Saguna Silicol Skin
100ml £ 14.29
share: |
Tweet |
Silicol Skin and Cleansing: Silicol Skin is not only for those suffering with acne, it is also a great revitalising deep cleansing mask, which effectively absorbs excess oil, bacteria and other impurities leaving the skin visibly fresher and brighter. In addition, the slight lifting and tightening effect, as the gel dries on the skin, temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Silicol Skin is ideal for those with slightly oily skin. The facemask can be used daily over the T-zone and weekly for really deep cleansing.

We visited Tokyo Diner with a group of 9 teenagers and 4 adults at 9PM on a Sunday. We all had hibachi (steak, chicken, shrimp in various combinations) and it was very good. Service was attentive.

We came for dinner late on Friday and were eating within a very short time. The place was somewhat empty but we arrived late, almost 8:30p.m. All staff was very nice and attentive. I must say we(my friends) go to all different Japanese places to eat BUT have decided that this is the best for Hibachi. Its great. We visit... More
Tokyo diner has great sushi. i've ordered out a few times but i finally went to sit at their sushi bar. The one thing i couldnt' get over is that there's a koi pond built into the bar. It's cool to watch the fish, but i noticed their "fountain" in the center was spraying drops of dirty fish water all... More
Best Sushi we have found in Lancaster. We always do carry-out. they always say that it'll be ready in "20 minutes". I usually get there within 15 minutes of calling and it's always sitting by the register waiting on me. So in short, they have as good of sushi as you will find around here and they are very fast.
I have been to Tokyo Diner several times and always ordered the hibachi (and sometimes sushi as well) and the experience was always great. The gentlemen who prepare the hibachi are always very polite and entertaining. However, when we finally realized that Tokyo Diner offered an All-you-can-eat sushi we rushed there to try. The sushi quality was great - I... More
My wife and I have gone multiple times now and always get a good meal for a good price. They have great chefs who never overcook or over-sauce anything. Soup is OK, salad is pretty good. My wife loves their sushi. Definitely recommend for people looking for a good hibachi place near Lancaster. Best one around by far.
We visited this place recently for a birthday celebration & had a great time! The staff was friendly & helpful, the cooks were very entertaining & the food superb. Highly recommend this place with a large group of friends to enjoy. The food selections were many, the portions large & the flavor excellent! So for your next group gathering, give... More
Third time here for dinner, come every year. Never disappointed, our rolls were delicious and the hibachi was excellent. I saw the reviews, maybe a bad night but so far so good, we keep coming back. I don't go out to eat and worry if a place is slightly dated, as long as its clean, and the food is good,... More
Myself and a co-worker had dinner at the Tokyo Diner on a recent business trip to Lancaster. The sushi was okay, but nothing special. The miso was good, but the salad was very watery like it had been in the refrigerator for some time. The restaurant appeared outdated, and smelled like fried food. The service was just okay.

Sivir is really hard to beat bot -_- Least as my normal picks(Ryze, Maokai)
Truly OP in Dom? Tank Soraka, AP Poppy, Pantheon, Warwick, Yorick, Wukong, Maokai, AP Shaco, Cassiopeia, Ezreal, Leonam Zilean. That's about it, most of them have the ability to either burst you down in very very short order, or have the capacity to make you stay put in place for their team to get rid of you instantly.
Contrary to what the spelling may suggest, on Dominion Win Nhao actually refers to Karthus. I say this as and avid Karthus player; if I'm on a losing streak and I want to change that, Promote/Revive Karthus bot almost always does the trick.
I was just up against Revive Promote Yorick. The most broken **** ever.
qa analyst
Malzahar is possibly the best bot in Dom. Never run out of mana with E, his voidling helps push, Q to bush check for those pesky bush campers, and he can combo someone from 100% to 0 easily post 6. Champs in gerenal: Kogmaw is just rediculous always, Poppy is extremely resilient with alot of burst, Blitzcrank is crazy good since he can end point sieges with his grab easily, Leblanc has so much utility and burst she can usually kill before being touched. Thats just off the top of my head.

Mike for Model Number MAT12PDBAW
Answer Hello Mike, There are separate circuits for the hot and cold valves so the answer to your question is yes. If the screens are clear and not blocked by sedimentation and mineral deposits from the water supply, the cold valve side of the water valve assembly 22001604 has most likely failed.
Was this helpful?
Brendon for Model Number MAT12PDAGW
Answer Hello Brendon. According to the model number you provided, 22001604 is the correct water valve. However, it is stamped on the valve that it is 120 volts. Hope this helps.

Anderson up for the fight
Swing king looking to win pace battle with Proteas
By Joe Drabble - Twitter: @SkySportsDrabs. Last Updated: 17/07/12 2:22pm
England pace bowler James Anderson insists he and his team-mates are raring to go as they prepare for the "huge challenge" of retaining the world No.1 Test ranking against South Africa.
The battle for top spot in the ICC Test rankings begins at The Kia Oval on Thursday with England also eyeing revenge having lost to the Proteas the last time the two sides met on these shores back in 2008.
Speaking ahead of the opening Test, Anderson, who helped England steamroll the West Indies earlier this summer, admits he is relishing the challenge of testing himself against the best in the world.
He said: "It is going to be a huge challenge for us. The last couple of times South Africa have been over here they have played really well and beaten us. So we are looking forward to it.
"We like testing ourselves against the best in the world. There are four of their guys (batsmen) in the top 10 so it should be a good challenge for us.
"The basics stay the same. You try and hit the top of off stump. That stays pretty standard whoever you play against. I think South Africa soak up pressure better than anyone else in the world so we might have to be more patient than we have been in recent series. That is going to be our biggest Test I think."
One of the main factors behind England's rise to the top of the rankings has been their formidable pace attack.
However South Africa's pace artillerly is equally destructive, with Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander all expected to pose England's batsmen plenty of problems during the three-Test series.
ENGLAND v SOUTH AFRICA
Watch the top two Test nations go head-to-head on Sky Sports HD throughout the summer and keep on top of all the action on skysports.com via our interactive match blog from inside the Sky Sports commentary box - with expert analysis from Beefy, Bumble and the rest of the team.
Anderson added: "Both bowling attacks have shown over the past 18 months that we are strong units and I think it will be a good battle.
"They played really well over here last time. We know they are going to be strong in our conditions with both bat and ball so we are going to have to be on top form on Thursday.
"I have felt in good rhythm with the ball. I hope that can continue in this series. I think it is going to be really important that our attack is on top form because their batting unit is really strong.
"I am feeling pretty good. We are nice and fresh and raring to go."

1Prepare to make the least amount of mess possible. Wear clothing you don't mind getting messy ŌĆō facial masks can stain clothes. Apply the mask in the bathroom so that any mess can be cleaned up easily. Use hair clips or a hair band to keep hair away from the face.Ad
2Wash the face with a cleanser. This is important, as any makeup, dirt, and oil can prevent getting all the benefits the mask was intended for. Open up pores by washing with warm water.
3Steam the face to open pores. Pour boiling water into a large bowl and stand near it. Drape a large towel around your head to trap the rising steam. Another method to open the pores is by soaking a washcloth in warm water and putting it directly on the face. Do either method for 5 minutes. Dry your face after.
4Apply the facial mask. Empty the mask into a bowl and using clean hands, pat it onto the face. Be careful to avoid the eyes and lips. Wash hands after there is none left in the bowl.
5Wait and relax. Leave the mask on for however long the package says. If it is homemade or doesnŌĆÖt specify, leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
6Remove the facial mask. Wash it off using warm water; be sure all of it is removed. Close pores by splashing the face with cold water.
We could really use your help!
MRI machines?
- Do not apply the mask too thickly, or it will not dry.
- Use a good moisturiser after these steps are complete.
- Remove the mask immediately with warm water if it gets in your eyes or your face is itchy.
- Do not get the mask in your mouth.
- Do not talk, move your face, or pick at the mask with your fingers, as it will crack the mask.
- Do not scrub your face, rub it.

Now that the 2013 ALMS race season is in the history books (along with the ALMS series itself), attention is turning to the combined United Sports Car Racing Series which will kick off in January at the Rolex Daytona 24 hour race. Corvette Racing will be featuring the racing debut of the C7.R and thanks to our friends over at MotorAuthority.com, we may have a first look at the new racing livery the 7th generation race cars will be wearing.
Rumors & Innuendo
Our friends over at CorvetteOnline.com revealed a picture yesterday of what is most likely to be the engine that will be going into the successor of the C6 Z06, the C7 Corvette Z07.
New spy photos published today by Autoweek appears to reveal many new details regarding the highly anticipated 2015 Corvette Z07. The Corvette in the photos are well covered in camouflaged fabric, but we were still able to catch a glimpse of the how the new front end might look as well as the rear brake cooling ducts. Plus, this Corvette has some really big brakes!
Chevrolet Europe posted a tweet on Friday about the 2014 Corvette Stingray undergoing suspension testing on the wet track at the Nurburgring. We looked at the photo and then enlarged it for a better view. Low and behold, there's a GoPro HD Camera mounted low and behind the driver's front tire!
After yesterday's spy photos of the 2015/2016 Corvette Z07 from Autoblog, we did some hunting to see if we could turn up any accurate renderings of the next generation high performance Corvette model and it looks like this Arctic White render from TopSpeed might have nailed it.
Over the last two weeks we've seen a couple videos of the 2014 Corvette Stingray working out on the Nurburgring. One of our posts on Facebook wondered aloud if GM vehicle dynamics engineer and Corvette Track Rat Jim Mero was in Germany. Based on these photos from Chevrolet Europe, we believe the answer is yes.
Autoblog has a gallery of spy photos from the guys at KGP Photography that appear to show a camouflaged Corvette Z07 Convertible prototype undergoing testing at an unnamed facility. The Corvette is well covered with both the white/black swirls on the body and the blanket-covers that we remember well from the testing of the Corvette Stingray in 2012. However, there are some visual clues that do lead us to believe this is the high performance version of the C7 Corvette.
Here's a welcomed sight through the fence at the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green. Two rows of 2014 Corvette Stingray convertibles in various colors all lined up and looking ready for some sunshine.
The internet's abuzz tonight after a video has surfaced showing a Laguna Blue 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 testing on the famous Nurburgring. The Corvette is shown making some fast runs through several turns with a helmeted driver and a co-pilot. Could it be that GM Engineers are doing some testing in Germany?

The Death of Chrysippus, 206 BC,
One of the great Greek philosophers of the Classical Age, Chrysippus was responsible for making Stoicism the most popular philosophy in the Hellenistic and later Roman world. He also contributed much to the fields of mathematics, logic, physics, ethics, and theology.
Today, however, it is not his life that is well remembered, but his death. Chrysippus had the weird hobby of feeding wine to his donkey and watching the various antics of the drunken animal for entertainment. Remember this was an age long before the invention of TV and the internet. One day he was enjoying his favorite form of entertainment when the drunk donkey tried to eat some figs from a fig tree. Chrysippus was so bemused by the donkey that he fell into a hysterical fit of laughter, eventually keeling over due to asphyxiation or heart failure.

The very first eyeshadow base that I have. I don't really play make up for eyes, so this product just seems ok to me. Also, I wear it only for special ocassion when I need eye make up.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Very Dry, Tan, Not Sure

Loved this. Think of it as a concentrated "milk" jumbo eye pencil. Needs to be blended well creates a smooth surface for eyeshadow. I was so sad when I hit pan on this.

Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine

I love the idea of this primer. But this is an absolute FAIL by NYX. I gave it several tries, and even combined a mixture of other primers I own to see if it would help, but it is hopeless. The bright white base of it makes my eyeshadows pop like crazy, at first. Especially my NAKED and NAKED 3 palette by Urban Decay. It looks stunning for about 3 hours, and then it gets oily and creases horribly. My eyelids aren't even particularly oily, so I can imagine how horrible it would work on someone with oily eyelids. It's like the white base turns into oil; the brightness completely gone, and the shadow that's left is gone, or found it's way to my crease, making an oily line across my eyelids. I would advise everyone to avoid this. Though it was cheap, it was still a waste of money.

Love using white to brighten colors just as much as the next gal, but this was crease city on me. Boo.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other

This stuff works really well. I skip primer and use this straight away and it definitely does the job. Plus, it's a mere $7, which is great!!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Medium Brown, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I don't even know why I got this it was just there and I was like okay. Anyways it isn't all that I prefer the jumbo pencil. I don't think this is meant to be a primer. It's not bad as a base but because it's glittery it shows under my eyeshadow so I use it when I'm using really bright and glittery eyeshadow so it just blends with. You don't need much so it'll last long but I won't be repurchasing this product there's better stuff out there.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

At first i really liked this product. But after using it for sometime i noticed that there are little patch of eyeshadow and it doesnt last all dayy :(
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

This was patchy and dry on my eyelids. Made my eyeshadows look patchy too. And I dont like the packaging.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
I love this product it has made my shadows look even more polished and vibrant. I think the key with this for me is I use my Fergie primer first and let that set. Then I use a Mac 474 I believe which I had from the Mac paint tubes. Well that brush is perfect for this! I apply some to the brush and only put the white base on the lid and by the corners of my eyes. I don't use it in my crease because it is fine with the primer it is the lid shades that I want super vibrant.
I do my crease first then my lid and brow bone. This base holds my shadows perfectly all day till I wash it off at night. You only need a small amount as well. it never feels cakey or heavy when I do it like this. I personally love the white base because it adhears better than the MIlk pencil. And it doesn't crease at all! I especially like this when I'm going out because I don't have to retouch at all. Love this! Recommended!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Medium Brown, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
For some reason, this isnt the same formula as the Milk Jumbo Pencil. It has a terrible smell (almost like Comet) and even with a primer I found it creases. I like the Jumbo Pencil better, Id definitely recommend that instead of the jar version.

If you've flown recently, you've witnessed cutbacks by airlines. Passengers now pay for perks that used to be free, and record-high fuel prices have also forced airlines to eliminate flights on unprofitable routes. Still, the companies are looking for more ways to save money. As we hear from Jim Burress, of member station WABE, that means a new opportunity for a plane from the past.
JIM BURRESS, BYLINE: On a typical day at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the plane train ferries some 200,000 travelers between terminals.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Welcome aboard the plane train.
BURRESS: One of those passengers is Rebecca Hamilton. She's on her way home to Florida.
REBECCA HAMILTON: If I can do it economically, I fly out of Gainesville.
BURRESS: Often, she finds that affordable ticket on Delta Air Lines. Hamilton knows that always means two things: a connection through Atlanta and at least part of her trip will be on a smaller, regional jet. But that's changing.
BURRESS: Tonight, she's a bit surprised to board a plane branded Silver Airways, and it's not a regional jet. It has propellers - something she's not seen in decades.
HAMILTON: Or mostly, I remember what other people say, is that it's bouncier and that it's more turbulent and that your stomach whooshes into your, you know, a little more often. But quite frankly, it takes a lot to make me feel scared, and I just don't really mind it.
BURRESS: Outside, the propeller blades create a rhythmic ruckus as they chop through the air.
BURRESS: Inside, only a faint drone.
BURRESS: And 90 minutes later, Rebecca Hamilton is on the ground in Gainesville, ready for her short drive home. The airplane she came in on is also home.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Sixty PSI, what they should be.
BURRESS: Thirty-four-seat turboprops make up the entire Silver fleet. And each night at its 60,000-square-foot maintenance hangar at Gainesville's airport, crews check tires, landing gear and dozens of other components. Night maintenance supervisor Justin Hernandez is about to sign off on what looks like a new plane.
JUSTIN HERNANDEZ: Well, right now, to the left, aircraft 352, that's our latest. Its aircraft name is limitless. It just got here from conformity check.
BURRESS: That's the last step before rotating into the Silver fleet. Regional carrier Mesaba once flew this plane, first with Northwest Airlines' colors, and more recently, Delta's. Matthew Holiday is a vice president at Silver. He says the carrier doesn't try to hide its turboprop fleet; it embraces it, right down to the logo, which mimics a spinning propeller.
MATTHEW HOLIDAY: We want to be clear in our messaging to consumers that this is a turboprop, but it's not a bad thing.
BURRESS: Through the '90s and 2000s, airlines replaced turboprops with faster regional jets. Jet fuel was about 87 cents a gallon. Now, it's four times that much. Since turboprops use less fuel, flying one instead of a jet often means a profit instead of a loss. So expect to see more, says Regional Airline Association President Roger Cohen.
ROGER COHEN: After a steady decline in the ratio of turboprops to jets in the regional fleet, we've just seen here over the last year, year and a half, the first time that line started to move in the other direction.
BURRESS: The FAA forecasts regional jets with fewer than 40 seats will disappear from fleets by 2015. This, as reliance on larger turboprop aircraft doubles in the next decade. And with new technology that cancels most noise and vibration, they won't be your grandfather's turboprop. For NPR News, I'm Jim Burress in Atlanta.

If Blizzard were to balance classes around 95% of the playerbase, all specs would be a 1 button rotation with no special resource to manage. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to play that game even if I didn't have 13/13 HC.
If Blizzard were to balance classes around 95% of the playerbase, all specs would be a 1 button rotation with no special resource to manage. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to play that game even if I didn't have 13/13 HC.
They actually buffed it, but most people just don't see it. The RPPM nerf was a straight out nerf to Caster Meta uptime, so melees (including hunters) didn't lose anything from this meta.
As i did some simming, i saw big losers from the nerfs:
Fire mages 15%
Enhancer 13%
Destro 12%
Elemental 11%
Shadow 10%
Affli 10%
Balanace 9%
Hunter 4%
Rogues 0%
This is what happened. I didn't test every specc so far.
You didn't get a "+x% damage to ability X", but nearly everyone else got nerfed more than you. Of course this tests were done without reforging except for enhancers, we might see some of those speccs losing less because of regemming/reforging. I actually don't know how much those speccs gain via optimizing gear or specs. I suspect that so many dk buffs lead to them having a clear buff, but i don't know.
Those numbers are complete bullshit, though. Hunters, 4% damage loss? Remember that we got "buffed" with arcane shot (/main-shot buff) + stampede (supposed to be an overall buff even with the removal of readiness). Yet in BiS gear, I lose 15K out of 230K dps. Thats not 4% - thats 6.5%. And that is from a "neutral" level. As we were "buffed" with the new figures, that means that our loss is atleast around 10%, just like the other casters are.
Make no mistake - sure, your caster meta values are going down as a direct effect of the RPPM nerf. But hunters have both Rapid Fire and Focus Fire directly affecting the RPPM atm too, which is a far bigger amount of haste and uptime than your meta. It makes no sense that it would be a bigger loss for casters than for us in that regard.
at this point, who really cares anymore, im exhausted from trying to get any buffs that are significant, im just going to min/max my dps and /wait.
I think he refers to the double nerf to the caster meta. Nerf in uptime, as the meta itself will procc less since it is affected by the RPPM change. And nerf to all other RPPM effects, that were boosted by the metagem haste. Tho FF and RF had still bigger impact in RPPM.
I really do think Blizz wants us mid/low Dps to cut down our representation. That's the heart of the problem here. If the hunter population pool continues to be high compared to other classes, then those other classes will get attention. Just look at locks for example. Certainly in ToT they made it essential for pretty much every encounter to bring a lock. Perhaps by putting us in a shit spot Blizz think they will cull the hunter population but I think they are sadly mistaken. Hunter population will continue to be high due to alts, soloing, PvP and so forth and aslong as that continues Blizz will just *shrugg* and say, " Well many people are still playing hunters so hunters are fine, lets focus on the classes lowly populated". I'm stumped to find a solution to this as it fucks it up for those who have 13/13 hc like myself and want to be competitive at high end raiding.
the problem is that they can't cut down population that way. Hunter is popular because it is the more noob friendly class and performs very well compared to the rest of the casters on lower gear. for the majority of the playerbase hunters are great, not only fine. In the average 12/12 normal guild hunters are beating locks and mages easy. Also there's no way to buff hunters so they can be competitive in cutting edge raiding without buffing them also in the lower gear levels. anyway you buff hunters in their current design, you will be buffing them all across the board, and suddenly they will be competitive on high end, but terribly OP on the low end, were the majority of the playerbase is.
Also if it would be the case that blizzard says "ok, lets put hunters on line with the rest of pures" that can't simply be achieved by number tuning. If they try to balance us in a way that we are on par or even a bit superior on raw damage (ST fight, sim type) we will be utter crap on any AoE/multidot scenario. If blizzard decides to bring us on par with casters on AoE/multidot bosses, they would need to buff A LOT some spells that we already use on ST, making us too high on ST fights also. The only room they have to buff us on multidot is BA and SrS, and they have been reluctant to remove the CD from BA for the whole expansion.
So in the end, there's no way under the current design to balance us all across the board without screwing the top or the bottom. So while hunters are doing good for the majority, there will be no balance.Also as long as hunters are that easy to play and perform good enoguh, there will be a lot. The same way they reworked locks to increase its population, they should rework hunters to DECREASE it, giving hunters unique specs and increasing the skill cap a lot, while updating it's mechanics to the current raids design. That way a lot of those that have hunters just for the sake of playing legolas would be on even ground with mages, locks, sps or boomkins, and playing their class because they like it as a whole, not because it resembles something they saw on TV.
I agree with what you are saying, hunters do need a revamp although skill cap of hunters right now depends on the player. The problem is an average hunter can do decent Dps, a good hunter can do just a little more, this is down to the design of the class with so much damage coming from autoshots and white pet melee hits. To play a hunter properly does require a high skill cap, it's not as rewarding as say other classes, that's the problem. I'm also talking about the "now", I agree we need a revamp but that won't come till 6.0, till then it would be nice for high end hunters to be able to compete with other classes. Sadly I feel we are getting the DS treatment all over again.
They balance around both average and elite skill levels. Average players can do good dps, sometimes great dps by doing the priorities correctly. Excellent players will coordinate cooldown, trinket and potion usage together for the maximum possible DPS.
If I forgot to refresh serpent sting during a proc/pot usage and it caused my DPS to be less than a tank then the class would be broken. The balance is allowing me to earn that extra DPS if I have the skill to do so.
Exactly. The problems were even graver in the last addons, with fixed AP values instead of %-based ones.
- Begin of Cataclysm: SV was just better than everything else in dungeon blues. Even with some raidgear it was still ahead. But with ful nh gear it was already on par with many other classes - still it was nerfed, because at that time not that many players had that gear. Which made it quite weak compared to other classes (I'd say still competitive though).
- Begin of Wrath: Naxx trash volley anyone? And for hard bosses (e.g. Sarth3d) you could go BM for dual BW. Both got nerfed / fixed quite fast, because in average gear it was too strong. And then, at Anub (ToC), they had to buff volley again because the scaling was just bad compared to other classes.
My point: As long as they don't fix the scaling across the board, there will always be some classes worse for progression. As a bad scaling class, hunters will be there, and that won't change - till they fix the scaling, or till they're ok with the average hunter doing more dps than the average *insert good scaling class here*.
And I think that differences in scaling outweigh the differences in player skill - on average. Means, that I don't think that bad a bad hunter does only 60% of his dps, but a bad warlock (in player skill both equal) does only 40% because of the "harder" class.
Just simmed T15 hc hunter BIS for PTR and Live on current PTR build. Didn't do any optimization.
I just simmed your character and it dropped from 235400 to 235000 DPS (Survival).
I believe some hunters do not understand that not getting nerfed + every one getting a 10-15% nerf is a buff at least compared to all other ranged.
And that's why hunters are so strong in PTR testing and this is why hunters can't get buffs. They would be completely unjustified currently.

It isn't hard to come close to max potential on any class if you've been playing the game long enough once you're used to a fight's mechanics. It is hard however to find 10 to 25 people who are all maxing their potential on their character and get them to all work together well enough to clear heroic modes.

Way more than 5% of the wow raider population are heroic raiders. Wowprogress shows around 17% of the guilds who've downed a boss in ToT have downed Heroic Iron Qon. That's 17% of the raider population who is at least 4/13 or 5/13 heroic.
That's how it looks in LFR TOT. They just can't ignore those raidsizes as there are far more LFR Raiders than Highend Raiders.
I agree that changes would be good, but they would have to come at the costs of more difficult gameplay. As long as "bad" hunters perform sooooo good, buffs aren't fair to everyone else.

That's now, after getting cloaks and being totally overgeared.
And it's now like hunters suck in heroic raiding. They just aren't too strong either.

http://femaledwarf.com/ use that instead of the inaccurate garbage that is the simulationcraft tool for hunters. For me in current gear, it shows:
This is AFTER the fact that we were supposed to be buffed - instead, we are facing a 13K nerf while we were already horrible DPS-wise. Everyone else also got nerfed through RPPM changes, but they in turn got buffed otherwise (For example, DKs, shadow priests, warriors, rogues etc) or were already incredible overpowered to start with and did not NEED further compensation (For example, Mage, Warlock).
Note that the 4.7% loss is also with current gear, not calculating the new tier set, which was only worth a damn because of the fact that rapid fire was "real" haste, and thus increased our RPPM chance. It is now garbage compared to pretty much anything else, as it has been nerfed over and over again (started on 12 sec per arcane shot) because of it.
As for Surv, I am logged off in that spec because I have only done Meg this week and I cba with pet pathing fuck ups. But hey, shits n giggles, simulating Surv with FD:
232K DPS on live, 226K on PTR (or a 2.5% nerf). As you can see, Surv is affected a whole lot less than BM by the RPPM nerf - because surv does not have focus fire to enhance the proc chances of RPPM items. But its not the laughable 400 DPS you are getting as a result.
Either way, Surv doesnt even matter. Post-patch BM is the same strength as current-level Surv, so we will be sticking to BM to maximize what little damage we do, either way.
Meanwhile, guildy is telling me that his rogue is simulating at almost 270K in current gear with PTR changes.

Federal Contracts and Grants:
Agencies Have Taken Steps to Improve Suspension and Debarment Programs
GAO-14-513: Published: May 21, 2014. Publicly Released: May 21, 2014.

What GAO Found
The six agencies GAO reviewed all took action to incorporate characteristics associated with active suspension and debarment programs. Since GAO made recommendations to do so in 2011, the agencies have addressed staffing issues through actions such as defining roles and responsibilities, adding positions, and consolidating suspension and debarment functions. The agencies also have issued formal policies and promulgated detailed guidance. Finally, the agencies have engaged in practices that encourage an active referral process, such as establishing positions to ensure cases are referred for possible action, and developing case management tools.
The number of suspension and debarment actions government-wide has more than doubled from 1,836 in fiscal year 2009 to 4,812 in fiscal year 2013. The number of suspension and debarment actions for the six agencies increased from 19 in fiscal year 2009 to 271 in fiscal year 2013 (see table below). The six agencies generally experienced a notable increase starting in fiscal year 2011 when the agencies began to take action to incorporate the characteristics associated with active suspension and debarment programs.

Source: GAO presentation of agency data reported to the Interagency Suspension and Debarment Committee.
Note: Total number of suspension and debarment actions includes procurement and nonprocurement-related suspensions, proposed debarments, and debarments.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Interagency Suspension and Debarment Committee (ISDC) have taken action to strengthen government-wide suspension and debarment efforts. In November 2011, OMB directed agencies to address weaknesses and reinforce best practices in their suspension and debarment programs. The ISDC reported to Congress in September 2012 that, per OMB direction, the 24 standing member agencies of the ISDC had
- an accountable official in place responsible for suspension and debarment;
- taken steps to address resources, policies, or both; and
- procedures to forward matters to the suspension and debarment official for possible action.
The ISDC has promoted best practices, coordinated mentoring and training, and helped coordinate lead agency responsibility when multiple agencies have an interest in pursuing suspension and debarment of the same entity. Reported increases in the number of suspension or debarment actions suggest that its efforts have been effective. ISDC officials emphasized that increased activity has been coupled with an increased capability to use suspension and debarment appropriately while adhering to the principles of fairness and due process.
Why GAO Did This Study
To protect the government's interests, agencies can use suspension and debarment to exclude individuals, contractors, and grantees from receiving future contracts, grants, and other federal assistance due to various types of misconduct. In 2011, GAO reviewed ten agencies and found that agencies issuing the most procurement related suspensions and debarments shared common characteristics: dedicated staff, detailed policies and procedures, and an active referral process. GAO recommended that six agencies—the Departments of Commerce, Health and Human Services, Justice, State, the Treasury, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency—incorporate those characteristics, and that OMB issue guidance to improve oversight and government-wide suspension and debarment efforts.
GAO was asked to review actions taken to implement the 2011 recommendations. This report examines (1) actions taken by the six agencies to incorporate characteristics of active suspension and debarment programs; (2) changes in the level of suspension and debarment activity; and (3) actions taken to improve oversight and government-wide efforts. To do so, GAO reviewed suspension and debarment programs, interviewed agency officials, verified the accuracy of agency data, and reviewed government-wide efforts.
GAO is not making any new recommendations in this report. OMB commented that it is pleased with the progress that agencies have made and with the work of the ISDC.The other agencies did not provide substantive comments.

Shepherd, B. and Pattinson, J.S. (2010) War in a Twilight World : Partisan and Anti-Partisan Warfare in Eastern Europe, 1939-45. Palgrave. ISBN 9780230575691
Full text not available in this repository.Abstract
Across German-occupied Europe during World War Two, it was the population of eastern Europe which suffered most. A far-reaching effect was the emergence of widespread, ferocious partisan warfare, the legacy of which still resonates in the countries affected. This book assembles cutting-edge case studies by established and emerging academics to examine both partisan and anti-partisan warfare in different regions and localities of German-occupied eastern Europe. It shows how such warfare was shaped by an array of factors including fighting power, political and economic structures, the ideological and psychological attitudes of the combatants, the stance of the occupied population towards occupier and partisans, varied and often extreme environmental conditions, and the hostile, often bloody relations between the different ethnic groups under occupation. The result is a new degree of illumination of the realities of partisan and anti-partisan warfare on the ground during this dark chapter in European history.

Thinking of You
It's 5:24am on Christmas morning. We've put the final touches on Christmas and now Donnie and I just wait until the kid's wake up.

Live early? This will sell out fast.
sflv said: Live early? This will sell out fast.I wonder why everyone gets so excited about saving a measly 10%. Right now there are plenty of deals where your money can make you 20%. Like the Alnertsons gift card deal going on until 12/3 where you get a $20 Catalina for free groceries when you buy a $100 gift card or the deal going on now at Rite Aid where you buy $100 Home Improvement Card and get a $20 +UP back.
Not a Hot Deal - Price
Poor Product
Bad Merchant Reputation
Spam, Referral or Self Promotion

Very neat! Never thought an ad would be intergrated into a ppt slide like this. Great use of the medium.
Why a ppt? You expect
this to get past spam block
& ppl to open this?
& click around for
this payoff?
Might work as
an online banner.
Use of medium is perfect. The idea is nice. The name of this is: VERY GOOD IDEA
I like the idea, and it's greatly executed, but people fear powerpoints in attachments due to virus alerts, + many spamfilters will block this content sadly enough. they should have made a flash site with the exact same content. Looks more professional as well

Despite his permanent unhappy expression, Kuma-Chan is the beloved teddy bear of Tamaki Suou. The one-time kidnapped, and continued abuse of Kuma-Chan causes Tamaki distress. He has since become a symbol for Tamaki. |
