any reason to get the 3G ipad now. Just use your iphone as a wi-fi router with the appropriate jailbreak and software. I'm already paying for 6 gigs of download a month and I don't see how sharing my data with an ipad is any different than tethering my laptop (which is allowed and officially supported by rogers for no additional cost).
You're not getting any more of my money now; i might have even considered $20 / month, but certainly not $35. Phhfff… What a huge let-down.
Are you kidding me? How do I cancel my pre-order then…
Apple is very flexible with returns and cancellations. If you feel you were misled, I am certain (based on personal experience and that of friends) that Apple will accommodate.
That's a shame since an inexpensive data sharing plan would really have made Rogers a leader instead of just one of the pack.
That's unfortunate. A shared data plan would be a wonderful addition.
Is there a plan to have this added in the future. Your comments aren't giving us much detail on what the plan is.
We are already paying for data, why can't it be shared between devices.
And this needs to be added to Fido customers, why do we always get the short end of the stick.
How Rogers of you.
a $20 fee to just use data I am already paying for is insane anyway… just another opportunity for Rogers to milk us all for more cash… god forbid they recognize customer loyalty. Honestly a $5 add on for share usage of a current 6GB plan is fair… anything else is straight up robbery.-
mimc03, I couldn't agree with you more. We're already paying large for iPhone data plans WHY WOULDN'T we be able to share that with the iPAD. Just more corporate gouging. Hopefully competition with Telus or Bell push more reasonable plans for customers.
I pre-ordered the iPad based on $20.00 shared plan posted on the Apple website. I can not believe that both Rogers and Apple let that happen. We all know that Rogers was surveying customers about shared plans and obviously both companies at one point were heavily considering or discussing the option. Seeing as the plans weren't revealed until today, I can only assume that they were finalized at the last minute.
Honestly, I still would have bought one eventually, but the shared plan seemed like a fair deal and really motivated me to pre-order.
Corporate greed creates jailbreakers. I think everyone is willing to pay for what is fair, but when what is fair doesn't exist there is no reason to pay.
Offer a one time fee to attach ipads to current iphone plans or max $5/month. At least you would be getting some of our money rather than $0.-
+1 to that. I would gladly pay $5 to share my iPhone data plan with my iPad.
What a farce. That was a major snafu on your part or Apple's. I guess I will be returning my Rocket Stick at the end of the contract this month after all. Now to cancel the iPad pre-order.
"Error" !!?? Apple doenst make those types of errors, maybe a silent protest for current Rogers customers getting the shaft with our iPhone data plans.
I don't believe this was an error but Apple starting a Rogers up-roar like the one we had with pricing of the original iPhone.
I say we start another uproar for a ONE TIME add an iPad to our exiting plan fee.
"It's great to see everyone so excited!"
Thats a very Poor PR move on Rogers part and they should retract this false claim.
that is unfortunate. that was the trigger for me to pre-order. since rogers doesn't have 3g available where i live, but telus does (go figure!), i will have to toss the rogers microsim and wait for your competition to step up to the plate. i' glad to hear it's contract free, i'm sure telus will match whatever you offer and provide 3g where you still don't two years later.
I sure hope that people are excited about the iPad itself and not the Rogers data plans.
As always Rogers fails to meet or exceed expectations. Offering a 250MB data plan which 1) is too little for average iPad users' needs and 2) for failing to listen to customers who wanted to share their existing data plans on their existing iPhone / BlackBerry / Android / Data Capable devices.
Essentially, the attempt to excite customers with an announcement about the iPad plans may have worked. However, the plans themselves are in no way exciting or even worthy.
In the near future I'll try to contain my excitement more to the gadgets knowing that my wireless carrier of choice has no intentions in wanting to offer an exciting, affordable and innovative service offering.
Thanks but no thanks!
the only good thing about the announcement is that rogers' plans don't require a contract. as soon as telus follows, you can switch. bonus!
the rest of the info is certainly less than exciting.
Very disappointing Mary. Having rogers internet, you do not charge me for each computer I connect. It should be that way for this type of data as well. I should be able to use what I pay for. Data is data. Not sure if I will buy ipad. Will wait and see what your competitors do.
If the shared data plan is a mistake, is there any way to share an existing data plan at all?
At this time, there are no shared data plans available.
Can you explain why? Is it a business decision or a technical limitation? It really doesn't make much sense to not allow that unless Rogers has a pretty good one that will make people go 'ah ha, makes sense'.
In my opinion this is a decision by the shareholders and the executive teams to ensure that the shareholders get the profits on their investment in the Rogers shares by way of dividends being offered each fiscal year.
Can Rogers get someone to reply will real information helpful to the customer, or at least someone high enough up the totem pole to be able to speak openly?
There was a $20 admin charge for sharing my iPhone data plan. It was clearly there when I ordered the 3G+64G model. If this has been retracted I will simply cancel the order. This is not the way to keep customers.
Then there is no reason I should buy the 3G iPad. I refuse to pay $15/month for a piddly 250MB and to me $35 for 5GB is excessive. Give me another option and then maybe I'll give you my hard earned $.
Then please tell me why I should have to pay for the same data twice..
As soon as my contract is done I am out of here.
Any plan for exisiting iPhone users to share the existing data plan?
@ RogersMary
Many of you have asked about the shared data plan listed on the Apple website.
This reference was an error and is being removed.Still there… very poor communication…
And by the way, offering data service on a phone is not exclusive at all in 2010…
Why not offer service to your customer on Fido. They are your customer too, paying their bill to uncle Ted. -
$0.20 for a Rogers SIM card. Great deal. Thanks Apple!
Should be free for the privilege of paying to much. I have actually decided against a 3G ipad because of the crazy no share policy. I won't pay twice for data it simply doesn't make business sense !
RogersMary, my excitement over getting 3G on an iPad has completely disappeared with your statement that the shared data plan was a mistake.
Can you please explain to me why I am allowed to connect a netbook to my iPhone at no extra charge, but having a second 3G device consuming the exact same data plan is not allowed? It's the *same* data.
I can understand that having a second device on the account might legitimately pose administrative costs that would need to be recovered, but that can be handled via modest charge.
Remember that the iPad is unlocked. Therefore it is up to Rogers to "adjust" their offerings based on customer feedback… after all with the iPad 3G, we get to vote with our wallets EVERY 30 DAYS! Cool, eh!
Also, please remember that even if the others can technically offer support for the iPad, none has the guts to show their cards yet… I know, I visit Telus and Bell regularly asking that very question. As for Videotron, they appear totally lost when it comes to wireless.

The terms cushion and playtime are commonly used to describe the feel of ingredients and formulations on the skin. If one places a compound or formulation on their index finger and rubs it onto the forearm, both cushion and playtime can be evaluated.
Cushion refers to the amount of compound that persists between the finger and forearm—i.e., the greater the "distance" between the finger and the forearm, the greater the cushion. Playtime refers to the length of time that cushion persists. If the cushion is felt for a long period of time, the playtime is said to be long. If the cushion collapses rapidly, the playtime is said to be short.
In most compounds, the cushion and playtime are directly related. Honey, for example, has both a high cushion and a high playtime. There are also materials that have good cushion but a low playtime, such as the multi-domain alkyl silicone compounds described. Many applications require a high level of cushion and a short playtime, such as lipsticks, sun products and lotions. The reason for this is to impart an initial feel that is highly desirable that quickly changes to the final desired property, i.e., a dry, non-greasy feel.

Bam Margera Of MTV's "Jackass" And Australian ARIA-Winners The Veronicas Sign To Social Media Agency Rock Publicity's Full Time Management
Rock Publicity also keeps clients in the public eye through regular news stories and publicity campaigns. Staffers also regularly seek out corporate endorsement opportunities or partnerships in order to provide clients with additional exposure, streams of revenue or free products or services.
Acts or personalities that may not require or be able to afford full-time management can take advantage of the celebrity social media agency's ROCKstar consulting program. During the 90-day program, staffers teach clients celebrity social media management techniques for a band or act, including what kind of content to post, how to gain corporate endorsements, fundraising strategies, the secrets of getting online content to go viral and more.
In addition to the ROCKstar program, the agency will also provide consulting tailored to a client's specific needs as well as an endorsement program in which staffers approach relevant or recommended companies to seek out partnerships and sponsorships on clients' behalf in industries such as luxury motoring, clothing companies, electronics, liquor brands, restaurants and cosmetics companies.
"Social media management isn't just about increasing exposure" said Hill. "For many celebrities and artists it's a potential seven-figure revenue stream they're missing out on."

5 In a different league of horror to the rest...Supafly2 | 21/06/2009 | See all Supafly2's reviews (12)The slowish start leads you into believing you will be safe from fright, but you'd be wrong to feel so secure, the creepy parts provide a good warm-up session for the absolutely terrifying film to come.A simple story to follow, but the ending is quite poignant and emotional (I won't say which emotion, but nevertheless be prepared for how this pans out is not the run of the mill horror story-telling).The subtitles are not hard to read, the dialogue is not the pulling power of this film, however. What you can take from the title is close to what you can expect in the film. But you will be suprised at certain points, and most of the time cowering in fear behind the sofa and avoiding creepy little children for months afterwards.
4 very good.emperor10 | 22/08/2009 | See all emperor10's reviews (277)as a 'horror',it certainly isnt.. more like a 'mild ghost story' with creepy parts.but as a story, its superb,and beautifully made. produced by del toro, its more of an emmotional visual film.worth owning.
5 loved itkelzbellz | 13/10/2012 | See all kelzbellz's reviews (8)this film made my heart race and my temperature drop! as a big fan of horror films, this gave me everything i wanted- suspense, fear and anxiety . the subtitles were no problem and added so much to the character of the film ( wouldnt have been the same with some american accent) such a twist that i did not see coming, love love loved it! get it for halloween, u will not regret it! ;)
5 ExcellentNAHBOIS | 06/02/2012 | See all NAHBOIS's reviews (1)This is one of my favourite movies of all time (the other one is The Green Mile) This is supernatural and scary but also so so sad. I have watched it a good few times and its a film that always stays in my mind long after I have seen it. . I have passed this onto many friends and they loved it as well - even though it is subtitled it does not take away from the atmosphere and storyline of the film.Well worth buying
5 Knock Knock At The Door!!blayboy | 27/10/2011 | See all blayboy's reviews (447)*Producer Del Toro has worked on some major films. A year after producing Pans Labyrinth, one of the unique films of 2006 Del Toro produced The Orphanage. With expectations high this didn't disappoint.*The Orphanage is a great film, its well made and is more of a psychological horror. There's an intense yet very sad story. Its a film that really creeps up on you. Cant understand how a film this scary is classed by some as not being a true Horror! A great film if your after a bit of story and not just Gore!

In my other role as a performer I arrived at the recent Molotov Cocktail event in a flurry of hoops, straight from performing at another gig. Once I'd found the door (didn't know there was more than one way into OPEN, so cue slightly panicked back-and-forthing as the time ticked closer to when I was supposed to be on) I headed down the stairs and into the heat and the music.
There was very 'festival' atmosphere; organisers Festival Asylum had kitted out the venue with their trademark sweeps of curtain, lights and chandeliers (with added tinsel) and everyone was having a wonderful time.
Compere Paul Preston Mills cleared the space and got the audience to turn round to the new 'stage.' OPEN isn't the easiest venue for hooping as the ceilings are rather low, but I'm quite adept by now at working in small spaces and it went very well!
There were two support acts, and comedy duo Ellis & Rose, sadly I arrived too late to see them perform this time. But headliners Molotov Jukebox were on after me.
The atmosphere was great in the audience, though having rushed about all evening performing I always feel a bit removed from the festivities, which I suppose is an occupational hazard! Molotov Jukebox's set was fantastic; they interacted with the audience and each other, and the long build-ups in their songs had the audience jumping up and down.
This was only a flying visit for Vintage Norwich so I didn't stay long after their set, but there are more fantastic events lined up at OPEN with Festival Asylum in early 2013. Including an appearance from the Correspondents in March.
Visit the Festival Asylum website to find out more about future events, or visit the Festival Asylum Facebook page.

Chief Keef - Save Me (Prod. By Lex Luger)
Save Me Chief Keef Produced by Lex Luger
Take a listen to Chief Keef's newest release "Save Me".
While we await for Chief Keef's upcoming Back From The Dead 2 and Bang 3 projects, the Chiraq artist decided to drop off a new Lex Luger-produced track today titled "Save Me". This new joint comes just days after Sosa made headlines for admitting he's been making mistakes lately due to his "lean" habit. He recently told Billboard in an interview,
"My last two mixtapes were mistakes." "I was on promethazine, all drugged out. I was tweaking. I don't sip the lean no more though."
Does this track show improvement? Let us know what you think.
Quotable Lyrics:
Ridin' wit my chopper
I'mma beat him like his father
Now there's blood on my Giuseppe's
I don't like no fuckin' problems

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowAlthough the Raleigh has been a premier party venue since the boutique resort's 2003 remodeling, the hotel's food has largely escaped fanfare. Well, belatedly: TAH-DAH! Executive chef of the glamorous indoor venue and the casual outdoor grill, is Eric Ripert -- the Eric Ripert, pioneer seafood innovator from NYC's Le Bernardin -- and the Nuevo Latino fish dishes simply rock. The restaurant's refined fare includes a delicate ceviche of citrus/herb-marinated fresh fluke with jalepeño, a spicy-sour sauteed grouper sancocho, and roast lobster with mango sauce and a green papaya gratin. During the day, diners can select from simpler but equally imaginative Grill items and eat from a poolside lounge chair. The moderately priced selections range from unusual snack foods like Mexican-style grilled corn on the cob with grated queso blanco, or popcorn with parmesan and truffle oil, to more filling Latin-influenced sandwiches -- grilled sirloin chimichurri on ciabatta bread -- and a few fish entrées. On Sundays, those poolside can indulge in a pre-dinner cocktail and a 30 minute chair massage ($60).

"The service will be similar to competing programs from Google Inc. and Yahoo! Inc. Microsoft will announce a pilot program March 16, said the people, who asked not to be identified. These paid searches auction off placement next to Web search results to companies with related products."
I'm also interested to hear everyones ideas as to how MSN having a proprietary system will affect the PPC market - specifically its impact on affiliates.
Kind of like Google losing AOL.
Supply and demand will go topsy turvey and $0.05 CPC will rule.
As skibum said, advertisers will still pay the same CPC on google and will expand their campaigns to the other companies if it is worth it... google should not be effected much on the advertiser end. The only issue would be choosing which network to put on your sites exlclusively... but that competition will only benefit the publishers because the ad companies want to provide as many clicks (supply) to advertisers as possible.
The only reason you should experience lower CPC as a publisher would be because the newer networks will not be as saturated as google and therefor will not have as many people competing for the keywords. This is an advantage to the advertisers and a hurdle for the networks... but I dont see the disadvantage to publishers who stick with google and use the other networks to fill PSAs until they catch up to google.
Not much of a MSN fan, and besides that I'm not expecting anything special, just a solid product.
Competition is always a good thing, we'll see what will turn from MSN. Less then 24hrs remaining :P
On the brighter side, there is a good chance that more advertisers will jump on board the PPC market because of lower prices. If market expansion compensates for the expected price drops, then we wouldn't have any problems, market-wide.
This PPC news appears to be more like the program Overture, to gain income from advertising like G and Y! currently have.
It doesn't mention anything like Adsense, although we all know that it is an almost logic step for M$.
Perhaps we might see the launch of YPN, then M$'s PPC, then M$'s own Adsense program.
also, if msn promotes a lower cost for advertisers, then wouldn't that equate to lower epc for advertisers? and if that's so, I doubt they'll get many publishers to stick with them. Which means a smaller content network and less traffic for advertisers. again, why would advertisers go for this.
yahoo is in the same position. The balancing act is: luring advertisers while at the same time luring publishers. and that may be easy enough in the beginning. the trick will be keeping both.
Actually it won't matter where the traffic comes from. If 100% of the traffic comes from Google but the visitors click on MSN contextual ads you get paid for the click (if the program works in a similar manner as AdSense).
That's just not true.
I just doubled my spending on Google a couple weeks ago. If I could spend 100 times as much, I would. Every $1 I spend on Google AdWords returns me about $2 in profit. I would be a fool to limit my spending there.
I believe there are more people like me using Google AdWords than people with set budgets.
Yes, I just meant that advertisers won't have that much of an incentive to switch if msn can't deliver the traffic. And right now, it doesn't deliver that much. I just looked at my stats. I get 4 times as many referrals from google as I get from Yahoo. And I get close to twice as many from Yahoo as I get from MSN.
I honestly think that most web users just don't like MSN that much. And because of that I wonder how successful they'll be at luring advertisers away from yahoo or google. I don't think very.
I don't think this can be generalized.
Sure, you (me too) will spend on as much networks as much bucks as we can as long as ROI remains positive and margin doesn't dilute.
This week my campain made it in content network which trippled my clicks. Conversion rate is stable, so I won't complain :-)
But a big company will set a budget on everything it does. That's how these guys do business.
MovingOnUp's point is valid for enterprises which do not have do deal with "signatures" and/or "board approvals" (like a one-man operation like his and ours perhaps). But when it comes to big corporate-types, there's no way you cannot get away with that kind of un-planned expenditures. Advertising budgets are always a percentage of your sales forecasts. You revise your budget, you have to revise your sales forecast.

Genuinely nice items. Cooldown reduction on-hit is interesting. Champions like Jax just ****ed.
Bear Garrett
Sounds neat. Your phrasing suggests that this CDR from casting and auto-attacking will be subject to the CDR cap of 40%... which would make them an interesting design choice when aimed at the same few champs who can make good use of Nashor's Tooth...
I like the idea of CDR per hit/cast but it does have the potentional to be insane on some champs. I do like this as a new hybrid item though, god know we need more.
It's a good idea but I'd rather see Gunisoos improved to provide this rather than replaced.
I genuinely like the idea of a hybrid penetration item, it's unique, something the game doesn't already have, and is genuinely interesting. Good idea. What about if something like it build out of Guinsoo's Rageblade? Maybe rageblade+ longsword+amp tome? Just as an alternate idea. It wouldn't mix with the stacking of the two different items though. I personally don't think Guinsoo's needs improvement- it's an incredibly good item- what it lacks is a tier 3 upgrade, which makes it less attractive- it'd be nice if it had 2 upgrades, one AP and an AD leaning. But that's a bit of a tangent. From a balance perspective however- it might be a bit more balanced to change the CDR on whisper of the void from a 5 second long duration, to one that every time you use a skill, it loses all stacks- so the CDR is basicly a single use thing. Could reward mixing of auto-attacking and skills.
Irelia Bot
This would be great on Akali with gunblade, rageblade boots, frozen mallet, lich bane and perhaps a deathcap. Might even be better then just building her AP. IF someone else idea of having Gunisoos proved 10% armor and magic pen + 2% for ever attack or ability (up to 8 stacks) in addition to it's 45 ability power and 35 attack damage then hybrids likely be viable again allowing for 46.7% armor and magic pen with Weapon Expertise and Arcane Knowledge thrown in.
bump, I like hearing your guys comments.
