In one of my very first posts, I wrote about how I believe that paladins were not part of the typical MMO triad of tank-healer-dps, and that they were something else: a fifth-man class. And that the ideal 5-man group was: tank, healer, dps, dps, fifth-man.
I no longer think this is case in The Burning Crusade.
Indeed, I think that the ideal party has become: tank, healer, dps, dps, dps.
There are three reasons that I am now leaning towards this. First, healing in most TBC instances seems to have become easier. Perhaps it is the increased stamina, perhaps it's just the way the fights are set up, but it seems much easier to heal than in WoW 1.0.
Second, there seems to be a greater emphasis on crowd control, with several pulls consisting of five or more mobs, something which was very rare in WoW 1.0. Crowd control is mostly the province of the dps classes. Having three dps classes gives you three options of crowd control, which makes a lot of the fights easier.
Third, and most importantly, a lot of fights are timed, or require you to kill adds quickly. I generally find that there are many fights where you need one dps class killing adds, and two dps on the boss. A paladin just cannot deal with the adds fast enough. Example fights include Grandmaster Vorpil in Shadow Labyrinth, Kargath Bladefist in Shattered Halls, and the entire instance of Black Morass.
Yes, it's probably possible to do these instances with 2x dps and a fifth-man, especially if they are geared, but it seems to me that 3x dps is a superior makeup.
I feel rather sad, because I really liked playing the fifth-man role, and I used to feel like an essential part of the group, providing the right solution at the right time. But now--if I'm in a fifth-man slot--I can't help but notice how much easier it would be if I was replaced by a dps character.
There are a lot of ramifications to this change. The changes to healing, and new Holy tree make paladins a lot more viable as main-healers, as do the changes to Protection for tanking. However, I'm not what the Retribution tree can do. Can they take a dps slot?
For the sake of argument, pretend that Retribution's damage matches a "real" dps class. Even then, they have no crowd control. Add to that the fact that their damage does not match an equally-geared dps class, especially if they do some healing, and it's no wonder that Retribution paladins are looked down on.
Shadow priests, in contrast, are acceptable because their damage does match that of the dps classes, they provide a *lot* of addition utility in health and mana regen, and they have crowd control in the form of Shackle.
With the passing of the paladin as fifth-man concept, I think that the Retribution tree has lost its way. Holy and Protection have been strengthened and drop into the healer and tank roles, but Retribution doesn't really have a purpose in 5-man content anymore.
Oddly enough, I would say that Retribution is a decent spec for raiding, because there is--in my Karazhan experience--a lot more room to act as a fifth-man, and crowd control becomes much less important. Additionally, the utility that Retribution does possess (Sanctified Crusader, Improved Sanctity Aura) becomes more and more powerful as the size of the group increases.

Revisting the Fifth Man

My thoughts are that most of the high level dps classes are still pretty squishy.
Nothing wrong with swapping a bit of dps for a lot more survivability and the ability to grab aggro if it goes pear shaped and the tank dies.
My dps gear has a/c around 10500 and my tank gear has around 11100.....takes a bit of hitting in the non-heroic 5-mans to knock me over...especially if I'm after the tank has died.

Having said that.....quite often we will have a guild 5-man run with a combination of the following 7 people:
70 Ret Pally (me)
70 Prot Pally
70 Lock (uber-dps)
70 Mage (uber-uber-dps)
69 Resto Druid
68 Prot Pally
65 Prot/Arms Warrior
Runs with the three pallies, lock and mage are the best fun.....12 buffs on each is not uncommon.
Suffice it to say, we're not a raid guild, but isn't it all about having fun while killing fings?

An extra priest also brings extra crowd control++ in the form of Mind Control.
Steamvaults is one of my favorite instances for this; the Red Aura in Botanica is pretty nifty too.

I can see your point in some instances boss fights. Sometimes the "5th man" is less useful than another dps. But on other bosses, like say the 1st Mechanar boss, a rogue is surprisingly useless. In the BC these fights are better designed so that you cannot have "the ultimate" group for every single fight. I love this as it provides a challenge, and requires actual skill and thinking.
Anyhow this is coming from a rogue, not just a some biased pally fan. Hybrids, and the "5th man" are more needed than ever in my opinion because the mobs and bosses are so diverse. When you have only 5 people to deal with ever changing configurations, it is very valuable to have a person who can switch out to do a couple of different tasks. For pallys that is tanking, healing, or gimped dps (which can even provide some value).
Oh and pallys do have crowd control capabilities. Tanking is the best crowd control.

Tanking is the best crowd control.
No, I'm pretty sure that Polymorph is better. In fact, I might even go so far as saying that tanking is the worst form of crowd control (at least from a healing point of view).
One thing that many people--especially dps--don't seem to realize is that having one tank per mob is bad thing in 5-man instances. It's too hard to heal efficiently. You want your one tank to have all the non-CC'd mobs on her, while the dps focus fires one of them. This makes healing much easier. The only time you should actually off-tank something is if having several mobs on the tank will kill her before the healer can react. (Or if positioning is important.)
I'm not saying that instances are now impossible with an extra paladin. I just think an extra paladin is sub-optimal, when it used to be optimal.

Got to agree with GSH, you really only want one tank holding all non-CC'd mobs in a 5 man, especially if you have a Shaman or Paladin healing, due to the lack of group heals/HoTs.
It's actually something I wrote about recently on my blog.
I do agree that playing my Paladin seems less and less appealing, especially since there are so many other classes now that bring the same/comparable utility and a higher damage output.

You're so right usually, it's shocking me how wrong you are this time :)
The paladin, post BC, has become the top class for PvE content in my opinion. She can heal, tank *and* DPS.
Oh, you don't believe me about the DPS? I was in BM over 10 times, 2 of which were successful - one time for my key and the other for some guildies. Both good times we used a paladin as the person handling the adds, I swear he took them down faster than runs I did with a rogue handling the adds and with *much* more mana efficiency then a mage (me :)) handling them.
Healing? It's a secret no longer that the world's top guilds - Death & Taxes, and Nihilum - use *paladins* as main healers and all priests in shadow-form.
Tanking - you yourself posted positive experiences with pala tanking, even in Karazhan! My experience has been the same, when my paladin friend tanks, he rocks. AND he's holy specced! :)

I've got to say as far as Ret goes it seems most groups would rather have a "pure" DPS class that has more utility or CC. An easy way to fix this... (and I've always wondered why it wasn't this way from the begining) would be to make Repentance last LONGER... like 20-30 seconds.
- 12:28 PM, March 24, 2007
- GSH said...
solidstate, I think you are reading more into my post than I intended.
Pre-TBC, I was most effective when someone else was the tank or healer. I supported them both as a fifth-man.
Post-TBC, I am most effective when I am the tank or healer. I am least effective when I am not either of those two roles.
It's a change of roles. I just happen to like the old role a lot. I like the new one as well, it's just different.
I disagree with you about Retribution though. Yes, if you are geared you can meet the damage requirements, but a DPS class will do the same job at a much lower gear level, and add some crowd control to boot.
As proudfoot says, making Repentance a proper CC move would help out Retribution a lot.

- MB said...
I've got the reason why Repentance is not a "proper" CC move.......it's because we wear plate.
Consider all the other CC moves and who puts them on...."squishies" or at best a mail wearing hunter.
Imagine the howls of indignation of the CC classes if a plate wearer had as valid a CC move as them.
To my thinking, those six seconds are priceless if a baddie is whaling on your mage....gives you time to use Righteous Defence and grab the aggro....shout out to the healer...."Got two...start healing" and you're ready to rock and roll.
Used it many times.....fits into the ethos of "Defender of the Weak" as well.

A 20 second repentance with a 1 min CD is nowhere near as good as sheep. It's about on the level with Sap except that a rogue could most likely kill another target in the 45 seconds of sap. In a group situation it would make ret paladins alot more useful... and thats a good thing because of the percived weakness of Ret.

When it comes to non-heroics, a ret paladin just tanking with a 2h is the best imo, as long as you have a decent healer, you can do a lot of damage and hold aggro at the same time. For heroics though, a non-prot/non-feral tank certainly can't handle the blows from mobs. So for those, I will agree that a paladin as a fifth man or dps won't quite cut it.
I do like the idea of making Repentance last longer. I don't think the cloth wearing classes would have a huge issue with it. I just had an interesting idea. What if it lasted longer on targets with lower health, for instance targets at full health would only be incapacitated for six or fewer seconds, and targets below 20% life would be affected for 15 to 20 or so. This is just a thought, maybe good, maybe not. But I do agree for the most part that ret paladins lack something, and I don't think just increasing our damage is the answer.
Actually, going back to a topic a couple weeks ago, I think the answer might be to increase a ret paladin's healing capacity through meleeing, and maybe vice versa. One idea is to make a talent (or non-talented ability) that increases healing done when melee damage is dealt, and vice versa, for an amount of time or a number of charges.

Your bang on the money with your 5th man observation and i don't bother going unless i am main healer as my lack of dps as a utility player just slows the dungeon down and makes it more difficult.
However if you switch on Heroic its back to business as usual with a Pali being vital second healer. Im really enjoying the heroic instances as each class has to be on the ball and it fine tunes you all. Agro time is essential (non heroic this is not the case).

Tanking is in fact the best CC, not because it is the most efficient (it is certainly not), but because it is intelligent and adaptable.
One of the best changes in BC is more interesting mob and boss fights. The off tank is the intelligent crowd control making pulls go smoothly by tying up loose ends.

Don't be too disheartened the 5th man role is absolutely necessary in Heroics having the option of an off healer and or off tank is mandatory on even some trash pulls. I help run a medium core guild and often run with our MT and one of our better restro Druids and as a 50/11/0 Holy Paladin they'll have me every time to help out with that elusive 5th man role.
For example the 3 trash pulls before the last boss in H-Underbog hit our half Kara geared Tank for between 7-9K white damage. Even with parry/dodge/miss and block you need two dedicated healers on the Tank to defeat these pulls.
To support that of the 9 playable classes nearly half (4) are in some way or another (depending on spec) a support healer class - so it isn't unfair of blizzard to make content that requires Tank/Healer/dps/dps/support
We also make BM look like childs play with a Paladin (me) on the adds. However instead of tasked with killing them my primary role is just to Off tank them all in the same spot. I typically kill half of them by the time the Rift Lord is dead and the two dps classes just finish them off on the way to the next boss. Its actually a very easy role as a Paladin and we have run BW up to 3 times in a row (after the druids pants drop) without a hiccup using this method.

Thread: Automatically expanding ads
Am I the only person that DETESTS the new automatically expanding ads at the top of the page? I realize that ads on a site like this are a necessary evil, but it is an extremely annoying new feature that I have to deal with on every new page, and every time my cursor accidentally rolls over the ad.
I don't think I'll every buy Levi's again just because of its stupid expanding ad.
This is a very, very annoying new site feature. I love basenotes, but geez, I can't be the only one that this annoys.

My swap thread: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/306...ntense-(CONUS)
I'll check back periodically to see if the auto-expanding advert is still here, and immediately log out if it is. That is the most annoying "feature", and frankly I can't be bothered. I come to Basenotes for pleasure not for frustration!

Grrr...it's still there and eating up my screen. Really annoying. Half the time I click on the "male forum," but because the ad is automatically expanding/contracting, I end up in a different forum altogether.

The drop-down ads are actually interfering with PMs. My notifications are stuck now. Viewing PMs doesn't make them "read" for me anymore, when that ad is showing (which is basically all the time). Which means these ridiculous ads are monkeying with BN code execution. WRONG on so many levels.

Ah! There. Finally went away.

Now they're interfering with posts being marked as read!
Yeah - I'm getting the same ads. Equally annoying on iPad, iPhone, and Windows.

I only get them when I'm not logged in.
I'm logged in and I am still getting them at least 50% of the time.
It's now been ten since Grant said he'd look into them. I'm sure he did, but they're still there, despite being universally reviled.
I think I may stay away from BN for a while until they're gone, and that's saying something about how annoying they are.

If you're a Basenotes Plus member, please check your settings. Under general setting there's an option to turn ads on or off.
The ads are really annoying. Is the setting only available for Basenotes Plus members?
Yes, that's one of the perks of paid membership.
But this morning, before I logged in, I didn't get the expanding ad, only a banner. Is it fixed for everyone now?
Adding later: never mind - I logged in again later this morning and got the expanding Levis ad again

I'm all for the site making $ from ads, got no problem there. But this ad has a mind of it's own.
It seems to expand/close at will, just a nightmare, evertime I hit a new page I have to wait for the whole page to jockey just to accomodate it. It's like page-terrets. I mean, it's having the opposite affect on me, I'm NOT gonna buy thier jeans just because of it....lol.
Anybody else having this problem? at least cycle in some better ads related to fragrence or am I forever stuck with this one?
It's stopping me from actually dropping in....I keep thinking.....THAT ad, my god that ad.
Sorry, less Levi's more juice. Expanding ads are.....a bad idea.
- - - Updated - - -
Almost a sense of relief that I'm not the only one......almost.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Any word on this? This Levi's add is still making BN a hassle, whether I'm logged on or off. BN is basically unusable from my tablet and a real pain even on the laptop. It's gotten to the point where my brain screams "You dumb b-, get out of the way!" every time I try to log on. The girl in the silly denim dress just pops up everywhere!
The nose wants what it wants!
Now there is a car ad that is even worst than the Levis one...it covers everything.
Fortunately I've been able to turn the ads off using Chrome or Firefox on my computer but it still gets me on my iPod where Safari doesn't allow me to eliminate ads.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
The Levi's expanding ad is gone. Thank You for listening/caring!
On humble laptops running Safari ADblock works...
l've just today started getting Levis ads which move in on both sides of the page, only when viewing the reviews & directory, but they make scrolling down incredibly slow. Anyone else getting this?

Lean Cuisine ad at the top of the page automatically expands and shows a loud video when the mouse rolls over it. It displays a countdown so you can move your mouse away, but it still loads the ad when you switch from tab to tab.
Tried Adblock?
or BN plus.
i can't stand it, makes each page very slow too and it is easy to click the ad by accident when you try and [x] it out. its very misleading and seemingly takes advantages of many of us.
I don't want to run adblock since this site runs off ad revenue and I want to support that; if only there was a version of adblock that only stiffed annoying ads like this.
BN plus has an option where u can turn them off, admittedly not for everyone.
+1, wow really? 10x worse than the Levi's ad. Obnoxiously LOUD video, NSFW. WTH does lean cuisine have to do with fragrence anyway, sheesh.
Expanding ads will be the end of the internet and any entity that decides to use them WILL NOT get my business....lol. I'll get BN plus when the get RID of expanding ads.

It's a vodaphobe ad today.
Huge.. it's 75ml down the screen
Can u install ADblock? - free browser add-on - stops the ones that follow u down the page too
Seems to work on a few (inc. Safari):-
and for windows users:-
BUT read this too (Android).....
I'm getting that Walkers crisps pop up everytime I move to a another page, no matter how many times I close it. It is so annoying, ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Me too with the walkers ad. It's bugging the hell out of me. I remove it very carefully so as not to activate it, then as soon as i change page... pop... back it comes. Ha ha, here it is again....... This is really putting me off posting stuff as it is right where I want to be......
If you are using Internet Explorer I found you can go to tools then internet options then click on the security tab. Press the restricted sites and where there is a tab for sites add basenotes net address and it will stop the never ending pop adds. Downside is that you will have to keep logging in every so often.
Yeah, getting these also (just posted about it in 'Off Topic' section as I'd not seen this thread).
TOTALLY F**CKING ANNOYING - Grant, please make it stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Found out another better way to stop that Walkers Crisps advert, click on tools in internet explorer if you are using that browser and on the list just click on active x filtering and that stops the add from popping up all the time.
I will look on safari because it is seriously maddening when it suddenly pops into the way.
Nothing found but of course the ad isn't doing it now. If that was you killing it Grant, then thank you.

One of the key characteristics of how we coach our clients' teams is that we help them start from where they are and introduce small, frequent changes that help them progressively achieve their goals.
I've started a new series on my blog... it's a weekly diary of what it's like to work with youDevise as a developer. I thought it might prove interesting to those considering working there in the future... since they are frantically hiring.
You can read the diary on my new blog.
Wondering why I have a new blog?
"Antony†(without the 'H') is the anglicised version of Antonius. In victorian times (there or thereabouts I'm guessing), among those wishing to appear oh so intelligent, gossip spread that the spelling of "Antony†was wrong… For, so they would say, it is born of the greek word "anthos†(meaning "flowerâ€) – oh dear… so many poor children with misspelt names…
I've decided to move my blog. This is a sad day for me, but my posts have long-since outgrown testingReflections. The content of my blog posts is now about so much more than just testing that it doesn't seem to make sense hosting it here anymore.
I'm still the curator of testingReflections and intend to continue to be so, as I still get many people telling me how valuable it is to them. I have many plans for it, to bring it up to date but I simply haven't had the time. I am working hard to make that time, so I appreciate your continued patience.
Feature Injection, an approach to Agile Business Analysis created by Chris Matts, is a much misunderstood thing –. It is a way of combining several techniques to understand just enough of a business problem to start expressing solutions to it. It provides specific techniques to incrementally and iteratively comprehend each of the following:
Basically, it helps us to evolve everyone's understanding of the business-need as we (by other means) also evolve the implementation of the product.
Gearboxes in competitive motor racing are designed to shift as fast as possible. A competitive race-car has computer controlled, hydraulically activated gear shifts that change gears up or down faster than you can blink (literally)! Compare that to the circa 1 second gear-shift a competent driver takes to manually de-clutch, change gear and re-clutch on a road car. Even automatic gearboxes on road cars can't keep pace with the rapid gear changes that a race car delivers.
Recently, I wrote about my views on using and estimating with task-cards. I highlighted that tracking progress with burn-up/down charts showing effort completed/remaining is not a true measure of progress, especially if we subscribe to the idea that we measure progress with working-software.
I also highlighted how tasks "horizontally slice" a "vertically sliced" story.
Others have talked about the virtues of stories as vertical slices of a problem (end-to-end capabilities) rather than horizontal slices (system layers or components). So, if we slice the problem with user stories, how do we slice the user-stories themselves?
If, as I sometimes say, acceptance tests (a.k.a. examples/scenarios/acceptance-criteria) are the knife with which we slice a story into even thinner vertical slices, then I would say my observation of 'tasks' is that they are used as the knife used to cut a story into horizontal slices. This feels wrong...

These are great for problems that require a lot of footwork because the rubber is so sticky and the toe so precise. I wore these out at Red Rocks and it boosted my confidence in my foot ten fold. Highly recommend but would suggest trying on in person as they run a little small.
The Scarpa vapors are great aggressive climbing shoes. The heels fit tightly and are great for heel hooking. My feet are fairly narrow so I love that these lace up for a tight fit. I normally size down for climbing shoes but for these I bought my street size and they fit very tightly, I could not have sized down any more. The only down side is that at first they are very uncomfortable and the break in time is quite long, but after a few weeks they became perfectly formed to my feet. I have used these both inside and out for the past year, and they have provided the best performance of any shoe I have owned, and have held up well. I definitely would recommend these shoes!
This is my first pair of rock climbing shoes so it was a little hard to get the size right, but once I did they were great. They are great for overhangs and stick like glue. They also look like the picture some shoes aren't true to what you see on the Internet I have come to find out. Overall a great shoe!
I bought this shoe because I needed something a little more aggressive than my Anasazis for bouldering this past season. I was drawn to them because I thought they looked like a space ship. =]They do. They're awesome. I love the color with the silver accents. They fit my skinny, low-volume foot snug and great, but did rub on the backs of my heels a bit until I wore them in. They won't stretch too much. They're actually pretty stiff. My only complaint is how stiff the bottoms are. I can't feel through them at all, which can be good and bad: great for heel hooking, bad for when I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing with my feet (oops!) I'd recommend as long as you size them right.

Everything in the Garden
By Edward Albee
From the play by Giles Cooper
Directed by Eric Hill
October 8-18, 2009
Laurie Theater
The only thing that stands in the way of happiness for suburbanites Jenny and Richard is lack of money; enter Mrs. Toothe with a titillating proposal for Jenny about how to remedy the situation, and Richard need never know. Jenny and Richard will be able to buy as many greenhouses to compliment their sprawling home as they want and if Mrs. Toothe is right, a whole lot more. The length and distance people are willing to go to attain possessions and the ultimate price of those things – of everything – makes this lesser known Edward Albee play one that has much to say today from one of the greatest living playwrights.

Ryan Gieselman has been given a big promotion.
The Lenoir County school board on Monday approved Kinston High's recommendation that Gieselman take over its football program, a little over 48 hours following his own wedding.
Gieselman had served as an assistant for the last two seasons under former Vikings head coach Nick Anderson, who resigned in April to take a job in Virginia.
The 26-year-old Virginia native is excited about leading a program that has taken off, winning 52 football games since the start of the 2008 season — the winningest stretch of football in modern Lenoir County football history.
"I'm super excited," he said. "It's a life-long dream come true."
Although this is his first head coaching gig, Gieselman is no stranger to success.
He was an assistant when Kinston went to its first and only state championship game in 2011, and was a part of Tyndall's staff this season as the school's boys basketball team won its second consecutive state title. He also served as an assistant at perennial power Greenville Rose prior to his time at Kinston.
Gieselman's plans for his football team are simple — to keep it going.
"I know the ins and the outs of the program and what-not," he said. "It's a pretty good situation."
It's been a whirlwind last few days for the ECU graduate. On Saturday he got married, then two days later found out he would be the next to lead Kinston's football program.
On Tuesday Gieselman was busy making the office his that belonged to more than a dozen former coaches.
"I love the kids here. I love the atmosphere here. Since I've been here we've been to one state championship, and there's always tons of potential out here," he said. "There's great help and great support from your staff and the community, and I just want to be a part of it."
Recommending Gieselman to the school board as its next coach was an easy decision, Athletic Director Perry Tyndall said.
For starters, he's been a part of the program and will have no problems making the adjustment going from an assistant to the head guy. And secondly, he figures to bring stability and continuity a program that in its history has had 16 previous coaches.
"We're excited about him stepping into that role. He's a hard worker. He's passionate about the game and he loves this community," Tyndall said. "He enjoys being here, he loves those kids, and those are all the things you want in a coach."
Gieselman said he plans on building a career at Kinston, and hopes to model it after what the late Jack Holley accomplished at Wallace-Rose Hill, he said.
"I want to be that guy … I want to be here for a while," Gieselman said. "Like I said, there's potential here every year."
Although there will be a different name calling the shots this fall, they will come from a familiar face. And that face plans on keeping the product as familiar as possible.
Especially the part about winning football games.
"Weight-room wise we may do some things a little different, but nothing out of the ordinary," Gieselman said. "The offense is going to be the same. The defense, we're still going to run a 3-4.
"The last five seasons they've started a great tradition of football here at Kinston. … I think we'll continue on and just keep pressing forward."

New album: Grace/Confusion
Artist: Memory Tapes
Label: Carpark Records
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
The latest full-length release from Memory Tapes (the working name of multi-instrumentalist Dayve Hawk) expands on the textured dream-pop that has garnered the act a loyal cult following over the last four years.
The Chris Isaak/Depeche Mode hybrid "Neighborhood Watch" that opens the album sets a wintry yet cheerful mood. Set against what sounds like shaker through the snow, Hawk's soaring vocals take on a cinematic scope. The track is a stripped down, uncluttered affair, but the sum of its parts adds up to what Phil Spector might have achieved in 2012 if he hadn't been out of his mind.
The '80s-inflected pop that Memory Tapes are known for comes to the fore on "Thru the Field," which is a pleasant enough track but is almost jarring when compared to the subtle perfection of "Neighborhood Watch." This is a minor quibble since Hawk's gets points for trying to keep things interesting. "Thru the Field" is earnest enough but it comes off as an ironic take on the more self-aware moments of M83 or Animal Collective.
"Safety" and "Let Me Be" pull the album back into the organic, natural flow of the opening track. "Safety," along with the dorky-but-right "Sheila," both clock in around the 8-minute mark, which is usually unheard of in the world of electronic pop music. This prog approach to a sometimes disposable songwriting genre gives the songs time to build momentum and create mini-movies for the listener to get pulled into.
One thing Memory Tapes has going for it over the similarly-minded Animal Collective is an ability to separate the good from the garbage. Many would argue part of the fun is making it through the difficult material to eventually be rewarded with a few nuggets of coherent work, while others would say it's a lazy way to break up the monotony of an inflexible sound.
With Grace/Confusion, Hawk has found a way to express ideas that are too big for the 3-minute pop song. His evolution has been gradual but rewarding, nonetheless.
Classic album: At Carnegie Hall
Artist: Dave Brubeck Quartet
Label: Columbia/Sony
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
When "At Carnegie Hall" was recorded in 1963, the Dave Brubeck Quartet was at the height of its powers. Four years onfrom the pop success of the "Time Out" LP, one of the all-time great jazz groups decided to commit one of its legendary live shows to tape.
Some jazz purists idiotically denounced the DBQ as a pop act, but after listening to the Herculean group interplay on these live versions of "Blue Rondo a la Turk," "It's a Raggy Waltz" and "Eleven Four" renders any detractors mute. For goodness sakes, "Blue Rondo..." was so ahead of its time that Emerson, Lake and Palmer's version recorded roughly a decade later is (except for the amplification) identical.
The group captured on "At Carnegie Hall" is the quintessential DBQ lineup: Dave Brubeck (piano), Paul Desmond (saxophone), Eugene Wright (bass) and Joe Morello (drums). There is no greater sound in jazz or any other type of music than the combination of Brubeck's massive, melodic chord work meshed with the exotic, airy alto sax of Paul Desmond. Just listen to the accessible but mysterious melodic groove of "Take Five" to hear this band's masterful blend of innovation and digestibility.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet has served as a gateway drug into jazz for many avowed non-jazz fans. "At Carnegie Hall" isn't just a bunch of musos trying to out-solo one another, but rather it's the sound of a band working with and off of one another. The innovations these four musicians made under the umbrella of jazz rank neck and neck with the stylistic innovations of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. "At Carnegie Hall" may not turn you into a jazz fan, but it will turn you into a Dave Brubeck Quartet fan.

I'm new to this forum so I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I couldn't find any other comments on this topic so I'm posting mine here.
I think that Sam makes a lot of cogent points in this article. My biggest problem with it is that he does not address the fact that Islamic terrorists can and will USE people to meet their objectives. The children or elderly couple obviously seem innocent enough but would you put it past a delusional Muslim to plant a device on a senior or on a kid? I wouldn't! These were my thoughts when I read "In Defense of Profiling". I had to agree with many things Sam said but this one point was like a "splinter in my mind" to quote The Matrix.

'war album ' to me is .....'40'!we are young and we are carrying a baggage, an heavy one. We have inherited the war. 'Sunday bloody Sunday' starts with a fast foot , beat beating hard the drums and guitar keeps the run. Voice and bass guitar are sublime in ' New year's day'. ' A generation without name, ripped and torn nothing to lose,nothing to gain',nothing at all , album reveals pleasure in searching new sounds in ' Like a song' and reverberating choirs. And we go a bit far from social world to meet inner world in ' Drowning man',but lyrics take back to common good sense . Musically I find this album very realistic in its ups and downs, tight to the evolution of the band. And dance we can' Two hearts beat as one'!

Sorry to interrupt the cynical, dogmatic, pack-mentality run-away steam train that is in progress here on this thread and gaining momentum with every post,
Cynical, dogmatic, pack-mentality..etc.?...Are you being serious? I don't quite understand how you came to that conclusion, can you give some examples of our 'pack-mentality run-away steam train'?
quote] but please consider the following:NDW
"If in fact the words 'God' and 'life' are describing the same thing…well, we have some major, major theological implications here.
Does anybody see anything terribly destructive in his view that God is life, in terms of its impact on society? Hypothetically, what if all religious people of the world were to abandon religion and take this view? Would that not be progress?
I read most of NDW books when I was trying to deprogram myself from my old beliefs about God, and it did seem like a great progress to me. But the more I read of Neale's beliefs, the more repulsed I was. On the surface, yes, it would be an improvement over other's theistic beliefs. But if you read more of Neale's ideas, they are as cruel as any fundamentalist religious nut. He is a big proponent of blaming victims of abuse and violence and oppression…they wanted it according to Neale. He is fond of saying "there are no victims or villians." He thinks people who are poor can just 'choose' not to be, children who are molested might have really liked it but are being brainwashed by children's rights groups. And there's more. I find him despicable, not due to any 'dogmatism' but as a human being with compassion.

Children who are overweight may have medical, behavioral, and genetic factors that contribute to weight gain. Our Weight Management specialists provide evaluation and treatment of children who are at an unhealthy weight. And we know your child's healthy weight is more than a number on a scale; it's about managing a medical condition, finding ways to deal with emotional issues, and learning healthy approaches to food, eating, and exercise that will last a lifetime.
Our program is focused on helping your family adopt long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes that can lead to significant improvements in your child's health and well-being.
For example, encouraging smaller food portions, increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, replacing screen time with physical activity and drinking water instead of sugary drinks are all small steps that add up on the road to combating childhood obesity.

We hope you're enjoying the Zoo's animal cams!
We're sorry to announce that the software running some of our older cameras will no longer be supported and must be taken offline. This cam will go dark on June 1, 2015. Please note that our panda, lion and elephant cams are not affected and will stream without interruption.
The Zoo is exploring new technology and funding opportunities to expand online viewing in the future. Be sure to follow us on social media for the latest updates.
Mammals vary in size from the 100-foot-long blue whale to the two-gram bumblebee bat, one of the world's most endangered species. Most mammals measure less than one foot (including the head and body). That makes small mammals far more common, if less well known, than large mammals like elephants, tigers, and people.
Small mammals cut across categories. Most species are rodents (such as the naked mole-rat), insectivores, and bats, but there are also carnivores (such as slender-tailed meerkats and striped skunks), and primates (such as golden lion tamarins and lemurs).
Be sure to get a glimpse of our newest members: Agouti, Southern Tamandua, Screaming Hairy Armadillo, Greater Malayan Chevrotain, and Long-Tailed Chinchillas.

Naked mole-what? Despite the fact that they burrow underground like moles, and have big front teeth like rats have, naked mole-rats are more closely related to porcupines and guinea pigs than to moles or rats. This naked mole-rat colony occupies a labyrinth of transparent tubes that mimics the underground tunnels and burrows in Africa, where mole-rats live. The web cam is focused on a busy intersection of two tunnels. Mole-rats are the only known mammals to live in large colonies presided over by a queen (like ants and termites).

For more than 30 years, this program has been saving these small monkeys through conservation breeding and reintroduction to their natural habitat in Brazil. Thanks to the success of the program, the status of GLTs was downgraded from "critically endangered" to "endangered" by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) in 2003. more

Bob Shiles Staff writer
September 17, 2013
LUMBERTON — East Carolina University officials were in Lumberton on Monday to announce that ground will be broken soon on its School of Dental Medicine's Community Service Learning Center and that it will be operating in the fall of 2014.
The center, where students will be trained, will also provide dental care to residents in Robeson and surrounding rural counties at a bargain.
Greg Chadwick, dean of the ECU School of Dental Medicine, said that a groundbreaking for the 7,700-square-foot center to be located in front of the Pinecrest Country Club, near the county Department of Social Services on N.C. 711 and adjacent to the Pinecrest Village subdivision, can be expected "soon." The center will be built on 2.5 acres of land that was donated to the university by the Robeson County commissioners last year.
"We're ready to go," Chadwick said. "We've just been waiting to get all of the permits we need and make sure everything is in place."
The center, the seventh to be announced by the university, is one of 10 the ECU dental school will eventually open in rural areas across the state. It will provide a community-based site for fourth-year dental students and post-graduate residents to learn and sharpen their skills, as well as provide free and reduced-cost dental care to qualifying residents.
The center is part of a strategy to address the shortage of dentists in rural areas. Centers are already operating in Ahoskie and Elizabeth City. Four other clinics — in Lillington, Sylva, Spruce Pine and Davidson County — are under construction and expected to open next year.
Chadwick said that the center will have a significant impact not only on the dental care of residents in Robeson and surrounding counties, but will be a boost to the local economy. He said it will cost about $3.6 million to construct the school, with 10 employees, including hygienists, dental assistants and office staff, being hired from the community.
ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard said that the Robeson County center, as well as the other centers being built in rural areas across the state, is addressing needs that have not previously been met.
"We have more than 50 counties out of the state's 100 counties that have fewer dentists than federal standards," he said during remarks to the audience of about 60 gathered for Monday's announcement at the county's Department of Social
Bill Smith, Robeson C0unty's health director, said that there is a shortage of dentists in Robeson County, as well as surrounding rural counties.
"This has been a long time coming, a very long time," Smith said.
Smith said that the state's Association of Local Health Directors in the early 1990s recognized the shortage of dentists, especially in rural areas, and made it a legislative priority.
"It went nowhere. We weren't content with just having one or two or three more slots added to those (at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) because it wouldn't meet our needs," he said.
Smith added that he didn't expect a dental school to be built in Robeson County.
"This goes far beyond what I ever imagined," he said.
Proponents hope that the ECU clinic will help fill a gap in dental services following the closing of the county Health Department's dental clinic two months ago. The clinic was closed because it was losing too much money.
Noah Woods, chairman of the Robeson County Board of Commissioners, praised ECU for choosing Robeson County as a site for one of its centers.
"We're honored by ECU's decision to put the project here," Woods said. "… We know the need (for dentists) in rural areas."
Kasey Oxendine, a second-year dental school student at ECU, said she is looking forward to having the opportunity to sharpen her skills in Robeson County and other rural counties during her fourth-year as a student at ECU. Oxendine, who was raised in Fairmont and Orrum, said she plans to return to Robeson County after her graduation to pursue her dental career.
"I chose to go to ECU for dental school because of its emphasis on rural health care," Oxendine said. "I knew when I chose the school that I plan to come back to Robeson County and practice … . There is a need for dentists here. When I was young and living in the county I experienced the shortage of dentists and the long waiting time it took to get to see a dentist."

Escape to your own fragrant island and float away to the scent of vanilla, sandalwood and lemon foam to calm a weary mind and restless body. Now, technically, islands don't melt, but you'll be absolutely floating after submerging yourself in the tub with our luxurious, slow-melting, fizzy bath melt. Helen combined creamy cocoa butter with our signature Bath Bomb mixture to create a fizzing bath melt that would melt very slowly in the water, allowing you to lie back and really enjoy the beauty of the experience. Slip away to an island of luxury.
- Bon Voyage: Take a trip to an island of relaxation and consider yourself calmed.
- Melts in your bath, not in your hand: It floats in your bath, gradually dissolving, softening the water and smoothing your skin.
- Wonder wood: Sandalwood is cooling and moisturizing, and used for dry skin conditions caused by lack of moisture.

Q:Will this leave substantial tub residue or clog the drain? I know you aren't supposed to pour grease in the kitchen sink, and I wondered if the butters in this worked similarly.Asked on 2/26/2015 by Malli from Ithaca, NY
1 answer
A:The bath melts, bombs and bubble bars are designed to leave as little residue as possible, but if you are concerned, it is always a good idea to rinse out the bath tub after you have used any of the bubble bars. This prevents the possibility of leaving a film or residue on the tub.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Emily from LUSH Direct
Q:How long does it take a bath melt to totally dissolve?Asked on 1/18/2015 by Kayla from Mn

Q:Has anyone ever used this with a bath bomb too, or would that be too much??Asked on 5/8/2013 by MNWalls from Indy

12 Qualities of Remarkably Courageous People
They Have the Courage to ForgiveThey Have the Courage to Believe the UnbelievableThey Have the Courage to Show Genuine EmotionThey Have the Courage to Stay the CourseThey Have the Courage to Succeed Through OthersThey Have the Courage to Say, "I'm Sorry."They Have the Courage to Lead by PermissionThey Have the Courage to Take the HitThey Have the Courage to Ask for HelpThey Have the Courage to Take an Unpopular StandThey Have the Courage to be PatientThey Have the Courage to Say, "No."
When you think of courage you may think of physical bravery, but there are many other forms of courage. After all, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it."
That means courage – sometimes remarkable courage – is required in business and entrepreneurship: Taking a chance when others will not; following your vision, no matter where it takes you; standing up for what you believe in, especially when your beliefs are unpopular; or simply doing the right thing even though easier options exist.
You may be surprised by how many of the qualities of remarkably courageous people you possess.
-- Jeff Haden
When an employee makes a mistake –- especially a major mistake –- it's easy to forever view that employee through the lens of that mistake. But one mistake, or one weakness, or one failing is also just one part of a person. It's easy to fire, to punish, to resent; it's much harder to step back, set aside a mistake, and think about the whole person. It takes courage to move past and forget mistakes and to treat an employee, a colleague, or a friend as a whole person and not just a living reminder of an error, no matter how grievous that mistake may have been.
To forgive may be divine, but to forget can be even more divine.
Most people try to achieve the achievable. That's why most goals and targets are incremental rather than massive or even inconceivable. Incremental is safe. Believable is safe. Why? Because you're less likely to fall short. You're less likely to fail. You're less likely to lose credibility and authority. A few people do expect more from themselves and from others. But they don't stop there. They also show you how to get to "more."
And they bring you along for what turns out to be an unbelievable ride.
Acting professionally is actually fairly easy. (We all know a few robots.) Acting professionally while also remaining openly human takes courage--the willingness to show sincere excitement, sincere appreciation, and sincere disappointment, not just in others, but also in yourself. It takes real bravery to openly celebrate, openly empathize, and openly worry. It's hard to be professional and also remain a person.
It's easy to have ideas. It's a lot harder to stick with your ideas in the face of repeated failure. It's incredibly hard to stay the course when everyone else feels you should give up. Every day, hesitation, uncertainty, and failure causes people to quit. It takes courage to face the fear of the unknown and the fear of failure. But how many ideas could turn out well if you trust your judgment, your instincts, and your willingness to overcome every obstacle?
Great teams are made up of people who know their roles, set aside personal goals, willingly help each other, and value team success over everything else. Great business teams win because their most talented members are willing to sacrifice to make others successful and happy. It takes remarkable courage to answer the question, "Can you make the choice that your happiness will come from the success of others?" with a resounding "Yes!"
But the payoff is worth it.
We all make mistakes (even if just for creating privacy concerns) and we all have things we need to apologize for: Words, actions, omissions, failing to step up, step in, show support. It takes courage to say, "I'm sorry."
It takes even more courage not to add, "But I was really mad, because..." or "But I did think you were..." or any words that in any way places the smallest amount of blame back on the other person.
Every boss has a title. In theory that title confers the right to direct, to make decisions, to organize and instruct and discipline. The truly brave leader forgets the title and leads by making people feel they work with, not for, that person. It takes courage to not fall back on a title but to instead work to earn respect--and through gaining that respect earn the permission to lead.
A customer is upset. A coworker is frustrated. A supplier feels shortchanged. An investor is impatient. Whatever the issue, the courageous people step up and take the hit. They support others. They support their teams.
They willingly take responsibility and draw negative attention to themselves because to do otherwise is not just demotivating and demoralizing, it also undermines other people's credibility and authority.
Courageous people never throw others under the bus, even if that shines a negative spotlight on themselves.
No one does anything worthwhile on his or her own. Even the most brilliant, visionary, fabulously talented people achieve their success through collective effort. Still, it takes courage to sincerely and humbly say, "Can you help me?" Asking for help shows vulnerability. But it also shows respect and a willingness to listen. And those are qualities every great leader possesses. Maybe that's why there are so few truly great leaders.
Many people try to stand out in a superficial way: clothes, or interests, or public displays of support for popular initiatives. They're conspicuous for reasons of sizzle, not steak. It takes real courage to take an unpopular stand.
And it takes real courage to take risks not just for the sake of risk but for the sake of the reward you believe is possible, and by your example to inspire others to take a risk in order to achieve what they believe is possible.
When things go poorly, giving up or making a change is often the easiest way out. It takes more courage to be patient, to believe in yourself, or to show people you believe in them. Showing patience in others also shows you care. And when you show you truly care about the people around you, even when others clamor for a change, they may find ways to do things that will amaze everyone — including themselves.
Maybe you wouldn't have the courage to say no to $3 billion, but do you have the courage to say no to requests for unusual favors, for unreasonable demands on your time, or to people who are only concerned with their own interests? Saying yes is the easy move. Saying no, when you know you'll later resent or regret having said yes, is much harder -- but is often the best thing to do, both for you and for the other person.
Don't be afraid to say no.

Generic Drugs, Are They as Good as Brand Names?
Medical Author: Melissa Stoppler, M.D.
Generic drugs are copies of brand-name drugs that have exactly the same dosage, intended use, effects, side effects, route of administration, risks, safety, and strength as the original drug. In other words, their pharmacological effects are exactly the same as those of their brand-name counterparts.
An example of a generic drug, one used for diabetes, is metformin. A brand name for metformin is Glucophage. (Brand names are usually capitalized while generic names are not.) A generic drug, one used for hypertension, is metoprolol, whereas a brand name for the same drug is Lopressor.
Many people become concerned because generic drugs are often substantially cheaper than the brand-name versions. They wonder if the quality and effectiveness have been compromised to make the less expensive products. The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) requires that generic drugs be as safe and effective as brand-name drugs.
Actually, generic drugs are only cheaper because the manufacturers have not had the expenses of developing and marketing a new drug. When a company brings a new drug onto the market, the firm has already spent substantial money on research, development, marketing and promotion of the drug. A patent is granted that gives the company that developed the drug an exclusive right to sell the drug as long as the patent is in effect.

Women's Basketball Drops Regular Season Finale at Anderson 79-57; Travel Back to AU on Monday in 1st Round of CC Tournament
February 27, 2010
ANDERSON, S.C. Anderson University held Pfeiffer University to just 22 second-half points as the Trojans defeated the Lady Falcons 79-57 in the Conference Carolinas regular season finale of the 2009-2010 womens basketball season on Saturday night. With the win, Anderson finishes 17-10 overall, 16-6 in league play, securing the #2 seed in next weeks conference tournament. Pfeiffer drops 13-14, 13-9 and has the #7 seed having to travel back to Anderson for the first-round tournament matchup on Monday at 7:00 p.m.
Anderson held a 40-35 lead at halftime after shooting 63% from the field in the first half. Shanice Wilsons basket three and a half minutes in gave the Trojans an early 8-2 lead. Christina Harvey and Devona Knight each brought the Lady Falcons to within two five minutes later, until Anderson went on 10-1 run pushing the lead to 11 at 24-13 with an Amanda Parris three-pointer.
Pfeiffer then bolted out on an 11-2 run to find themselves again within a pair on a Brittany Cox triple at the 6:30 mark. Knight then drained a jumper with 4:54 to play before the half tying the contest at 29-29. Another late 8-0 scoring streak by the Trojans capped by an Ashley Abed field goal, separated Anderson from Pfeiffer at the intermission.
Andersons defense took over in the second half holding the Lady Falcons to just 29% shooting from the floor. Alexa Neal put the Trojan lead back into double digits with a bucket at 16:14 while Parris recorded a steal and layup just minutes later that gave the hosts their largest lead of the night at 16.
Pfeiffer cut the lead to 10 on a Domonique China field goal just before the halfway point of the period, before Andersons Abed finished an 11-2 run with a jumper to put the contest easily in the hands of the home team by 19.
China led all scorers with 21 points on the night as the only Lady Falcon to finish in double-digit scoring. Abed paced the Trojans with 14 points, followed closely by Neals 13 and Korie Sellers dozen. Anderson shot 61% on the night while Pfeiffer shot just 36%.

I do not believe that we have some automatic sense of right and wrong. We learn it.
I don't know enough about the scientific debate to know whether the sense is inherent, learned, or a blend of both. My point is that each of those three options is testable to a certain degree. There is no evidence for the claim that the sense is the product of a supernatural entity, and we certainly can't test that claim.

Losing the right to host the Varsity Cup final will further inspire the Ikeys to win the inaugural title.
UCT finished top of the Varsity Cup log, only losing one league fixture. They edged Pukke on the hooter at the semi-final on Monday, a feat that should have secured a home final. However, it has been confirmed the final will be staged at the Danie Craven Stadium next Monday at 6.45pm. The fact that UCT's floodlights are not strong enough for television coverage has cost them the right to play this game at home.
"I know there was a significant student uproar over the decision, but it has been confirmed we will play in Stellenbosch," team manager Steve Butt told keo.co.za. "We had around 8000 people here for the semi-final and it would have been great to play this match at home."
Butt said UCT would not let this matter detract from what they need to do in Stellenbosch. Maties are the national club champs and have had the better of UCT at the Danie Craven Stadium in recent times, and it will take a special effort to beat them at home.
"We are helluva disappointed, but we won't lose focus. If anything this will fire the guys up even more.
"We've had to battle throughout this competition so it won't be anything new."

HP and Compaq LCD Monitors, HP TouchSmart PCs, and All-in-One PCs - HP Pixel Policy
Understanding pixel and sub-pixel defects
HP's Zero Bright Dots Guarantee for Specific 24-30 inch Performance Displays
This document pertains to all HP and Compaq LCD Monitors, HP TouchSmart PCs, and All-in-One PCs flat panel display monitors manufactured from 2003 and on.
NOTE: This article does not pertain to display hardware in notebook computers.
Understanding pixel and sub-pixel defects
What is a pixel?
Short for picture element, a pixel is a single point in a graphic image. HP TouchSmart PCs, All-in-One PCs and LCD flat panel monitors display pictures by dividing the display screen into thousands (or millions) of pixels, arranged in rows and columns. The pixels are placed close together so that they appear connected.
A full pixel is a combination of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel .
What are pixel and sub-pixel defects?
A full pixel defect is a bright white dot or very noticeable black dot on the display. No full pixel defects are allowed per HP's monitor specification.
A sub-pixel defect is also referred to as a dot defect.
Bright dot sub-pixel defects are permanently "on", displaying a colored red, green, or blue spot on the display at all times.
Dark dot sub-pixel defects are permanently "off", displaying a black dot on the display at all times.
A different type of defect caused by microscopic contaminants within the manufacturing process can also be found. Contamination results in a dark "stain" covering one or several sub-pixels. They are not pixel or sub-pixel defects per say. No contamination is allowed under HP policy.
Understanding HP pixel policy
The policy that applies to your monitor depends on the date of manufacture of your display. The following policies apply during the HP limited warranty period:
Policy for HP monitors and All-in-One PCs manufactured in May 2009 or later:
Policy for HP monitors and All-in-One PCs manufactured before May 2009:
The manufacture date can be found on a label adhered to the back of the monitor or All-in-One PC.
HP's Zero Bright Dots Guarantee for Specific 24-30 inch Performance Displays
For certain 24-30 inch HP Performance displays, HP guarantees zero bright dots.
This policy applies to ZR2440w, ZR2740w, ZR30w, Z24i, Z27i, Z30i, LP2480zx (regardless of manufactured date):
NOTE: The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. The only warranties for HP products and services are set forth in the express warranty statements accompanying such products and services. Nothing herein should be construed as constituting an additional warranty. HP shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein.

Comments about Sram PC-1090R Chain 2010:
This chain works great, isn't directional like the Shimano (you can't screw it up!), and can take more abuse than the KMC X10. I've never had one fail on me.
There are a few downsides though. The quick link is single use. I have KMC quick links for emergencies, which are good for 3 or 4 removals. The chain also seems to stretch fairly quickly (300-400 miles), but I also change it as soon as it gets to 0.5%
Comments about Sram PC-1090R Chain 2010:
It shifts better on my bike than other chains and it lasts longer. The power link is a little tight to install but it doesn't cause stiff links and it doesn't come off. The chain appears nto to have a connector at all with this link. Very nice

Novak Djokovic gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Rafa at a wedding
Rafael Nadal and girlfriend Xisca Perello were at a wedding this weekend in Spain. Cuuuuuute! I love him! I love them! Rafa is enjoying some down time before he prepares for the final slam of the season, the US Open. Mostly they care about the title, but he and Novak Djokovic are #2 and #1 on the tour and the tournament will likely also determine who's on top to end 2014. Full Story
Rafa is the greatest
Wenn, Fame/Flynet, Splash
On clay. This is for my cousin Cat who loves Rafa so much, with a lot of stress, and probably didn't sleep well last night thinking about this morning. It turns out the rain delay helped him. He came out hard today, finishing off Novak Djokovic in the fourth set, despite being down a break when they suspended the match yesterday. Full Story
Setting up the first final
Splash, Keystone
I have been up for way too long. Why is Australia so far away? Was watching the Murray-Djokovic semi-final at the Australian open, a sick 5 setter that resulted, ultimately, in a Novak win just about an hour ago. And he will meet Rafael Nadal who defeated Roger Federer yesterday. Well that's not a bad first Slam final of the year, non? You know me - I am for Rafa, always. Full Story
