Mobile telecoms provider Three has announced a management agreement deal with Chinese ICT provider Huawei.
The five-year contract, worth £120m, will see Huawei deliver service management for Three's core network in the UK, ICT applications and the transport network. The contract, previously held by Ericsson, will see a number of permanent positions transfer to the Chinese firm.
"The decision to select Huawei to manage core network operations follows a rigorous procurement process," said Dave Dyson, CEO of Three UK, which carries 43 per cent of mobile data traffic in the UK.
"We chose the partner that best met our requirements and which matched our long-term vision of how our network should be managed.
"This partnership is just one of a series that sees us enhance the capability of our Ultrafast network. The partnership means the existing team will continue to support the management of our core network," he added.
Huawei CEO Victor Zhang welcomed the deal with Three as an opportunity to develop the company's capabilities in the UK.
"Huawei is very pleased to be selected by Three for the operations management of its core network," he said.
"The agreement is an important step in building a world-class managed services capability. Huawei has been in the UK for 11 years and by focusing on the needs of our customers, we continue to develop and grow our business."
Huawei has selected Indian firm Tech Mahindra as its partner to deliver ICT applications management in the UK.
The UK deal with Three comes despite Huawei being treated with suspicion by other nations. Australia has barred the Chinese telecoms provider from contracts to work on its national broadband network, while a year-long investigation by US Congress labelled Huawei a security threat. The report suggested Chinese firms can't be trusted to be independent of the Chinese government and military.
Huawei offered to give Australia unrestricted access to its software source code and equipment in an effort to improve its reputation.
There is a lot of attention being paid to how business leaders can use the mobile computing preferences of employees and customers to be more responsive, efficient and successful. This white paper runs through five security considerations for the mobile age.

The two will swap local listings and video content, each taking on ad selling duties.
A partnership announced last week between Kudzu.com and HGTV.com will bring Kudzu's local business listings to HGTV and, in turn, HGTV's home and garden video content to Kudzu.
"We're aligning with them for a partnership that has lots of pieces," said Tom Bates, Kudzu's general manager and VP of Cox Search. "Our content is pulled into a new services directory at HGTV.com and HGTV video content comes to Kudzu."
Kudzu.com is a Cox Enterprises-owned site that provides localized listings of home repair businesses. HGTV.com is a home and garden cable television site owned by Scripps Networks.
HGTV.com video content will appear around Kudzu and include clips from TV shows and specially-produced content that is relevant to home repair, according to Vikki Neil, GM and SVP for Scripps Networks online home brands. Some of the businesses that are posted at Kudzu also feature their own video content.
Kudzu.com launched in Atlanta in 2005, rolled out to three western cities in 2006, and went national last year. The site provides listings of more than 12 million home repair businesses which are rated by consumers.
"[HGTV.com is] a national site that's trying to localize, so we'll help them do it, and we can pull in relevant video content from them," Bates said.
The partnership increased the exposure of the Kudzu listings, which will appear on both sites. Advertising sold by both sites; national ads sold by HGTV will appear at Kudzu, while ads bought by local companies at Kudzu will run on the Services page at HGTV.
Local businesses listed at Kudzu see the partnership as promising. "They'll see us splashed through HGTV and it will pop up in different areas. The exposure will be tremendous," said John Hillis, vice president of Casteel Heating and Air, an Atlanta company.
The predominantly female audience at HGTV could be a boost to local businesses, suggested Hillis. "Females make most of the decisions and they watch HGTV, so it adds credibility," he said.
The Kudzu content is also slated to appear on DIYNetwork.com, another Scripps site devoted to home repair beginning this fall, Neil said.

1. If Novell's Unix IP had much leverage against Linux, then Microsoft buying Novell would be almost certainly very problematic, antitrust-wise.Every day that goes by, I keep thinking that this Microsoft/Novell deal is nothing more than a prelude to Microsoft outright buying Novell who will then offer some cheap-ass Linux desktop solution.
With Novell owning the original Unix IP, Microsoft may then eventually have the upper hand. That's a SCARY thing...
Question: is it not possible to put a clause in the GPL v3 to make tis quite clear? Something along the lines of "Any funny tricks to circumvent the SPIRIT of the GPL will make it automatically void and the offending entity will be sued for copyright infringement"
Of course. Here's the legal language you're asking for: "Do what I mean, not what I say."
So, this illustrates the fundamental problem in law. Law does not require ethical behavior. This is because there is no canonical definition of ethical behavior in all of its details that we could get everyone to agree on, and thus instead law defines particular kinds of behavior in specific terms and prohbits them, setting fines and penalties.
So, we can point out what seems to us to be unethical. We can convince lots of you, possibly even a fair majority, of our argument. We can ask you to take action to retaliate, like not recommending Novell again. But we can't get them in court, this time. We'll be ready next time.
I don't see a short-term solution for this. Perhaps further human evolution is necessary.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable. -- C.B. Luce

Fedora 18 Will Preview A New Package Manager
Published on 18 June 2012 05:58 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
56 Comments
During today's FESCo meeting, the engineering and steering committee approved a number of new features for
Fedora 18
, a.k.a.
the Spherical Cow
Newly-approved features for this next Fedora Linux release due out in November include:
- An improved initial experience, such as for showing any EULA/licenses on first boot, improvements to getting on the network easier, setting the system time/location, setting up online accounts (e.g. G-Mail), and other enhancements to provide "an improved and smoother initial experience" for those trying out the Fedora desktop for the first time. Initial experience details are on
this Wiki page
- More packages to make Fedora 18 a more ideal development platform for Clojure. The Clojure language is a dialect of the Lisp programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine, Common Language Runtime, and JavaScript engines.
- Fedora 18 will use DNF, which is a new package manager. DNF is considered a next-generation Yum package manager and uses the hawkey/libsolv back-end. DNF was forked from Yum 3.4 and aims to provide better performance while with a smaller memory footprint, a leaner code-base, a strict API definition for extending projects, strict API definition for plug-ins, and a SAT solver for dependency resolving. DNF and Yum can co-exist so for the Spherical Cow this is mainly meant as a preview item. Hawkey is the new package management API that is built atop libsolv. More information on
the Wiki
- The
GCC-LLVM plug-in will be available in Fedora 18.
- The debug files in debuginfo packages will be compressed using the DWARF Compressor dwz in order to save space.
- The minimal debuginfo will be installed by default in an attempt to increase quality of bug reports and allows for easier profiling and user-space tracing.
- Support for offline updates using systemd and PackageKit. The updating of system components will be done in a minimal, controlled environment. Details
- SELinux booleans will be renamed.
- More SysVInit scripts will be ported to systemd unit files.
- New systemd documentation and systemd unit file clean-ups will happen.
These newly-approved Fedora 18 features were mentioned in the
FESCo meeting notes

Away Team selection Fed and KDF

I don't use tac boffs in away teams as I don't find their skills all that useful. I go with three engineers and a sci. The engineers are all specced for phaser turrets I&II and support drone I. The sci is specced as a healer, medical tricorder I&II and nanite health monitor I.
I was having trouble with ground combat too, until I went with this build. Once the engineers have popped out all their turrets and drones you get a lot of extra firepower that most mobs can't cope with. If it looks like it will be a tough fight I will have my engineers set up all their turrets first and give them orders to stay put, then I use a sniper rifle to pull the mobs towards all the turrets.
I can't claim I came up this setup myself, I go the idea from reading this thread
There are some good ideas for alternate setups there also, if you don't want to go for the engineer team.

Gallery: Vashon Island Cabin Creates an Energy Efficient Family Retreat...
Who doesn't love a quiet country escape after a long week in the urban mix? Surrounded by nature and stunning views, one lucky family in Washington has found itself with a stylish escape they've named the Vashon Island Cabin. An eye-catching, modern three-bedroom waterfront retreat, this cabin was carefully designed by Vandeventer + Carlander Architects to include an innovative layout atop a compact 172 m2 lot. The new building features extensive windows throughout which not only allow for great views of the Puget Sounds, but also make the most of natural light and passive solar heating.
The new cabin also features exposed concrete floors, with energy-efficient hydronic heating, which serve as a heat sink for passive solar heating. Moreover, sun screens and operable windows providing cross-ventilation provide for natural cooling, in turn alleviating the need for mechanical air-conditioning.
The strong box corners and simple shapes of the design have been created with a wooden box insertion breaking up the volume of the main cabin nicely. The plan well encompasses the master bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, meaning the overall cabin feels anything but small. In addition, the daylit basement includes a family room, two bedrooms, and a new bath with laundry. The cabin was completed in 2009.

Floor scrubber
I bought a Hoover Floormate to clean my sealed hardwood and tile and am now returning it throughly disappointed. It worked very well and I was thrilled with how clean it got my floors - for about the first half-hour I used it, then it quit spraying the cleaning solution. I have a very large house with lots of sealed hardwood and tile and need something that will clean ground in grime off the floors. Years ago, my mother had a carpet/floor scrubber that had 2 revolving scrub pads and could also be used to buff floors. I think it was a Sunbeam. Does anyone know of something similar that you would reccommend?
Sorry.. I don't know but I have a Hoover Floor Mate with the scrubbing brushes that I've had for 6 years. I love that machine.. It works so good. Would it be possible for you to exhcange yours and try another one?... Or perhaps call them to see if they have any ideas of what the problem could be?....
Sorry yours was a clunker jannie. But for anyone reading that has one or is considering one, you can use any cleaner in it. They usually include theirs in the box, but the manual says you can use any liquid floor cleaner in it. When I run out of the bottles that came with mine (bought at Costco, it came w/6 bottles of dif. cleaning fluids-yay Costco!), I'm planning to use regular Mr. Clean for the linoleum & diluted oil soap on the wood floors.
This post was edited by jomuir on Thu, Nov 29, 12 at 10:46
Well...I sent the Floormate back and went out and bought a Hoover MaxExtract 77, which is supposed to be a multi-floor cleaner. Paid $389.00 for the thing and after I read the blurbs on the box, was very excited that it would work even better - until I tried it last night on my hardwood floor in the kitchen. It has a squeegy thingy on the extractor nozzle that is supposed to suck up nearly all the water and leave the floor almost dry. So far, so good, until it put down a huge puddle of water on the forward stroke and only sucked up about half of it, no matter how many times I went over it. It was a huge amount of water and solution to put down on a hardwood floor and I ended up having to use a towel to get the rest of the water off the floor. The scrubbing brushes also badly streaked the floor. Not happy! If I have to use a towel to blot the water off the floor, then I don't need a $389 floor cleaner! Huge bummer.....
After much colorful language and frustration at my disappointment to what I thought was the answer to my floor cleaning prayers, I got out my trusty Rubbermaid Reveal spray mop and microfiber pad, mixed up some PolyClean solution for the spray bottle, and went to town. I let the floor airdry and then got out my Bona mop and went over it again with the Bona spray. It was clean, shiny and looked great. I haven't solved the situation with my tile floors yet, but I think I'll be taking the Hoover MaxExtract back today and scrubbing them by hand until I find something that works better. I wish Dyson made a hardfloor/carpet cleaner. If they did, it would work as well as their vaccuums! I have two - the Animal 41 and a smaller canister vac for cleaning my hard floors and stairs and love them both. I use them instead of the whole house vac with hide-a-hose that we installed then we built this house 3 yrs ago. Maybe I'll send a letter to Mr Dyson with a suggestion for his next project!
sounds like this cleaner isn't best for your floors. I use mine on lino mostly. Man, I'd hate to do so many steps as you described! Hopefully you'll find something you can do them in one pass.
The only trick I have on this cleaner, is to go slowly on the removing water step. I really creep it along, and it picks up well for me, but again, this is on lino, not wood. On our wood floors, it doesn't suck up water as well, the water goes into the natural grooves in the grain, and does leave it damp.
db, thanks for the oil soap info, I need to look at the manual again I see! Don't want to ruin the rubber seals. I also use Mr. Clean or Spic & Span liquid, diluting w/water.
I had the Hoover Max extract but only ever used it on carpet on which it worked great. I think it would be WAY too much water for hardwood!
I have a Bissell Powerfresh steam mop to clean hard floors, I love this thing. It sucks the dirt right out of your floor, no need for scrubbers. It does come with a pad that has little scrubbers in case you need extra cleaning/stuck on messes.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bissell Powerfresh!
After using a steam mop for six months, it died. I went and bought a Hoover Floormate. This machine works so much better than the steam mop. I don't use the vacuum part, but use a dust mop first. I have two dogs who shed continuously. Washing the floor is so easy, and when you pull back the machine, it picks up some water. If you change the dial to dry, it leaves the floor almost dry. It dries so quickly, that you can walk on it right away. The only problem I have with it, is the clean water tank. It only holds a quart of water and cleaning solution. Same for the dirty water container. It does half my kitchen before I have to refill it. No problem for me, because i have an island in the middle. I think maybe first time users are keeping their finger on the trigger that releases the cleaning solution. You squeeze the trigger going forward, and then release when pulling back on machine. My floormate is definitely a keeper.
I agree. The first one I had was defective, so I returned it and got another one. I LOVE it and it's worked perfectly. With a house full of hardwood and a dog and a cat, it's one of the best things I ever bought. Cuts my floor cleaning time by 2/3.
My neighbor also purchased the hoover floormate. After a few uses it also died. I had been considering buying one. Not now. We have hardwood floors in every room, tile in the kitchens and bathrooms. I just use a regular old fashioned dust mop and a dry mop for cleaning the hard wood floors. Sponge type mop for the tiled floors. Regular vacuuming also helps. I still don't think the hard wood floors are as clean as they should be. Any suggestions?

Educational authorities have been informed to take steps to change school and college timings to 7.30 a.m. and 8 a.m. respectively, instead of the existing timings, as part of efforts to prevent footboard travel accidents, the transport department, submitted before the Madras High Court on Friday.
When a suo motu petition relating to the Kandanchavadi accident on December 10 — in which four students on an MTC bus footboard were caught between the bus and a lorry — came up for further hearing before the First Bench, principal secretary, transport, Braj Kishore Prasad, in an action-taken report, said the MTC had been directed to post trained and experienced crew in buses plying on routes where frequent accidents occurred.
Further, MTC, had been directed to conduct meetings with drivers and conductors to educate them in tackling troublesome students. The city traffic police also filed a report.
The Bench adjourned the matter to January 17 to enable the authorities to produce a copy of the information received with regard to the decision taken at a meeting conducted by the government to prevent footboard travel.
Keywords: MTC, road safety, school timings, college timings

Living on the edge, you sometimes fall off!
Ok, we visited one of those amazingly beautiful beaches that Brazil is known for. A lot of this trip was inspired by "Y Tu Mama Tambien." I won't ruin the movie story, if you haven't seen it, but the characters are "finding themselves" on a road-trip. I am also trying to "find myself" or maybe "lose myself" a bit on this trip. I ...
Maragogi beauty
Finaly, the Maragogi day arrived. And it started really early.
Due to the tie, the best time to go to the Natural Pools were at early morning, 7.30 am. Since we were 150 km away, we had to get up at 5 am.
We woke up like zombies believing that it was a worth sacrifice.
And we get in the car and drove... For two hours. We saw the brazilian morning way ...
23rd-27th September
... coming in the water got deeper and visibility was poor so we went back to the beach and spent the day chilling by the pool! The last day we took one final trip to the beach for a dip before we had to leave all too soon. Sao Miguel Dos Milagres is a sleepy town with some of the most spectacular beaches and wildlife we have seen. We wish we could keep it a secret but notice even now more Pousada's being built. We hope to come back one day and see it remain unspoilt as it is ...
As far North as we could go
... the whole journey hugged the deserted coast and it looked exactly like we imagined it to.
Maragogi is a small fishing town, with a long sweeping beach with a row of shops and restaurants backing the sand. It's normally popular with Brazilians but as we had noticed with most places post carnival, it was very quiet.
We found a really cheap (cheap for Brazil anyway) pousada to stay in, one with our own mini fridge stocked with snacks, bonus! As money was tight we ...
I was just curious
On the day after, I wanted to go to Recife but stopping along the coast at Porto de Galinhas. Rita recommended me to go there. Readin the advice from the book, I ended by a gas station where I was supposed to find a vehicle to get to my destination. There was only a kind of taxi who offered me to go to Maragogi and told there was no direct transportation to Porto de Galinhas from there. I really looked like a tourist ...

I had time to play 1 game today. So I get in the game and see that all my opponents took "promote" as a summoner skill. Needless to say, after 5 minutes of play, they had destroyed the entire middle lane.
I tried to surrender, but had to wait 10 more minutes of RETARDED game play before I could. Here's my suggestion. Either reduce surrender to 0 minutes -- because I'll surrender immediately when I see all 5 opponents have promote -- or nerf promote (my suggestion - 20 minute cooldown).
This game was a joke. There was literally NOTHING we could do to stop it. Please fix this. And to the guys who think this game is fun like that (and wasted 15 min of my life) EFF YOU.
Senior Member
That might have been us. This game's still in beta, and it's our responsibility to test out every possible strategy for imbalances. If 5x Promote really is imbalanced, then find four people and test it out yourself.
In my experiences playing it, it's an all-in strategy that requires perfect timing and coordination to work properly. If the defending team can successfully repel it, they're way ahead in kills by the time the dust settles. If the Promote team gets even one inhibitor, then you're in trouble.
Ways of countering it that I know of off the top of my head: AoEs, Smite, Nunu, Fortify.
When this game comes out, if 5x Promote is balanced, then there will be a metagame emerging to beat it. It's a pretty well-known strategy.
I gotta agree. This is still beta after all, so finding and testing gross imbalances should actually be encouraged.
Hum... is the same with almost all summoner abilities if a team can planify it in advance... 5 clairvoyances (before nerf) to make almost impossible to gank anyone, 5 resurrections to make impossible to stop the push (they can push a lane without fear), 5 teleports to make a surprise attack anywhere, 5 smites to kill dragon at level 1 very fast... IMHO the imbalance is created by a very good team making something well coordinated and planned in advance...
Anyway, as you said, this is a beta, so maybe promote should be nerfed as boost and clairvoyance before... lets try this kind of things, is much better to find them now than after the release...
The way you counter the 5x promote is tower hug, focus on the promoted units and ignore their champions. The tower will attack their champions if they try to attack your champions while you bring down the promoted units. 5x promote is only highly effective the first and 2nd pushes due to the fact that most champions will have enough Ap/dps to bring down the promoted units quite quickly.
When an entire team gets promote, they sacrifice getting summoner skills that are more geared to combat, and your team will have that as an advantage in a fight. Gank their heros often when they are not using the 5x promote push.
Until all arranged teams are only fighting arranged teams, it is kind of irrelevant that five organized players can beat five randoms.
You probably would have had a better shot stopping the push if you guys didn't come at us one at a time.
5 man promote is fail!

Thanks for any help.
You made the right choice, in my opinion. A Tac officer in a Dreadnought with escort setup i.e. Phaser DHC + Quantum torp fore, Phaser turrets rear, with properly associated consoles and bodda skills, can out-dps everyone in STF's except the occasional exceptionally well set up and skilled escort captain, as long as you're bringing a certain amount of flying skills to the table as well and are using keybinds. I routinely farm back-to-back prototype borg salvage in elites with this setup, and am generally pumping out about 30% - 35% of the overall dps in any give STF elite pug (for the record, I can send parsed combat logs to anyone who requires confirmation of this).
The only issue with the dreadnought is that this setup does not translate well to pvp, where you're better off switching over to all beam array + torps, again with the properly associated consoles + skills.
In addition to the Galaxy-X, I fly an MVAE and more recently a Defiant-R. I find the escorts translate better between pve and pvp with any given setup, and by far my favourite between the two escorts at this point is the Defiant retrofit. It's a tossup between the Defiant-R and the Galaxy-X as far as which is my favourite, they're both a blast to fly with a proper setup and each takes very different tactics in order to be effective. The MVAE is, in a word, meh.

Respond to Review of Pure Cafe
by itzjac
Review: We ate here twice on our recent trip to Tokyo. We found it pretty easy to find and when I saw it was located next to Aveda skin and hair products I was even more excited as I love these natural products! The cafe is nice and clean with a great ambience and lots of great take-away vegan snacks. They serve lunch sets and we had the sandwich plate one with veggies, the other falafel - the falafel one was better. The creamy soup was delicious and we had second serves each! We also ordered the grain plate and it was really good even though just a bit too cold - could have done with heating up, or at least room temp - maybe better if you went there in summer? Service was friendly and fast and overall was a good experience, I would recommend going if you are in the area :) Also the whole menu is in English, and it was the only place in Japan we went where we weren't given chopsticks - only proper cutlery.

Pretty well written with good narration. Not really much new here. Uses "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailor", and Ugaki's diary "Fading Victory" as the primary sources, so if you have read them then pass on this. "Fading Victory" is a very good read and a must-have for any Pacific War buff, but it is not available in audio format.

Havent read all post, at work on cell phone, how dodge works read this previously but havent done the math myself
Say you have 30% dodge from dex, so mobs have a 70% chance to hit
Then you add path ofthe guardian 15% dodge
15% of the mobs 70% chance to hit you 10.5ish? So you now have a 40.5% chance to dodge, mobs a 59.f% chance to hit you, MoE 15% of the mobs 59.5% chance to hit ....... And so on
But from what I understand the passive that gives us 30% dodge from our crit is additive so it would add a flat rate to dodge 30.52% would become 39.52% if you had 30% crit
Posts: 4,668View profile
It's maybe for a fun build, and yes, this pretty much.. somewhat fails on 1 on 1 situation.
It's more of a dungeon crawling build or those you use when you go out killing elites and not bosses :)
If you'd be stacking Crit Chance with this one, ASPD for sure, go for Cyclone rune of Sweeping, you'll see that you are dealing WAY more damage when those small tornadoes of hell comes popping out. 40% Crit on a 2.5-3.0 ASPD, you'd see them multiplying like horny rabbits.

So Sixth Sense is additive instead of multiplicative? If it doesn't suffer from diminishing returns could it put a Monk's dodge chance up around 75% with 33% crit and procs?

While I'm still not sure about the viability of such a build, I did the math just to see what sort of dodge chances could be achieved. This is just preliminary work, and there's a lot more to go into before we can make a determination as to whether or not this build is viable.
This involves stacking every single source of dodge available to a monk (if I've missed any, please let me know):
-Guardian's Path
-Sixth Sense
-FoT (Lighting Flash)
-DS (Blinding Speed)
-CS (Wall of Wind)
-MoE Activation
The numbers I've obtained make a few assumptions:
-A crit chance of ~33.33%
-The fact that (apparently) Sixth Sense is an additive source of dodge, and not multiplicative. I'd like to test this to be sure, but it does make sense (no pun intended); this ability being multiplicative would make it the worst ability in the game hands down.
Now for the numbers.
First we have what I'll call "passive dodge". Provided you always keep MoE up, this is your chance to dodge without using any abilities, including FoT:
Not bad. Next we've got what I'll call "combat dodge". This is simply passive dodge plus the dodge from FoT (Lighting Flash). I consider this an important value because:
1. As a spirit generator, this requires no spirit
2. There may be situations where it would be unwise or unviable to use other dodge providing abilities even when spirit is adequate
Even better!
Finally, let's look at the best case scenario where you have Blinding Speed, Wall of Wind, and the MoE activation buff all up simultaneously:
Hot damn!
Now before anybody starts thinking that this is something truly powerful, I have some serious reservations about this, some of which have already been brought forth in this thread:
-Some sources of severe damage cannot be dodged, period.
-Even though the vast majority of things can be dodged, in the absolute best case scenario, you're still gonna eat roughly 1 out of every 10 attacks. It's much more likely that, most of the time, you're going to get hit by 3 out of 10 dodgeable attacks. Please remember, that your actual dodge chance is necessarily less than your listed dodge, due to the fact that you are fighting mobs that are greater than level 60.
These two issues combined with ridiculously high monster damage, in my opinion, relegate dodge to a supplemental defensive stat. Simply put, dodge is only good if it doesn't come at the expense of taking fatal damage when you don't dodge. Because of the random nature of dodge, you can have a reverse "Like Water", even with exceptionally high dodge.
With that being said, I'd still be interested to see such a build tested. Provided you can hit a baseline level of damage reduction while still maintaining all this dodge, this could be a very formidable way to play a monk.
I know the OP talked a bit about using such a build with MoE - Backlash. Simply put, I think Backlash is a really underpowered ability. I say this mostly because it competes with Hard Target, which is ridiculously good. And the fact that Backlash merely has a chance to proc on a dodge makes it even worse than it seems. I'd be interested to see it tested, but it just really seems like a junk rune in my opinion.
Evasion builds are nice.
I have 60% evasion when my mantra is active. That's without adding the evasion bonus from lightning flash.
I crushed Act II with this build.
I don't focus my whole build around dodge. I had a couple upgrades since Act II.
Atm I'm sitting at 24k dps 7-8k armor 280-360 all resists and 47k hp.
When I get hit I don't die. I can actually take a lot of hits. Loh helps a bit too.
I tried Backlash once, its pretty cool. Hardtarget is just so nice though, hard to give up.

The stupid instant kill stuff like getting vortex into a laser/molten/plagued pile or having a laser spawn on you is all undodgable.

Sixth sense is multiplicative `_`
You can dodge Arcane. Even with a lot of dodge, its not like the only thing you will have is dodge. That's just stupid.
I have 47k hp 6-7k armor 240-360 in all resists (give or take some) and 24k dps.
I was messing around in Act III today. Just did the first quest, didn't have to skip any elites and died 2-3 times.
I'm just trying to farm Act II some while progressing in Act III. I like to take my game experience at my own pace. XD
All I'm saying is a build built around some Evasion does work, I'm doing it and been doing it. I owned up Act II with ease with this build. The little time I spent in Act III I feel like I'm going to have a good time.
I want to be able to go more offensive, but my gear just doesn't give me that option atm. I wouldn't be able to survive the hits. =(
My build. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#ajXgYh!YXd!Zcbaca
I didnt read any of these posts hardly, but for what its worth, I used Backlash when farming inferno act 1. It is really good if you've got over 50% dodge. It procs 99% of the time, and has no cooldown. In big packs I could literally stand there and all the melee mobs around me would melt away almost instantly with out me even attacking.

theres no diminishing returns on dodge itself. the tooltips just confuse people.
Example: MoE 15%
say your base dodge is 20% that means out of 100 attacks 80 would land w/o MoE. with MoE you dodge 15% MORE attacks. 15% of 80 is 12. therefore with MoE you'd get hit with 68 attacks out of 100. you're dodge would read out 32% on char sheet in this example with MoE.
Note: the passive sixth sense is additive to your dodge% which makes it a great passive even though it doesn't look like it.
hello again, at home this time, i checked out sixth sense and it is NOT additive, it is multiplied
Actually, we can't dodge arcane. I tested it in normal act 1 with 40%+ dodge chance running thru arcane many time, yet not able to dodge it.
We can dodge frozen, the horror's body explosion, "fire bomb" that's dropped by the dying mobs, and etc that has an aoe ties to it. I'm not sure about the wasps' lil bugs since I tend to avoid the lil bugs spewed by the wasps.
sure you can dodge arcane ... just run around it :)
Frost can be dodged.
As for the OP - The way your total dodge% is calculated it is mathematically impossible to reach 100% dodge. In fact, it isn't even realistically possible to get beyond 75% dodge. Dexterity, for example, has diminished returns as it applies to dodge. Other buffs that are added are multiplicative.

And again, just to reinforce the point. Sixth Sense is NOT Additive. It is Multiplicative. This is easily tested out by every single monk level 27 or higher.
Are you in town?
Note your dodge chance.
Note your crit chance.
Change one passive to Sixth Sense.
Backlash can easily do more damage then Sweeping Winds. And you may not have noticed but the % weapon damage that Backlash does is dependent on weapon speed. Faster weapons do a higher % (of a usually lower) weapon damage. Sweeping winds does not change damage % dependent on weapon speed (but may tick faster?). I personally run with 1.43 attack speed (yes I know, terribly slow) and backlash hits for 50% weapon damage. If I swap to a slower weapon 1.31, it drops down to 46%. Doing a little plotting with a bunch of different weapon speeds it seems like Backlash does 35% of your weapon damage, times your attack speed. So if you have a 3.0 attack speed it would do 105% weapon damage.
Edit: Cleaned up the following math a little.
It is hard to compare Sweeping Winds and Backlash because it is hard to fix monster attack speed. If we assume they attack at 0.5 (once every 2 seconds) then you would need 6.7ish mobs (assuming you have a 50% chance to dodge) for them to break even. Switching the monster attack speed up to 1.0 changes the break point to half that, or about 3.3ish. This is regardless of your attack speed, because Backlash takes into account weapon speed and I am assuming Sweeping Winds ticks based on your attack speed as well.

Science fiction lovers from across the globe made a stop in Madison this weekend for a one-of-a-kind event.
The 37th Wis-Con, the state's largest feminist science-fiction convention, took place at the Madison Concourse Hotel Friday through Monday.
Many attendees return year after year for the community to discuss ideas related to the book-oriented side of the genre and feminism.
A hot topic this year, attendees said, was whether or not themes in the George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire," series known to viewers of the HBO TV adaptation as simply "Game of Thrones," are feminist forward or not.
More than 50 area artists and organizations got a cut of $91,775 in funding earmarked for cultural programs, city representatives said.
At its May 21 meeting, the Madison Common Council approved the recommendations of the Madison Arts Commission to award 56 of Madison's artists and non-profit organizations.
The commission said more than 90 percent of funding applicants received a grant, which MAC chair Leslee Nelson described as seed money.
"Especially for new projects, even a small amount of funding provides an endorsement that groups use to find additional resources required," Nelson said in a news release.
The projects funded ranged from theatrical productions, dance and ballet programs, musical instruction at various schools, and more.
For a list of the 56 organizations and projects, visit the City of Madison website.
By 5:30 p.m. the parking lot at 2045 Atwood Ave. was full.
Madison residents of all ages packed into Forward Community Investments' headquarters for a culinary and visual feast.
The FCI event on April 17, called Articulture, showcased the intersection of food and art. Many chefs consider their culinary creations to be art. Carefully selected ingredients meld to produce a specific taste and expertly designed presentation turns a food dish into a masterpiece.
More than 20 restaurants and 14 artists from around southern Wisconsin participated in Articulture to celebrate the visual and community-building aspects of sustainable agriculture.
New book by Madison author and editor strives to help others "wake up happy"
The Madison Masonic Lodge will be hosting its annual art show and wine tasting Saturday, May 18 at 7:00p.m.The event will be held at the Madison Masonic Center at 301 Wisconsin Ave.
This is the second annual event of its kind for the Masonic Center. Tickets are $20 at the door and all proceeds will go to the Madison Lodge community efforts.
The 21-plus event will have live music and local wines as well as art from Madison area artists.
'Listen to Your Mother' founded by Madison blogger, humorist
A Mother's Day-themed production will feature local writers discussing the "real experience" of motherhood in their own words.
Fourteen local women will take the stage at the Barrymore Theatre Sunday for a performance the "Listen to Your Mother" group calls "giving Mother's Day a microphone."
Listen to Your Mother is a live show with Madison-area writers reading their words founded by Ann Imig, a Madison blogger who describes herself online as a "stay-at-home humorist."
Tickets are $15 with a portion of proceeds supporting the Domestic Abuse Intervention Services, a Madison-based non-profit organization working against domestic violence.
The South African musical collective, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, will perform at the Barrymore Theatre June 18.
The group has performed for more than 50 years. Its distinctive style combines the harmonies of native South African musical tradition and the sounds of Christian gospel music.
The group was founded by Joseph Shabalala in the early 1960s, taking the names of his rural hometown, Ladysmith; adding a reference to strong oxen, black; and the Zulu word for axe, Mambazo.
Tickets are available online through the Barrymore website.

Letter: Thanks to those who helped to make someone's dream come true
I would like to let the community of Detroit Lakes know what a great community we live in.
A gentleman, who lives in one of our homes and has lived in Detroit Lakes 28 years, was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors have given him a short amount of time. He has such a love of motorcycles. So we were able to find Don Holthe and Shelly Fingalson, who have a motorcycle with a sidecar and were willing to give him a ride.
