PHOTOS - Rare photographs from the funeral of former president John F Kennedy
LIFE magazine has released rare and unpublished photographs of former president John F Kennedy's funeral, in 1963, and at Arlington Cemetery. These shots were taken just days after the president's assassination in Dallas.
Among the distinguished mourners photographed was the third President of Ireland Eamon DeValera, German President Heinrich Luebke, French President General Charles de Gaulle, Germany's Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, and French Premier Maurice Couve de Murville. British mourners included the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prime Minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, and the Leader of the Opposition, Harold Wilson.
On 25th November 25 1963, an estimated 800,000 Americans lined the streets to watch JFK's coffin on its way towards St Matthew's Cathedral in central Washington.
LIFE magazine reported the scene as JFK's casket lay in state for two days. The report read "A woman knelt and gently kissed the flag...A little girl's hand tenderly fumbled under the flag to reach closer. Thus, in a privacy open to all the world, John F. Kennedy's wife and daughter touched at a barrier that no mortal ever can pass again."
Between 1964 and 1966, an estimated 16 million people visited his grave.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Chevy's dander up over baseless Scheifele chatter
Cool. Focused. Confident.
This is Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.
In his nearly two years on the job, he has rarely, if ever, been heard going off message. In fact, he's the man Mark Chipman (and David Thomson) hired to set the hockey message for their organization.
So when Cheveldayoff's blood starts to run a little, you notice.
Last weekend, at an intermission where he was watching 2011 first-round draft pick Mark Scheifele, Cheveldayoff obliged a conversation about the organization's top prospect.
He was asked to comment on chatter out there in some corners of the hockey world that he and the Jets might be disappointed, maybe impatient or worried that Scheifele did not stick with the NHL team after the lockout.
Cheveldayoff became angered without so much as raising his voice. But his eyes flared and his words were not tame.
"I'm worried? Me?" he said. "You know what, I can't even comment on stuff like that. It's not even dignified to comment on it. This player was in the top three for his team at the World Junior. You talk to his coaches about what he was like at the World Junior; this can't be farther from the truth.
"That's the hard part about the world we're living in. It takes one person to say, 'Chevy's thinking this,' and it can have no basis or merit to it whatsoever, so where's the accountability from the person starting this?
"If you hear it from my mouth, believe it. If you don't hear it from my mouth, don't believe it.
"That's, I think, the bottom line. He's got 39 goals. He's becoming a leader. He's doing all those things that need to be done. I don't even know how to respond to that."
Was he disappointed to have to make the send-down decision after four NHL games this season for Scheifele?
"You're using the term disappointed," the GM said. "Why should we be bringing that up? Why should a 19-year-old have to play in the National Hockey League? Why should an 18-year-old have to play in the National Hockey League? These are things that we as an impatient society, group, hockey industry want to happen now. I don't get it. There's not an ounce of disappointment about sending him back to junior.
"These are things that single words can misconstrue so much. Nineteen-year-olds should be at the junior level unless they are absolutely ready to play at the National Hockey League level. We've talked with Mark when sending him back, we think the skills are there. We thing the hockey sense is definitely there. We think the ability to play with NHL people, that's there. The thing we want to make sure we don't make a mistake on is strength. You can't push a kid to grow. You can't push him; those things just happen on their own. Again, I'm just citing a case in point, but today Buffalo just sent back Michael Grigorenko.
"It shouldn't be a knock against anyone. But it's the reality for 18- and 19-year-old kids, that we as an industry, it's like eating your own young. Why do we want to do that?"
The more calm elements of the conversation at that intermission were immensely supportive of the progress Scheifele continues to make, including comments the player made in an interview with the Free Press a week ago.
"When a young player still realizes there is still lots to learn, yeah, that is a sign that he is kind of maturing," Cheveldayoff said. "He's playing for a coach that really, the more you ask him and the more you tap into his experiences, are only going to help you down the line.
"In today's day and age, it's information now, it's technology now, it's everything now. It's young kids that want now. We all want it now. You've got hundreds of channels to watch on TV, the Internet, you name it and it's like if you're not going to get it here and now, then I'm going to go somewhere else and get it now.
"So it's refreshing to hear when a player knows that in due time, I'll get there and I'm going to continue to learn until I do."
There is no doubt Cheveldayoff has some level of frustration with the hurry many fans seem to have in all areas, underscored by the team's recent surge in the standings. The perfect multiple-meaning of the word "rush."
Of course he understands it.
But the way the GM also answered some recent questions about trade rumours confirm some frustration. It also leaves little doubt he's going to continue to be his analytical self. And patient as well, even if some element of Jets Nation is otherwise.

CHICAGO – Chris Rock isn't a huge writer/director, but when he does make a film, it's an event to consider. For example, he made black president tale "Head of State" long before then-senator Barack Obama was even considered for the real-life role, and whether behind the stand-up mic or in an interview, he's a voice to be reckoned with.

Blu-Ray Review: 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete Second Season'Submitted by BrianTT on October 6, 2009 - 2:57pm
CHICAGO – The excellent Blu-Ray release for the second season of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" highlights what worked about this series that was cancelled far too soon. There were storytelling flaws and a male lead that never quite worked, but "SCC" delivered theatrical caliber sci-fi entertainment every week and it looks absolutely amazing in HD. It's a show that will be missed.

Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered an earlier review of the biggest pension fund's portfolio, Health Minister Norihisa Tamura said today, amid speculation the fund is already buying more stocks.
Japan's Topix index fell, poised for its fourth straight monthly loss, on disappointing earnings reports and as the yen held gains against the dollar amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.
Japan's government took control of Tokyo Electric Power Co., the center of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and agreed to provide 1 trillion yen ($12.5 billion) as part of the nation's largest bailout since the rescue of the banking industry in the 1990s.
Japanese bonds are the most expensive relative to local shares since the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. amid growing doubts that companies' earnings will meet analysts' forecasts.
The Topix index surged by the most in two years, after a three-week, $600 billion rout, as the yen weakened and shares advanced across the board. Stocks also gained after the government pension fund said it will sell bonds to buy more equities.
Asian stocks rose, with the Nikkei 225 Stock Average climbing to a 4 1/2-year high after the Bank of Japan's unprecedented stimulus. Chinese and Taiwanese shares fell after more infections from a deadly new strain of bird flu.
Japanese stocks rose for a fourth day as better-than-expected jobs data in the U.S. eased concern recovery in the global economy is faltering and as the yen fell.
Most Asian stocks fell, led by Japanese shares, after the country's economy grew at the slowest pace in three quarters. The Shanghai Composite Index posted its biggest advance this month as China overtook Japan to be the world's second-largest economy last quarter.
Japanese shares rose, with the Nikkei 225 Stock Average closing at its highest since 2008, amid speculation about who will be the next Bank of Japan governor. Shares pared gains after the yen erased declines.
Asian stocks fell, with the regional benchmark index heading for the first drop in five days, as China's manufacturing expanded at the slowest pace in eight months and South Korea's exports fell. Japanese shares led declines on disappointing earnings reports.
"It looks like there are many pension funds moving towards increasing stock holdings, following the trend set by GPIF."
- Norihiro Fujito on Jun 05, 2014

My Blog Is an Introvert, Just Like Me
By CeceK on August 21, 2013
Featured Member Post
In that sense, I am just not a natural when it comes to selling myself. I don't always like to put myself out there like that. It makes me feel vulnerable and I've never liked asking people for help or favors. I want you to like my blog but I don't necessarily want to ask you. I'm stubborn. I want you to stumble upon it and make the decision on your own. Perhaps by osmosis.
I'm not the life of the party. I'm more of an understated introvert and I guess my blog is too.
I can't be more eloquent, funnier, craftier, more domestic, more fashionable, more this or more that then I am. It's too exhausting to try to be something I'm not. I can only be me.
Popularity is seductive. We all want to be liked. Being liked is validating. The more validated we become the more we want it. The less validated we are the more we want it. It's a natural desire, but I try to be conscious of not letting it determine how I feel about myself.
I have come to understand that not everybody is gonna like me even if I like them. Not everyone will want to read my blog even if I read theirs. And vice versa. A lot of people are not going to be interested in a single thing I have to say. It doesn't have to be personal. It's just life. We can only read so many blogs in a day anyways.
I can comment 'till the cows come home and some bloggers will never acknowledge my existence. Ever. And I am not a no-reply commenter. Again, trying not to take it personally.
There is no exact science to blogging or popularity. It's what you make it, and it's what you bring to the table as an individual. Some bloggers will write two words or post a picture and get a million comments, and the next person could post that same picture and get none. Some blogs employ all the tricks in the book to gain readers, and then there are others that don't have to or choose not to.
I realize that if I don't do certain things, I may never get noticed. If I don't throw a party I can't expect anyone to show up. If I don't coordinate my ideas, I can't expect a lot of people to know about them. There are many tools of the trade available for growing readership, but I haven't really utilized all of them. I can't seem to decide what feels right for me and my blog. I do a bit of self promotion here and there, but mostly I just take it as it comes. It's the so-called "organic approach," which basically means slow.
Then there is the business side of it all. Thinking too much about search optimization, page views, or how to "drive" traffic makes my brain hurt. Marketing what? It's too much like work and I don't think of this blog as a job.
Here are the blog stats in all their glory. It's not anything to brag about. Normally you see this stuff posted on the sponsor tab of a blog, but I don't have one of those, so I'm putting them here -- and after this, you are likely never to see them again. I have the lowest number of likes in the history of any Facebook page I have ever seen. I actually think it's kind of funny. I'm still not sure why I even bother with it. I don't pay that much attention to page views, but I've seen anywhere between 180-450 per day based on the Blogger dashboard numbers. Nowhere near the astronomical 8,000 per day page views that some get. My jaw about fell off my head when I saw that posted on someone's blog.
Maybe I should be embarrassed of these stats after four years of blogging, but I'm not. They're just numbers. I wish I felt the same about my weight.
Bloglovin': 68
Feedburner: 8
Twitter: 105
Instagram: 63
Facebook: 7
Pinterest: 37
I try not to confuse popularity or followers with quality. It's really important for me to think about MY definition of blogger success. Whatever that means to me is what will dictate the direction of my blog and how I feel about myself as a blogger. Not everyone is cut out for blogger mogul status. Yes, you heard it here first; I've coined the phrase. It's very impressive how far some of them have taken their blogs, and I think that's great -- but not every blogger will get there.

iPads are becoming a common sight in the classroom, in the hands of both teachers and students, and the number of educational apps is growing everyday. Learn how to get the most from the iPad as a classroom teaching tool in this course with author and educator Aaron Quigley—and enhance student achievement, save time, and be more productive. Aaron shares his favorite apps for students of all levels, from categories like science, math, English, and others designed specifically to help teachers. Use this course to decide if these apps are right for you before you purchase them for the classroom.
As students are learning about the writing process, one of the largest challenges is getting students to get the information inside their head, down on paper. A dictation application, such as Dragon Dictation, can help speed up this process. Especially for students that are struggling writers, Dragon Dictation can be a great classroom accommodation, to help them take the thoughts in their head, and put them on paper, so that you can assess their learning. The way this dictation programs works, is students can hit the record button and just start speaking out their ideas. The application's going to listen to their spoken work and then turn it into actual text. The thing that it won't do is add punctuation.
After the students have spoken out their written text they then have to go through and make the proper grammatical changes to make them complete sentences. I'm going to go ahead and speak out the sentence and record it so we can see what this looks like. Students can speak out their text, and dragon dictation will copy it down for them. So here I spoke out, students can speak out their text and dragon dictation will copy it down for them. I notice a few things right off the bat, It missed the word it. It just says Dragon dictation will copy down for them. Also, it capitalized Dragon, but not the word dictation, because Dragon Dictation is the entire title, both words need to be capitalized.
When it comes to editing dictation, you can also view things as individual words. For example, if I click on a word, I can now see that I have the ability to just delete that single word, or just change that single word. This is a great tool if a word came in completely incorrect. I could just delete the incorrect word and type in the correct word. I can access the keyboard by clicking the keyboard button at the bottom of the screen. So here students can go through and start by adding a period. They can find any places there are errors such as adding the word it, they can add the appropriate capitalization and commas, and they've got a lot of their work already done just by speaking it out.

Kobo Edition (eBook)
The Fall of Five is the fourth novel in the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series by Pittacus Lore. The Garde are finally reunited, but do they have what it takes to win the war against the Mogadorians?
John Smith—Number Four—thought that things would change once the Garde found one another. They would stop running. They would fight the Mogadorians. And they would win.
But he was wrong. After facing off with the Mogadorian ruler and almost being annihilated, the Garde know they are drastically unprepared and hopelessly outgunned. Now they're hiding out in Nine's Chicago penthouse, trying to figure out their next move.
The six of them are powerful, but they're not strong enough yet to take on an entire army—even with the return of an old ally. To defeat their enemy, the Garde must master their Legacies and learn to work together as a team. More important, they'll have to discover the truth about the Elders and their plan for the Loric survivors.
And when the Garde receive a sign from Number Five—a crop circle in the shape of a Loric symbol—they know they are so close to being reunited. But could it be a trap? Time is running out, and the only thing they know for certain is that they have to get to Five before it's too late.
The Garde may have lost battles, but they will not lose this war.
Lorien will rise again.

My Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 is running on 10.6.6 and all the devices that were reported to work with this netbook do work...except Wi-Fi .
I am at least able to see networks, but after I connect I get the Alert: No Internet Connection Message . I thought it might be just my connection so I tried to connect to another open connection without a wpa2 password (i heard those were iffy) and same thing . My router is giving off an N connection speed I'm sure (I have Fios Internet) . I have an Atheros AR9285 card . dev id 168c x 002b . I've been searching for solutions but I still cannot get this wifi card to be fully functional . I'll note that in system preferences it says Airport Self-Assigned IP and then the yellow ball right beside it. When I manually assign an IP it turns green but then the Airport doesn't seem to like the iP or doesn't accept changes and goes back to it's default IP.

Anyone ?

I have the same card, check my signature; laptop, and works O-O-B.
You might want to try one of the 10.6.8 kext. Though, not sure which to replace. And if you set your router to auto b/g/n instead of n only? Does that work?
Hope this helps

Seduce Him With Your Scent: Spring's 6 Sexiest New Fragrances
Looking to start a new (or heat up an existing) spring romance? Hit all the right notes with a variety of fresh perfumes — well-kept beauty secrets — prime for picking.
1. Balenciaga Rosabotanica Eau de Parfum Spray, $70 for 1 oz.
Does he have a surprise planned? Come equipped with a little mystery of your own thanks to this delightfully dangerous botanical blend from Balenciaga, featuring a base of a contemporary green rose accord mixed with fig leaves and a heart derived from an experimental rose lightened by citrus notes and white woods.
2. Calvin Klein Endless Euphoria Eau de Parfum Spray, $49 for 1.4 oz.
If you're heading out for a playful day date, but don't want heavy-hearted fragrance notes weighing you down, lighten up with this sunny take on Calvin Klein's beloved Euphoria fragrance. The sweet-meets-sensual blend of violet, pastel rose and syringa (at the heart) and bamboo, sandalwood and bare musk (at the base) is a daydream come true.
3. Philosophy Love Swept Eau de Toilette Spray, $46 for 2 oz.
Ramp up a romantic dinner date with this vibrant (and budget-friendly) addition to Philosophy's fragrance family. While ingredients like blue violet, lotus blossom and purple passion fruit send sweet signals, skin musk, creamy amber and white cedarwood add a sensual touch.
4. NEST Paradise Eau de Parfum Spray, $65 for 1.7 oz.
Planning a couple's retreat? Give him a taste (or at least a whiff) of paradise early with this new escape of a perfume from NEST, which packs a bold mix of mediterranean blood orange, white ginger, cedar wood and watery nuances into one beautiful, flower painted bottle.
5. Fresh Life Eau de Parfum, $48 for 1 oz.
Built on a bed of velvet bergamot vanilla grass and dreamy cypress and tucked in with an eclectic blanket of botanicals and fruits, to say this sensual citrus scent from Fresh lives up to its name would be an understatement. Its soft, yet sweet makeup makes it perfect for meeting the parents or, for those who've graduated to the next level, running everyday errands together.
6. Vera Wang Be Jeweled Rouge Eau de Parfum Spray, $45 for 1 oz.
Great for the glam-getter, give yourself (and him) the five-star treatment with this jewel-clad creation from Vera Wang, which opens to unveil a rich concoction of oriental fruits and notes of red currant, gardenia and praline (red carpet not included).

When faced with the world's biggest award ceremony most people would crumble, but Sandra Bullock had a ball. The Blind Side beauty and now Oscar winner, 45, felt more relaxed inside the big ceremony than she ever thought she would, despite all the award pressure she was under. "When you get in the room you are surrounded by your colleagues, peers and people you have worked with for 15 years so that helps you be calm and just enjoy the process. It is a different and wonderful vibe and one that's actually enjoyable," she says. "In competitions — which I don't like very much — there is a tendency for everyone on the outside to pit one against the other because it makes it more spicy, and actually when you get in there everyone is just happy to be with everybody else. We don't want a battle." And on her Oscar win, she added: "More than anything I think they're all just bored of me turning up so they're hoping now I have the award I won't be back! But I like it here. It's a fun night out. And I don't get out much!"

Inbetweeners: Teens Want To Be Kids And Grown Up
by Melanie Shreffler on Aug 30, 12:04 PM
For decades, adults have been counseling teenagers that "high school is the best four years of your life." But most high schoolers would argue that adage is hopelessly out of date.

School Daze
by Eric Pakurar on Aug 24, 6:54 AM
Each year, it seems as if annual shopping seasons come earlier and earlier, whether it's Halloween, Christmas, or back-to-school. Part of this is due to regular retail cycles- which generally run for one or two months prior to peak shopping periods-and then sharply drop off once the holiday or event has passed. Yet, it seems as if this year's back-to-school shopping season crept up much earlier than in past years, with many TV ads airing at the beginning of August (and some even debuting in late July). Meanwhile, digital ads and sales promotions began popping up even earlier, some appearing ...

Integration Has No One Direction
by Frank Riolo on Aug 9, 7:21 AM
At the end of last week, we found out that the Olympic social media "debacle" may not have been a debacle at all. It may have actually helped the games. According to the ratings released on Friday, total viewership for the Olympics is substantially better than it was four years ago. Through the first five days, viewers were up nearly 30% higher than what NBC had originally expected.

How to Make Real Connections With Teen Girls: Three Lessons From Being A Miss Teen USA Judge
by Maruchi Santana on Aug 2, 12:54 PM
There's no better place to learn about teen girls than the Miss Teen USA pageant. During the last weekend of July, I had the honor of serving on the judging panel for this year's competition in the Bahamas. The hardest part? Picking a winner among so many amazing young women. The best part? Getting to know these fun, talented teens better and picking up a few insights on what matters to them most.

90 Undead Warlock
Rshaman, Affliction Lock, Unholy DK.
Play that and prosper.
(No, like seriously...)
Good luck.
Edited by Theinertjerk on 12/4/2012 8:03 AM PST
PvP Power heavily favours burst classes. Why is this? Because classes that can burst without much setup are able to force opponents to play defensive very early on. PvP Power exasperates this playstyle.
Don't talk about Spriests they need to be nerfed to the ground kthx
The scary damage shadow priests can do, doesn't come from dots. Right now its mind spikes, mind blast, and shadow word death. The dots give them procs, and some damage. Its important they get their dots up on multiple targets, but not for scoring kills. Unholy dks... were never about dots. It was all about getting your pets out, and your cds lined up. Yes, the dots are a component of that damage, but they aren't the main source of pressure. Even without pets it was more about necrotic strike then anything.
Now please don't misunderstand me here. Yes the dots do damage. Yes you should have them up. Yes they are a component to doing damage. But they are not how these classes are getting kills especially compared to how other classes are doing damage. As of right now, the playing field, the type of damage we are seeing, dots just don't play into that.
Affliction is the only class atm, maybe even excluding boomkins, that gets the majority of its damage from dots. Boomkins are getting 120-200k star surges and 15-30k starfall crits with cds up, can't consider that huge damage dots. If boomkins were scoring kill souly from dots... sure... or even if star surges were hitting for sub 80k... sure. But right now, if you are at half health with a boomkin and his cds are up, you could get gibbed.
90 Human Warrior
Posted by Hemalador
SPriests solved the problem... they're strated oneshoting people not doting...
And I'm telling you that this conclusion is wrong. It cannot make abilities unbalanced, because it doesn't scale at all with anything. All scaling is done before PvP Power is applied, all balance has already happened, and PvP Power does not effect it at all, because it's a static increase.
Honestly this is really simple can you please grasp it already
90 Human Warlock
I made some graphs which prove my point, but unfortunately I'm a formating noob and couldn't get it here, which is a shame because it clearly and simply showed why PvP Power is a bonus to Burst, so I'll try to explain it to you (which is far from ideal).
Lets compare a DoT class, to a Burst class. The DoT class does constant damage of about the same for the duration, the burst class does "spikey damage". Lets say over 5 sec the DoT class does 5 damage every second. The burst class 4, 6, 9, 4, 2 damage (ie first second does 4 etc). Then lets factor 50% PvP Power in. The DoT class does 7.5 every second. The Burst class does 6, 9, 13.5, 6, 3. Both classes have done the same damage over the full duration. PvP Power has increased each attack of the DoT class by 2.5, but PvP Power has actually increased the Bursts best attack by 4.5.
What this means is that PvP Power has an exponential relationship with the normal attacks as far as the resulting damage goes, when compared to attacks that do less damage. A Chaos bolt might crit for 150k before PvP Power, but with 50% it now hits for 225k, an increase of 75k!!! Blood Plague might tick for 15k , with PvP Power 22.5k, an increase of 7.5k. That increase of 75k is very possibly enough to kill an opponent, the increase of 7.5k isn't.
Even if over the course of a fight the DoT class could theoretically do just as much damage, the extreme spikes stop it from doing so (cos it's dead). Burst shouldn't be something that's taken from the game, its very important, its just the extreme spikes of damage happening is too much. It's worth noting that PvP resilience has the opposite effect and reduces the spikes, but it still doesn't change the fact PvP Power increases them exponentially and indescriminately.
As it stands its a lazy stat (most unlike Blizzard, they do a pretty good job in balancing things in PvE). They just said "what can we do to make PvP gear better for PvP? Lets just throw a flat damage increase on it, that'll do" without putting the thought processes normally designated for PvE into it (think about how well Mastery in PvE works out), and clearly they didn't do much testing with it to see how it would work "in the real world".
PvP Power by itself, amplifies class'es burst, resulting in extreme spikes in damage. This is why its such an obnoxious stat in its current form. This is why it favours Burst damage
@ Adroite
Perhaps using the term "pressure classes" rather than DoT classes would be more appropriate. Unholy DK for exampe, where damage is coming from multiple sources (diseases, ghoul, various abilities, weapon swings etc), but in a way where it's not relying on big damage in a short window. When your up against a training dummy (or it has unlimited uptime on a target) Ghoul damage is essentially a DoT.
You are still getting it wrong due to missing some very very basic properties of mathematics. I'll try to explain one more time and if you still do not understand there's just nothing I can do for you.
"A Chaos bolt might crit for 150k before PvP Power, but with 50% it now hits for 225k, an increase of 75k!!! Blood Plague might tick for 15k , with PvP Power 22.5k, an increase of 7.5k"
Both abilities have increased by the same amount. 50%.
The difference between the 2 abilities before PvP Power is 1000%- one hits 10 times harder than the other. After PvP Power, the difference between the 2 abilities is STILL 1000%- one STILL hits 10 times harder than the other.
PvP Power does not influence the scaling of the abilities AT ALL. It's literally exactly the same.
The problem is having abilities that hit 1000% harder than other abilities, PvP Power has nothing to do with this.

From an Afflock standpoint the PvP Power increase was actually a hidden nerf. Our "full damage output" requires us to ramp-up over a 5 second to 10s period depending on what spells you want to count. The variable that makes pvp power a nerf to us is CC and the overall "mechanics" that balance the classes.
All things being equal, a front loaded DD class and an Afflock will spend the same amount of time CC'd. But because our FDO is layered we only get a percentage of our potential damage where as a DD class like a Mage will get 100% of their possible damage when not under CC.
You can walk through the 5-7 spells Affliction has to layer one after another to ramp up to do damage but Agony alone is probably the easiest to visualize the concept. Agony will take 10s to get from 1 stack to 10 stacks. Due to CC's (include dispell in there) in a 10s period you get an average of 5 stacks. They will do about 1/3 of the total damage of the spell in the first 5s with 2/3 being in the last 5s. But we don't get that damage (it got dispelled). A Mage will get 50% of their potential damage over 10s because of the same CC.
The Lock got 3 damage, the Mage got 5 damage. That in itself isn't unfair per say. Damage spells on their own don't make a class, the entirety of a class, their haste, strength, and yes their HP's are all part of it. The DPCT on dots is better than DD's as well, it's all part of the overall "mechanics" that balance the classes.
Now let's add a flat 10% PvP Power (damage) increase. The Afflock goes from 3 to 3.3 damage, the mage from 5 to 5.5 damage. So the Mage gets .2 (or 3.6%) extra damage, to remove the same pool of hitpoints they had pre-patch. Nothing else got changed... As a Lock I have more HP's, but I didn't get an extra 3.6% HP to compensate for the mages 3.6% extra damage output.
lol i feel the same way.
"A Chaos bolt might crit for 150k before PvP Power, but with 50% it now hits for 225k, an increase of 75k!!! Blood Plague might tick for 15k , with PvP Power 22.5k, an increase of 7.5k"
Yes I DO understand it's a flat benefit, I think I've stated it plenty of times by now. And yes if the burst ABILITIES were toned down it would lower burst (it probably won't happen due to the way damage is balanced aroung PvE).
Maybe to put it another way.
Lets pretend there's a DoT class and a Burst class. They do the exact same damage in a 2 min fight. The DoT class does it's damage at a constant, unchanging rate. The Burst class does 80% of the total damage in a 30 sec window. Lets say During this fight both classes do 1000 damage. During that 30 sec window the Burst class does 800, the DoT class does 250.
Now lets add PvP Power at 50%. Both classes now do 1500 damage over 2 mins. In that 30 sec window the Burst class does 1200, an increase of 400 damage, the DoT class does 375, an increase of 125. Lets pretend both classes are fighting against each other, have no resil and have 1000 HP. The Burst class kills the DoT class in less than 30 secs with over 600 HP left. If they both had 1500 HP it would be a draw. If they both had 2000 HP the burst class would win.
As much as anything this example displays the nature of burst. It also shows, because most of the Burst class'es damage is compressed, how PvP Power increases that Burst. The DoT class still gets the benefit of the PvP Power stat, but it is given it over a much longer time frame, the Burst class gets the benefit of 50% PvP Power whenever it decides to burst.
If you can't see how PvP Power buffs high damage in a short time duration vs constant damage over time after several explainations I don't think your willing to look at this issue objectively.

Their mechanics are nothing like a true dot class. They use their dots to proc instant mind blasts, mind spikes, devouring plagues (which has been converted from a weak DoT to a strong burst nuke). Plus of course SW:Death.
Agreed 100%
I have been playing a healer in pvp for 7 years. Having to use caution when spamming heals for watching mana levels is something that adds extra skill to the game and personally I love it.
At the moment though with burst being so high, You just spam the fastest heal you got cuz other wise sh!ts gon die.
90 Human Death Knight
I forgot that people have a base 40% resilience... Seeing as 50% pvp power only makes them do 10% more damage... Not must be something wrong with pvp power not the burst potential of some classes. Must be PvP power being 50% and everyone having 0% resilience even though a level 1 has 40% resil...
90 Orc Rogue
I'll tackle your contrived example.
Ok, let's say you get your wish. PvP is totally removed. Now there's a whole lot less damage in the game, and a whole lot more itemization left over on the PvP gear. That itemization is going to go somewhere. Considering that PvP power was an offensively itemized stat, it seems natural to say, "Let's put it into offense."
Ok. You now have more strength on your burst class, and intellect on your dot class. As stats usually do, they increase your damage. Str increases attack power, and int increases spellpower. Assuming our players are both equally geared, we raise our dps by an equal amount. Let's say 50%.
Resume your "analysis":
Both classes now do 1500 damage over 2 mins. In that 30 sec window the Burst class does 1200, an increase of 400 damage, the DoT class does 375, an increase of 125. Lets pretend both classes are fighting against each other, have no resil and have 1000 HP. The Burst class kills the DoT class in less than 30 secs with over 600 HP left. If they both had 1500 HP it would be a draw. If they both had 2000 HP the burst class would win.
As we can see, you don't have a problem with PvP power. You have a problem with burst.

What Connie Willis soon makes clear is that genre can go to the dogs. To Say Nothing of the Dog is a fine, and fun, romance--an amused examination of conceptions and misconceptions about other eras, other people. When we first meet Ned, in 1940, he and five other time jumpers are searching bombed-out Coventry Cathedral for the bishop's bird stump, an object about which neither he nor the reader will be clear for hundreds of pages. All he knows is that if they don't find it, the powerful Lady Schrapnell will keep sending them back in time, again and again and again. Once he's been whisked through the rather quaint Net back to the Oxford future, Ned is in a state of super time-lag. (Willis is happily unconcerned with futuristic vraisemblance, though Ned makes some obligatory references to "vids," "interactives," and "headrigs.") The only way Ned can get the necessary two weeks' R and R is to perform one more drop and recuperate in the past, away from Lady Schrapnell. Once he returns something to someone (he's too exhausted to understand what or to whom) on June 7, 1888, he's free.
Willis is concerned, however, as is her confused character, with getting Victoriana right, and Ned makes a good amateur anthropologist--entering one crowded room, he realizes that "the reason Victorian society was so restricted and repressed was that it was impossible to move without knocking something over." Though he's still not sure what he's supposed to bring back, various of his confederates keep popping back to set him to rights. To Say Nothing of the Dog is a shaggy-dog tale complete with a preternaturally quiet, time-traveling cat, Princess Arjumand, who might well be the cause of some serious temporal incongruities--for even a mouser might change the course of European history. In the end, readers might well be more interested in Ned's romance with a fellow historian than in the bishop's bird stump, and who will not rejoice in their first Net kiss, which lasts 169 years! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I found myself laughing out loud at times while reading in.
This book has fun characters, who are even more entertaining when suffering the effects of time lag which seems to be like jet lag but much funnier to the observer.
Very witty and entertaining peopled with believable characters an interesting plot.

Have been using my Jawbone UP on stock and custom rom's like Monx with the Xperia Z1 for some time now but as of recent I switched to an AOSP type rom, primarily Carbon ROM (great ROM) but the UP isn't syncing nor is it being recognised, I use my UP all the time and would like to have both the ROM and the UP working together.
Has anyone had any issues with theirs or some knowledge which may help besides going back to stock.
Many thanks
FYI, i'm using the wired Jawbone UP not the wireless one.

QOTD - 3/15 - Color Phobia or Avoidance
I am going to jump in with a QOTD. Is there a color that you will not use when making a quilt or that you intensely dislike? I tend to use all colors depending on the colors and style of the quilt, but I think some people go to great pains not to use a certain color or two. Wondering what color(s) that might be...
I tend to avoid baby pink and pastels unless making a baby quilt. I get bolder with color the longer I quilt. Maybe it's an old-age thing. Next thing you know I'll be wearing a red hat and a purple dress!
In the past I avoided black, brown, and orange, but not anymore! Guess you say I have given up control over color selection. As the song goes: "all God's colors got a place in the choir, some sing low, some sing higher, some sing out loud on the telephone wire and some just clap their hands..."
I've not heard that song, Teresa! That's a corker!! lol
I don't use black as much anymore only because I can't see where I'm sewing on it. I'll use all colors but steer clear of stripes and plaids. I think it's that control thing....it bothers me when the lines don't go the same way or the stripes aren't even.
Sharon, I am the same with stripes or plaids. I have a friend that always gives me a hard time about not using plaids.(She's teasing.) It drives me crazy when the lines are not straight!
There aren't any colors that I won't use, just some I like more than others.
Linda OH
I'm not crazy about pastels and still rarely use them. For a long time I never used white. Muslins and beige on beige were OK, but never white. But a few birthday blocks and lottos called for WOW - I had to ask what that was in the beginning! - and now I love it.
Jayne, I agree with you r.e. Fassett.. I feel like I need to put on my sunglasses. They make me so jumpy when I look at those fabrics and pattern books. And I hadn't thought about it, but yes, the only pure colors I like
are yellow if light and not glaring, and blues if darker than a true blue.
And along with Sharon, I generally avoid black, partially because of not being able to see well to sew on it, and also because we have 3 furball Cavaliers and their hair shows up on black even if just a single fiber!
But as with Kate, I used to not care for whites, using only naturals, but use a lot of white now.
I wonder if we could identify color preference trends over an aging timeline? The older I get, the "muddier" I like my colors, other than learning to like white! And MUCH to my surprise, I like natural and white together, especially in painting rooms.. In my 20's I'd have nearly gone into apoplexy over that combination.
Whew! I thought it was just my old eyes that had trouble sewing on black....it must be a "problem" with all black fabric since so many of us have that issue....LOL
I find that I just don't have any plaids and maybe only one or two stripes in my stash. Plaid is too "scrappy" for me. I am one of those who don't care for "scrappy" and but am working on it. Other than that, all colors work for me..purples and reds being my favorites, and I don't even belong to that hat society!
I'm with the pattern avoidance group. Mostly because I have a hard time putting them together. I really envy someone that can do that. For the longest time I had a hard time putting my dh's tie, shirt and suits together. Since he's asked my opinion more lately (he's red/green color blind), I've become more comfortable with matching patterns. I like color, just not too much all at once.
I like most colors.
Like many others, I find black difficult to work with but love to use it for backgrounds.
When I was organizing my scraps, I found that, in my regular use colors, I had a LOT of blues and greens but very few yellows, purples, oranges and reds.
I had some browns, deeper reds and purples and other fabrics that I think of as masculine or forest colors but not a lot of those.
I had some pastels and stripes and dots and juvenile prints in the baby/kids fabric drawer but not a lot.
I also had a lot of off-whites and neutrals.
Surprisingly, I had very little white although I had a lots of it last year. I guess I've used it.
I do like yellow sprinkled through scrap quilts.
I do want to try a quilt with lots of oranges. When the 'Pretty in Pink' and 'Black and White and _____ 'challenges were on, I kept thinking that 'Orange You Sweet'(LOL) would be a good challenge.
My favorite color is bright red but I don't have much bright red fabric....go figure.
It's nice to read about what each of you like/dislike to see how it matches my choices.
It's also nice to see how our color, design and pattern preferences change. I started out doing a few pastel baby quilts but then did mostly bright baby quilts. For big quilts I started with liking 3 or 4 matching colors but soon after that I liked scrap quilts with a constant color or total scrappy. They are now my favorite quilts to make.
I made one quilt that would be considered monochromatic and loved it so who knows what is next.
I like almost every color, except I am not overly fond of purple, but I sew with it. There is a place for all colors especially used to accent another color.
But.....Dusty rose and Williamsburg Blue make me gag.
I like happy, bright, high contrast colors in my sewing.
I love black, but have gone black - blind recently as I am using it often. I read to use navy thread when sewing black to help you see it. I haven't tried it yet.
I need a bigger stash so I can be more color picky :)
I like most colors too but as I look at my stash I see that purple and gray are the two colors I have very little of. However brown is not my favorite. I usually choose colors based on the person the quilt is being made for. Being in the Birthday Block I get to use colors I usually don't choice for myself.
I love all colors, but they need to be pure tones - bright and vivid. I set them with mostly white or black. I love contrast.
Like Magothyrivergirl, dusty rose and that hideous blue will never make it into a quilt for me. I upholstered too many chairs in those colors to ever enjoy them again! But my Mom, however, got three - a bed quilt, and two lap quilts incorporating these colors. ONLY for her would I use those colors, and they are only accents.
I also made a depression block quilt in blues and tans, so not my colors, but perfect for my author/doctor friend. It looks just like his library of leather bound books.
I just finished a project using civil war reproduction fabrics where the warm colors have a brown undertone and the cool colors have a gray undertone. As I had to supplement from my stash I found that I do not have fabrics like these because I avoid them!

This is a remarkable mineral sunscreen (titanium dioxide is the sole active ingredient) for normal to dry or sensitive skin. It is fragrance-free and loaded with antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients, and the packaging will keep these sensitive ingredients stable during use. There are very few sunscreens/daytime moisturizers available that supply skin with such an impressive cocktail of beneficial ingredients. As such, this deserves strong consideration. The only sour note is the price, which may discourage liberal application, which is essential for achieving the sun protection your skin needs daily (though this is still less expensive than many department store offerings).
This dual delivery system helps protect your skin from environmental aggressors like the sun's UVB rays, and helps prevent signs of aging by diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, so your skin stays looking young, healthy and beautiful. Safe for all skin types.
Active: Titanium Dioxide (6.6%), Other: Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Aluminum Stearate, Cetyl Esters, Jojoba Esters, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Bisabolol, Squalane, Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extra, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf, Di-PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Adipate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Alumina, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Polyisobutene, Polysorbate 20, Acrylamide/Ammonium Acrylate Copolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin
BeautiControl At-A-Glance
Strengths: The Cell Block-C products include stablized Vitamin C; some well-formulated moisturizers; decent scrub products; excellent retinol products; some good cleansers plus an exceptional makeup remover; Lip Apeel; very good lip balm with sunscreen; some great foundations (including one with full coverage); very good powder blush and eyeshadow trios; the liquid eyeliner and lip gloss are excellent; some innovative products that make this line deserve a second look.
Weaknesses: Most of the body-care products contain irritating ingredients, as do several others throughout the line; the jar packaging is really disappointing; most of the toners contain problematic ingredients that can hurt skin; almost all of the men's products are full of irritants; limited options for sunscreens, although what's available provides sufficient UVA protection; the Skinlogics Sensitive skin-care line contains ingredients that are problematic for those with sensitive skin; mostly problematic concealers; limited to poor foundation, concealer, and powder shades for women of color.
Texas-based BeautiControl has been around for nearly three decades and has maintained a consistent focus on skin care. Most recently they have shaped their line around the concept of creating your own in-home spa, which the company uses to entice women to host BeautiControl parties for their friends and family. Whether you find out about (or end up purchasing) these products by attending a BeautiControl party or you happen across their Web site, there are some compelling reasons to consider several BeautiControl products. Let's start with the positives.
The best face forward side of BeautiControl is that their price point is not over the top, and mostly reasonable; plus several of their products are exceptional. We also think their overall approach to taking care of skin is well-intentioned. Without question, the ingredients in their best products demonstrate they're keeping up with the state-of-the-art. If they stopped including problematic ingredients and discontinued the poorly formulated products this line would be a much stronger option for consumers looking to take excellent care of their skin while remaining brand-loyal.
BeautiControl's focus on launching more and more miracle products with incredibly misleading claims might help them sell more products, but it doesn't always make for good skin care. And how come they have so few facial moisturizers with sunscreen? Protecting skin from sunlight indisputably keeps it looking younger, firmer, smoother, and even-toned far longer than anything else you can do for skin.
BeautiControl's makeup collection has been streamlined a bit, and that's good news. The foundation colors are divided into warm, cool, and neutral tones though the warm tones (those that begin with the letter Y) are more neutral than warm, which is good news. The cool shades (those that begin with the letter P) are the least impressive. Throughout the color line are some happy surprises, such as the improved powder blush and eyeshadow trios but also some really bland products such as the eye pencil and some gimmicky primer-type products. You'll find some great products whether you want to shop BeautiControl's color line piecemeal or assemble a complete makeup wardrobe, and the prices are reasonable.

Note: We would like to acknowledge and extol how exceptionally helpful the staff at BeautiControl's main office has been in allowing my team and me to compile the information necessary to complete this review. Very few cosmetics companies extend such a high level of service and reliable information to us, and we truly appreciate it.

It was best.I reccomend it the Highness.
This sunscreen goes on silky smooth; leaving no white residue or greasy film. Worth every penny!
Bought this product on ebay US (not available in the Netherlands, as most recommended products).
Not happy with it. I have dry skin and this made my skin look oily. Not a nice glow, my face looked like I put olive oil on it. And then, at the end of the day I saw my skin broke out, which is unusual for me. Decided to give it a try for a week and after a stopped using it, my skin calmed down.
Wouldn't recommend it.
Recently bought this after reading Paula's review. So far I really like it. I do have a question though. Does this product offer UVA protection as well as UVB protection? And is this type of suncreen good for those who have a tendency to develop brown spots after being out in the sun? Thank you!
I have never found a product to work for my skin. Often I just wear nothing at all, not even sunscreen, because I found that it made my skin look worse (dry, older or irritated). So I have tried many sunscreens that are said to be good, like for example Allie SPF 50 and Caudalie.
But, this one is the best ever, I think I'll be using it forever. It leaves my skin looking very nice and soft.
So I am very glad I finally found something that works for me :)

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
Rhodri Davies | 25 May 2010 18:03 GMT | Politics, Latin America, Colombia, Sudan
Most of Colombia's estimated 4.9 million displaced people have been forced from their homes by violence and hunger [EPA]
Many of the between 3.3 and 4.9 million internally displaced people (IDPs) in Colombia - as estimated by the government and a local human rights NGO called the Human Rights and Displacement Consultancy (Codhes) respectively - are said to be facing exploitation of their vote in Sunday's presidential poll in return for crucial welfare provision.
The election will bring an end to incumbent Alvaro Uribe's eight year reign. Juan Manuel Santos, Uribe's former defence minister and party ally, and Antanas Mockus, the Green party candidate, are level in the pre-vote polls.
But, Noemi Sanin, the presidential candidate for the Conservative party, who is currently third in the polls, has criticised Santos' campaign for allegedly threatening displaced and poor people with the removal of welfare subsidies if they do not vote for him.
Santos has said that there is no evidence behind the allegations.
However, the claims are not without precedent in a country with the second highest number of IDPs in the world. Groups monitoring legislative polls in March this year say they uncovered the same issues.
'Manipulating benefits'
The Washington Office on Latin America (Wola), a human rights group, found misuse of the Presidential Agency for Social Action, the government entity which funds national social investment programmes providing subsidies for shelter, education and economic support.
In particular, Familias en Accion, one of the programmes under the Presidential Agency for Social Action - which provides about three million poor and displaced families with subsidies - was seen to have been misappropriated in the provinces of Valle del Cauca, Antioquia and Santander.
"We were informed of Accion Social manipulating benefits so that IDPs will vote for one party or another," Gimena Sanchez-Garzoli, a senior associate for Colombia and the Andes at the Wola, said.
Wola said that the programme's resources were used to secure votes for candidates from parties supporting the Uribe administration.
Locals told the monitors that programme representatives had meetings with them before polling to inform them that they were only receiving benefits - of as little as tens of dollars a month - due to the benevolence of the president.
Colombia's four decades-long civil war and its cocaine industry - the world's largest - are not only the cause of displacement but also exacerbate abuse of IDPs.
Sanchez-Garzoli said: "These are desperate persons ... IDPs are also susceptible to vote buying, manipulation and other forms of coercion by illegal armed groups."
Paramilitaries, leftist movements such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc), which remains the most prominent anti-government group, and drug cartels continue to threaten democratic rights in Colombia with impunity.
Where such groups maintain control vulnerable populations have often been pressured to vote in a particular way, according to research by the Americas Policy Programme.Even without vote manipulation, IDPs - who represent between eight to 10 per cent of Colombia's 45 million people - typically find it difficult to exercise their democratic rights.
Registration problems
The government gave IDPs a two week period in which to register to vote outside of their home communities.
But Wola found that for many this period was too short, precluding IDPs from taking up their voting right.Additionally, as many displaced people have lost their identity documents, it is difficult for them to vote.While Colombia has comprehensive legislation in place to protect and assist displaced people, the growing number of IDPs have made it difficult for state agencies to meet these standards.
In 2004, Colombia's constitutional court ruled that neglect of IDP's rights was unconstitutional and orders were made to end such infringements. However, relevant policies have not emerged and a gap between legislation and the reality on the ground remains.
This has led to criticism of Uribe's democratic security policy, which while claiming significant military successes against the Farc and other left-wing groups, is viewed as having ignored IDPs.
During Uribe's rule about 2.4 million people have been displaced - typically due to cyclical struggles for political and economic control of areas, according to Codhes.
Rural communities are often also faced with pressure from the state to assume their strategies against guerrillas, Edwin Tapia, a public policy analyst at Codhes, said.
Displaced households are disproportionately headed by already vulnerable groups, such as Afro-Caribbean, indigenous and poor rural people.
According to official statistics, about 40 per cent of displaced households are headed by women.
'Unreported crimes'
Additionally, many of the people suffering abuse do not report it.
Laura Carlson, of the Americas Policy Programme which carried out monitoring before the March polls, said: "Everywhere we went people reported a lot of fear. We found that even the institutions responsible for electoral crimes recognised that there were widespread crimes going on and yet they were receiving very few complaints.
"And when we talked to organisations of poor people as to why that was, they said of course this is going on and the reason why people were not filing official complains was because they had no faith in the official organisations to follow through with those complaints.
"In fact, there was a possibility that they could be targeted were they to file formal complaints with the official organisations. Because there is a degree of collusion between in many cases the police and military organisations at least within the perception of the people."
Presidential campaigns have also generally overlooked the IDP issue.
A key problem is that IDPs are stigmatised and discriminated against in Colombia rather than being treated as victims of violence and armed conflict. Thus their situation is not seen by many politicians as a political issue.
The successor to Uribe needs to fulfill legislation and the orders of the constitutional court, without a view to benefiting politically, Sanchez-Garzoli said.
Dealing with the IDP crisis would mean attending to Colombia's other major problems. This includes rampant inequality, dismantling right-wing para-military groups, negotiating with the left-wing guerillas and re-analysing the government's democratic security policies.
As Sanchez-Garzoli said: "Addressing the internal displacement crisis and its root causes will also help Colombian society in addressing the major structural issues that have kept the armed conflict alive for so many decades."
