Sort of a different request that I haven't run across before on here. I'm looking for any websites (or personal uploads) that might contain High Res pics (or just bigger pictures) of former or current Reds (more emphasis on former). I've checked the usual suspects (www.cincinnatireds.com, cincinnati.com) and I've done some extensive googling, but I can't seem to come up with anything other than the big names (Rose, Bench, Perez, etc).
The real player I've been after is Lee May and I've especially struck out finding anything bigger than a thumbnail. I have a nice printer and if I could find something close to an 8x 10 I'd love to print it out and have him sign it at the winter caravan stop. I know I should just buy it but I find that printing them out with a little photoshop help looks nice and is cheap (aka perfect for a college student).
I think others might possibly use these for autographs, desktops, whatever in the future so if someone has some good ideas or a good collection on the hard drive, I'd really appreciate a link or upload.

I've done very well for myself considering my age and would like someone to also be doing well for themselves. Not saying im a gold digger but if you are unemployed and living in your momma's house then keep on truckin bubba. I know what i want and i dont settle; nobody should. Im a sucker for a sweet smile and a country twang. big time country girl at heart! I can handle a gun and skin my own deer but will still let a guy bait my hook if it makes him manly lol. I drive a truck and have land (Ford is the best!) I love going muddin and fishing and drag races. pretty much anything exciting.

John Schindler, previously an analyst at the NSA and currently a professor at the Naval War College, has been making some interesting claims about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Schindler's voracious criticism and credentials have gotten him noticed by various media outlets who want a favorable perspective on the NSA to balance their programs with.
But on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell Schindler went full Godwin's Law on Snowden, drawing a comparison between Snowden and some of the 20th century's greatest mass murders.
Passion is nice, passion is good. Joseph Stalin was passionate. Adolf Hitler was passionate. We just buried Nelson Mandela who showed us how to enact passion in the cause of justice. Is what Edward Snowden is doing about justice or about a personal agenda, I'd really like to know.
Are Hitler and Stalin at all relevant to this issue? And even if you believe Snowden betrayed his country, as Schindler does, is that on parallel with the Holocaust? Why even invoke those names?
Schindler has a history of making questionable statements. But his issues with Snowden also include the alleged belief that Snowden is a Russian defector and is working for the Russian intelligence services – the FSB. A claim he has repeatedly raised without providing any evidence for.
@20committee USG says on & off record no intel to back your claim. You imply you know better, bluster when bluff called. Carry on. I'm done.
— Barton Gellman (@bartongellman) December 30, 2013
"Alleged belief" meaning it is questionable as to whether Schindler even believes this claim or simply remains in his old mindset of being a counterintelligence operative for the NSA. On Schindler's blog, 20 Committee, he ends his introduction in the About section quoting the old counterspy's mantra: Admit nothing; deny everything; make counter-accusations.
Snowden accuses NSA of illegally spying on the American people – Schindler admits nothing, denies everything, and says Snowden is a Russian agent. Old habits die hard.

We are a volunteer organization of residents who seek to preserve and enhance the unique qualities of our neighborhood through advocacy, education and community building.
A group of neighbors are working to improve Fourth Avenue and the BHA is supporting this effort. The letter that follows is a followup to a meeting held in January. Click on the links for more information about this worthy effort.
Howard Kolins, BHA President
We continue to hear positive comments about "A New Look at 4th Avenue".
As promised at the meeting, FOFA (Forth on Fourth Avenue) has put together a "Report the Community" to both document the meeting and to serve as a reference for future work. The report includes an IntroductionforANewLookat4thAvenueMeeting2014, a SurveyResults-ANewLookat4thAvenue2014, a MeetingSummary-ANewLookat4thAvenue2014 (key issues discussed at the meeting, including council member commitments), and a list of the organizational affiliations provided by survey respondents.
We hope that you will find this information helpful in developing 4th Avenue action plans for your organizations and we encourage you to freely make use of it – it is, in a true sense of the word, public information. If you have any questions about the material, please let us know. Additionally, we'd be happy to know if and how it is useful to you.
We also want to add a special thank you to Council members Brad Lander and Stephen Levin for generously sharing a significant amount of time at the meeting.
We look forward to future work with you on the 4th Avenue corridor.
SJ Avery and Elise Selinger Co-chairs, FOFA
Almost every day, some innocent pedestrian is mowed down by a careless or aggressive driver. This time it was an 8-year-old boy.
You can get sad and/or angry here, in the Post.
If you ever were concerned about the effect bridge tolls have on traffic in the city — and through our neighborhood in particular — this is an awesome op-ed piece by Sam Schwartz, aka, "Gridlock Sam."
Here's a taste:
In fact, under the new toll rates, big five-axle tractor-trailers heading to New Jersey from Brooklyn will be charged $60 to stay on expressways in Brooklyn and Staten Island and cross the Verrazano Bridge but nada, not a cent, to travel the streets of downtown Brooklyn, bounce across the creaky Manhattan Bridge, rumble through Chinatown via Canal St., tour the West Village and Chelsea via Eighth Ave. and head out the Lincoln Tunnel.
Something has to be done. Especially with the BQE about to begin, what, a twenty-year construction project? Sigh.
Did you hear the G train will be expanding service through Boerum Hill all the way to Church Av in Kensington? It's true. Beginning July 5th. Now you don't have to just wait for an F to get to Prospect Park. Huzzah.
Like the mighty titans of local coverage they are, the Brooklyn Paper gets candidates for the 33rd District (i.e., Yassky's seat) to reveal their stances on a Residential Parking Permit program. Read them here.
Just read these candidates positions from the 39th District on Permit Parking and it got me thinking. Lots of points of view.
Just read on Streetsblog that DOT is finally beginning to implement their "Downtown Brooklyn Traffic Calming" project they had originally promised to complete by 2006. Welcome news, although almost all the intersections they're planning to calm are in Brooklyn Heights and in south Gowanus.
Check it out here:
Residential permit parking (RPP) bill proposed by Sen. Squadron & Assemblywoman Millman to help block the use of Boerum Hill and other near-Manhattan neighborhoods as a "park and ride" for commuters from further out.

North Korea appears headed toward the capability to strike the U.S. with a nuclear-armed missile. The Associated Press reports, "In a report to Congress Thursday, the Pentagon made no estimate of when North Korea might achieve that capability. It said the North will move closer to its goal if it continues investing in the testing of nuclear and missile technologies. The report says the North's work on a space-launch vehicle has contributed heavily to its effort to build a missile capable of delivering a warhead to U.S. targets. That work was highlighted by the launch of a satellite into space last December."

Some people (called anonyms) choose to be anonymous, that is, to hide their true names, for fear of governmental prosecution or societal ridicule of their works or actions. Another method to disguise one's identity is to employ a pseudonym.
Occasionally, a person is referred to by a single name. For example, Teller, of the magician duo Penn and Teller, has no given names. (His parents named him Raymond Joseph Teller but he legally changed his name to "Teller".) In official government documents (such as his driver's license) his given name is listed as NFN, meaning "no first name". Arvind of MIT CSAIL is another example.
The Inuit believe that the souls of the namesakes are one, so they traditionally refer to the junior namesakes, not just by the names (atiq), but also by kinship title, which applies across gender and generation without implications of disrespect or seniority. In Judaism, someone's name is considered intimately connected with his fate, and adding a name (e.g. on the sickbed) may avert a particular danger. Among Ashkenazi Jews it is also considered bad luck to take the name of a living ancestor, as the Angel of Death may mistake the younger person for his namesake (although there is no such custom among Sephardi Jews). Jews may also have a Jewish name for intra-communitary use and use a different name when engaging with the Gentile world. Chinese children are called insulting names to make them appear worthless to evil spirits. They receive a definitive name as they grow up. Chinese and Japanese emperors receive posthumous names. In some Polynesian cultures, the name of a deceased chief becomes taboo. If he is named after a common object or concept, a euphemism has to be used for it.
Depending on national convention, additional given names (and sometimes titles) are considered part of the name.
The bare place name was used formerly to refer to the person who owned it, rather than the land itself (the word "Gloucester" in "What will Gloucester do?" meant the Duke of Gloucester). As a development, the bare name of a ship in the Royal Navy meant its captain (e.g., "Cressy didn't learn from Aboukir") while the name with an article referred to the ship (e.g., "The Cressy is foundering").
Different cultures have different conventions for personal names. This is a list of articles about particular cultures' naming conventions.
When East Asian names are transliterated into the Latin alphabet, some prefer to convert them to the Western order at the same time, while others leave them in the Eastern order but write the family name in capital letters. To avoid confusion, some always write a family name in capital letters, especially when writing for an international audience. This habit has become very common also in the international language Esperanto. Japanese names of contemporary individuals and Hungarian names are usually "switched" when individuals who have such names are mentioned in media in Western countries; for example, Koizumi Jun'ichirō is known as Junichiro Koizumi in English, and Puskás Ferenc is known as Ferenc Puskás. But Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese names and Japanese names of historical figures are usually left in East Asian order; for instance, Máo Zédōng is known as Mao Zedong in English.
Names of Japanese or Chinese sportspeople generally follow the above conventions. For Japanese examples, see Ichiro Suzuki instead of Suzuki Ichirō (although he is widely known simply as "Ichiro"), or Hidetoshi Nakata instead of Nakata Hidetoshi. As for Chinese sportspeople, Yáo Míng is Yao Ming and Liú Xiáng is Liu Xiang in the West.
Names of Korean sportspeople may be rendered in East Asian or Western order in Western countries, apparently depending on the sport. For example, names of Korean footballers and athletes are usually left in East Asian order (e.g. Ahn Jung-Hwan, Hong Myung-Bo, Park Ji-Sung, Sohn Kee-Chung, Hwang Young-Cho). Baseball players' names are usually changed to Western order; for example Park Chan-Ho is referred to in the West as Chan-Ho Park. Golfers' names are also typically switched to Western order; the female golfer Pak Se-Ri is known in the West as Se Ri Pak. Confusion can be avoided by noticing that in all the above cases, the words linked by a hyphen are the given name.
In some cultures, pets or sporting animals are sometimes given names similar to human names. Other cultures, such as the Chinese, give the animals nonhuman names, because it would be seen as offensive and disrespectful to the person of the same name. In Japan, dogs are often given non-Japanese first names, such as "John" or "Charley."
A study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences claims that humans are not the only animals that use personal names. Researchers from the University of North Carolina Wilmington studying bottlenose dolphins in Sarasota Bay, Florida, found that the dolphins had names for each other. A dolphin chooses its name as an infant.

At the beginning of 2011, PDE checked in on the monthly Small Business Optimism Index to find that small business owners were "stubbornly cautious." Fast-forward to the midpoint of the year--in the dog days of summer—and the feelings haven't seemed to change at all.
Last week, the likely impact of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on new and small businesses came under scrutiny by members of the subcommittee of Investigations, Oversight and Regulations of the House Committee on Small Business.
The U.S. Congress is currently observing the typical August / Summer recess. They are scheduled to return to Washington on Tuesday, September 6, following the Labor Day holiday.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation-- courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week:
Earlier this summer, the Kauffman Foundation announced its ideas for a broad set of policy recommendations that would help accelerate the creation of new startups and stimulate the US economy. The Startup Act, as it was called, just received a bit of extra attention with today's copy of the Wall Street Journal.
Following the 11th hour deal last week that brought an end (at least for now) to the debt ceiling crisis, the House and Senate are observing the typical August / Summer recess. They are scheduled to return to Washington on Tuesday, September 6, following the Labor Day holiday.
A handful of hearings are scheduled for the week ahead, including: the House Committee on Small Business looking at how industry-led portable skills certification programs are meeting the workforce needs of new and small firms; and, the House Committee on Financial Services reviewing legislative proposals to reform the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As Congress nears the end-of-year holiday recess (which may or may not technically happen), all eyes are on the payroll tax deal negotiations and the expiration of the latest temporary spending bill. Meanwhile, several hearings are happening on Capitol Hill and of interest to PDE followers, including a look at the possible expansion of top-level domains through ICANN.
Several hearings are on tap for this week, including a pair in the House Judiciary Committee dealing with immigration and intellectual property concerns.

It was about four months after their birth that an aunt noticed Adhi and Adhri's heads looked "abnormal" in shape.
When they came to AIIMS in March from their home in Kerala a few days after their first birthday, the heads of both babies had grown vertically rather than horizontally — a condition known as craniosynostosis, where sutures or natural divisions in the skull bones fused in the womb, leaving little space for their brain to grow.
The condition is rare, with 1 in 5,000 cases reported in international literature, and the AIIMS neurosurgery department getting about 10 cases a year. But for the institute, this was the first time that monozygotic twins, who looked identical otherwise, had this abnormal growth, with one twin having a more prominent vertical growth than the other.
"Adhi's head was swollen more than Adhri's, and the shapes were different," said Dr. Deepak Gupta, additional professor of neurosurgery at AIIMS who operated on the babies.
"In surgeries for this condition, we remove the bones and resize and reshape them by artificially breaking them and inducing fractures. But since these were identical twins, we had to resize the bones and shape the heads, to make them look exactly the same," he said.
The mid-line of the skull, known as centre ridging, which divides the left side and the right side of the brain, were missing in both babies, leading to a "perpendicular bulge" in the skulls. "The intracranial pressure or the pressure in the brain was very high in both babies. Such high pressure leads to headaches, abnormal brain development and can result in loss of vision," Gupta added.
The fear of their babies having different shaped heads haunted the parents, till a day after the surgery.
"We named our children after Lord Shiva, because they looked the same. We dressed them the same way, barring the fact that Adhi smiled at his doctors and Adhri started howling, our kids looked the same. It was a huge shock when we first started noticing their heads were odd, and then gradually when Adhri's head swelled more than Adhi's," said their father Binu Mon P R, a businessman based in Alleppey.
In the surgery that lasted about eight hours — four hours for each baby, one after the other, "to ensure we maintain continuity of shape" — doctors opened their skulls, extracted the primary bones and then cut and broke them inducing multiple fractures to resize the bones to decrease the brain's vertical growth and increase horizontal growth.
"We had to ensure that for every re-alignment, we left sufficient space to allow the brain to grow in the new direction. The growth of the brain is maximum till about three years of age, so we had to ensure we did not obstruct that, because that would lead to developmental disorders," Gupta explained.

Shuttle Endeavour astronauts working outside the orbiting International Space Station faced glitches during a second spacewalk on Thursday, as one astronaut experienced high carbon-dioxide levels.
Lead spacewalker Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and rookie astronaut Shane Kimbrough returned to the space station's Quest airlock at 0043 GMT after a 6-hour, 45-minute outing.
The astronauts' main job was to work on one of the space station's two rotary joints, which are needed to pivot solar wing panels to face the Sun for power.
The astronauts had to share grease guns and other tools after Stefanyshyn-Piper's tool kit, which contained $100,000 worth of gear, floated away on Tuesday.
During Thursday's spacewalk, levels of carbon dioxide levels in Kimbrough's space suit rose above NASA's safety limit, prompting controllers to order him back to the airlock just as the spacewalk was ending.
"It didn't represent a drastic change to our plan," said John Ray, NASA's lead spacewalk officer. Kimbrough was not in any danger and did not report any adverse symptoms, Ray said.
It was the second of four spacewalks planned for the 15-day mission, which had to be reorganised after Stefanyshyn-Piper lost the grease gun.
During Thursday's spacewalk, she used pre-lubricated wipes to trap metal particles, and Kimbrough used the one remaining grease gun to work on the station's robot arm.
The shuttle arrived at the station on Sunday to work on the station's truss joints and deliver equipment needed to prepare the station for a permanent six-person crew.
Currently, rotating groups of three astronauts live on the station, which Thursday marked the 10th anniversary of the launch of its first module – the US-financed, Russian-built Zarya compartment.
Over 160 served
NASA had planned to finish construction in eight years, but delays after the 2003 Columbia accident postponed the station's completion until 2010.
"We've had a number of significant issues to deal with on the ISS, and yet always a solution to those has been with our partners pulling together," said NASA's deputy space station programme manager, Kirk Shireman.
The station, which orbits about 340 km above the planet, is a $100 billion project of 16 nations. Since the arrival of Zarya, it has completed more than 57,300 orbits of Earth and hosted 167 people – including six tourists – from 15 nations.
The ongoing shuttle mission is NASA's 27th shuttle flight to the space station, with eight more remaining before the shuttle fleet is retired in 2010. NASA also plans a final servicing call to the Hubble Space Telescope next year.

Fred Thompson campaigns in Tampa Bay this weekend
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Fred Thompson, the newest entrant into the race for the Republican nomination for president, is campaigning in the Tampa Bay tonight and tomorrow.
Is the 65 year old actor ready for prime time?
In a taped interview to be broadcast on Bay News Sunday, Thompson shared his thoughts about the late Terri Schiavo, the comatose Pinellas Park woman and the controversy on whether to insert a feeding tube to keep her alive.
Thompson said local matters should usually be left to local authorities, but then confessed he didnât know all the facts surrounding the case, and couldnât pass judgment on it.
Daryl Paulson is a professor of political science at the University of South Florida, St Petersburg. He says it is understandable Thompson is rusty on some issues because he has been out of the political fray since he stepped down from the Senate a decade ago.
After "testing the waters" for several months, Thompson officially announced his candidacy just last week. It happened considerably later expected, and some analysts say he has gotten in too late.
Several columnists have not be kind to Thompson based on his first week on the trail. Gail Collins wrote in the New York Times on Thursday: âWhen it comes to overhyped underperformers, Thompsonâs entry into the presidential race was right up there with Britney Spears at the MTV awards.â
Other critics have said Thompson could be this yearâs Wesley Clark, the former NATO supreme commander who had never ran for office before running for the Democratic nomination in 2003. Clark quickly showed his inexperience, and was never a serious factor in the race.
In Thompsonâs case, there are questions about his energy levels. Newsweek magazine last weekâs cover story showed him with the headline, âLazy Like A Foxâ.
Many Republican fundraisers in Florida hesitated before signing up to support Thompson for president. One of Tampa Bayâs biggest GOP rainmakers, Al Austin, signed on as finance committee co âchair just last week.
But with current polls showing most Americans would prefer to see a Democrat in the White House in 2008. Others say a âRonald Reagan Conservativeâ such as Thompson is being portrayed, could be successful in the current political climate.
Rudy Guiliani doesnât think so.
As the frontrunner in most polls in Florida, the former New York City mayor conceivably has the most to lose with Thompsonâs entry into the race. Perhaps aware of that, Guiliani is now telling audiences that his moderate stances â such as on gay rights, gun control and abortion rights - might not make him a favorite candidate for conservatives now, but do make him more electable in a general election.
USF-St. Pete Political Science professor Daryl Paulson says Guilianiâs message about electability is dead on.
Fred Thompson speaks tonight in New Port Richey, at Pasco Countyâs Republican Reagan Day Dinner.
Heâll appear tomorrow morning at a gun show at the Lakeland Center in Lakeland around 11 a.m.comments powered by Disqus

Patient Opinion has announced a "mash-up" with NHS Choices comments released onto a Cabinet Office website to promote new uses of government information.
The independent website, which was founded by a Sheffield GP and is funded by subscriptions from trusts, regulators and others, has taken an NHS Choices data feed from a site run by the Cabinet Office's Power of Information Taskforce and combined it with its own service.
This means that patients and carers can find comments about hospital care posted on either Patient Opinion or NHS Choices, using Patient's Opinion's site. And subscribers can generate reports using feedback from both sites.
Comments that were made through NHS Choices are identified with a logo, since identifying the source of information is one of the conditions of using the feeds provided.
James Munro, Patient Opinion's director of informatics and research, told E-Health-Insider that the Cabinet Office site is "tapping into a new mood in government of 'let's share'."
"There is a growing recognition that no organisation, including the state, can do everything and a willingness to say 'let's see what happens if we put information out there'," he said. "More and more departments seem to understand that they need to let go and see what people can do."
He added there was no evidence that NHS Choices was unhappy with the development and said he would be happy to see the government site take a feed from Patient Opinion in the future. "I see feedback as a public resource," he said. "It needs to be used."
Patient Opinion initially set up in Yorkshire and only covered the whole of England in June last year. It still receives fewer comments about services in London and the South East; where NHS Choices seems to have a stronger presence.
"It was our subscribers who said we like Patient Opinion, but we are also seeing information on NHS Choices, so we now have to go to two places," said Munro. "We thought that should not be necessary, given the way the web works.
"The mash-up is useful for users and for subscribers, because they get information about all the comments that are being made in one place.
"What we are really interested in is getting information and turning it into something of real benefit to the NHS and its users. We felt that NHS Choices could do more with the information it had.
"Our subscribers include trusts, patient groups interested in particular conditions and MPs who want to know what is happening in their constituencies; people who can really use information to make a difference."
The Power of Information Taskforce is running a competition to encourage people to submit ideas for new services using government data. It has persuaded a number of government departments to release their data for mash-ups and new services.
Munro said Patient Opinion was looking at some of the other feeds that had become available. "We are definitely looking at doing more, because there are some very interesting things on there," he said.
Power of Information Taskforce
Another differenceunknown 359 weeks ago
IWGC has a long list of doctors, many of whom having no reviews i.e. name not entered by someone making comments.
The list is not taken from the GMC - I could not find doctors I know to be registered with the GMC.
Where is the list of names obtained?
I tried to find individual doctors on Patient Opinion but couldn't: not that that would help with the 1st and 3rd comments if unsubstantiated accusations can never be removed from the record precisely because, never having been investigated, they have never been refuted!
Thanks for your openness in the previous postunknown 359 weeks ago
Striking the right balance is indeed a challenge, however the attitude displayed in the previous post and the fact that Patient Opinion is developing a track record and appears to be seeking to do 'the right thing' is very encouraging and seems a little at odds with the IWGC approach. Are these two services competing for the same audience? If so which will win out, the one that errs on the side of caution - or the one that errs towards sensationalism.
What is the business model for these services?
Response from Patient Opinionunknown 360 weeks ago
I'm one of the team running Patient Opinion. Mary Hawking raises some important points about anonymity and authenticity in her comment above, and as you can imagine there is a balance here which we are keen to get right.
Currently over half the feedback we receive is positive. A small number of postings are strongly critical of services, and we will verify these by email with the author before publication. Where a member of staff is named critically in a posting we will edit the posting before publication to avoid the risk of defamation. For example, if a patient writes: "Dr Smith was rude and arrogant" we will edit to "The doctor I saw was rude and arrogant".
Very rarely we receive a posting which makes a serious allegation about a named professional. Our legal advice is that we can neither publish nor forward such a posting, whether to the Halthcare Commission or anywhere else, so we do not do so. We do, however, email the author of the posting to explain this and encourage them to raise the issue formally with the local service if they wish to do so.
We feel this strikes a workable balance between ease of use for the patient, truthfulness for the public and fairness to staff, and is ethical and legal. We work with 60 NHS organisations and to date (touch wood) those organisations and their staff have been generally supportive of this approach.
But like everyone we are still learning how to patient feedback on the web well, in a way which produces real service improvement, so we welcome comments on how we might do this better.
Is this suitable to send to regulators?Mary Hawking 360 weeks ago
both Patient Opinion and iwantbettercare are very keen to assure contributers that there is no way they can be identified or that they have received the services upon which they are commenting.
This may be a good policy to encourage contributions, but is also a license for the malicious complainer, and will be more so if and when anonymous comments and complaints are sent to regulatory bodies - as happens now with Patient Opinion (all comments even if not published sent to the Health Care Commission) and hoped for in the case of iwantbettercare (GMC) .
We already know that an unsubstantiated allegation which was never investigated can remain on your police record and affect your CRB check: is it the intention of the founders of these sites that the same system should apply in professional regulation?

MoP Beta Files: Faction Roundup
I don't know how many of you have analyzed the recipe lists on Crafter's Tome (if not, why not?) but most professions have only one faction to deal with. This is especially true of "gear" professions - those of us who'll be making armor. I've compiled a brief chart here to highlight this:
Blacksmiths: Honored reputation with the Klaxxi
Enchanters: Revered reputation with the Shado-pan and the August Celestials
Jewelcrafters: Honored/Revered/Exalted with the Order of the Cloud Serpent
Leatherworkers: Honored with the Golden Lotus
Tailors: Honored with the Golden Lotus | Exalted with the August Celestials
You can see that Blacksmiths, Jewelcrafters and Leatherworkers have a single faction which holds recipes for them. Tailoring has a second faction, but that can be skipped if you don't care about making the new uber-bags. The vast majority of these new recipes can be unlocked by grinding one faction and you only need to reach Honored with that group.
One major exception is Enchanting - you'll need to work on two groups and you have to get to Revered with each group. However, the recipes are divided by type. If you want to focus on weapon enchants, you start with the Shado-pan. For those who'd prefer to get the bracer enchants, you can go with the August Celestials. This at least gives you the ability to prioritize the types of recipes you want.
The other major exception for faction recipes is Jewelcrafting. Instead of simply going to Honored, Jewelcrafters have new recipes at each of the top three reputation levels. I think the main reason for this is that the goodies they're unlocking are seriously awesome and entirely optional. So you Jewelcrafters out there are going to have to work a bit harder to get these recipes. They are the ones that make the new panther mounts. The final recipe at Exalted is the Jeweled Onyx Panther. For those who don't care to tackle the massive grind, you can stop at Honored and pick up just the first two. Or you can go for Revered and have all four colors. If you want to make the top of the line panther, you have to reach Exalted.
A minor exception to the new face of faction grinding is the MoP Tailoring bag. They put this on a different faction from the gear and they made it also an Exalted level item. I think we can assume from this that they want access to this bag to be pretty well gated. Again, these bags aren't really required for any player. I think it's reasonable to make the pattern harder to get.
In general, I appreciate that they put in a lower bar for the gear recipes. Players greatly rely on crafted items to progress through heroics and early raids, so it shouldn't require days and days of faction grinding to access those recipes. And I feel that the recipes which do demand a higher grind are those which are fun/convenience items and will not interfere with character progression.
Feel free to leave your thoughts in the Comments! If you have a question I can try to answer it, but the Beta realms will be coming down any time now and I might not be able to dig up an answer for you :)

If you only play a main, this is a fine system. For altoholic crafters, it sure seems quite unpleasant.ReplyDelete
1) is there a rep grind / faction that is a prerequisite for the others? GL?
2) speaking of rep grind, what about guilds? Are the pants on the beta and do they benefit you from 1-85 or 1-90?Replies
I'm not endorsing this as a good system for crafters, merely pointing out that it's less bad than previous expansions where recipes for one profession were commonly split among 3+ factions. In WotLK the recipes were spread out to as many as 6 different factions for a single profession. IMHO this is a meaningful improvement.Delete
1) I believe that Golden Lotus rep is somehow blocking access to the others but I don't know the details on how it works. I tried checking this on Wowhead but they have no helpful info either.
2) I don't know much about guild functionality as I have spent very little time in a Beta guild. As far as I know the pants have not been implemented yet. I have one toon who just joined a guild last week but the guild vendor had no wares at all when I tried to check him out.

Correct Hagu. I don't think the real goal is to penalize altoholics so much as it is to benefit guilds. It's like the comment made in the other thread about making DMF cards: make a stable of eight scribes. Who can do that? Mostly, guilds. Looked at from the perspective of one person running a stable of alts it stinks; looked at from the perspective of a level 25 guild with 300 members gating content behind reps is a big fat yawn.ReplyDelete
@11:33: It's not your system, I don't want to argue/attack you but I see it differently. Penalize and benefit are just different words to refer to the same thing, whether you focus on paying men more or women less, it is just different semantics for the same situation. I also dislike how everything is pushing towards megaguilds. The 999 person guilds will have stuff capped before dawn on the 25th whereas. I probably do more crafting than a lot of small friends & family guilds. If all the perks push you towards joining a large guild well above the Dunbar number, then what is the advantage of a guild?ReplyDeleteReplies

I don't think it's nearly as bad as you are making it sound. Remember, this is still supposed to be an MMO game - at least in theory. Following this theory, you shouldn't be able to reach self-sustaining status with any ease. Group effort should matter, because getting a number of people to work together is always something of a feat. If everything could be easily done by a single person and their stable of alts, then I can't imagine how much it would trivialize things when you add more individuals to the equation (or how much it would let one person with too much spare time on their hands dominate the AH).Delete
Don't get me wrong, I like crafting very much. Different aspects on different tons. I wasn't a big fan of how access to the various recipes had been handled in the previous expansions. But so far in MoP, I consider this to be a pretty good compromise. Honored is usually very easy to reach, so putting the most important recipes at that level (and making it more focused) is a fine choice. Vanity and convenience items being a little harder to obtain is also a decision that makes perfect sense.
There aren't many literally huge guilds out there, so I'd consider that one example to be somewhat extreme.
While this might not be ideal, it certainly seems like several steps in a good direction have been made. If there is anything that bugs me at this point, it's the fact that reaching revered Golden Lotus seems to be necessary to make real progress with August Celestials and Shado-Pan.
I feel your pain Hagu, really I do. I am fiercely independent with my girls and I take pride in providing for myself as much as possible without infringing or depending on others. However, I think Blizzard feels differently about that playstyle. This recent comment from Ghostcrawler would seem to make that loud and clear:Delete
Q: Dunno if you're the best person to ask, but why not make reputation achievements account-wide? I see the reasoning for actual reputations, but it's one of those limiting character-swap achievements for me. Making interchangeable reps such as Warsong offensive/valiance hold only count once would be a good compromise, but atm it's annoying having 38 & 8
A: Why not make loot account wide? Or leveling? At some point you're not actually playing the new character.
Their design philosophy seems to be more about each character being a separate entity that is played in its own right. Not that each toon is an extension of one player who does all the work 10 times over.
I still think there are some ways they could acknowledge the relationship without destroying the immersion factor. A reasonable compromise would be that a Revered or Exalted toon could unlock account "perks" that ease the grind for subsequent alts. I liked what they did in WotLK where an Exalted toon could purchase commendations for alts. A more elegant approach would be to build in a bonus multiplier on your account when you unlock a rep for the first time. Later toons would get the benefit of the multiplier (say 50% increase for Revered, 100% for Exalted).
- AesandilSeptember 14, 2012 at 8:04 AM
I both agree and disagree with GC. On one hand, I don't particulary like grinding the same reputations all over again. On the other, I would really hate to see a situation where everyone can become self-sufficient without putting in a lot of effort and without a solid time investment. A lot of crafters here seem to forget that in their need to have everything done by themselves (and you do benefit from having achieved such status, after all). Imagine if everyone could do that - it would essentially kill the economy and the market. Like I'd said before, it is an MMO. There is a good reason behind gating some of the most sought after recipes, or making them BoP raid drops. It's not fun when looked at from the "me & myself" perspective, but makes some sense when looking at the bigger picture.Delete
The compromise you mention is an interesting one, Kaliope. Maybe it would be the right way to go, with some tweaking.
Well this is a lively conversation we've got going - how fun! I don't worry too much about everyone becoming self-sufficient and the market drying up. I live with 2 young WoW players who don't enjoy professions and would never put forth the effort that I do. For every one of me there are 5-10 players who log in for raids/dungeons and don't want to do much else. I do think there should be some kind of effort required, I don't want those people to suddenly get easy access to great recipes either :)Delete
I don't mind so much working for the recipes I collect. But I do get discouraged when an alt needs to reach Exalted just to unlock one recipe (Kirin Tor - ugh).
You must get to revered with Golden Lotus in order to start the dailies for the August Celestials and Shado-Pan. I need to spend some time trying to figure out if there are currently any quests in game other than the dailies which reward rep for those two factions.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for filling us in on that! Looks like Enchanters will have their work cut out for them.Delete
This is in response to Hagu, Anon and Kali (since I can't post a reply on this computer for some reason). Hagu I feel your pain. Anon, I understand your point about it being an MMO, but that doesn't help dead servers, and their CRZ hasn't fixed this aspect of the dead servers. Until they implement cross realm AH (which I have mixed feelings on), some realms have major shortages in professions. And the number of motivated guildies just seems to decline as people quit. I've maxed every profession except for engineering (which I'm leveling now) just so I can produce the items my friends, raid team, and I need, and help the people who have been asking for ENCH/JC in trade for 45 minutes with no replies. At this point I probably will still level each prof in MoP (and get these recipes), but I'm not sure. It will depend how sick of it I am after the 4th or 5th alt. May just take my time and reachReplyDelete
I'm surprised no one said in response to Ghostcrawler, "Well, you've done this already. You've made gear account wide, to an extent, and remember cold weather flying?" due to the BoA archy items, new inscription staffs, and heirlooms. Those are, with the exception of the new inscription staffs, rewards for persisting through a long slog (leveling and obtaining JP/honor, or archy). Cold weather flying in WotLK, was, in its entirety, a reward for maxing out a toon already. The inscription staffs are just...a nice perk for people who leveled it, which is easy, with the "grind" being doing your daily scroll creation? Not very annoying, so I can't see any reasoning there that would make it an exception from Ghostcrawler's statement.
So my point is, gating them being a rep grind (again, since some were gated in WotLK, but those you could get rep with while leveling) is pretty silly and tedious (as is the gearing via the rep method), which they had said they wanted to get away from. At least in Cata they were only gated behind a few quests. They should treat them the way they treat many other tedious grind aspects of the game, and make the rewards, not the rep, BoA. You don't get them for free, if you really want the rep (either to achieve rep achievements, or perhaps for price discounts?) you still have to grind it on a seprate toon, yet you're not gated behind a pretty silly grind. These profession recipes could be like cold weather flying and be BoA and one use.
Oh well, no point dreaming of what could (should?) have been since we're a week and a half away and they are not changing it now. Maybe they'll go BoA when SoH become BoA... ;)Replies
They may not change anything now, but they certainly could in a future patch. They can always add BoA items to the faction vendor that allow us to boost our alts. There's always hope!Delete
@Aesandil "On the other, I would really hate to see a situation where everyone can become self-sufficient without putting in a lot of effort and without a solid time investment."ReplyDelete
One could argue there is a lot of effort and solid time investment required to become self sufficient...leveling another toon (to at least 80, more if you want the better recipes) and slogging through the professions, several of which are quite a pain in the rear (LW particularly springs to mind. I'll never do that again). So I'd posit GC is a little off base in a way. Yes they don't want it to be too easy (nor do I), but until they give you one of the other things there (a free max toon, which I would argue would be much worse to give us) then you'll always have a large investment required to add a new profession. Adding the rep grind is just tedious to the point of being pointless, at least in my experience on the beta. But, I hate dailies. Others don't, so may love doing a ton on every toon, at least until Golden Lotus rep is done.
Like Kali said and I inferred, many people have 0 interest in professions. My personal situation is that I need to make up for whatever professions others in the guild aren't covering. No one is forcing me to, but I don't want us to be disadvantaged initially because other people can't be bothered to level professions. I'll probably get frustrated after a short while though, and just end up maxing what I need to on my main for gearing purpose, and then make my way through the other reps over 6 months or so. Or until they implement Kali or my suggestions helping alts. I think they're more likely to make the recipes BoA since doing it Kali's way would result in easily leveled reps on alts, which they've already shown they're averse to, but they have a history of BoA items/recipes.

Club Penguin Blog
Blog — What's New
I was recently asked to talk about Club Penguin's most notorious criminal. For those of you who have not experienced the island's veggie villain, here's the scoop.
Herbert is a curious creature. I'm not an expert, but I'm quite sure that polar bears are good swimmers and eat meat and fish. The bear that washed up on OUR island is both vegetarian and terrified of water. Perhaps one of these things caused him to leave the other polar bears in the Arctic.
Maybe there was no good vegetarian cuisine for him there? Or maybe he was bored? I suspect his departure had more to do with his quick temper and tendency towards villainy.
Despite how many times we've run into Herbert and his schemes on the island, I think there's still more shenanigans to come...

As you may know by now, we are nuts for travel blogs. For long we have followed the adventures of these digital nomads that call all corners of the world, home sweet home. We have started a series of interviews with this brave bunch, in order to get some answers to our burning travel questions.
Meet Lauren Juliff, the creative mind behind one of the most inspiring travel blogs to date. She is very candid about her good and bad experiences abroad, which will enable you to fully join her in exciting trips around the globe. The girl is a magnet for crazy adventures, and after traveling to over 41 countries, we are more than happy to spend a good while reading all about of it.
Follow the footsteps of this talented storyteller and avid world traveler on her Never Ending Footsteps travel blog, also on Twitter and Facebook.
Who are you?
My name is Lauren and I'm a full-time traveler. In 2011, I decided to quit my job, sell everything I own and set out on a round the world adventure. I had originally planned to travel for a year but after a few months I decided I didn't ever want to stop exploring. I now work online as a freelance travel writer and editor, which allows me to work from anywhere.
What triggered the idea of becoming a long-term traveler?
I think I've always craved traveling long-term but didn't really know it was something people did until a few years ago. I spent twenty-odd years looking forward to a two week holiday only to arrive and find myself filled with dread at the thought of having to return home. I accepted that that was how my life would always be… until I discovered backpacking and long-term travel. I spent five years saving, planning and dreaming until I finally took the plunge and bought a one-way ticket out of England.
How did your family and friends react to your decision?
My parents weren't surprised, given that they'd had to put up with my wanderlust for much of my life! They were quite frightened, however, and didn't like the thought of me traveling on my own. They've calmed down a lot since then.
I think my friends didn't quite understand my decision. They spent many months putting me down, telling me I was going to die, that I wouldn't last more than a week. They weren't particularly supportive!
What city would you recommend to our readers for a memorable visit?
Ljubljana, in Slovenia. It's beautiful, small, walkable and cheap. It has great food, amazing bars, friendly locals and a fantastic music scene. It's my favorite city in Europe and I hope to one day spend a few months living there.
Any cities you would never return, even if paid to do so?
None spring to mind. There are certain cities I'd be quite happy to never visit again — Shanghai being one of them, but I'd still return if I was paid! I'm always happy to have my mind changed about a place.
What was the most memorable experience you've had in this journey?
It would have to be the night I spent camping in the Sahara Desert in Morocco. I got to visit Berber villages, ride camels over the sand dunes at sunset and sunrise, and camp under the Milky Way for one magical night. I'll never forget the feeling of laying on a mattress on a sand dune, staring up at the billions of stars and feeling so incredibly small.
What place did you experience the biggest culture shock?
China. It was the first country I ever visited in Asia and it was definitely a tough one to start with. I found it hard to deal with the constant attention from the locals as they raced around, trying to snap a photo of me. I struggled with the food as a very picky eater who had never once tried Chinese food before arriving. I struggled with the locals spitting anywhere and everywhere, and the children peeing in the streets. It was hard to deal with and I actually cut short my time in China because I found it so challenging.
Now that I've had a lot more experience traveling in Asia, I'm quite keen to return and give it another chance. I'm sure I'd have a completely different experience second time around.
What does it take to be a long-term traveler?
A lot of patience, a desire to be challenged, and a lot of money.
What is the best food in the world?
Pho, from Vietnam. I could eat it for three meals a day and never get sick of it!
What has been the biggest lesson you've learned from this experience?
That you can't prepare for things to go wrong. I used to spend hours worrying about the various different things that could possibly go wrong on the road — and all it achieved was an awful lot of stress. The bad things that happen are always things you don't expect — being scammed, being in a tsunami, having a woman die on your boat, having your boat start to sink — these all happened to me and they were all unexpected. The things that I wasted time and energy worrying about never happened.
What's a piece of advice you would give someone that wants to be a long-term traveler?
Don't make plans, expect things to go wrong, save a lot of money before you leave, and travel with an open mind.
Thanks Lauren for the inspiring interview! We hope to hear a lot more from and about you.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – South Dakota state budget director Jason Dilges has become president of a national association of state finance officers. Dilges will be president of the National Association of State Budget Officers for the next year. Gov. Dennis Daugaard says the selection of Dilges to head the association shows his counterparts across the nation recognize his expertise and knowledge of complex state budget issues. Dilges joined state government in 1995 as a budget analyst and later became state economist and deputy state budget director. He has been commissioner of the state Bureau of Finance and Management since 2002.

IT WOULD be like watching a supermassive black hole in "fast forward". Studying the gamma-ray source Cygnus X-3 could reveal how these objects evolve.
Cygnus X-3 is thought to be the remnant of a star in our galaxy - either a black hole or a neutron star - feeding on a disc of material. Now two sets of observations have shown that it is emitting high-energy gamma rays. Supermassive black holes do the same, and if similar processes are behind the bursts, watching Cygnus X-3 could tell us how they develop as they gobble up matter from their surroundings. Cygnus X-3 is smaller, and so will evolve faster (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1182174; Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature08578).

While I was working on my photo book, I noticed it was hard to find a picture my cousin (Thalia)wasnt in but oddly enough I couldnt find a photo of her by herself of that particular gathering. So this is her on our NYC shopping trip last fall. I love this wordle thing it is so cool. I cut and pasted the characteristics of my cousins sign into wordle and threw in a couple of my own adjectives lol. I think I forgot a few words oh well.

Everyday Living
Vision loss that occurs in adulthood can present special challenges. After relying on your sense of sight for most of your life, you'll likely discover that blindness, visual impairment, or low vision can require adaptations in the way you manage your everyday life and activities.
Losing your vision, however, does not mean that you'll have to give up your independence or any of the activities you currently enjoy.
In this section about living independently at home with vision loss, we provide tips, techniques, and information about helpful products that can help you accomplish a wide range of everyday tasks, including home modifications, kitchen adaptations, household organization, orientation and mobility skills, recreation and leisure activities, and home repair.
