Persuasive Puffery
2014, Marketing Science
Archishman Chakraborty, Rick Harbaugh
Abstract: Sellers often make claims about product strengths without providing evidence. Even though such claims are mere puffery, we show that they can be credible because talking up any one strength comes at the implicit tradeoff of not talking up another potential strength. Puffery pulls in buyers who value product attributes that are talked up or emphasized, while pushing away other buyers who infer that the attributes they value are not the product's strengths. When the initial probability of a sale is low there are more potential buyers to pull in than to push away so puffery is persuasive. This persuasiveness requires some buyer privacy about their preferences so that the seller does not completely pander to them. More generally the results show how cheap talk by an expert to a decision maker can be credible and persuasive in standard discrete choice models used throughout marketing and economics.

There is only so much you can say in 2+ hours. That was the case at Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference keynote on Monday as the technology company highlighted the many changes and upgrades to their mobile OS, iOS 7 along with other Mac software and hardware announcements. What was left out though? What did Apple not talk about that you have to look forward to? Below are a few highlights from the b-roll:
Spotlight from Any Screen: No more taking the long swipe journey to the far left to access Spotlight, the iOS search feature. Now users simply need to swipe down on any home screen in the general center of the screen and the search feature will appear.
Inclinometer: Another app bites the dust with Apple embracing an inclinometer (measures tilt, think a level…that thing with the bubble in it) in its compass app. Level apps will have to step up their game for user attention…however you do that with a level app.
Turn by Turn Walking Directions: Tired of the Maps app telling you to take the I-95 when you don't have a car and simply want to walk? Well, with iOS 7, built in walking instructions will be available for "at your own risk" pleasure.
Those are just a few of the gems to be featured in iOS 7. You can read about more of them here.
Are there any features you wanted that you got? Any that you are still longing for? Sound off in the comments.

Scott Thurston is like musical glue.
Whether it's his acoustic guitar strumming on "Yer So Bad" or "Runnin' Down A Dream," his intertwining electric guitar on "I Should Have Known It" with Mike Campbell, or his high harmony vocals on songs like "I Won't Back Down" and "Here Comes My Girl," the Heartbreakers' multi-instrumentalist on stage left does it all, always tastefully providing whatever is needed to best serve the song.
Sunday night's show in Alpharetta was just another example of Scott's integral role in this band, beginning with his vocals on the band's cover of the Traveling Wilburys' "Handle with Care." Filling the shoes of the late great Roy Orbison is a monumental undertaking in and of itself, but Scott nails the Texas troubadour's part in the Wilburys' classic night in and night out, always eliciting a wide smile from Tom and the rest of the band. On "Takin' My Time," Scott's harmonica playing provides a crucial foil to Tom's slow growl and the dirge-like blues played by the rest of the band. On Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man," his harp takes center stage, sparing with Mike Campbell's lead riffs before the song explodes like a church tent revival.

Comments about Diamondback Podium 6 Ultegra Bike 2013:
An AMAZING deal from Jenson.
I bought this bike at a slight discount because it was used to help veterans.
I thought I'd get a USED (read here beaten into the ground, scratched, dented two wheel mess)
What I got was THE most beautiful bicycle (I like old school with basic colors not flaahy gawdy stuff) I know of in this $2000 price range.
The bike has very sharp lines to it. The headset is angled as if you're going to do ONE lap around the oval and sit...it is sharp. This makes the bike much stiffer and twitchy relative to what it could have been with more relaxed lines. Former ride was a Schwinn Peloton with Ultegra and 853 steel (sweet) . One bike is a Cadillac the other a Formula One (I exaggerate to make a point).
But the Diamondback is so much quicker off the jump. I weigh 230lbs and can bend a frame with mybig thighs and arms. My Peloton I'd have to "load" before it would respond. I'd stand to sprint up a hill or to catch someone and there was a moment when the bottom brake would sway and then come back-a VERY compliant bike. It made me a hair slower accelarating but the comfort in the long haul was amazing. No wonder most custom leisure riders pick 853 steel for custom bikes...easy to workwith too.
Enough about the old..Bring in the new!!
The Diamonback is a jet. There is NO sway, no give. It is STIFF. I had a slight hesititancy to keep it, it was so twitchy and stiff. I found I really had to pay attention to the bike at first.
Over days I settled in and found the bike a joy. What it looses in its twichiness and stiffness it makes up in responsiveness. And the 54 fit me better than my56 cm Peloton. I'm 6 feet tall with a 34inch inseam. I found myself absolutely still on the Diamndback. Where the Peloton I was movinh back and forth trying to find a comfortable position.
THAT is the importance of fit. Fit is judged by the riders height but more importantly their leg and torsi length and the length of the bikes top tube. The Diamondback is pretty "squared" up. It doesnt have a long top tube as many of the Italian bjkes do.
If the bike had a fork with curve to it to absorb shock it would feel more comfortable and would have better characteriTics. As it is, it BEGS ti be ridder in a criterium. But I'm used to it now and I ride with more confidence and feel more in control due to better FIT.
Of course the FULL Ultegra works like a charm. It DOOESNT have a carbon searpost!!-ALUMINUM. But thats easy to replace and for many you'd want some offser to the seatpost to soften the ride.
The bike came shipped on time and FREE shipping. It was wrapped like the Hope diamamond. Jenson knows what theyre doing. A few adjustments and I was off.
Weighing 230lbs and living in the pothole capital of the world-Minneapolis, Minneasota I appreciate a strong wheels. My old wheels were Mavic CXP14. The wheel has a deep aero rim and are HEAVY. I NEVER adjusted them in 13 years of riding..HARD riding of two hours/day. I looked at the Easton wheels with reluctance because spoke count is lower with 10 speed in the back not 9 like my old bike. But after going through TWO massive potholes and not noticing any change in the Eastons I give them "thumbs up" for strength even though they are slightly heavy compared to some models.
The saddle is the biggest let down on this bike.
But who ever likes the stock saddle They should not even put one on like they do pedals.
I LOVE this bike. Finally, I did seap out the beautiful (but too narrow for my 46inch chest) handlebar. The Easton is a beauty though too narrow at 44cm and too much drop for me. The cranks are the cats meow!!.
My TREK hyper expensive for the name you buy, ALUMINUM frame owning TREK friends are way jealous. But I'm sure TREKS #1 cheat appreciates suckas buying those expensive bikes he endorsed.
ME??..I'll save my money, get a BETTER bike and make my own name.
Someone want to buy a sadde and a hanebar?!.
The rest of the bike???....well, go get your own I'm keeping THIS one!.

San Antonio, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Tim Duncan is on board for making a run at a sixth NBA championship.
The legendary San Antonio Spurs forward has decided to exercise the option on his contract for the upcoming 2014-15 season, the team announced Monday.
Speculation had existed that the 38-year-old Duncan was considering retirement following the Spurs' ousting of the Miami Heat in the recent NBA Finals. But according to a Yahoo! Sports report released earlier Monday, the two-time league MVP will instead revisit his playing future after next season.
Duncan, who is scheduled to earn $10.3 million in the final year of his current deal, has remained a highly effective player in the twilight of his career. The 14-time All-Star averaged 15.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks over 74 regular-season games in 2013-14, helping the Spurs to the franchise's fifth NBA title since 1999.
During San Antonio's latest championship run, Duncan averaged 16.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists while starting all 23 playoff games.
The No. 1 overall pick of the 1997 NBA Draft, Duncan has spent his entire 17- year career with San Antonio and is the Spurs' all-time leader in games played (1,254), points (24,904) and rebounds (13,940).
Duncan is one of five players, along with Hall of Famers Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, to win five NBA titles and five MVP awards for either the regular season or the league Finals.

Schalk Burger always knew he would return to the game after his career-threatening neck injury.
Speaking in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale Wednesday, the Bok flank said he'd put his faith in his doctors, and not the media.
"Reading those articles in the press did nothing for my confidence, and I remember being very scared and nervous before the operation. But I knew I'd be all right, having spoken to a couple of doctors who had assessed my injury and assured me the operation would be a success."
Burger also explains what he did with himself during his time away from the game, and what he wants to achieve in 2007.

We have been chopping off the tops of Champagne bottles as fast as we can drink them- who needs a stopper when you are ready to commit to finishing the bottle! One of our favorites was this magnum ($84.99) of Franck Bonville Brut Rosé that Mellyn expertly decapitated on Christmas Eve. It also comes in regular 750ml ($39.99) and half bottles ($21.99). Olivier Bonville adds 8% Pinot Noir Rouge from Ambonnay superstar Paul Dethune to his top class assembelage of grand cru, estate Chardonnay to create this fabulous rose. This is one of the most elegant, bright, refreshing rose Champagnes that we carry, yet it does not lack red cherry Pinot Noir authority. We can't get enough- bring another to the block!

8 Tips For Combatting Lice
Welcome to our guide to Back-to-School Success: 31 days of tips, apps, recipes, and more to help you make this your family's best school year yet. Today, day 19, is about dealing with lice.
Got an itch? With school in full swing and tots sharing everything from nap mats to brushes and hats, lice outbreaks are as common as scraped knees at the playground. While a lice diagnosis used to mean automatic sidelining until a little one was bug (and larva) free, the American Academy of Pediatrics' updated position now advises kids to attend school and camp, even if they are infested. We've rounded up eight ways to keep the annoying little bugs at bay throughout the year.

|Introduction | Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 lens performance | Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 versus competition | Conclusion
Here are three possible candidates for "standard" zoom:
Their Scores:
On the face of Sharpness the Tamron looks good: 10P-Mpix is just higher than the Sigma.
Both the independent lenses beat the Canon which scores just 7P-Mpix.
Tamron lens does do very well, but it is far less consistant: at its best it just beats the other two but wide open it has to be at 50mm to win and stopped down it really falls apart.
The Sigma on the other hand maintains a similar result throughout the range of focal lengths and does better at retaining quality stopped down.
The DxOMark choice:
The first point is that the Canon is not as good. It's slower by a full stop over the Sigma and it lacks the sharpness of the other two.
The Tamron will probably produce the nicest results at its optimum aperture and focal length but the Sigma will come close and just beats the Tamron overall.
Additionally the Sigma is cheaper, lighter by 100g, zooms out to 70mm instead of 50mm and offers a greater degree of magnification for Macro: 1:2.9 against the Tamron's 1:4.8.
It is good to see when companies introduce an updated version of an existing product and it shows a real improvement. Sigma has had a 17-70mm macro zoom lens in its range since 2006. Initially it had no image stabilisation and the AF was not Hyper-Sonic, but physically it looked very like the new version. Version two had the IS and HSM but was quite a bit heavier. The progress in quality has been good, P-Mpix has risen by one point each time and the overall score has climbed two point each time. The original version had less distortion than the subsequent models but the distortion is really not a serious issue with this lens anyway.
A final brief comparison with the Flagship 'standard' APS-C zoom lenses from Nikon and Canon, admittedly these are really marketed to a different sector but the figures are quite sobering. Both companies produce f2.8 lenses with a 17-55mm range, both have a price tag twice that of the Sigma, both are much heavier and larger (quite understandably given their faster aperture). However the Sigma from a quality point of view is as good as the Canon and better than the Nikkor. If it is not essential to have the fixed f2.8 aperture then the Sigma lens is really the best value here.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
The Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM is a premium fast 'normal' zoom for APS-C SLRs, which is designed as an upgrade for photographers who have outgrown the 'kit' zooms typically supplied with camera bodies. It was announced at Photokina 2012, as the first lens in Sigma's new 'Contemporary' category of compact general-purpose zooms for everyday photography. It's a successor to a near identically-named lens from December 2009, the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM, but is smaller and lighter, uses revised optics, and has a new cosmetic design. Prior to this Sigma made the unstabilised 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC, a lens which was very highly regarded in its time.

Regarding three versions of Sigma 17-70
I'm a Nikon user, and got my Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 (first version) when bought my D300.
I was really happy and amazed of how sharp could be that lens, and even I got the Nikon 16-85 VR only to sell it some time later because I liked way more the microcontrast and clarity of the Sigma.
Then the 17-70 OS version showed up, and being so happy with the first version I bought this OS one. But I was shocked because results weren't so good. Tried three copies, and below 35-50 mm field curvature was really a problem even at f/8: focus on the center and get blurried sides, focus on sides and get blurried center. It was so heavy that I almost couldn't believe it, but I was seeing it... A couple of years ago I could test a new sample from a friend that didn't show that field curvature (???), but anyway results weren't that good, my old 2.8-4.5 was still better on corners closing at f/5.6 than the OS at f/8.
And now here comes this C version, and again I'm quite excited about it. Well, not that much now, because when comparing measurements of the three versions at 17 and 24 mm I can see that the first one still delivers sharp corners, but not so the OS nad C versions.
Can wait for real samples, but I have liked to see something different at the wide end in the corners.

Fountain Valley, CA – The Fountain Valley Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint on Friday September 21st, 2012, between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. The location of the checkpoint will be made available the day of the checkpoint by contacting the police department.
The Department is continuing its ongoing campaign to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes. DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as bring awareness to our community of the dangers of impaired driving.
Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have resulted in 83 injury crashes harming 107 of our friends and neighbors. Everyone can assist in preventing this crime from ever occurring. If you are planning a gathering or celebration with alcohol included, or if you are out on the town, plan ahead and designate a non-drinking sober driver.
A DUI arrest costs upwards of $10,000, time in jail and the loss or your driver's license, including years of increased insurance rates. Alcohol impaired deaths make up the largest category of overall vehicle fatalities, with 29 percent of all deaths caused by a drunk driver. A DUI checkpoint is a proven effective method to lower these numbers. Additionally, drivers will be checked to ensure that they have a valid driver's license.
Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Remember, everyone is encouraged to help keep our roadways safe; Report Drunk Drivers – Call 911!
MEDIA NOTES: To schedule an interview regarding the Fountain Valley Traffic Safety Operations, please contact Lt. Rob Sweaza at (714)593-4529 or via email at email@example.com. To schedule an interview regarding impaired driving efforts and programs in California please contact Chris Cochran, California Office of Traffic Safety at (916) 509-3063 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Pinellas County Schools Superintendent Visits All Children's Hospital
With a $1.33 billion dollar budget, the Pinellas County School District is the largest employer in Pinellas County with more than 16,000 employees serving more than 101,000 pre-K through 12th-grade students. The PCS District is seventh largest in the state and the 26th largest in the nation. As Dr. Grego shared an abbreviated version of the District's Strategic Plan with the hospital's Advocacy Council, he identified the following as its five strategic goals: increase student achievement, ensure an effective use of curriculum, provide a safe and caring learning environment, improved fiscal responsibility, and provide quality technology and business services.
"When you only have 6 to 6.5 hours to work with, teaching and learning doesn't stop at the end of the school day," said Dr. Grego. To that end, Ms. Matway reported on the various programs-extended learning, summer, after school and weekend-that exist for continued teaching and learning efforts. Through its Connect for Success initiative, 4,000 laptops were purchased with Title 1 funding to enable third-and fourth-graders at 36 Title I elementary schools to check out laptop computers for use at home. The initiative aims to provide economically challenged students with equal access to technology to support their learning outside of class.
On a corporate level, through the Executive PASS (Partnership to Advance Student Success) program, 21 business partners have been matched with underperforming schools to boost student achievement through mentoring, resources and business expertise. While the urgent need for parent engagement persists, Ms. Matway also reported on the Parent Academies - help sessions for parents - that have become active in St. Petersburg.
The hospital's partnerships with Pinellas County Schools has encompassed addressing childhood obesity and nutrition through Fit4AllKids and injury prevention through the SafeKids program. Led by Cindy Rose, Vice President of Marketing and Community Relations, and Amy Maguire, Vice President of Corporate and Government Relations, members of the Advocacy Council were eager to explore further collaborations with the superintendent, including items that focused on chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes and obesity, homebound patients, and students returning to the classroom after experiencing a concussion.
Dr. Grego and Ms. Matway wrapped up their visit with a hospital tour. Their stops included the Emergency Center and a visit to the NICU with its director Cindy Driscoll.

gateway all-in-one shuts off
by cowsgomoo29 - 12/27/12 3:46 PM
I have a Gateway All-in-One PC. When we leave the computer idle for a while and come back to it, when we wiggle the mouse to turn the screen back on the computer shuts off.
There are no power saving options set.
The computer has been cleaned to make sure it was not overheating and it isn't. It works fine even if we use it for hours and hours on end. But if we leave it for 3 or 4 hours and then come back and wiggle the mouse to turn the screen back on it just shuts off completely. No power at all. Its like someone pulled the plug.

NORFOLK - If you had plans to go north this weekend, you likely won't be able to get there by plane or train, and driving could be a problem, too.
The Northeast is poised for up to three feet of snow. The snow has already begun in some areas, with the heaviest amounts falling at night and into Saturday.
Boston could get up to 3 feet of snow, while New York City was expecting 10 to 14 inches. To the south, Philadelphia was looking at a possible 2 to 5 inches.
At Norfolk International Airport, some flights had been cancelled.
'We are experiencing some cancellations to the New York airports and Boston. Otherwise, we're good to go right now,' spokesman Wayne Shank told WVEC.com.
It's a similar situation at Newport News-Williamsburg.
'It's really important to check with the airlines before you head out to make sure your flight is on. You'll save yourself a lot of heaches,' spokeswoman Jessica Wharton advised.
Amtrak alerts say Northeast trains will stop running Friday afternoon.
In New England, this could prove to be among the top 10 snowstorms in history.

Seattle Times
NEW YORK — The price of oil rose to a four-month high Thursday on positive reports about the U.S. economy.Benchmark oil gained $1.25 to finish at $95.49 a barrel, the highest close for crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange since Sept. 17. Oil has now gained 4 percent this year.Strong reports on housing starts and fewer unemployment claims made traders more optimistic about the U.S. economy. Builders started work on homes in December at the fastest pace since the summer of 2008, and the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell to a five-year low last week. Both reports could signal greater demand for fuel.Meanwhile Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose $1.42 to end at $110.10 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.

Hi all I am in the process of pulling in all the spells from previous editions that cover dark magic, Necromantic and chaotic shaman, along with outlawed Divine faiths to convert into 3edition. Mainly because I have a real issue with things that are incomplete, and currently when have very limited actions for the above and those we do have are limited to 3rd rank. This personally really grates me as various monsters NPC's are listed as being able to use spells of any rank, and PCs can do also access higher ranked abilities, I feel its only right that those Black Magisters get some love!
I also take joy in corrupting wizard PCs to darker paths and currently the incentive is not there as I am unable to offer them any increase in power in exchange for there soul. Firstly I wondered if other Games Masters would find such a resource useful if I were to create full action cards covering these, and equally as important if people would play test them and report back with feedback.
This is the first part of a project I have been wanting to do for a very long time, I want to keep it fairly basic initially, but to build upon this over time. I have some basic ideas I would like to develop for ritual magic, summoning, and creating constructs, along side I have some incredibly in depth rules for herbs, poison, drugs and alchemy i developed, that I wish cut down and simplify to form a guide to Dark Magic within the Empire.
Now I have been pottering around with bits of this for a few years, so I have a large portion complied over dozens of files, writing pads and cards, I also contacted various author that have written previous material covering various aspects of the overall theme to gain there permission to use as a basis upon which to construct background for the project. It was a while ago since I spoke to them so I would contact them again before releasing any material along those lines. The part I need the most help with is feedback and play testing.
I will only be covering humans magic users, cults and mutants, as I feel that the various monster races would require a project like this to cover each one individually. Any way I wanted to know if this appeals to other GM's and if you would be willing to provide feedback on the material. Obviously this is a very ambitious project so I will be aiming to put it forward a bit at a time.

Keep your little one by your side with one of G.W. Little's adorable dog carriers. Your pet carrier should complement your life and style. Whether you prefer Bohemian chic or haute couture, there's a bag that's a perfect fit. The Cuddle Dog Carrier by Susan Lanci, for example, uses blanket-soft material with messenger bag styling, keeping your dog secure and comfortable right by your side while running errands. Other dog carriers, such as the SturdiPet Incognito Pet Carrier, allow you to stealthily bring your precious cargo with you wherever you go. We also specialize in providing just the right dog car seat or bike basket to keep your dog safe while traveling or out for a joy ride.
Dog's love to nap almost as much as cats and especially after a busy day your dog deserves a long comfy nap. G.W. Little's dog beds will be a perfect fit. Whether your little one prefers a traditional dog bed or something a bit more snug like a cuddle cup, our dog beds are sure to please. We offer a variety of styles and colors, all of which have been tested for quality and softness. Our Cuddle Cups are a great alternative to a traditional dog bed and can be used to snuggle your dog or used as a dog blanket. We also offer easy-to-use playpens and dog gates to give your dog a safe and secure place to play.
Of course, G.W. Little offers much more than dog carriers and dog beds. We offer stylish dog ID tags which offer protection if they get lost, or outfits for any and every occasion, plus harnesses that are a perfect fit for small dogs. You can also find matching leashes, a variety of convenient indoor potty solutions, food bowls, dog furniture and other dog care supplies. We also have safe toys and healthy treats for your pet to enjoy. Your dog is an important member of your family; it's our job to make sure you have all you need for a comfortable and safe living.

Turn on Family Safety
Set limits for your child
Monitor your child's PC activity
When you turn on Family Safety for a child's account, monitoring starts automatically. Family Safety sends regular activity report emails to your Microsoft account, summarizing how much time the child spent on the PC, the websites they visited, the games and apps they used, and the terms they've looked up in search engines like Bing, Google, or Yahoo! Search.
The email summary gives you a lot of info about your child's PC activities at a glance. But you can always delve into more details—and change permissions and other settings based on the activity info—by choosing a link in the email report to view the report online. You can also open the report from the Family Safety website. Here's how:
Go to the Family Safety website and sign in.
Tap or click the name of the child whose report you want to see, and then tap or click Activity reporting. Make sure activity reporting is turned on.
The top half of the Summary page shows info about the websites your child has visited recently, and any web searches they've recently performed. The bar chart of Most popular websites indicates the top five sites they've been to and how many pages within each site they've looked at, but doesn't show how long they might have spent on each site. To see a complete list of every website your child's visited in the last week, tap or click See all above the chart. All of the web addresses and search terms shown on the Summary page are also links that you can tap or click.
The bottom half of the Summary page shows info about how much time your child spent on the PC, the apps and games they used most frequently, and any downloads they've made from the Windows Store.
For a complete list of your child's Internet activities, you can also tap or click Web activity. This page shows all of the sites your child visited or tried to view, including sites that Family Safety considers "suspicious" or potentially inappropriate. The Action taken column indicates whether Family Safety allowed the site, or blocked some or all of its content. The Category column shows the website categories as determined by Microsoft, but you can dispute a site rating if you disagree. Use the buttons in the Change settings column to allow or block your child's future visits to a particular site.
For a breakdown of your child's overall PC use, tap or click PC activity tab. The Sessions section indicates when and for how long your child used the PC during the week. The Apps and games section lists each app or game that your child used, when, and for how long. The Action column also indicates whether your child was blocked from using a particular app.
File downloads from the Internet and downloads or updates from the Windows Store are listed separately in their respective sections. If your child downloaded a game from the Windows Store, and then played it for 45 minutes, that game will appear in both the Windows Store downloads and the Apps and games sections of this page.

Many who use the word tomfoolery neither know nor care that 'Tom Fool' was a generic term for simpletons/jesters. They do know, however, that 'tomfoolery' can involve dangerous activities with sometimes fatal results.
It's been rebuilt after a crash and only needs some finish and color before it's flying again. Hopefully with less tombfoolery this time:(
I think that this topic was covered in another thread in this forum somewhere, the general consensus was that there are too many plonkers who think that they are budding Dave Cotes or Sonny ferguson's, but on the public highway.It is easy to see how the bobby would get shirty with such tombfoolery, as far as bad attitudes are concerned…
Tsvangirayi was wise enough to know not to attend a ceremony that ended up in tombfoolery. It is not edifying to watch a grown make a fool of himself at his siblings graveside and commit a diplomatic gaffe all the same time. Why mention diamonds when no one believes that your own hands are clean.
Tombfoolery. Hey, you kids, quit messing around with that casket! Put that skull down! Brainlessness may be involved: dumbfoolery.
All of this ugliness, confusion, and sheer dumbfoolery is framed by simply breathtaking cinematography
my (passive) respect had consistently been shrinking over the years in part because of Afghanistan and Iraq, the economy, a flagrant disregard for problems at home, dumbfoolery anmd taradiddles.
Go Travelling with your girlfriend. it will likely be hell. an abortive year of chaos and dumbfoolery.
Tombfoolery suggests an incomplete metathesis (I suppose there's a proper name for that). Here's another: tomfolly.
Frankly I'm sick of the dramatic, consistent, tomfolly you exude in your utterly dense postings.
BP is a throwback to Capt. Bligh days; "Mr. Cristian, the barnacles have eaten a hole in the bottom of the Bounty!" "Ridiculous tomfolly, my feet are dry!"
Dumbfoolery is a very fine eggcorn indeed, unlike tombfoolery , a reject which I resurrected only because errant bees seemed topical.

"Tombfoolery" makes me think Moth's comments in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost when he hears a speech about the silent Bs of English:
"They have been at a great feast
of languages, and stolen the scraps."
"Dumbfoolery" is awesome. Would you guys be mad at me if I made that a standard usage around the house and the office?

Finally! That's hopefully a big monkey off our backs. We killed him 2 seconds or so after the Enrage timer. Best part was that I got the killing blow!
After that, we killed Void Reaver, and then went and saw Kael. That looks like a very fun fight. Phase 1 went by very fast, and Phase 2 was just total chaos. I think we're going to go back to SSC first though.
Still, 3/4 TK and 3/6 SSC is not too bad. Hopefully we can make better progress on the back half of Serpentshrine Cavern.

Al'ar is my favorite TK fight. Phase 1 is nice and laid back, phase 2 is utter chaos. It took us a bit of trying, but eventually we got to the point where it was a really fun fight just to go through, always new and interesting.
Good luck with your remaining SSC bosses and Kael. You'll most likely end up hating the fight with a bloody passion, but even after the nerfs its the hardest thign you'll have to do until Bloodboil.

Grats! We've been doing Al'ar recently by not killing any adds in Phase 2. I'm not really sure how popular that strat is, but it's worked very well for us. A prot paladin and a prot warrior both grab them as quickly as they can and just move off to the side while all dps is on Al'ar.
But yeah, good luck in moving forward. Kael is definitely a fun fight once you get it down.

The euphoria fresh and ever-present after Wake Forest's upset of North Carolina State four nights ago, Devin Thomas was in the middle of a lighthearted session with reporters when a legend suddenly poked his head in the door.
It was Randolph Childress, the former Demon Deacons great and now director of player development for the team.
"Superhero," he said loudly, diverting Thomas' attention, "class tomorrow."
Everybody laughed more and Childress had intended for it to be fun, another enjoyable moment from a special, court-rushing victory worth savoring.
But still, there was a message mixed in, too.
"Back to work," junior forward Travis McKie said, providing the explanation. "We can't be satisfied with this. We've got to continue to get better. I think we have a lot more room to grow."
Whether Wake Forest's first defeat of a Top 25 opponent in coach Jeff Bzdelik's three seasons becomes a springboard or an aberration, the next step — forward or backward — comes today at Georgia Tech, the only team winless in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
"Everything's headed in the right direction," Bzdelik said. "There's great character in that locker room, great passion."
Much of the talk following Tuesday night's takedown of N.C. State focused on the young Demon Deacons coming of age.
The six freshmen who play regular minutes delivered 60 of Wake Forest's 86 points and 30 of its 40 rebounds, an effort keyed by Thomas' inspired 25-point, 14-rebound performance.
"The potential he has is amazing. His passion, his energy, really helps us," senior guard C.J. Harris said, before turning to the freshmen as a whole. "They grew up. They put us on their back."
Harris might wear protective eye gear today. He missed about four minutes down the stretch against the Wolfpack after getting poked in his left eye. It was bloody after the game and he has missed some practice time this week while recovering.
Who:Wake Forest (10-8, 3-3) at Georgia Tech (10-7, 0-5)
When:3 p.m. today (ACC Network)
Where:McCamish Pavilion, Atlanta
Series:Wake Forest leads 37-36

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I removed the table #____. These are the perfect size & thickness for seating cards. The colors match a pink themed wedding perfectly. I also ordered the matching invitations."
"I ordered these in gold and a light pink, with different colors representing alternate meal choices. I was so impressed with the paper quality and the print on these. Not only that, but I'm really picky about paper I write on because I'm left handed and things I write always smear. The paper absorbed the ink quickly and they looked absolutely flawless. The gold is metallic, which I was worried about. Sometimes a non metallic gold color can look flat and icky, but it truly was a sparkly gold! Loved everything about them, and so did guests! Most even took them home!"
"I ordered these for my wedding for the tables and place cards. i then called to place a smaller order of the same cards with no writing on them so i can use them to label some family photos and favors etc. they came with the writing on them so i called and they fixed the problem right away and overnighted the correct cards."
"These place cards are great! Very simple chic, I'm glad we went with the white shimmer paper it added a little extra glam."
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."

MAP: Deadly Rampages
by Elaina Ramsey |
A tragic look at some of the U.S. mass shootings since Columbine.
Have guns become an American idol?
In the January 2013 Sojourners commentary "9mm Golden Calves," gun owner and retired pastor James E. Atwood explores this question and proposes ways to stem senseless gun violence.
View a sampling of some of the mass shootings that have occurred in the U.S. since the tragic Columbine school shooting in 1999. (Click on the blue markers below for more information.)
