Yay Sedu!San Francisco, CAAwesome For Straightening And Curling!This is a really top quality flat iron. Heats up in seconds and makes my hair really straight but doesnt make it fall flat (it still has volume). Usually one run through my hair will do the trick. I got the 1" iron and its great for making loose curls or waves too. I am a complete dope with a curling iron but with the flat iron its super easy and looks great! Gives me that carefree, tossled hair look in less than 5 minutes :)posted Feb 5, 2008Link to this post
GEncino, CAReview Of Styling DvdI was thrilled to receive my SEDU styling DVD! I love it and the tips are great! I was planning to buy a curling iron ~ but now I wont need to! THANK YOU FOLICA ~ I AM ONE VERY HAPPY AND SATISFIED CUSTOMER!Gina : )posted Feb 5, 2008Link to this post
DenitaMinnesotaSedu PerformanceThe sedu is an excellent flat iron that doesnt damage your hair. It doesnt get as hot as I thought it would but would definitely buy it again.posted Feb 5, 2008Link to this post
PatBosto N, MAI Love This Flat IronThis is my second Sedu flat iron. I love this product. This is great for my medium length hair. I get just the lift Im looking for. Try it. Its worth every penney. It takes about an hour and a half to blow dry and flat iron my hair, but I am very happy with the end result.posted Feb 5, 2008Link to this post
Nirali<3Lenexa,kansasI Love It!!!!!My Sedu iron is actuley straightening at the bottom of the tip of my hair!! Thats the only straightener that does!Im soo happy!posted Feb 5, 2008Link to this post
MeganFort Wayne, INWhat A Difference!I had been using a Cricket flat iron that I paid about $100 for from my salon a couple of years ago. I decided to get this Sedu flat iron based on the reviews. What a difference! It takes me about half the time to flat iron my hair because I only have to make one quick swipe rather than going over and over it. It also leaves my hair shiny and silky. This is a big plus for me, because I color my hair about every 6 weeks. The Cricket seemed to dry it out more, but the Sedu makes it look great. Definitely worth the money!posted Feb 4, 2008Link to this post
CliffCaliforniaHairMedium HairAwesome ToolI am a male with fine shoulder length hair and I use this iron to add shine, reduce frizz and fix a slight wave.I purchased the " Sedu Revolution Pro Nano Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron " because I read that it wont pull your hair and it does not. The Sedu Revolution Pro is an awesome tool I have had a couple of the CHI Nano Styling Irons " that always pulled my hair " prior to getting the Sedu.It is worth the money, my wife and I now share it, best of the best, we love it.posted Feb 4, 2008Link to this post
John ChildersNew Albany MsGreat ServiceI ordered this product for my daughter for christmas.I ordered on December 15 and recieved the product in plenty of time for the holiday.Thanks so much for the prompt courteous service.posted Feb 2, 2008Link to this post
AprilThe Best By Far!!!!!Both my daughters have coarse, curly, hard to manage hair. We have tried several different brands of irons. The SEDU is the best by far. I kept reading in other reviews about the shine it gave your hair but I had no idea until she tried it. Her hair looks softer and shinier than it ever has. The price was alittle more than i thought my budget could handle but I am so pleased with the product, I am purchasing another one for my oldest daughter.posted Feb 2, 2008Link to this post
RaineyAnchorage, AKGreat Product!I had the original Sedu (1"), but the wire recieved a short in it after about 20 months. I had to strategically position the wire in order for the light to stay flashing(everytime that I put the iron down to section my hair for the next curl. I purchased the new Sedu Revolution about a month ago and it works great! It does work on black hair :)! This is the best hair product that I have ever used! I believe that this can work on all hair types!posted Feb 2, 2008Link to this post

Sorry ladies, Joseph Morgan is officially off the market! On May 14, the 'Originals' star revealed that he and 'Vampire Diaries' star Persia White are now engaged! Congrats, you two!
Joseph Morgan may play an evil killer (who we are in love with) on The Originals, but in real life, he's pretty romantic! The actor, 32, announced that his girlfriend Persia White — who you may recognize as Bonnie's mother Abby on The Vampire Diaries, are planning a wedding!
Joseph Morgan Engaged To Persia White
"We really appreciate those of you who have supported our wild, creative, passionate and unlikely relationship. We have found a rare and precious thing; true love. We wish you all the same," Joseph told Wetpaint.com in a statement.
Joseph met Persia, 41, in 2011 on the set of The Vampire Diaries and he was quoted in 2013 saying he was "very happy" with their relationship!
"I'm lucky enough, she came with me to New York to enjoy a little bit of the city. I get the weekend off so we get to experience a little of that. But that's all I'm going to put out there, I'm going to keep the rest for myself," he said at the time to Huff Post Live.
On May 15, Joseph confirmed the news again to E! at the CW Upfronts, but wouldn't get into "specific detail" on how he popped the question.
"I tried to be romantic. It was a nerve-wracking moment but it was special," he shared.
Our imaginations can fill in the rest. While we're bummed he's taken, we're so happy for these two! Congrats!

text: Jun 21, 2014 17:44 Rheta Grimsely Johnson headed to La. to meet her fans Rheta Grimsely Johnson headed to La. to meet her fans by Danny Heitman| email@example.com June 21, 2014 Comments Photo provided by New South Books -- Rheta Grimsley JohnsonEvery weekend, south Louisiana readers can visit with Rheta Grimsley Johnson through her syndicated column, a weekly feature of The Sunday Advocate's editorial page. On Feb. 22, fans will get to see Johnson in person when she appears at "A Gathering of Readers and Writers" in St. Francisville. The popular annual symposium is sponsored by Art for All. Other authors on the program include Anne Butler, Wiley Cash and Julie Kane. Ernest Gaines, a recent National Medal of Arts winner, will be present as a guest of honor. Born in Colquitt, Ga., in 1953, Johnson has covered the South for more than three decades as a newspaper reporter and columnist, including stints on the staff of The Memphis Commercial Appeal and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Tired of city life, she left the Journal-Constitution in 2001 and moved to Iuka, a rural Mississippi community known to her readers as Fishtrap Hollow. Johnson's syndicated column about life in the South is published in about 50 newspapers. Part travelogue, part front-porch musing and part political commentary from a self-described "yellow-dog Democrat," Johnson's writings offer lyrical takes on culture below the Mason-Dixon line. She's no stranger to Louisiana. For several years, Johnson kept a second home in Henderson, just outside of Lafayette, recording her love affair with Cajun cuisine, music and folkways in an acclaimed 2008 memoir, "Poor Man's Provence." Since then, Johnson has also published "Enchanted Evening Barbie & The Second Coming," a quirky account of her early years, and "Hank Hung the Moon," her tribute to Hank Williams Sr. Johnson's Henderson connection deepened her familiarity with St. Francisville, too. "I've been through there a million times when Don and I would drive from Iuka to Henderson. That was our favorite way to go because it was so picturesque," Johnson said in a phone interview. Johnson's second husband, Don Grierson, died suddenly from a heart attack in 2009. She has since married Hines Hall, a retired Auburn professor of history, and travel remains a big part of her life. "We travel a lot, and we've bought a (second) home in Pass Christian (Miss.)," she said. Louisiana continues to show up in Johnson's columns. She gave a big thumbs-up to the Crescent City after visiting the French Quarter Festival in 2012, praising the generosity of the residents. "That's one thing about New Orleans that never seems to change, no matter the occasion," she told readers. "It has manners. Individuals, most of them, go out of their way to be courteous. Statistically, you may get mugged and murdered before you leave town, but otherwise you'll be treated like royalty." Johnson was equally enthusiastic about the Louisiana Book Festival in downtown Baton Rouge when she visited the festival last autumn. "As book events go, the Louisiana Book Festival is way up there," she wrote. "Where else but Louisiana can you buy good jambalaya, hear rollicking live Cajun music, get the autograph of the Duck Commander's preacher son and watch the dazzling blond wife of Blue Dog creator George Rodrigue spill the secrets behind the art, all in the shadow of Huey Long's final resting place?" For Johnson, the festival seemed like just another example of the state's flamboyant spirit. Here's Johnson again: "Having spent a lot of time in this, the most colorful of states, in years past, I believe it to be Sutter's Mill for creative fodder. I've covered an alligator funeral in Ponchatoula, interviewed a geriatric stripper on Bourbon Street and written about the gubernatorial election that pitted a former Klansman against the charming shyster Edwin Edwards. The bumper stickers all read, 'Vote for the Crook; It's Important.'" In addition to her column, Johnson usually has another writing project going. Last year, she collaborated on a play about Hank Williams Sr. with educator, musician and playwright John Williams. The Hank Williams Boyhood Home & Museum in Georgiana, Ala., plans to stage the play soon. These days, Johnson is working on a book about life at Fishtrap Hollow, "The Dogs Buried Over The Bridge." Last month, she celebrated her 61st birthday. "I don't feel 61," said Johnson. "I feel really good. In a lot of ways, things are better now. I don't give a damn about what anyone else thinks. There's something liberating about writing what you feel like writing, and not worrying about what people will say." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

A newer version of FBackup is available.
Or, Learn More About FBackupSpectacular
Full user review
"Backup software seems Pointless"
Pretty pointless. Isn't is just as easy to copy onto a CD or DVD or Flash drive or somewhere that has the capacity to hold all your files?? This type of backup just copies onto another drive on your system instead of your main hard drive.......
...So, if for example your hard drive is C: in XP, all you're doing is copying it all onto another drive, eg. F drive. Therefore, if your system collapses, and info on your drives goes with it.
However, if was backed up "online", that's different!!!Summary
Pointless unless it offers online backup??
2 replies to this review
Come on, Vanillaman! What do you want from a backup program? Do you know what a backup is? Did you ever needed a backup? Can you understand how the program works?
I tried it, and I find it really useful as a great job. -
FBackup doesn't copy from one local drive to another, it lets you backup automatically to external/removable drives (such as usb enclosures for instance) or network locations. So if your drive fails you can easily restore from the destination drive.
And it does more just copying, it lets you do backups automatically (meaning you configure it to run periodically and it will do the backup without your intervention), it backs the files up by compressing them (if you don't want it to create exact copies), it backs up open files (which you cannot do by simply copying/pasting since the file is in use) and much more. If you don't understand how a backup application works and what it does then you shouldn't add pointless comments (I also see in your profile that probably 90% of your reviews are 1-star review, so that says something about your character).

Senior Kindra Carlson and the UW volleyball team will play Nebraska tonight at Hec Edmundson Pavilion against California for a shot in the Final Four.
Follow tonight's Elite Eight volleyball match from Hec Edmundson Pavilion between the Huskies and Golden Bears with Daily volleyball beat reporter Andrew Gospe at The Daily's Sports Twitter. Tonight's winner moves on to the Final Four.
Live thread
10:02 P.M. HUSKIES LOSE 25-14 -- Cal just too good tonight, and win 3-0. Bears will advance to play in the Final Four against USC in Kansas City, Mo.
The 2010 season comes to a close for the Huskies, who made quite an unexpected run to get here in the first place.
Look for a game story tomorrow from The Daily.
9:57 PM. CAL CRUSING -- Bears have a 17-11 lead and are simply too good tonight.
9:50 P.M. HUSKIES HANGING IN THERE -- UW not backing down, but Cal still ahead 14-9 and the Huskies can't keep trading points.
9:45 P.M. CAL TAKING CONTROL -- Bears are up 5-3 and McLaughlin wants another timeout. Cal is playing really good defense and is matching that with timely kills. UW really needs to go on a run here and get some momentum back before its season is over.
9:30 P.M. CAL TAKES SECOND SET 25-20 -- It's now or never for the Huskies, who will need to win three straight sets to move on to the Final Four. Murrey has 12 kills for Cal, while senior Kindra Carlson leads the UW with 14 kills.
In that second set, Cal hit .394 while the UW hit just .289. That was up from the first set, when the Huskies hit just .150.
9:27 P.M. CAL UP 24-18 -- McLaughlin takes another timeout as the Bears are just one point away from taking the set.
9:23 P.M UW NEEDS TIME -- UW head coach Jim McLaughlin takes a time out with his team down 21-16. The Bears are hitting .565 in the second set and are on the verge of taking a 2-0 lead.
9:15 P.M. BEARS UP 15-12 -- It's a close second set, with UW and Cal going back and forth. Huskies had a 9-7 edge, but the behind 12 kills from Tarah Murrey, the Bears have a 15-12 lead.
9:08 P.M CAL TAKES FIRST SET -- Just started up the thread here after Cal took the first set 25-21. Hec Ed is pretty packed and the energy here is electric. Huskies are up 2-1 in the second set.
Just beyond the security gates of the Odegaard Library lies a large pile of burnt literature, symbolic of the burning of 25,000 "un-German" books by college students in Nazi Germany on May 10, 1933.
The exhibit, titled Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings, is sponsored by Odegaard Library and the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center. It will be featured at the library until Feb. 28.
The exhibit is comprised of 60 panels and includes photographs, newspaper clippings and movie clips, all of which explore the book burnings, their role in the Holocaust, American responses to the burning and the current state of censorship.
What students will not see is how the remarkable feat of bringing the exhibit to the UW was achieved, said Lynda Ekins, building facilities manager at Odegaard.
"I had to fill out something like a 10-page report on the library in order to get the exhibit, telling them measurements for whatever they needed," said Ekins. "Security measures, space measurements, lighting, temperature control...everything."
After receiving a $3,000 grant from the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center and waiting for more than two years, the goods were finally shipped. Kathleen Collins, reference librarian at Odegaard, and Steve Dobell, library technician, were also instrumental in creating the mock bonfire that is one centerpiece of the exhibit.
It appears that students are taking notice, often gathering in a spot close to the exhibit, talking to each other about the burnings and other places where they've seen it happen, said Ekins.
The book burnings of 1933 took place at the town centers of 34 university towns across Germany. In the form of 12 theses, the German Student Association's Main Office for Press and Propaganda demanded to rid the German language and culture of any foreign or Jewish influence.
"It's very often that at the end, people end up asking how the Holocaust could have happened," said Laurie Cohen, co-executive director of the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center. "The whole idea of censorship and the book burning gives an idea of the roots of the Holocaust."
Among the 200 targeted authors were several well-known Americans, including Ernest Hemingway, Helen Keller and Upton Sinclair.
News of the book burnings caused uproar in the United States. More than 100,000 people gathered in New York City on May 10, 1933 to condemn the incidents and the treatment of Jews in Germany.
The symbol of book burning has also found its way into American popular culture. The restrictive idea of book burning served as the backbone to Ray Bradbury's 1953 novel, Fahrenheit 451.
It has also been mentioned in episodes of The Waltons (clips can be seen on the second floor of the library), M*A*S*H, Twilight Zone and in the movie Field of Dreams.
The American Library Association reports that cases of mass book destruction still occur frequently. The latest reported case of such an event took place Oct. 10, 2005 in the Houston, Texas, area.
"There are still books that are censored and still groups that don't want books to be read," said Cohen. "Censoring books is not new, it is not old — it is current."

About this lecture:
As the recession stutters onwards systemic and structural causes for the financial crash continue to dominate international news and debate. Never has there been such an appetite and desire to understand the financial institutions that govern us. But despite public interest, alternative investment vehicles such as private equity and hedge funds remain elusive. Both have always had a unique position in the market, designed as they are to function outside of the rules that govern other financial organizations. But what is it that they do and - significantly - how is it that they have prospered since the 2008 meltdown despite the introduction of new regulatory regimes?
Speakers: Professor Timothy Spangler (Kaye Scholar LLP / UCL Laws Visiting Professor).
On 14 and 15 June, UCL's Faculty of Laws hosted the prestigious 4th international Symposium of the Adolf A. Berle, Jr. Center on Corporations, Law & Society, titled 'The Future of Financial / Securities Markets'.
The Center, based at the Seattle University School of Law, was established in 2009 in honour of former Columbia Law Professor Adolf A. Berle (1895-1971), and is warmly supported by members of the Berle family. Berle is one of the most famous intellectual figures in US legal history. He was a prominent US statesman and member of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's influential "Brain Trust", whose thinking inspired many of the country's New Deal reforms of the 1930s. Berle is arguably most famous for having co-authored (with Harvard economist Gardiner Means) the classic work The Modern Corporation and Private Property, which has strongly influenced teaching and scholarship on Anglo-American corporate law since its initial publication in 1932. The UCL event, which was the first Berle Center symposium to be held outside of the United States, was co-organised by Dr Marc Moore (UCL Laws) and the Berle Center's Director, Professor Charles O' Kelley of the Seattle University School of Law. The symposium was supported by the Berle Center in conjunction with the UCL Centre for Commercial Law and UCL Faculty of Laws.
The symposium featured leading international thinkers from a variety of social-scientific disciplines. Speakers at the event included: Steven Schwarcz (Duke University), Emilios Avgouleas (University of Edinburgh), Cynthia Williams (University of Illinois), Claire Hill (University of Minnesota), Joanna Gray & David Bholat (Newcastle University), Adam Pritchard (University of Michigan), Merritt Fox (Columbia Law School), Wolf-Georg Ringe (University of Oxford), Margaret Blair (Vanderbilt University Law School), Ismail Erturk, Julie Froud, Michael Moran & Karel Williams (Manchester Business School), William Sjostrom (University of Arizona), Alan Dignam (Queen Mary, University of London), Justin O'Brien (University of New South Wales), William Bratton & Jill Fisch (University of Pennsylvania Law School), Paddy Ireland & Toni Williams (University of Kent), Ciaran O'Kelly & Sally Wheeler (Queen's University Belfast), Charlotte Villiers (University of Bristol), William Lazonick (University of Massachusetts Lowell), Lynn Stout (Cornell University Law School), Christopher Bruner & David Millon (Washington and Lee University School of Law), Blanaid Clarke (University College Dublin), David Westbrook (Buffalo Law School), Yuri Biondi (National Center for Scientific Research, France), Brett Christophers (Uppsala Universitet), David Webber (Boston University School of Law), and Anita Krug (University of Washington School of Law).
A collection of papers from the Symposium will be published in the fall 2012 edition of the Seattle University Law Review.

The event was sponsored by the Rt Hon. Stephen Timms MP and Jeremy Lefroy MP. This was in recognition of Dr Reisberg's help and support producing Transforming Capitalism from Within. University College London is also mentioned in the report foreword. Since 2007 Dr Reisberg has been acting as an Academic Advisor to a major Research Project entitled 'The Relational Company: Exploring a New Business Vehicle as An Alternative Company Structure', also commissioned by the Relationships Foundation.

This special invite-only event, held at the London Marriott Hotel on Grosvenor Square, was attended by a diverse group of participants including leading legal professionals and academics from the US and UK, together with representatives of major UK and European institutional investors. The session began with an expert panel discussion of the implications of the US Supreme Court's recent landmark decision in Morrison v NAB concerning the ability of foreign investors to seek protection under US securities laws. The panel members were Geoffrey Jarvis (Grant & Eisenhofer), Andrew Onslow (3 Verulam Buildings), Alexander Reus (DRRT) and Daniel Summerfield (USS). This was followed by a broader 'open floor' discussion of current comparative issues with respect to shareholder rights, chaired by the Centre for Commercial Law's Deputy Director, Dr Marc Moore.

Dr Arad Reisberg, Director of the Centre for Commercial Law and Vice Dean, Research at UCL Laws presented on the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The Rt. Hon. Professor Sir Robin Jacob, holder of the Sir Hugh Laddie Chair at UCL Laws, spoke on the rule of law. The forum provided a unique opportunity for Russian and foreign officials to engage in dialogue with international lawyers, judges and business representatives, with a view to the modernisation and reform of the Russian legal system. Lord Justice Jacob and Dr Reisberg also participated in a bilateral meeting to discuss key areas of legal cooperation between the UK and Russia, hosted by Russian Justice Minister Konovalov on 21 May.

Nick Gould of Collyer Bristows LLP, presented a seminar considering 'Common Sense" as the dark matter of business law in relation to the key aim, stated, of the Companies Act 2006 was to make this area of law easier to understand, in particular for the owners and managers of small and medium sized companies. However the continuous outpouring of company regulation as well as the feedback received from numerous SMEs, as well as larger groups, suggests that this has not worked as well as it should. What seems to be lacking, according to many owners and managers of SMEs, is a good dose of common sense. This is not something generally mentioned in the same breath as company law and regulation. May be it should. His paper presented on the evening, explores these points and considerations.
Prof. David Ramos Munoz, University Carlos III de Madrid gave a challenging seminar on Secruitization,
Securitization, for long the darling of financial markets, has fallen into disrepute. After the financial crisis stroke, subsequent inquiries showed numerous examples of questionable judgment or disregard for investors' interests on the side of parties planning or executing the transaction. Simple questions, such as "what happened?", "who is to blame?", or "how can we avoid this in the future?" quickly come to mind.
Finding quick answers is yet another thing. In their zeal to insulate risks, manage cash flow and avoid insolvency, arranging parties created sophisticated structures with elaborate flowcharts involving multiple roles and contract devices. Yet try to ask the simplest questions about liability and responsibility, and those flowcharts suddenly resemble an intricate maze where nothing is what it seems. Trying to make sense of securitization structures and web of relationships is the subject matter of this presentation. Known rules and principles must be applied to new situations and relationships, in order for SPVs and their directors, collateral managers, trustees, rating agencies, sponsors and underwriters to fall into place in a proper system of governance and accountability, and thereby make sense of securitization transactions and enhance their value.
A very successful evening seminar hosted jointly by the UCL Centre for Commercial Law and the Relationships Foundation on The Relational Business Charter: Towards reform of corporate structure and behaviour took place at the Faculty of Laws, UCL, on 10th November 2010.
Dr Arad Reisberg, Director, UCL Centre for Commercial Law, chaired this seminar which included an Introduction (featured in an article in the Guardian (see here) : by the Rt Hon Stephen Timms MP, former Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
Presentations were delivered by Dr Michael Schluter CBE, economist and Chief Executive, Relationships Global and Jonathan Rushworth, recently retired partner with Slaughter & May . The speakers at explored the relationship issues which underline the company structure as a business entity. They outlined the principles and some detail of the relational business charter that rates companies in terms of their contribution to building social capital, their sustainability and the extent to which they run themselves as a community.
The presentations were followed by Q&A session and a lively discussion with invited senior academics, fund mangers, practitioners, representatives of City institutions and charities and students. The evening ended with a wine and light refreshments reception.
This seminar ties in with one of the major goals underlying the activities of UCL Centre for Commercial Law, namely, to bring together academics, practitioners, and industry participants to discuss topics of mutual interest and foster a productive dialogue.
UCL Centre for Commercial law: The Relationships Foundation Background on the Relational Business Charter
Faculty members and Research Students from Oxford, the LSE and UCL participated in the first 2010-11 meeting of the Law & Finance Workshop which took place at the Faculty of Laws, UCL. The Law & Finance Workshop (formerly Corporate & Financial Law Reading Group) is a joint initiative between UCL, Oxford and the LSE and is now in its fourth year.
The objective is to provide a forum for discussion of common interests and work-in-progress presentations from Faculty members and research students whose work deals broadly with the intersection between law and finance. Two papers were discussed.
The papers sparked a lively discussion which proved not only to be interesting and informative but also fun. The speakers found the discussion and feedback extremely useful for the development of their work.
Chair Dr Arad Reisberg (Vice-Dean, UCL & Director, UCL Centre for Commercial Law) Speakers: Daragh Fagan (Thomson Reuters) Nick Gould (Ince & Co) Professor John Lowry (Professor of the Law at UCL and Vice-Dean) Dr Marc Moore (Lecturer in laws at UCL) Richard Smith (Slaughter and May LLP)
The Round-Table took place on 28-29 April at UCL and kicked off with an afternoon session on Debt Financing which was co-chaired by Richard C Nolan (Cambridge; Erskine Chambers) and Dan Prentice (UCL; Oxford; Erskine Chambers).
In addition to identifying the issues that are likely to take centre stage in the next decade or so (such as regulatory reforms which are of present concern), the title combines perspectives from practice, legal theory, and doctrinal analysis to present a comprehensive examination of the questions facing the current understanding and future application of corporate finance law. It brings together contributions from international leadings experts in this area.

In his lecture Arad examined the The UK's Companies Act 2006 arguing that it is complex in a way that makes even an airplane look simple. It is the most all-encompassing piece of corporate legalisation that has ever come out of Parliament. It contains 47 Parts with 1,300 sections and is followed by 16 Schedules. There are also over 70 statutory instruments made under the 2006 Act. It represents the first attempt since the 1850s (arguably, ever) comprehensively to re-examine and modernise substantially the whole of the existing UK legislation and significant parts of the case law on commercial companies. However, Arad argued that w hat is good in the Act is trivial, minimal and, in parts, quite bad; what is bad is very bad (for business) and quite ugly too; and that the ugly truth is that reform has (1) failed to meet the four key objectives that were to be delivered by the Act; (2) made very little difference for SMEs (Act not fit for purpose'); and (3) failed to focus on the real important challenges ahead. After offering a post-mortem on what went wrong, Arad proposed a number of lessons for the future.
The lecture will be published in a written form as part of the CLP lectures series by Oxford University Press in early 2011.

About this event: This seminar will focus on the effect of the Companies Act 2006 on private companies and whether there will be any impact on corporate finance activities. In particular, the Panel will discuss the abolition of the prohibition on private companies giving financial assistance for the acquisition of their own shares; the new procedure for reducing share capital of private companies; comparisons between the new capital reduction route and other existing mechanisms for reducing capital and to what extent these changes will facilitate corporate restructurings and enhance mergers and acquisitions.
The purpose of the event was to bring together academics, solicitors and other professionals involved in corporate governance to evaluate the impact and significance of current regulatory and behavioural developments in the field. The day's discussion was split into 4 sessions.
The first session of the day, chaired by Dr Marc Moore from UCL, dealt with the design of effective executive pay structures and featured stimulating presentations by Michael McKee from DLA Piper and Cliff Weight from MM & K / Independent Remunerations Solutions. The days second session on the responsibilities of institutional shareholders was chaired by Dr Arad Reisberg, Director of the UCL Centre for Commercial Law, and contained original and thought-provoking papers by Professor Charlotte Villiers from the University of Bristol and Dr David Kershaw from the London School of Economics.
The afternoons sessions dealt respectively with board structures and the Combined Code, and also the significance of corporate governance within the wider context of global financial capitalism. The session on board structures was presided over by Professor Benda Hannigan from the University of Southampton, and featured academic analyses by Professor Roman Tomasic of the University Durham, and Dr Marc Moore from UCL, on the legal implications of recent corporate failures arising from the financial crisis.
The days final session comprised a fascinating set of papers by Professor Paddy Ireland (Unversity of Kent), Professor Alan Dignam (Queen Mary, University of London) and Jonathan Rushworth (The Relationship Foundations) exploring the various moral and politico-economic issues which corporate governance poses within todays financialized business climate.
Discussants at the event were: John Hornby, Macfarlanes ; Robert Collard, Macfarlanes; Charles Martin, Macfarlanes; Hayley Robinson, Macfarlanes; Cliff Weight, MM & K / Independent Remuneration Solutions; Julian Hemming, Osborne Clarke; Karen Cooper, Osborne Clarke; Natalie Smith, Osborne Clarke; Michael McKee, DLA Piper; Michelle Monteleone, DLA Piper; Jonathan Rushworth, The Relationships Foundations; Nick Gould, Ince & Co; Paddy Ireland, University of Kent; David Jackson, BP; Charlotte Villiers, University of Bristol; John Lowry, University College London; Arad Reisberg, University College London; Marc Moore, University College London; Rachel Pitfield, University College London; Connie Sundh, University College London; Sahar Vahidi, University College London; Joseph Segilia, University College London; Yashodhan Zaveri, University College London; Brenda Hannigan, University of Southampton; Yakav Lichner, King's College London/ University College London; Alan Dignam, Queen Mary, University of London; Georgina Tasgka, Queen Mary, University of London; Roman Tomasic, University of Durham; David Kershaw, London School of Economics; David Carbrelli, University of Edinburgh; Bill Davies, University of Hertfordshire; Chizu Nakajima, Cass Business School, City University London
A symposium of papers from the conference are due to be published in a forthcoming edition of The Journal of Corporate Law Studies.
The event, titled 'Company Law, Corporate Governance and the Banking Crisis' was attended by a wide range of interested persons from both academia and the professions. The seminar opened with a welcome address by Dr Arad Reisberg, Director of the Centre for Commercial Law, Vice Dean and a Reader in Corporate and Financial Law. The discussion was chaired by UCL Laws academic Dr Marc Moore and featured a keynote address by Edward Walker-Arnott, an Honorary Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Laws and former senior partner of Herbert Smith. Other expert speakers on the panel were Dr Roger Barker, Head of Corporate Governance at the Institute of Directors, and Mr Cliff Weight, co-founder of the executive pay consultancy Independent Remuneration Solutions (now part of MM&K). The seminar also featured comments from UCL experts Professor Philip Rawlings and Dr Iris Chiu, and a closing address by John Lowry, Professor of Law and Vice-Dean in the Faculty of Laws.
The speakers addressed the key corporate governance issues exposed by the banking crisis and advanced proposals for future regulatory developments in this area. Some of the issues explored included
These issues sparked a lively Q&A session from the audience. The papers from the seminar will be published together in a special edition of International Corporate Rescue at the beginning of 2010.

The Melvins '51 States in 51 Days' Tour Diary, Days 29 & 30: Rock Stars Don't Care About You
"I don't fault anyone for making money. I fault them for being boring, talentless, inhuman fuckheads"
Sludge-metal pioneers the Melvins are attempting to break a world record: 51 shows in 51 states in 51 days. Join SPIN for their exclusive tour diary of this ridiculous and completely inadvisable endeavor! Catch up here.
October 2, 2012 – Pawtucket, RI @ The Met Cafe
October 3, 2012 – Newhaven, CT @ Toad's Place
October 4, 2012 – Brooklyn, NY @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
30 down, 21 to go
As a result of this SPIN tour blog we have actually had people asking us questions like how we could say such horrible things about these bloated, multimillionaire rock stars. And they always leave it off like at any moment we're about to get dragged before some rock'n'roll kangaroo court to stand tall before the man and pay for our ungodly sins against these talented and humanitarian pillars of absolute rock'n'roll dignity. Well clearly that should be the case, but let's get real for a moment here: What's Billie Joe Green Day or Rob Zombie or Bono going to do, not call us ever again? Are we going to be stricken from the rock'n'roll celebrity A-list as a result of these "outrageous" and pointless posted internet monstrosities? Will we receive absolutely no support from these people from now on as a result of actually having the balls to speak our mind in regards to this kind of bullshit?
Oh please, whatever they do to us don't let it be that! I can't imagine what it would be like to have to work and live our lives with no support from these blowhard, asshole bastard, multimillionaire talentless rock'n'roll idiots. If that happens I may as well just fold this whole thing up and call it quits! Come on. These senseless jackasses don't care about me or what I think and I don't really care what they think. Why would I?
There is not one thing I or any of the rest of you can learn from a millionaire rock star. Nothing. There is not one piece of information, not one bit of advice that they could ever lay on me that I could use in any area of my everyday life. I suppose they could put me in touch with a good divorce lawyer but that does me no good since I'm one of the few rock'n'rollers who's been married only once and I'm nowhere near getting a divorce. Of course they seem to know all about shit like getting divorced and surprisingly enough drug rehabs, but I don't need assistance in those areas. I don't need a coke dealer. I don't need a divorce lawyer. I don't need the number for a drug rehab. That seems to be the extent of the useful information they have to offer us lowly peons. To be fair though, they do provide us all with an example of what not to do. I suppose there is some good in that, and I suppose that is important.
However….We're talking about imbecilic five-star clowns with imbecilic five-star clown managers and road managers and an army of imbecilic five-star clown sycophant assholes surrounding them at all times and nothing they do ever surprises me. It's predictably boring and pathetic and it's one of the reasons the Melvins operate the way they do. I can't stand that fucking shit and I just don't care. And besides, before you get mad at us for speaking our minds about this trivial bullshit, remember, these guys don't want or need your help.
These rock star assholes don't care about you. They don't even care enough to try and make good music for their fans to listen to. What they generally care about has little or nothing to do with logic even because in most of these cases it's not about money. These overpaid lazy fuckers already have more money than God. So what exactly is the motivation for these boring turds? I have no idea. Lord knows I can't figure it out.
If I had to guess I'd say it has something to do with them liking having their asses kissed on and off stage all over the world. That's what they miss the most when they aren't "working." On tour they get to strut around like Louis the XIV, but at home their just another pot smoking dipshit vegging out in front of a big screen cable TV. Wow. I remain unimpressed.
And I don't mean to just pick on rich rock stars, my hatred in this department extends to all multimillionaire entertainers, be they comedians, TV personalities, news anchors, movie moguls, film directors, writers, artists, and actors, with actors being the lowest slime-crawling maggots of them all. Actors really are the scum of the earth. Their behavior makes overpaid rock stars look positively noble. But that's another diatribe. Don't get me wrong, I don't fault anyone for making money. I fault them for being boring, talentless, inhuman fuckheads.
"But come on, Buzz, aren't you worried about going a little too far with this insane and seemingly pointless shit talking?"
No….Why should I be worried? When I do ponder such things I just think back to one of my favorite Flannery O'Connor quotes which is, "I'm not afraid that the book will be controversial, I'm afraid it will not be controversial." Of course! I'm not worried about a goddamn thing. Now if I could somehow work it to where one of these multimillionaires takes a swing at me. Ha!
Anyway….We played a great show in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, at a club I'd never set foot in called the Met Cafe. Everyone who worked there were really helpful and very cool and we had a great show. Great crowd and good times were had by all. It was raining as we loaded out and there were a handful of very friendly fans waiting for us as we left who were surprisingly well spoken and only a tiny bit ripped. I like fans who are just a tiny bit ripped. Ha!
New Haven. A club called Toad's. We've played Toad's a shitload of times over the years and it's always pretty good. A few times ago we invented a game in Toads downstairs dressing room called "hall ball." This is actually an extremely dangerous version of wiffleball except it's played in a very confined space. You still throw the ball as hard as you can and you still try to hit the ball as hard as you can with the trick being to not get hit full in the face with a line drive. You have to be quick.
They also have a hot tub down there that I wouldn't get near unless I was wearing a complete hazmat suit and even then. No fucking way. I usually don't even like using the john at clubs let alone climbing into a fucking backstage hot tub for Christ's sake. Screw that. I won't even get in a hot tub anyway, or a public pool for that matter. In that horrid nightmarish thing swimming in piss would be the least of it. The club told us they thought the last people to actually use the tub were George Clinton and company.
I talked to yet another drunk after our New Haven performance who actually got irritated because I didn't want to stand there and listen to him complain about our show. I try to avoid that kind of shit to the best of my ability. Guess why? We also had a "fun" encounter with a "fan" who we all dubbed "Tweaky Crank-enstein." You can imagine how well that went. Some blown out dude who wants to gack-yak your ear off about nothing whilst on a crystal bender. Perfect. He went from band member to crew member to band member and drove us all nuts.
The best part of touring is playing the shows. I mean that is the point of touring, at least for me. I have been blessed in that I've always gotten to play with other good musicians. Our New York date was our 30th show in a row. Our last U.S. tour was about 30 shows total and they were not on consecutive dates. This is definitely a different animal.
We drove south after the show in New Haven to a lonely hotel in the middle of nowhere. The window to my second story room looked through a thick layer of evergreen trees straight onto the busy freeway. I turned on the AC full bore and between its incessant hum and the 70 mph traffic whizzing by 25 yards away I had a perfect white noise background to fall asleep to. As I was busying myself getting ready for bed for some reason, I was reminded of a quote from the movie Deliverance: "No matter what happens in the rest of the world, no one can find me here…."

This bedding is perfect for a boy or girl. The colors have a nice earthy-tone quality...they are not too bright or loud. Very soothing to look at but still stimulating for baby. The sheets have little monkeys on them (it's hard to tell from the picture). The Monkey is on several of the pieces but there is a good balance with usage of the other animals. Simply a must for anyone looking to go neutral but still have a fun theme to their nursery.
We bought this set about about a week ago and we love it. Everything in this package is as pictured. The quality is great and we can't wait till our baby is here in april, to use it!
We just bought this for our baby, who isn't here yet, But I am so excited! The colors are just as bold and bright as they are in the picture. Great for either boy or girl, we arent finding out. I thought the wall hangings were going to be wooden, they are just pillows, still just as cute. Fitted sheet is a bit small for the mattress, it still fits just not totally around edges. Love the design and the cute animals, hope our baby loves it just as much!!
We bought this item for our first baby and we love it! The baby's room looks great with it!!
Received this crib set and fell in love with it. Its beautiful and the colors are pretty close to what's shown in the picture. Great for boy or girl.
Great quality & value for the money. Makes a nice gift item.
Buying online without seeing the or feeling the product is hard so when I wanted to get this, the reviews are important. So here's my opinion. I bought this a month a ago or so for my son and have no regrets buying this bedding set. They shipped mine fast within 5 days. The quality is good not hard or stiff, I washed it when it arrived so even better. I like how the characters are overlayed and not just printed and it's really cute.The only negative is yeah the color isn't exactly like the picture, like not that Bright red. But yet it is a picture your relying on....... Overall i was paranoid upon receiving it but very pleased at the end.
The colors on the product are very vibrant even after washing. Very good quality print and material. Cutest animals!
The product i purchased was great. It fit well. Washed well. Arrived on time. I would purchase products feom this company again for sure. The price was excellent.
The colors and animals are great! The fact that this set comes with so many things is wonderful!!! I'm soooo happy I bought this when doing a jungle theme in the nursery. Everyone who has looked at it has liked it. The valances over the windows add a great touch. The diaper hamper is great. I can not say enough good about this.

LG Viper will snake its way into retail on April 22
Sprint and LG's eco-friendly 4G LTE phone will launch April 22 and is available for preorder today.
Sprint has confirmed that the LG Viper, its first 4G LTE eco-friendly device, will be available for preorder today and will ship to customers on Earth Day, April 22, for $100.
Rated "platinum" by UL Environment for fulfilling its sustainable requirements, environmentally conscious users can be a little more green with this device. It's packaged in 100 percent recyclable material that's made out of post-consumer paper, and, according to Sprint, the phone itself is "constructed from 50 percent recycled plastics."
Because Sprint's 4G LTE network has not launched yet , the LG Viper will ship with its CDMA mode (3G) as the default network connection. When users receive their 4G network, they can then turn their LTE capabilities on.
The Android Gingerbread device has a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, an NFC chip, a 5-megapixel camera on the back, a VGA front-facing camera, and a 4-inch WVGA touch screen.

The Robert B. EvansFamily Home PageUpdated September 22, 2000 |
Robert B. Evans 153 Greenwood Drive Lebanon, TN 37090 A-United States firstname.lastname@example.com |
Edit Your Page |
My family home is located in SW Georgia in the County of Sumter and the town of Leslie. My fathers family, The Evans and Jones were in Georgia for several generations. Uriah Evans the earliest of our line entered Ga in the Early 1800s in what was then Cherokee Territory. His decendants lived around that general area until the murder my great great grandfather J. H. Evans by Molly Bryant and her boyfriend. My Grandfather was raised by the Watsons who eventually moved to Sumter County to manage the Cutts Plantation just outside of Desoto, Ga. in Sumter County. The Jones side of the family has lived in Georgia for several Generations. Wheeler is the first we have history of in the Jones line but Pinkney Lucas Jones is the first we have record of being in Ga. having married Pricilly Elizabeth Graham in Chattahoochee, Georgia. He died of the measles during the War Between the States and is suppose to be buried at Church Hill Cemetery in or near Preston, Ga. His Son, my great grandfather, Samual Madison Jones owned and worked a farm in the southern part of Lee County. My mothers family , the Monroes and Gentrys came from North Carolina and Mississippi respectively. The Monroes lived in Cumberland County from the 1730s till my grandfather, John McNeill Monroe,left to work in different areas of the South in the early part of the 1900s. During this time he met and my grandmother Ida Carolyn Gentry in Mt. Olive Mississippi and Married her. They eventually settled on a farm outside of Leslie Ga. in the mid 1930s. If you have any information on these lines, I would be glade to share what information I have with you. Bob Evans |

I have a PHP script that needs to determine if it's been executed via the command-line or via HTTP, primarily for output-formatting purposes. What's the canonical way of doing this? I had thought it was to inspect SERVER['argc']
, but it turns out this is populated, even when using the 'Apache 2.0 Handler' server API.
Use the

will not be populated from the CLI. Also, all the HTTP_* keys in the $_SERVER superglobal won't be populated from the CLI, or do it the right way hop just mentioned :-) |
The documenation page for php_sapi_name clearly states how it works: "Returns a lowercase string that describes the type of interface (the Server API, SAPI) that PHP is using...." "Although not exhaustive, the possible return values include aolserver, apache, apache2filter, apache2handler, caudium, cgi (until PHP 5.3), cgi-fcgi, cli, continuity, embed, isapi, litespeed, milter, nsapi, phttpd, pi3web, roxen, thttpd, tux, and webjames." I'm not sure why hop doesn't think that PHP is for serious programmers (I'm a serious programmer, and I use PHP daily), but if he wants to help clarify the documentation then perhaps he can audit all possible web servers that PHP can run on and determine the names of all possible interface types for each server. Just make sure to keep that list updated as new web servers and interfaces are added. Also, Bobby said: "I'm intrigued as to why the doc. example inspects the first 3 characters, whilst the description states the string should be exactly "cgi"" The description for the example states: "This example checks for the substring cgi because it may also be cgi-fcgi." |
This will always work. (If the PHP version is 4.2.0 or higher)
Which makes it easy to use at the top of your scripts:

Mortgage managing tool
Monitor your mortgage and all the figures surrounding it with this program.
Home Loan Interest Manager Pro provides a tool for monitoring every aspect of mortgages. While the program can get overwhelming, it ultimately helps users understand home loans.
With the program's many command options, we smartly headed to the topic-oriented Help file. This, along with the program's wizard, showed us how to navigate our loan within minutes. We needed to have a lot of information present to fill out the wizard (Interest rates, loan amounts, duration of the loan, etc.), but it was worth the hassle since it laid the foundation of our mortgage. Some other options were much more difficult, such as the tools for checking errors, reviewing costs, and planning for the future. Each of these lacked the wizard's strong design and required us to return to the Help file to learn more about their various fields. Once we felt more comfortable, these tools pieced together and provided a better image of how our personal finances and debt played into our mortgage. One feature that actually made things easier was the ability to import transactions from a spreadsheet. This went directly into the financial planning program and saved us from having to manually input the data. Overall, the program required patience and some added effort, but we did get a clearer picture of the complicated world of mortgage loans.
Home Loan Interest Manager Pro comes with a 14-day trial. While it takes effort and patience to properly work it, we recommend this program for home financial planning.

The 25 most evil achievements finale, part 2 {WoW}
May 21st 2010 5:40PM As a proud owner of an Insane title (completed the feat in ~5 months of on and off farming and extensive AH manipulation) I have to disagree with Insane in the Membrane being the only one on the pedestal of the most evil achievements.
I have a couple of friends in my guild that are PVP fanatics (to say the least) one of which has the Battlemaster title and one having the Arena Master achievement and after long discussions between us we all came to the conclusion that all 3 are equally "evil" in their own right.
Arena requires the most synergy and a mastery of all brackets of arena... a feat I still have not managed to even remotely reach; the Battlemaster requires a lot of tenacity on your part (wining 100 BGs of every BG is not something I can really stomach on my battle group and I am Insane...) and a hell of a lot of luck; while the Insane requires a huge time commitment, excellent AH management (or if you have kids that can do the almost impossibly long farming for you) and the will to stick to it to the end... I know I almost gave up several times.
So Allison Robert I must respectfully disagree with your choice of Insane in the Membrane being alone on that pedestal of #1 most evil achievement and believe that Battlemaster and Arena Master are deserving siblings of the evilness that is Insane in the Membrane.

Insider Trader: Profession bonuses and the crafters who love them {WoW}
Dec 5th 2009 11:24AM I usualy don't post comments but I had to this time. Michael Gray I apreciate your colum and like to read it but I could not help but see how biast you where towards alchemy. I have a alch/herb toon along with 9 other alts that are sporting all other profesions in diferent combinations for the heck of trying them all out.
When it comes to caster benifits from profesions tailoring outright beats everything else as the cloak enchant is a mini trinket proc that IS reliable and procs often (I use it on a afliction warlock and in his shamefull gear I embares ppl who have 1.5 times my gearscore on the lock as DoTs tick for the SP they where cast at)
For Alchemy vs. JC vs. Blacksmithing vs. Enchanting for caster benifits are well balanced and all provide ~+46 SP along with profesion specifit secondary benifits. When it comes to Alchemy I get to not spent ridiculous amounts of money on AH on flasks as my flask lasts 2 hr which accounts for most of my raiding time in a single night and reduces flask consumption by 1/2, also flask of the north lets alchemy be competative in arena profesions.
In addition you did not mention the 3 alch trinkets, which while not as good as the JC ones, are still good for any 75+ player and new lvl80s and I personaly could not find a replacement untill I got lucky enough to snag some raiding trinkets from Naxx 25 and Ulduar...
Not trying to be a dick or troll but if you want to advise people a neutral aproach towards the subject will help people decide by themselfs based on the quality information provided. Just because I love fire mage dosen't mean I will advocate it to anyone who asks me what spec they should go...
Name one thing you'd change about your class {WoW}
Dec 9th 2008 9:09AM as a devote fire mage and future elemental mage (fire build) I must say that I am insulted w/ the friking saturation of haste and mana/5 gear
I guess its not such a change to class as much as it is a change to drops/gear for mage class. Frost/arcane are satisfied w/ +haste but fire is more concintrated for crits. I hit lvl80 while holding onto 1/2 of my lvl70 epics just to keep my crit above 25% for fire. Added to that I only had 124 hit. I had to get glyphs just to help me get to 30% and ran heroics day and night to get me some T7 to get me some decent crit and spellpower.
To get to the point and skip all the ranting I am pissed off because I need to clear specific heroic for 1 drop that probably won't drop just so I can justify not friking skiping geting ignite, hot streak and burnout and put them in something else (why would 2nd to last tier in fire talents be +50% to crit calculation if you base your damage on 0.2-0.4 sec faster non-crit fireballs?!)
Arcane Brilliance: Leveling your Mage through Northrend {WoW}
Nov 18th 2008 9:16AM P.S. at lvl80 (just guessing at this point) I belive the elemental build of fire/frost will be the most powerful because of frostfire bolt taking on the effects from both frost and fire talent trees combining shatter and ingnite as well as making it posible to get shatter combos eaven if you are more fire than frost
Arcane Brilliance: Leveling your Mage through Northrend {WoW}
Nov 18th 2008 9:13AM first off this is NOT a guide, its a interesting read but its ranting and boosting arcane mages. I have nothing against you but this sould not be called a guide if you plan to just rant and be biast to one spec
My main is now a lvl72 fire mage (bin fire since lvl10 3 years ago lol) and I am a hardcore fire mage... eaven when it wasen't the popular choice for all the "cool kids".
All 3 mage trees have their up and downs and its al labout personal preferance now. If you are good you can do the DPS, but you have to know your spec and what your weakpoints are. Arcane is the lowest AOE capability spec so AOE lvling is not so much a option here as it is for the other specs. Frost is the easy AOE mode but fire got some awsome new boosts that bring it up there. The biggest diference is that frost has the defencive and slowing effects making the AOE grp controlable trough slowing them and giving the mage a extra armor to negate the damage and pushback. Fire on the other hand now carries its traditional "I kill you before you kill me" burst AOE capability in a splender of a rotation that will force eaven a good pally tank to put on their A game. The addition of Firestarter (100% chance to get intant flamestrike after you damage ANYTHING w/ either dragon's breath or blast wave) must be the single most usefull addition to a hugh-burst damage AOE fire rotation. Run around and gather the mobs w/ arcane explosion, go backwards once you have your group to funnel them in front of you for a dragons breath (aply living bomb when you start gathering your grp w/ arcane explosion). Once the grp is in front of you use your Dragon's Breath which now gives you 5 sec of time to refresh your mana shield if you must, pop a mana gem etc. use the 5 sec to your advantage to get some time off Living Bomb and time your instant flamestrike so that it hits when the bomb explodes or when the stun is about to fade off. Use Blast Wave once the mobs run to you which trows them avay from you and slows them down, just wait for the AOE grp to start going towards you again and they will be in flamestrike radious again so pop it and FN them as they reach you. At this point your Living bomb alredy exploded and you delt over 10k damage to your whole grp... if the mobs are still alive you have a FN grp in front of you so charge another flamestrike on them and spamm arcane explosion for 2-4 sec to get your Dragon's Breath rdy again adn stun the whole grp once more and instant flamestrike.
If the AOE grp is not dead by then then you pulled elites or something and you are gona die lol (after this full rotation you sould have done close to or over 15k damage to al mobs in the AOE grp and since you are using mostly instant spells it takes little time once you actualy start it after you gather up the mobs and there is no spell pushback)
The down side to this is that the little contact you do have w/ the grp and the beating you take while gathering the mobs is heavy on your HP so somethimes if I mess up my own rotation I find myself questioning if I am about to die but it only takes a bit of practice and you can fully controll your AOE grp. Also you are spamming a LOT of instant spells in a short time so if you are sportng a mana shield you might run out of mana depending on your pool but I manage to kill a set of Shoveltusk herd (4-6 mobs on pull) w/ 1/2 of my mana and HP... at full mana/HP I usualy pull 2 bulls and 2 herbs totaling to around 10 mobs and end up w/ 30-40% HP and 60% mana (I avoid mana shield usualy). Etleast after all of that mass genocide upon the poor Shoveltusk my cooking skill jumped up and I made a load of critter bites haha
This AOE farming style is not for everyone but I enjoy it because its so much burst DPS and its a chalenge because you lack the defencive frost talents so it makes it fun and involving (chalenge myself to execute it better and better to have a better Hp/mana outcome and kill more mobs in a AOE pull)
Sorry for ranting only about fire but I gave my 2 cents to give some fire prospective to this "guide"
