Building a Linux-Based High-Performance Compute Cluster
Select one machine to be the head node for the cluster. The rest of the machines will be the compute nodes in your new cluster. As it installs the compute nodes, Rocks numbers the machines as compute-x-y, where the x is the rack number, and y is the number of the machine within a rack. Say you spread the 32 nodes over four racks. If you want to follow the Rocks naming convention, you would set things up as follows: rack 0 contains the head node, so the numbering of the nodes would be compute-0-0 to compute-0-6. Rack 1 would come out as compute-1-0 to compute-1-7. Rack 2 would contain compute-2-0 to compute-2-7. Rack 3 would follow suit.
Alternatively, you simply could pretend that all the machines are in a single rack: compute-0-0 to compute-0-30. Either way works, so use whatever is comfortable for you.
First, you need to get a copy of the Rocks package that will be appropriate for your cluster's hardware. Navigate to the Rocks Web site, and select the Download tab at the top of the home page to access the various versions of the package. The 5.1 version is the latest at the time of this writing. Click the link to get a listing of the components of the package. For this exercise, I selected the x86-64 Jumbo DVD image, downloaded it and burned it onto an empty DVD. While you are at the site, download the documentation. If nothing else, it will give you something to read while the software loads.
Boot the head node from the newly minted Rocks DVD. If everything is working as it should, you will be greeted with the welcome screen shown in Figure 2.
Enter build at the boot: prompt to start the installation sequence. The system boots in the normal Linux fashion and eventually presents the user with the initial Rocks configuration screen shown in Figure 3.
A Note about Rolls
The Rocks package is composed of a series of rolls. Some of the rolls are central to the cluster system itself (the Base Roll, the OS Roll, the Kernel Roll and the Web Server Roll). Some contain cluster functionality (the SGE Roll, the Java Roll, the HPC Roll and the Ganglia Roll). And finally, some rolls contain application software (the Bio Roll). Each roll is documented, so you can decide for yourself whether you need it in your installation. The commercial version of the Rocks package, Rocks+ from Clustercorp, adds additional packages that include commercial compilers from Absoft, Intel and the Portland Group as well as the TotalView debugger.
Because you have all of the software components on the Jumbo DVD, you will do your installation from CD/DVD-Based Rolls. Select CD/DVD-Based Roll. This brings up a screen listing all the individual components you can select from the DVD (Figure 4).
For the purposes of this installation, I selected everything except the Bio Roll and the Virtualization Roll. You probably will select a different set of components. At absolute minimum, you need to select the Base, Web Server, Kernel and OS Rolls. Once you have made your selections, click Submit to continue the installation.
The installation now repeats the first screen, showing your selections (Figure 5). If you are satisfied with your selections, click Next to continue to the first of the administrative screens in the installation. If you want to make a change, click CD/DVD-Based Roll to go back to the component selection screen.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

[Dateline: New York | Author: Department of Public Information]
On 5 November, the Department of Public Information (DPI) will host a special screening event to celebrate the 60th anniversary of United Nations TV (UNTV) at UN Headquarters.
The event will show excerpts of award-winning productions, including the short film First Steps, which won the Oscar for UNTV's predecessor, UN Films.
The screening, from 1:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., will take place in Conference Room 6 at the Secretariat and all are invited.
Producers, editors and other members of the UNTV team will be joined by Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information Kiyo Akasaka, News and Media Division Director Ahmad Fawzi, dignitaries and other senior officials.
Over six decades UNTV has filmed events that changed the history of many parts of the world, such as the end of Apartheid in South Africa, the restoration of peace in Central America and the birth of a new country, Timor-Leste.
At Headquarters, UNTV covers live meetings in the Security Council and the General Assembly and press encounters and concerts. UNTV's work can sometimes involve over a dozen cameras shooting complex events.
New Yorkers can receive UNTV through Time Warner cable on Channel 150. But thanks to the web, people around the world can watch UNTV coverage wherever they are. The channel has also become interactive with a presence on YouTube which engages audiences in new ways. For instance, just two months ago, users around the globe sent their messages to world leaders through the UN channel on YouTube.
Throughout the year, regular series are produced to tell the UN story in programmes such as 21st Century and UN in Action.
UNTV's work over 60 years has generated more than 150 prizes from the international broadcasting industry.
On 5 November, the UNTV team will have an opportunity to step back and become the story as they celebrate six decades of Sharing the World's Storie s.
UN TV at 60!
5 November 2009, 1.15 to 2.15 p.m
People will be seated on a first come, first served basis. |

After Dead Trigger went free-to-play on Android, it was only a matter of time before the iOS version followed suit. With this latest update, that's exactly what happened. The game is now free to download to any and all gamers, so there's no reason not to play this stunning game.
They've also added a few features, including cloud saves, survival arenas, and a rather lame casino section. Also, if you bought the game for a buck when it originally came out, you're not totally left out in the cold. When buyers open the app for the first time after the update, they're rewarded with 25 gold and 10 casino chips. It's not the grandest of prizes, but at least you got to play the game before all the cheapskates.
But on to the new stuff. The curiously labeled "New Hope" area is where you'll find your statistics, like how much gold you've earned, how many heads you've shot, etc. It's also where you can create an account for cloud saves, which lets you continue your saved game from other devices, or maintain your save after deleting and reinstalling the app. This is very handy, but it would've been nice if they'd used iCloud instead of their own system, which requires you to come up with a user name and password.
The new arena mode sends waves of zombies at you until you die. It's fun, but doesn't feel all that new. They've also added an iron-sight button that you can use to zoom in your view a little while aiming. The new weapons are pretty cool as well, especially the chainsaw.
The Casino is where you can go to spend your casino chips. All this lets you do is play a slot machine for a chance to win gold and cash. It's not nearly as thrilling as shooting zombies, but who doesn't appreciate the occasional free batch of currency?
So there's lots of new bits to check out, but the core gameplay remains the same: killing zombies and then killing more zombies. The developers haven't addressed the hit detection issues or added a multiplayer mode, as we'd like to see done. On the other hand, they've made one of the best-looking games ever for iOS absolutely free to play, so everyone should give it a shot.
Dead Trigger makes a killer first impression. The graphics are stunning, the action is fast, and the blood splatters right on cue. At a glance, it really looks like a current-gen console game–but it's not, and when you play it, that quickly becomes obvious. From the short missions to the pesky in-app purchase offerings, Dead Trigger is very much an iOS game. Is that a deal-breaker?
Not in the least. First, Dead Trigger is one of– if not the– best looking iOS games we've ever played. It matches the detail and sharpness of Infinity Blade II, but here you get a full range of movement. Better yet, it's smooth. We played it on a third-gen iPad, and no matter how many enemies were onscreen, we never saw any slowdown.
The game is mission-based, and each mission is set up a lot like Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies–you're placed in an enclosed area, and the undead enter through barriers you can't go past. Your goal varies from mission to mission, but it always involves you running around and killing lots of zombies.
Such pretty eyes.
Only a few kinds of missions are on offer here, and none feel very different from the others. You might be asked to stay alive for a few minutes, or kill a certain number of zombies, or protect something from damage, or bring packages to a drop zone, but the missions all blur together. The lack of variety is disappointing, and makes Dead Trigger work better in short bursts than in marathon sessions. On the plus side, the missions are short, perfect for gaming on the go.
An important question about any iOS first-person shooter is how well the controls work, and in Dead Trigger they're reasonably tight. Moving around with your left thumb is simple, and aiming and shooting with your right feels snappy. You also have enough health that if you suffer a few cheap hits it's not the end of the world (which is to say, it's not the end of your character's life).
However, just about every time a zombie comes within a few feet of you, it swings and injures you. Something feels off about the game's hit detection, both when you're attacked, and when you do the attacking. This varies a little from gun to gun, but oftentimes we'd fire a string of bullets right into a zombie's head, and it simply wouldn't die. Mobility is also a concern. Your walking pace isn't very fast, so it would be very handy if you could sprint, or at least shove encroaching enemies away from you. Unfortunately, neither are possible.
These dudes are relentless.
Although Dead Trigger isn't free, it's set up a lot like a freemium game. You have access to two types of currency, gold and dollars. You get dollars by completing missions, picking up loot drops from dead zombies, and finding chests tucked away in certain levels. Money is fairly easy to come by, but the weapons in the game's shop are pricey. Some weapons and items, however, can only be purchased using gold, which you can obtain by doing annoying stuff like liking things on Facebook, or by buying it through in-app purchase. Naturally, gold is required to buy the coolest weapons (M4, minigun) and the most useful items (speed and damage boosts). This dual currency thing is annoying, but it doesn't ruin the game even for people who don't want to spend any extra money.
Perhaps the biggest oversight is that there's no multiplayer in Dead Trigger. Battling other players online would be a ton of fun, and a nice change-up to the rather dimwitted enemies. The challenge of facing zombies comes from killing them before they overwhelm you with their numbers. Fighting other players online would add a whole new dimension to the game. We have our fingers crossed that they'll add multiplayer with an update down the line.
If you approach Dead Trigger looking for anything other than an intense, fast-paced bloodbath, then you're going to be disappointed. It may look like an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game, but it plays very much like a game built for iOS–which, of course, it is. So check your expectations at the door (and maybe your brain along with them), and you'll find plenty to like about Dead Trigger.

@seag47 – I was very excited to go on a birding trail by the ocean in Florida. I couldn't wait to see all the exotic birds, and I had my camera ready.
I was surprised when we pulled up to the sandy parking lot and saw a sign saying that we should wear mosquito repellent. I didn't expect mosquitoes by the sea, so I didn't have any, but we decided to walk the trail anyway.
The trail was basically through a jungle of palm trees and bushes. After about two minutes on it, we had received so many mosquito bites that we had to return to the car. It was unbearable!
I was disappointed that I didn't get to see any herons or gulls on the trail. I would just like to tell you that if you get the chance to go, wear mosquito repellent and long sleeves and pants if possible. It wouldn't hurt to wear a mosquito net on your head, either.

One Piece has turned the dial up to 11 during their last chapter, and I'm guessing it is going to stay that way until our boy Hody is in a shallow grave. The Straw Hats have just done what they do best, make an excellent entrance. No longer will the New Fishmen Pirates be able to prance around like they own the place, this is Straw Hat Territory now.
Despite this awesome entrance, the Straw Hats are in a bit of a bind, there are only 10 of them. The enemy on the other hand are said to be over 100,000 strong; and if I remember correctly, a merman is like 10 times the strength of a normal man, so that's like 10,000,000 humans! Though honestly at this point of the story a regular grunt unit is pretty much worthless, so when it comes down to it its more like 10 really strong people they have to fight against; which means they are pretty much equal.
We learn more about how this plan went into fruition during this chapter. Basically instead of Luffy being an aggressor in this situation, he had to be a hero in the eyes of John Q. Taxpayer. Also, Luffy need meat, and meat he will get once this is over (most likely the meat of all those 100,000 fishmen).
Hody is pissed, pissed that Jinbe is helping them, and pissed that the humans are standing up for themselves once again. He tells everyone about what he will become when he is king, stupidly telling them that he will be the King of Pirates, which almost always puts Luffy in a blind rage. And rage he did, using his haki to basically take out 50,000 troops in one blow. Amazing. We end with the rest of the crew entering the battle, giving us hints of a new awesome Franky created weapon in the works. (I'm praying for a mech!)
100,000 really? I can barely see more than 500 people in that area, but maybe that's just me. Are they all hiding, are they all present there? Is he counting the pirate slaves in that number as well? I don't believe it until I see an official census.
I can't wait to see the rest of the Straw Hats go crazy out there on the battle field. Seriously, if there really are 100,000 fishmen out there, that definitely isn't enough for these monsters. Luffy had already taken out half of them by himself, and we all know this is cake walk for Zoro; hopefully he leaves some alive for the other crew members. Thanks to this chapter, we will probably be getting a Dynasty Warriors One Piece game now.

Lenses / Re: Weddings 70-200mm 2.8 is vs 4 is
« on: February 19, 2013, 05:27:01 PM »Weight is a definite concern with the 2.8ii and was probably the main reason I chose the f4IS over it. I just couldnt stand carrying that thing around all day. I'm much happier using the lighter zoom and filling in with fast primes when needed.
I think with the 5D3 the low light performance is good enough that f4 will fit the bill just fine.
Also you dont want too shallow a DOF in events and gatherings...and i assume you will have a prime for really shallow work)
70-200L f/4 is a highly regarded zoom in its own right and weighs about half the larger sibling.
While I fully recognize (and own) the f/2.8 II as a high quality zoom, I do not agree that it is called for at every turn just because it is a super duper zoom that also does window and vacuums your floors! There is a cult like following that suggests this zoom as a panacea for everything. If weight is a factor, then by all means stick to the f4 and it is a kick ass zoom.

What's the Optimal Length for Your Tutorial Video? Shorter Than You Think
A question I hear often is "how long should my marketing or branded video be?" In the next few weeks I will discuss the optimal video lengths for different types of videos, and also tap into some guidelines for each type of video. What I write here is based on our experience at Veed.me, where we match businesses that need videos, with videographers. Let's start with a general overview of video length:
How Long Should My Video Be?
We are always being asked "How long should my video be?" But the truth is, we think that the real answer should "How short should my video be?" Videos can be a very tricky medium to use to get your message across. Yes, they are very accessible, and lend themselves to being shared, but unlike display ads, and images it's up to our audience whether they will click play and choose to watch them or not.
It makes no difference whether your product or service is awesome, if they have never heard of your brand, there are two things that are going to determine whether they hit the play button:
- First impression, AKA - The thumbnail (that's a whole different discussion but, you can imagine what works)
- The length of the video
Here's a little test: Imagine that A, B and C are all videos with neutral thumbnails, which one will you click?
When the length shows A) 0:xx (less than a minute)? B) 1:xx? C) 2:xx?
That's right. "A" is the winner, while over two minutes will be (for the most part) the big loser, in terms of keeping the viewer engaged throughout. In one of Wistia's video lengths analytics, we are shown that shorter videos have the advantage when it comes to getting more people to watch the whole thing. Shorter videos produce a more engaged audience.

At the caravan park we strive to maintain a high standard of customer care and we find that many of our guests return on an annual basis or may even purchase their own static caravan. Whether it is your annual holiday, or a relaxing weekend break, our rental fleet of holiday caravan homes provide an ideal base for exploring the local area.
Alternatively, the peace and tranquillity on the Park provides an ideal place to sit back and relax. We also welcome touring units and tents. Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control at all times.
Obtaining its name from the old railway station, the caravan park has unique characteristics. An old railway platform has been converted for use by touring caravans and motorhomes to offer a superb view of the Moray Firth. Additionally the Park has two other areas specially reserved for touring units. There is a walled garden providing shelter and is an ideal area for tents. There is also a large open field which also offers partial sea views.
Dolphins and seals are frequent visitors to the Moray Firth waters and can often be spotted from the caravan park.
The village of Hopeman has various shops which cater for your basic everyday needs. The city of Elgin is less than 15 minutes away, where you will find well known high street chain stores and leisure facilities.
There are several good restaurants within the area. Sailing lessons are available at Findhorn. There are many castles to visit in the Moray area and there is also the Malt Whisky trail which provides for an exciting day out, or maybe you would prefer to take a relaxing stroll on the various coastal walks.
There is an excellent information kiosk on the caravan park which provides details on the many things to do and see in the Moray Firth area.
The site opens at 12.00 midday on 28 March 2013 and closes at 3.00pm on 27 October 2013
Hopeman is easily accessible whether you travel by train, (east coast to Aberdeen or West coast to Inverness ), fly into Aberdeen or Inverness , or by car on the A9 and A96.
From Aberdeen
Turn right off the A96 onto the A941, then left onto the B9012 to Hopeman. Turn right into Harbour Street immediately after passing the garage on the left, and then follow the road straight on and turn left into the caravan park just before the harbour.
From Inverness and South
Turn left off the A96 at Forres east end roundabout onto B9089 past Kinloss Barracks for about 7 miles. After crossing the humpback bridge at Roseisle Maltings turn left at the crossroads. On the outskirts of Burghead turn left, then immediate right onto the B9012 through Cummingston, then Hopeman. Turn left into Harbour Street , follow the road down and then turn left into the caravan park just before the harbour.
There is an hourly bus service from Elgin.

This post is just for the filthy little forced bi faggots who dream of a rock hard throbbing cock in their mouths. You know who you are. If you're at the gym, you're surreptitiously staring at all the real men. Most of you have dinky dicks as well so while you're ogling the studs, you're attempting to hide your shame behind whatever you can.
I find it truly ironic that you even think you can hide it. Trust me, those alpha males you're lusting over know exactly what's on your mind. Why do you think they smirk at you? It's not JUST that you're weak… that's a given. It's not even that your girlfriend or wife gives them the same look you do, who can blame her. It's not even your clit dick, though you're not fooling anyone. It's all of the above and then some. You stink of weakness, frustration and your own semen from your constant chronic masturbation. It's so obvious, you can't fool them and you definitely can't fool me.
In honor of your awakening to the world of not so forced faggotry, this forced bi mistress gives you another fun humiliation assignment. I'm sure one of the reasons you've never went to a glory hole to worship phallus the way you desire is your total lack of skill at fellatio. So I'm going to help you out, sissy fag. I'm going to teach you exactly how to suck cock.
You'll feel like a professional when you complete a week or so of my cocksucker training. You'll have the confidence and skill to suck the largest cocks you desire. You'll learn how to tease and please the superior males you'll encounter in your new era of glory hole faggotry. Trust me, you'll appreciate it the first time you get a taste of huge black cock.
And while you're practicing your new found skills, perhaps your significant other can finally scratch her itch for cock as well. Maybe she'll cuckold you with a superior male. Why should you get to have all the fun? I'm sure she'll bring a creampie home for your greedy little tongue. She knows what a cum dumpster you are and so does the rest of the universe, sissy fag. Relax and enjoy the forced bi humiliation, the cocksucker training, the cuckolding AND the cream pie with a side order of small cock humiliation.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Hispanic warns Republicans that they definitely should 'cuidado!'
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
July 18th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Univision Anchor Jorge Ramos has been forthright with the United States GOP. While many in the Hispanic media feel that Republicans have sought to marginalize the large presence of Hispanics and Latinos in the United States, Ramos says that the GOP should definitely "cuidado," or care. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to Ramos, if all House Republicans vote "against immigration reform or boycott the process . That's enough to make your candidate lose the presidential election in the United States in 2016."In a statement written in Spanish, Ramos wrote that whether or not all Republican strategists are ready to admit it or not, anti-immigration is damaging to the Republican brand. This is especially true since the Spanish-language media so aggressively covers the immigration debate. Some conservatives maintain that there's no real political penalty in killing the Senate immigration compromise, or something similar as far as 2014. Ramos' warning shot is something that shouldn't be ignored and simply seen through the prism of "biased media." In related news, U.S. President Barack Obama conducted four interviews with Spanish-language TV anchors. It's being seen as a way to engage in the immigration debate without getting aggressively involved for now. In the interviews, the president said it "does not make sense" for any final legislation to omit a path to citizenship. "For us to have two classes of people in this country, full citizens and people who are permanently resigned to a lower status, I think that's not who we are as Americans. That's never been our tradition." The president also stated his preference for Congress to pass a comprehensive bill rather than piecemeal ones. "The danger of doing it in pieces is that, a lot of groups want different things and there's a tendency, I think, to put off the hard stuff until the end."

This news comes from my friends at GottabeMobile, it's a new… a new… well, a new subnotebook from HP. There is not any way we can call this a UMPC when it does not have a touch screen, it has a 8.9 inches display and the Specs say that its weight is… more than 5 pounds!
With prices listed from $549 – $849, there's a pretty large range of affordability. The $849 version may be an anomaly – it's listed as "Regional" and at a price higher than the Vista Business model with more RAM.

Sherlock on BBC One List Article
Actresses I could imagine playing Mary Morstan
This list was made because I was bored and not because I expect any of these to play Mary. I had to do something while waiting for season 3...
But based on apperance who fit the most? - Amanda Holden - Emilia Fox - Amanda Abbington - Deepti Daryanani - Talulah Riley - Sophie Winkleman - Emma Griffiths Malin - Michelle Ryan - Clemency Burton-Hill - Kelly Brook - Laura Donnelly - Rebecca Hall - Sophia Myles - Paloma Faith - Zoe Tapper - Sarah Smart - Jaime Winstone - Billie Piper I would love to see Michelle Ryan as Mary Morstan. She's beautiful and she can play very tough and brave roles, something Mary must be if she's going to be with John. But other than that A. Abbington would be great, she is in real life M. Freeman's girlfriend. I've changed my mind. If I could choose I would have picked Jaime Winstone or Emilia Fox! Or Billie Piper or Sophia Myles! |

Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining
» Wed Apr 29, 2009 12:10 pm
this is a fully viable tanking enchant that deserves 15 points, what tank wouldnt want a 2k+ heal every time they drop below 35% (the crucial time when every heal counts!). it has no issues stacking to full 5 stacks, proccing on normal attacks without bleeds extremely frequently.
compared to blade ward which is a tiny amount of parry (an already garbage stat), this enchant deserves the same score.
heres a little more info about it:
Some things about this enchantment so far: it has a chance to proc no matter how much health you have as it will apply this buff for if and when you fall below 35% health. It also has a 20 second duration and with no internal cooldown (so far) it'll be very easy to keep this buff up at all times. The buff itself is in the physical school which means it cannot be dispelled.
One stack: 360 to 440 healing
Two Stacks: 720 to 880 healing
Three Stacks: 1080 to 1320 healing
Four Stacks: 1440 to 1760 healing
Five Stacks: 1800 to 2200 healing
Re: Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining

I actually registered on this board to voice my agreement for this. (I was planning on posting it, but am now just going to support you.)
Tank enchant options suck. Blood Draining is easily as viable, if not more, than mongoose or blade ward. It's rather surprising it's given a "zero" rating. I mean, even if you think it's not optimal, wouldn't it at LEAST be a 12? Or so?
Kind of annoying. This enchant saved my life 4 times in Ulduar tonight.

boo @ only giving it 12 points
Re: Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining
» Fri May 01, 2009 8:26 pm
It is still only given a 12. I dont know when you have plans on making in a 15. Let me tell you WHY it should be 15.
Blade Ward:
Tank at full health. he has 100k threat above everyone els.
The buff proccs, you parry the next 10k hit. You get 13k overhealed. You are still a full health.
It inflicts 700 damage. You gain 1k aggro. That 1k you wont feel in your 100k above
Blade Ward:
Tank at full health. he has 100k threat abover everyone els.
The buff doesn't procc, you dont parry a 10k hit so you are down to 30k health. You get healed for 13k (3k overheal). Your are still at full health.
Blade Ward VS Blood Draining at 40% health:
You look at a boss that hits you for 9k-11k. You have Blade Ward. you are soo hoping for blade ward to drop but you dont decide when i proccs. you get hit for 10k and are down to 7k health. you get hit for 9k and healers didn't get a healer on you. you are dead and annoyed that your enchant didn't procc.
Same envirement as before. You have Blood Draining with 5 Stacks. You get hit by 10k and are down to 7k. you heal for 2k cus of you enchant. you get hit by 9k and have 135 health left. you get healed for 13k of all your healers at the same time. you are at full health and love your enchant.
Thats why you should choose blood draining.
Re: Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining
» Sat May 02, 2009 4:09 pm
the point is, by the time you are gonna drop to below 35% health, this enchant is already at 5 stacks. it takes 30 seconds tops for it to proc, the first stack coming on the first hit most of the time, even on ranged like heroic throw will proc it.
the point is that im not always at full health, but this enchant will keep me a lot closer to it than any other enchant, and thats worth it in my book over any percentage of a parry.
Re: Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining
» Tue May 05, 2009 2:34 pm
im still not seeing how the 15 score enchants
potency (lol 20 str?)
exceptional agility (lol 26 agi?)
accuracy (25 hit 25 crit)
blade ward (occasional 200 parry)
i mean seriously.. 20str enchant gives 15 points to a tank but blood draining that gives a 2k heal only gives 12 points? you must be joking.
Re: Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining
» Sat May 23, 2009 7:24 pm
i registered for this forum just so i could voice my agreement to the OP. this is THE survival weapon enchant for a tank, especially in progression content. look at WWS after a night of raiding, and you can really see the value it provides; it's basically like having an extra 100-200 stam (depending on the fight). and it can crit
15 points - it's annoying seeing this as a 12.
Re: Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining
» Tue May 26, 2009 11:34 am
20 Strength is the best threat enchant for a beginning Protection Paladin, though in Ulduar gear Accuracy passes it up. The bit of BV Potency provides makes it still competitive.
Exceptional Agility is comparable in survivability to Blade Ward, and may be somewhat superior. It's definitely better threat, too. Blade Ward is very lackluster for Paladins though I understand it's marginally better for Warriors.
Blood Draining is certainly worth 15 if Blade Warding is; recent theorycrafting has shown that it's far from worthless but difficult to put a number on. I seem to recall Ciderhelm prefers this enchant.
The big issue, in my opinion, is that Blade Ward is such a pathetic enchant but it is complicated enough that good players are taking it.
Please check maintankadin.com in the Gear forums for a proper analysis.
Re: Enchant Weapon - Blood Draining
» Tue May 26, 2009 10:16 pm
I also registered to say that Blood Draining should be 15 points. As others have pointed out, at the least there is legitimate disagreement over whether Blood Draining or Blade Warding is the superior tanking enchant. And, many in depth analyses (ex:
http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f97/4875 ... ining.html
) of the two come to the conclusion that Blood Draining is superior, and most of the data that suggested Blade Warding would be useful were conducted on target dummies, and therefore neglected the importance of parries clearing all proc'd stats.

First of all, glad they went with the first design. Second, it has that holiday feel that makes you can't wait for Dec 25th!
The tagline is very clever plus the layout is beautifully rendered. Jim definitely fits well above the poster similar to the 2000 advance poster for The Grinch. The only thing I didn't like about the poster is the child's face in the candle. I don't know what's the point of that. Is it supposed to be the Ghost of Christmas past or what? Overall however, it's a wonderful-looking poster that should be seen in every theater chain across the country! "Snakes! Why it had to be snakes?"
-Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
You can find the Chinese (Japanese?) poster at IMPawards!
Hey, that last one is realy great! Although I think the first official one is still the best when you think about the holiday spirit.
I saw this poster in the movie theatre 1 or 2 weeks ago. It looks amazing.
I'm looking forward to seeing this in 3D. November 6th!!
Two new posters. The first one is not finished yet.

L-glutamine Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
L-glutamine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body and also appears in many weight loss aids. L-glutamine is responsible for many functions in the body. Glutamine increases growth hormones in the body, which in turn build muscle and burn fat. Glutamine also keeps the immune system strong, strengthens neurotransmitters in the brain, and protects the liver from disease. When the body is overstressed, it loses glutamine which needs to be replaced.
Product Features
Glutamine is often marketed to body builders and professional athletes as it has been shown to play a part in muscle recovery and hydration. There have been conflicting clinical trial conclusions about its effectiveness for this purpose.
L-glutamine often appears in weight loss products due to clinical studies supporting its ability to stimulate human growth hormone in the body. Some products on the market also suggest that L-glutamine can suppress carbohydrate cravings although there does not appear to be scientific support for this claim.
Weight loss products that contain L-glutamine should be examined carefully to assess the L-glutamine content. The referenced studies were conducted using certain levels of L-glutamine. Because the FDA does not regulate weight loss products, there are many on the market today that contain only a trace amount of the substance. This is not enough to be effective in stimulating human growth hormone- or even none at all.
L-glutamine can be purchased as an ingredient in a weight loss formulation or by itself as a white powder. The powder can be mixed with water or juice and is usually taken 2-3 teaspoons twice per day.
While L-glutamine appears to have no serious side-effects, some people may be sensitive to it. If taking the straight L-glutamine powder, users may wish to start at half the recommended dosage until their bodies adjust. Then, the dosage can be increased slowly over the course of a few weeks until the full dosage is achieved.
- Has been shown to stimulate growth hormone which may be able to assist in weight
- loss. Is readily available through nutritional supplement stores or through online resources.
L-glutamine's effectiveness for weight loss purposes. - Difficult to assess the required dose for effective stimulation of growth hormone.
- Not specifically designed as a weight loss aid.
While L-glutamine shows promise for replenishing the body's natural supply and thereby improving immune functions, there simply does not appear to be enough evidence that it can be an effective weapon in the fight against obesity. Fortunately, there are products on the market today that have clinical studies backing their efficacy. The best manufacturers stand behind their products with a money-back guarantee which not only helps the consumer buy with confidence but which also shows that the manufacturer believes in their product.

Being Brooke - Page 2
By Jenny Allen
Special Offers
Brooke was raised by her tough cookie of a mom, whose marriage to Frank Shields lasted less than a year. Brooke's dad (who died seven years ago, of pancreatic cancer) came from a privileged, educated family; Teri, as Brooke says, was "scrappy, a street fighter." Frank might have walked away from Teri, but he left her with a treasure: Beautiful baby Brooke was Teri's consolation, her joy, her obsession. She showered her with toys and clothes, took her to Broadway shows, gave her piano and ballet and riding lessons.
Above all, Teri kept Brooke close very close. Teri made all the decisions, beginning when she started Brooke modeling at 11 months, in an Ivory Soap commercial. Teri chose the sexualized roles that made Brooke famous, and that made many uncomfortable the controversial Pretty Baby, in which the 12-year-old played a prostitute; the overtly sexual The Blue Lagoon and Endless Love. (Brooke was also photographed nude, and heavily made up, at age 10, in an image that last year caused the shutdown of an exhibit at London's famed Tate Modern museum as cries of child pornography were raised.) And, of course, there were the famous and infamous "Want to know what gets between me and my Calvins? Nothing" jeans commercials. And while Teri presented the world with countless images of this alluring child/woman, her real girl was under strict observation: Teri scrutinized Brooke's manners, forbade swearing, kept her to a 10 p.m. curfew.
And, throughout Brooke's childhood, Teri drank. And when she drank, she could be dangerous; tales of Teri's erratic behavior and her explosions circulated. She got sober when Brooke threatened to move in with her father if Teri didn't change her ways. But Teri would take up drinking again, off and on, over the years.
Brooke had, it almost goes without saying, a lot on her mind. "As the classic child of an alcoholic, I was the caretaker," she says now. That, and the peculiar spotlight of fame, made her situation "freakish," she offers frankly. "I should have been a disaster," she says.
And yet here she is, with her easy smile; her sharp, self-deprecating sense of humor; and her life and career that she's "passionate" about. So why isn't she a disaster? Her best guess is that both of her parents had an innate "integrity." "The respect I had for her made me want to behave," she says generously of Teri. "That, and my own character. I have to give myself that, and I'm starting to."
After graduating from Princeton, Brooke knew she wanted more than the career she'd had. "I thought, I've got to raise my game." She turned down movie parts offered to her that would have perpetuated her sexy/sweetheart persona. "The old me felt creepy," she says, "and I didn't want to be it anymore." She immersed herself in acting and dancing lessons; she trained her singing voice. She auditioned for, and got, the role of Rizzo in the Broadway revival of Grease and braced herself for snarky critics who might take pleasure in watching the 29-year-old stage newbie fall on her face. "Everybody thought I would suck," she says with a smile. "I thought, If I get slaughtered, I will cry, it will be horrible, but I'll have taken another step. And I tried not to think about whether I was talented or not I still don't like to think about whether I have any real talent," she says with a laugh. "What I did know was hard work."
Her hard work paid off Brooke got glowing reviews for Grease. "I never really turned back," she says. Other Broadway roles followed, as did Suddenly Susan, the popular sitcom that ran for four seasons and won its star two Golden Globe nominations.
Next: Brooke opens up about how she broke free from her controlling mother.

The Transfer Assembly Project is the longest-standing study focusing on statewide measures of community college-baccalaureate transfer. Between 1989 and 1997 the project collected data on transfer rates using the following measure: the transfer rate is the percentage of all first-time community college students who complete at least 12 units at that college and who take at least one class at a public in-state university within four years of leaving the community college.
Data were collected from individual institutions within a state, sometimes through the statewide agency, and were aggregated into statewide rates, which were subsequently re-aggregated into annual national transfer rates. Because of confidentiality agreements, data were not published for individual institutions or for the states. Analyses of the changes in the rates, however, indicated that there are larger disparities in transfer rates between institutions within states than there are between states.
The Transfer Assembly Project was supported by grants from the Ford Foundation.

Mother Mary- Springtime NYC
Someone placed a bouquet in the crook of her arm. Today's post remembers friend and poet Christina Murdock who passed one year ago today, a week short of her thirtieth birthday.

Jordan Lynch, the quarterback of the Northern Illinois Huskies, doesn't think very highly of FSU's defense. His series of quotes are rather priceless where he ripped on the the Florida State defense pretty hard.
Jordan Lynch on FSU's defense: "They're fast. They're physical. But they haven't seen anything like our offense."

Jordan Lynch on FSU's defense: "We plan on wearing them down. In the fourth quarter, we plan to have them on their knees."

Jordan Lynch on FSU: "They're just like us. … If you cut them, they bleed."

Their head coach also jumped in!
And NIU coach Rod Carey on FSU's supposed speed edge: "Our 11 vs. their 11, we feel like we've got good team speed. … We'll be fine."

Darin told Di Dia he would buy the car if he ever "hit it big." He did and bought the car for $150,000 (1.5 million today) in 1961. The car is powered by a 427 high-performance Ford engine with a 125-inch wheelbase. Its metallic red paint was made with 30 coats of ground diamonds for sparkle. Darin donated the car to the St. Louis Museum of Transportation in 1970 where it remains.

Oh, the familiar shame: Miami sports fans again dissed, this time for being too sober
Westword, our sister paper in Denver, apparently has a lot of time on its hands as it recovers from that city's DNC hangover. Only that could explain their "Cities with the Drunkest Football Fans Tournament" -- which may be the most exhaustive collection of YouTube videos of hammered, burly, incoherently angry men in $60 jerseys ever compiled.
Once again, the Dolphins didn't make the playoffs. Once again, we're experiencing that oh-so-familiar feeling: disappointment but not surprise.
Dolphins' fans do share a division with Bills' fans- and one sober minute in Buffalo will shrink your soul like a raisin. But, come on, Dolphin Stadium's trash cans have been filled with their share of regurgitated Bud Light- the few fans that do attend are certainly not filing into that gulag for the quality football.
Maybe we're just not good at documenting our blitzedness. Following Westword's genius formula of typing "hammered", "fan" and "INSERT TEAM HERE" into YouTube, we only got one legit entry, and it likely doesn't even meet the tournament's regulations- ours is of a Miami ambassador of unruly solo smashedness being tossed from the Washington Redskins' stadium. An aside: maybe it's the solidarity talking, but does the whole bicycle-helmets-while-patrolling-on-foot thing not make Fedex Field cops look like mildly retarded children?
Of course, only judging Miami's football-related drunkenness by Dolphins' fans is sort of like judging Michael Jordan's athleticism only by by his baseball career. As any Sugar Bowl romantic can tell you in between gulps from his green-and-orange beer bong, University of Miami football attracts and breeds some of this nation's finest drunks. That's just how Sigma Chi does, bro:

Band: Korn
Gear: SVT-810E
Website: www.korn.com/site.php
Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu is a founding member of the metal band, Korn. The only left-handed person in the band, Fieldy plays the bass right-handed, characterized by his hip-hop influenced styles of double-popping, palm muting and slapping.
Chosen bassist of the year in the Metal Hammer's 2005 Readers Poll, Fieldy and Korn are said to have inspired the flood of nu-metal/rap metal bands in the mid '90s and early 2000s (Fieldy is also credited as discovering multi-platinum rap metal thrashers, Limp Bizkit). Since 1994, Korn have sold over 25 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling metal acts of the last twelve years.
Fieldy released a solo album in 2002 called Rock 'N Roll Gangster, assembled a rap side project called Fieldy's Dreams, and is currently working on his second solo effort.
