Norah Jones: Don't Know Why
Don't Know Why
Norah Jones (vocals, piano)
Come Away With Me (Blue Note 32088)
Norah Jones (vocals, piano), Lee Alexander (bass), Jesse Harris (guitar),
Dan Rieser (drums).
Composed by Jesse Harris.
Recorded: New York, no date given (CD released in 2002)
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
This lovely ballad, composed by Jones' guitarist, helped catapult the vocalist's Blue Note debut to the stratosphere. "Don't Know Why" won the Grammy for Record of the Year (one of five Grammies awarded to Jones that year), and was a major reason for the twenty million copies sold of this landmark CD. Everything clicks here - the wistful melody, Jones' impeccable phrasing, the understated accompaniment. This unexpected success for such a nuanced performance restores our much shaken (and sometimes stirred) faith in the taste of the mass market.

What is BlueBOLT?
On Thursday, July 15, 2010, Panamax/Furman announced they're giving away a trip to Wine Country in Sonoma County, California as a part of their How Do You BlueBOLT? contest.
For those who aren't hip: BlueBOLT is a web-based platform that allows homeowners to manage their audio/video entertainment systems and how it uses power from anywhere around the world, with plug-and-play setup and minimal configuration. It also alerts homeowners of possible damaging power surges or energy spikes through email.
Check out this out this video introduction to BlueBOLT, and then read on below for more information about the contest.
How to win a Trip to Sonoma
Panamax and Furman are looking for homeowners who have interacted with BlueBOLT to share their experience now through December 31, 2010, for a chance to win a trip for two to Wine Country in Sonoma County, California.
If you don't already own a BlueBOLT-compatible power management system, you can still participate in the contest, of course. You'll just need to learn a bit about the technology by watching the BlueBOLT orientation video found at mybluebolt.com/certification, taking a quick quiz, and entering the certification code you receive into the main entry form at mybluebolt.com/contest. The chances of winning are based on the number of valid entries received.
The drawing is random and grand prize winners will receive a two round trip flights for two adults ages 21 or older to Sonoma, California, and includes two nights' lodging, a day tour of Sonoma Wine Country Vintners, and five meals, including one dinner at a fine restaurant. For more details about the prizes, visit the How Do You BlueBOLT? contest page.

No matter if you are a fan of the martial arts or not everyone knows Jackie Chan. His status as both an actor and stuntman has become legendary at this point giving fans an expectation of what they will be getting with each film. Back in 1991 he debuted his film Operation Condor aka Fei ying gai wak about an Indiana Jones type adventurer with martial arts action that featured some of the most amazing stunts and action ever. Now he is returning to that character in a reboot of sorts with his latest film Chinese Zodiac, but does this more mature Chan plan to bring the same over the top action to this series or will he finally feel the need to tone it down?
Chinese Zodiac follows a mercenary and his team who set out to recover several lost artifacts from the Old Summer Palace, the bronze heads of the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals which was looted by foreigners in the 1800s. Assisted by a Chinese student and a Parisian lady, Hawk stops at nothing to accomplish the mission. When the film begins it jumps right into the insane action using wild technology that has become expected from this series. It sets a tone that you are walking right into an old school Chan film and instantly gets you excited for what's in store. Then as it shifts to the bigger picture of the story it slows down to a crawl. It looks as though Chan is working to create a more story driven adventure, which is fine and works great, but knowing what you expect from Chan will likely lose some. Make no mistake, there are some huge action pieces in the film, they are just spaced out pretty far apart and never quite live up to those in the past, but that could be just because of the high standard Chan is held too at this point. The second half of the film takes fans into a more familiar territory bringing all the fun that they are used to including a great sequence involving skydiving and a volcano. The fight sequences that are here are all great and while not all as hardcore as some of his past he has not missed a step and still manage to be some of the best out there.
This is not the usual insane Jackie Chan action epic that fans are used to, but instead a more story driven with bigger action pieces in an attempt to make a broader film. Some fans may not get it and that's fine, they can always refer back to his awesome catalog of films while the rest of us let this new chapter in Chan's career play out to see where it is heading.

Intelligence plus Character...the Goal of Education
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou
shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Psa 32:8
Thank you for your interest in First Christian Academy. FCA offers an independent, non-denominational Christian education. Our Pearland location offers classes for students from Pre-K3 through High School.
First Christian Academy (FCA) was established in 1989. First Christian Academy offers an independent,
non-denominational Christian education. As of 2004, FCA's student body is represented by over 50 area churches. Christian education is taught by word and deed, through everyday activities, including snack and meal time and indoor and outdoor play. Chapel is held weekly and is age appropriate. Bible stories and Christian character are taught through the basic curriculum including Math, English, Social Studies, Science and Spelling. FCA is designed to stand behind the parents and enforce the values and character of our families.
FCA has achieved and maintained a Model Status (the highest honors awarded) from Accelerated Christian Education, since 1991. First Christian Academy is also a member in good standing with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
Benefits to Attending a Christian School
The world debates…… Christian School vs. Public School. Allow us the opportunity to point out five important facts to consider…..
1. FCA teaches that the Bible is the guidebook for our lives and that a personal relationship with God is the way of escape from the difficult issues in life.
2. FCA students receive a quality education. Our academic philosophy concurs with the Bible by teaching precept upon precept. FCA offers small classes with personalized instructions. Children are not pushed through school -- mastery of concepts is required before advancement.
3. The administration of FCA hand selects students and families that are like-minded with the philosophy of FCA. Our motto is, "A Christian School for the Christian Family".
4. FCA has taken every precaution possible through screening and our interviewing process to provide a safe, Christian environment.
FCA Philosophy
It is our desire and commitment to partner with our parents to provide a quality education which encourages each child to grow academically, socially and physically as well as spiritually. The staff are all Christians and model Christian life before the students. Our staff treats children with love, respect and dignity.
In addition to academics, school is a place where children can develop a good work ethic through day to day classroom activities and responsibilities. Education is a tool that is used to teach character and values. One definition of education is instruction in truth. The Bible teaches that all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ Jesus (Col. 2:3) and true wisdom comes from God (James 1:5). Therefore children of all ages need the Lord and need to be taught to seek knowledge and wisdom from the Lord in every factor of life, including academics.
Our Motto
FCA is a Christian school for the Christian family.
Our Vision
The vision of FCA is to teach and training children and young people to be young people of integrity, responsible and apt to teach and learn. We believe schools and teachers are given the unique opportunity to be used by God to mold and encourage young people to become all they can be for the Lord. We also believe Christian schools and teachers must have strong values and standards of excellence. Therefore, the student body of FCA is carefully selected through the application and the parent and child interview process to find families of like purpose, direction and passion.
Deuteronomy 6:5-7, Proverbs 22:6
Statement of Faith
According to the IRS, FCA must have a Statement of Faith. The directors and administration understands and does not expect all staff of FCA to believe or totally agree with the Statement of Faith, but all staff must be able to support and not oppose the Statement of Faith. The administration of FCA focus' on the major—leaving the minor to individuals. FCA believes if one studies out the Word of God, they will be able to do so. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and instructs man in the daily living, attitudes and lifestyles pleasing to God. The gospel is Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. It is obeyed through repentance, water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus and infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with tongues, as the Spirit of God moves upon us.
Admission Disclosure
FCA admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin, and /or religion. Each student is granted the same rights and privileges, allowing the same opportunities to enlist in any program or activity, including educational policies, admission, scholarship programs, and athletic or other school administered programs.
First Christian Academy attempts to serve a large cross-section of children accepting students with average and above average performance/abilities. Students are accepted based on character as well as personal goals and values.

GNOME 3.0 Hits Desktops Today
"In the face of constant change, both in software technology itself and in people's attitudes toward it, long-term software projects need to reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant. I'm encouraged to see the GNOME community taking up this challenge, responding to the evolving needs of users and questioning the status quo," says Matt Zimmerman, Canonical CTO.
According to GNOME, nine years and over 3500 people, including employees from 106 companies, have contributed to the project's code repositories and it is through these efforts GNOME prepares to unleash GNOME 3.0 as it announces today that GNOME 3.0 with the new and innovated GNOME shell UI redesign is now available for download.
Features for GNOME 3.0 include a sleek new look, built in messaging, distraction free computing, redesigned system settings and more.
Complete with a new GNOME 3.0 website and a newsletter devoted to the GNOME 3.0 release, the GNOME project is poised to bring this new desktop to millions of users around the world as it partners with Novell, Red Hat, other distributors, schools and governments, and user groups. In addition the GNOME community has over 100 launch parties planned to celebrate this, "A revolutionary new user interface and new features for developers make this a historic moment for the free and open source desktop."
More about the GNOME project and the GNOME 3.0 release can be found on the GNOME website.

So many Tennessee fans were riding on the Derek Dooley bandwagon under the premise that the Vols would finish out the slate of November games in their usual winning fashion. Such a premise would have left the Vols with a disappointing, but somehow mildly palatable record of 7 wins and 5 losses. A minor bowl game would have followed in which a victory might have stoked the fires for a happier 2013 season.
All of that changed on Saturday when Missouri walked out of Neyland Stadium with a 51-48 victory in 4OT's.
Now, Tennessee fans can HOPE for a 6-6 season and an even more insignificant bowl game, but a good Vanderbilt team, possibly the best ever, will have a lot to say about that next weekend in Nashville.
Either way, Coach Dooley will not be running the Big Orange showcase next season.
The only question that remains is when will this inevitable move be made and who will replace him next season? Will Dooley be allowed to finish out the season as a lame duck, or will there be a press conference tomorrow to appoint Jim Chaney as the interim coach?
The only thing that is crystal clear at this point is that this is the beginning of the end of the short-lived Dooley era. Some of these remaining questions should be resolved within the next day or two.

I was the runt of the litter
I was the weakling
I was the last to discover
I was the ugly duckling
We're all the same on the inside
Though we're always up against anybody's outside
And it's hard to live up to strangers beautiful color
Some people always finish last still i ended up a badass
I was never on the team
I could never seem to click
But in the end i guess i just wasn't into it
The best i advice i ever got was
Don't be somebody you're not
And it's hard to measure up but i think i'm enough

Ryan Braun returned to the Milwaukee Brewers today after serving a 65-game suspension to close out the 2013 season due to his involvement in the Biogenesis drug scandal.
The 2011 NL MVP was welcomed back by Brewers fans with a standing ovation as the Brewers dropped the Braves, 2-0, in Opening Day action today. Braun went 1 for 4 with a stolen base, and scored on Aramis Ramirez's two-run double.
The Braves collected just five hits on the day, as the offense was silenced by Yovani Gallardo's six shutout innings. Andrelton Simmons had two hits, but no Brave got past second base.
Julio Teheran got the nod for the Opening day start, giving up two runs in six innings. Teheran allowed seven hits and one walk, after being pressed into the start due to injuries by Kris Medlen, Mike Minor, Gavin Floyd, and Brandon Beachy - yes, four of the five starting pitchers that were penciled in for the Braves' rotation this season.
The series will continue with an 8 PM first pitch tomorrow night and Alex Wood taking the hill for the Braves, while Kyle Lohse will start for the Brewers.

The Complete Concert 1964 - My Funny Valentine + Four & More (Legacy/Columbia)
Miles Davis (trumpet), George Coleman (tenor sax), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), Tony Williams (drums).
Composed by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart.
Recorded: live at Philharmonic Hall, New York, February 12, 1964
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Without a doubt, this is an essential Miles Davis recording. Full essays have been written about this performance, and there's no way to do it justice in a couple hundred words. So, assuming you already know that Miles and his second quintet perform one of the most amazing transformations of a popular song, let's focus on a pair of important highlights. First, there's Miles and his sound. Unlike the tightly controlled Harmon-muted sound of his Prestige recording, here he plays through open horn with a tone that seems … bruised. If the earlier version sounded like the nervous anticipation of a new love affair, the later version is the pained sound of a messy aftermath. It is well documented that Miles was having a tough time in his personal life during this period, and it's not much of a stretch to feel that pain reflected here. The other important highlight is the sensitive work of Tony Williams. He was 18 years old in 1964. Now think of every 18-year-old drummer you've ever heard (are you cringing?), and then listen to Tony on this recording. Not only did he play with extreme taste and restraint, he knew when not to play! In fact, during about 5 minutes of this 15-minute recording, he doesn't play at all. Would there be more musicians with that amount of good sense.

One of President Obama's primary objectives after his election to the White House in 2008 was to unite Americans.
It now seems that in 2011, President Obama has done just that!
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement has united people from every walk of life, and in doing so has taken on a global appeal that is uniting people all over the planet!
Individuals, groups and organizations around the world have descended upon the international financial industry demanding that they be held accountable for their greed and for the role they have played in our slowly deteriorating worldwide economy.
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement has also provided Americans with the perfect platform for addressing additional challenges that have not only plagued our nation since its founding, but that have also managed to keep us divided on many of our common issues.
However, we all seem to think and feel the same way when it comes to the imbalanced distribution of wealth in this nation, and we all understand that the consequences could be severe if we continue to allow the chasm to grow between the upper, middle and lower classes.
There is power in numbers, and it looks as though (as Americans) we finally have the numbers needed to stimulate the necessary dialogue that will effectively change the way we do business in Washington D.C.
Politicians and financial experts alike have been scrambling around the clock in search of a strategy that will bring "Occupy Wall Street" to an end – because it does not appear that anyone will be walking away from this protest anytime soon.
We will seemingly be in this one for the long haul. There has been no desire expressed by anyone to pass on the failings of our system to future generations.
Americans, not divided by race, gender, religion, political affiliation or sexual orientation, have decided to take a stand now to make a difference for the future.
The initial agenda is clear – reduce the growing gaps between the classes. What is not clear is how to reduce these gaps.
However, there is one thing that is certain for all of us when it comes to this issue of balancing the financial field of play in this nation – nothing will change if we do not develop a plan to address the target, move forward together and stay committed to the course (just as President Obama intended).
"Occupy Wall Street" is democracy in action, and if the movement is successful…it will be a movement that will never end. We as Americans will stay together and continue to insure (through assembly and protests) that our government implements and enforces the necessary reforms that will create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and provide all Americans with the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of living in a prosperous society.

A long analyzis on saber styles and types (REPLY)!
REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY with Saber offense and defense lvl 3 and jump lvl 3, NO THROW OR OTHER FORCE POWERS, pure duelist.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a jedi academy or dueling master, i am just an above average dueler who sometimes eighter sux or is really good. Do not try to argue any of these points if you disagree with them by going "I am god at JA" or "You have no right to talk like that, you are just an average player" *inser curse words at random*
Ok, here is my imput...
So far as i have played i found that:
Single (first game, second IS WAY different)
An average non-newb player can utilize heavy stance to get opponents easily. My last server i had my ass kicked everytime i used dual and staff with heavy stancers. Their heavy swings OUTRANGE any of my attacks and rolling stabs did quite nicely agaisnt kata's etc. Yellow and blue was and should be used only for lunge and dfa. (Using yellow or blue agaisnt staff or duals is a suicide which i will explain in second part of the post.) I never won a game at that point.
Analazis: The only consistent saber style Singler's should use is heavy. So far the following works very nicely:
Never let Dual\staff get close. They will turn you into Croutons in 5 seconds if you will. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE and utilize SIDE TO SIDE HEAVY SWINGS. This WILL outdamage and outrange D\S people.
To counter the special special moves of those things the following works nicely:
Lunge Jump with heavy stance if done at proper time, which most skillful players should be able to do, WILL pin down a butterflying\kata opponent if you will begin the actual pinning while they aren't spinning with the saber to damage. Most of the time I had did a butterfly or Spinning Kata they just finished me on the spot with that exellent attack.
Roll and stab. Roll around to the side of your opponents and stab them. Doesn't do damage but scares your opponents into doing a stupid mistake.
Light Lunge, instead of roll and stab and actually can do nice if you do this right at the end of enemy special move before they jump away but after they stop dealing damage, this is A VERY fast attack.
Skillful swing. Rare, suicidal, if works you are a sabering god or are very acrobatical.
Run and pray that they will not hit you. These moves are devastating, and if you feel that you cannot preform the upper dont even try. If you mess up with one of these chances are you get away with an enourmous glowing scar or die.
CONCLUSION: Primary: Use heavy swings and KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, I CANT STREACH THIS FAR ENOUGH! Secondary: Apply Light and Medium and Heavy special moves to counter special attacks of dual or staff. WARNING: Light and medium for consistent fighting won't work. Dont even bother unless they ask questions like, how do I do a kata?
SECOND GAME. Analyzis of Dual and Staff
At this point I got used to the game and stuff, etc. and went on a roll by winning 4 games in a row. Just, Like, That.
Acrobatics is your life. Staff is PATHETIC to every stance and other sabers in the game when it commes to running around holding attack button. Exceptions are discussed below.
Acrobatics, what are they? These are what certain idiots call whoring special moves or newbie only stuff. STAFF RELIES ON WHORING SPECIAL MOVES or "NEWBIE ONLY STUFF". Do Butter flies, katas, twirls, and rolling stab all the time. Don't even think of fighting your opponent in button holding style, just retreat until force regenerates enough for a special move, preferably the "Move in any direciton + attack + jump". (As a very nice replyer pointed out, you can metamorph this into a roll stab for a surprise attack). While doing acrobatics calculation is A MUST. Unlike in single player, you do not have control of direction every second in the special move, but you have more then any other stance during their moves. UTILIZE THAT. ALWAYS try to get close to your enemy or force them to chase you, but the end result is this: Make sure they will get in the spinning across Y axis with staff at damage mode: scoring these hit does MASSIVE damage and you should do atleast 3 of these hits if you do it correctly.
THIS IS NOT WHORING SPECIAL MOVES. You cannot physicaly whore them due to the fact that all of them cost force or just never happen when you need them. THIS IS ACROBATICS, the point and the STYLE of the staff.
Now, the non acrobatic aspect of the staff involves its spins and ability to do medium damage at very fast pace.
GET CLOSE AND PERSONAL. Staff has EXELLENT parrying and KICKS light and yellow stance's arse if you get right next to hte opponent. If they do heavy swings they are messing something up because as i explained earlier heavy swings are at range. A single saber duelist WILL die if he gets a staffer or a dualer to close. Otherwise by the time their hit gets you, they are dead meat. Your only problem if you are close and personal is the Light Lunge, but most people just panick and can't lock on you and repeatedly smash their buttons which leads to their demise.
Preferable motion is going around them using foward+strafe keys while holding down attack motion, or even better strafing past them with spins, thus doing guranteed damage if they are to slow to move out of the way.
JUST ONE WARNING. Dual sabers (ill explain later) are superior in this aspect of fighting. Doing this agaisnt them will kill you. Sorry.
Also the fact that this is predicatable will let opponents a way to counter this easily with a heavy swing at your head while you spin, since they can avoid the blows if they know where they are coming from.
Kicks and deathblows, dont bother. Wait until the patch fixes 'em cause they never work agaisnt a non-newbie, unless there is lag.
CONCLUSION: Primiry Tactic: ACROBATICS Secondary: Close and personal spin-dicing. Everything else is at your preference. WARNING: Try to use a combo of staying far and using acrobatics to get close, or you will die against heavy. NO you won't live otherwise.
Dual Sabers.
Ahh, my favorite for duels.
Now if Single saber relies on distance, staff on mix, then this relies ON CLOSE AND PERSONAL. Acrobatics are just for escaping or getting into position for a twirl or something like that.
Analizing Time :cool: :
What is the main streangth of Dual Sabers? MASSIVE amount of attacks with low damage. Your strategy here is to inflict maximum # blows while not get hit. Don't worry that it takes to many blows to kill someone, if it took 3 - 4 blows then duals would be overpowered.
Now, for the Sweet Spot of this style: TOTAL RANDOMNESS. If you twich all the time when swinging like mad your attacks will change DRASTICALLY! Its almost impossible to predict where these attacks come from unless you are some sort of a superhuman. These attacks will surprise even YOU, the USER! And that makes them leathal. Quite a bit of your low damage will ALWAYS get through, adding up to the lethality of the staff or the range and pure power of Single. You want to get very close VERY fast and the jump + foward+ attack move is just MADE for that. Its fast, non-threatening (people don't dodge this to often because of its low chance to hit) and easily timed. Once you are close and personal GO DIAGNALY in circles around enemy while twiching thus your attacks will come from every direciton non-stop. They swing, they are Croutons once again. If staff user tries to do the Crouton technique on you you will own him way sooner before he does any fatal damage. Don't forget that when you swing like this your opponent's attack rarely appear due to the fact that he cannot swing since his saber is blocking all the time. Also the Saber Twirl move (crouch+ foward+ attack) has a very nice arc , over 180 degrees, and is unblockable with massive damage. Also, the fact that if you miss with your rolling stab you get a second chance to stab them with the saber that goes out of your arse (lol). If hte opponent thinks he tricked you and is behind you when you roll, dont steer off! Keep doing this and he will impale himself!
For the Saber Spin Shield i also find it useless, people just roll stab me the second this is over.
CONCLUSION: Primary Tactic: Get close VERY fast and begin the Crouton Technique. Devastating! Secondary Tactic: Use acrobatics with twirl and uniqe rolling stabs to get your opponent. Also can work nicely. WARNING: staying at range with dual sabers is a suiciade. Using Saber Shield is a very risky chances, doesn't pay off agaisnt smart opponents who will stay out of its range only to stab your arse.
Single Saber is now gets the following score:
(3 base)
SURPRISE ELEMENT\STRATEGY: 2 (.5 for beeing old school favorite)
RANGE: 2 (extra point for acrobatics)
VERSATILITY: 3 (sorry single, you aren't place there)
SURPRISE ELEMENT\STRATEGY: 2 (again, extra point for acrobatics)
VERSATILITY: 1.5 ( .5 for extra nice rolling stabb and twirl\acro. combo)
POWER: 1.5 (Lowest power of all)
SURPRISE ELEMENT\STRATEGY: 3 (Not as much strategy as SE, this thing is VERY RAPID AND RANDOM)
Any best? In my opinion, NO, all sabers are balanced right now, don't mind the scores sum because they are flawed due to the fact that some elements complement others REAL nice. Each one using a variety of strategys (and not accounted here, PLAYER CREATIVITY) to win, it all depends on skill now. There are no truly newbie friendly or hard to learn stances\types, because a good player can kick a so called "skill raised because of staff newbie" arse using one of those strategies.
Other notes: If you don't really play duels, don't go here, i know perfectly well that some of these types were made for "crowd control", but that doesn't go in advantage's disadvantages for these sabers, this is NOT POWER DUEL, ITS one ON one!!!
There you have it! Not complete, I know, but this sums up the current no force but jump sabering quite nicely IMHO.
Critticism welcome, no flaming plz, don't mind the spelling, i am russian so english ain't my best!
plz dont ignore me? :confused: :(
Nice! Thanks for taking the time to type that up for us. :)
*shifty eyes* can mods make this a sticky for a day or 2? I just want to become famous :)
You forgot to mention the Staff Kata can be canceled into a roll (adding a roll stab if you desire) at the end of it, thus ensuring you don't get nailed from being exposed at the end of the Kata.
..... :rolleyes:
Really nice work there Qaz. :D Your post is a nice change to all those "RAVEN MAKE A PATCH CUZ I CAN'T KILL EVERYONE AND THEIR GRANDMOTHER WITH THE SINGLE SABER ANYMORE"-posts I've seen lately.:p (Ok, maybe there aren't that many posts like that, but you get my point, I hope....)
Yup yup, a VERY good and thorough post, I must say.
Thanks darth, added.
I get about an average of a thousand on Dark Sides(mostly :rolleyes: ) on JK2 and I think that was a great post Qaz.
P.S. Especially because I don't have JK3 right now and I'm a noob at JK3 and I still understood how the sabers work in JK3 :) :D .
Very good work qaz.
I actually disagree with your thoughts about single saber.
Red stance, close to the enemy is very very deadly. The right side slash for example hits twice, when your saber is behind you and when is infront, if you manage to do that you will let the enemy close to dead, then you have the 2 other hits of the combo which will kill him instantly.
Then about blue and yellow against staff and duals. I use yellow a lot when the enemy is close to death. The blue lunge is very lethal, and the normal blue slashes can be used to finish an enemy (any).
Yellow dfa is absolutely useless, every time i try it i fail.
I have only hited with it twice, one was an instant kill (100/100), and the other took 100 shields. And both were against an standing player.
I am sure it has it goods, maybe against saber barrier or some kata but i duno.
About staff and duals i cant really tell cause i havent used them not even once.
But i know saber barrier is incredibly strong, when using it in close close combat, using yawspeed, it worths the sacrifice to let them hit you afterwards.
Thats all.
Yes, but there is a problem with red swing. When blocking with heavy stance, you get the least then out of any other stance. Meaning while your saber is knocked back you are getting CREAMED if a dual or a staff is close enough. Your strategy DOES work agaisnt staff as i told you because staff is predictable and slower then crazy duals. Also, I do not disagree that a skillfuly done heavy swing will be efficient anywhere, but agaisnt duals? BE REALISTIC.
On my second official test game every one of my opponents but one used heavy swings at 1 point of the dual. They used exactly what you said, a red chain that went like this quite fast \ --> / a couple of times, but it DID not help them :cool:
By the time they were making the swing they were doing it quite in some other direction because they tried get away from the blocking lock i was inflictic on them with exessive dual random swings, then i did another one of my twitches and that is the end of them. Your strategy agaisnt duals will work if your opponent doesnt use the randomness of duals to his advantage, thus repeating exactly the same thing all the time, while on the other hand a smart dual guy will easily mess up your needed aiming for this swing and shall "Crouton" you to death.
using yavin is a script, which is not normal dueling, its about the same cheese (only less powerful) when people just scripted blue lounge to murder poor players with touch of a button. NOt to mention any idiot who will stand in the way of the Saber SHield deserves to die without any scripts whatsoever... (altough if you trap your opponent into an inescapable situation, saber shield is deadlier then twirl sometimes because of range and AoE.)
Your strategies on using yellow DFA, well, you got unlucky sorry. You just can't get the right moment unlike other players can, so you have to adapt differently. For me that move ROCKS, you can't imagine how pleasant it feels to Decapitate ( on dismemberment upon death servers) a Butterfly staffer.
And lastly, your light stance can work on "hit and run" style attacks, but if some goes for Crouton, light stance will be overwhelmed with immense # of attacks, (if it wasn't, duals would be useless agaisnt light, :(, so balancing issues make my method of Crouton possible)
Also, you are proving my point that everyone also has their own small tricks up their sleeves which works the best for them. I am just pointing out THE most effective strategies agaisnt players who aren't super-reflexed and aren't the true lamers (scripters to do moves for them, not scripters who do fun and enjoyable stuff for everyone). Once again, am just above average player, so I am not trying to convince everyone that my small analyzis brings the BEST solution.
I dont agree with you on staves being useless.
When i vs a red stance with my staff i almost never kata, butterfly because that would just lead to hp dmg for myself.
What i do is slash and keep slashing keeping my distance, then getting small hits when thier open.
After 10 mins of duel i have high hp and red user is now dead.
Sometime during that 10 mins, most people get impatient and go deep (around the time they are low health) for a hit and thats when i use Butterfly.
Its boring, long, pisses the red user off, but it works.
If i get behind a red user, i move around them 360 degree spinning my saber.
Against other styles? If im playing serious i do the same;
Chipping life till they die.
I also disagree on red stance "creaming" double when close.
If your close to the double he can duck and start his quick speed swinging around the leg.
Its all the matter of skill, patience, and timing.
I dont think anything truly sucks, they all have its uses.
Blue, Yellow, Red all have moves that are useful.
Who said that staves where useless?
Read posts more carefuly
Second, I DID NOT say that red creams duals or staves up close, i said the opposite...
All the time i point out that heavy is a long range and should be used long range, because duals and staves are (especialy duels, its their primary job, while this is secondary for staves) perfect for cutting stuff up close.
Btw, with sabertracesaberfirst 0 and Saberdamagescale 2 I find most swings to be deadly if landed on the non-blocking areas of an unshielded foe.
People who say a move is "useless" usually just haven't gotten the timing down. Ditto for "Unstoppable" moves, which usually have more than one counter.
It just takes time and patience to learn the differences between this game and JK2 (whatever version you played). That's to be expected since this is a sequel...
And I'm NOT dissing your post in any way, it was well done, I just wanted to throw my opinion in here. ; )
Kurgan, what you are saying is right most of the time, but let me show you it this way:
Kick is useless because... I land a succesful kick: my enemy falls down exactly the same way as a stormtrooper does from lvl 1 push. Now look at the second part of the problem:
Groundstab Deathblow: there is NO delay before you can roll or jump out of lying on the ground. Groundstabs hits mentally ill or laggers.
Sabershield: as I have been playing, i so far found that it is not useless when enemy can't roll or jump away. But we are talking duels here, meaning not a single area is a corridor unless a dueler wishes to die.
I am calling these moves useless because i have never seen ANYONE use them effectivly, not because i cant use them
Well, there is a very nice trick to use with kick.
Kick your opponent, and if he drops (this is random) immediately do the staff spinning kata. Usually they can't get out of the way before you hit them. Had this done to me and I died instantly. It's also fun to do on other people.
But the deathblow really is useless.
You sure? Might work, but shouldn't you just jump over the body?
Ill try that...
very nice post.
on the staff: one of my favorite moves is to come at them with a forward+right attack then switch to a strafe right. against single sabers this tends to knock the saber away and then i get a slice or three on them with the spin of the saber. staffers are affected pretty much the same way. duals can sometimes block it, but most ive found will just try to attack you as you meet them and get their sabers knocked aside.
if i knock my opponents saber aside, i usually follow up with a strafe left for another quick two hits and then a back+left or back+right to retreat as most people get pretty pissed and follow me.
if i dont knock their saber aside i either back off if it looks like theyll recover or i kick em just to piss em off.
just my thoughts. great post.
really not the worst thing I've ever read :amidala: , infact: very nice... I'd have liked to do sumthin like this too, but was a bit lazy... -.-
cool, reminds me of the great Duelling Tutorial for JK2 (written by Marker0077)
btw my favorite move is the one which in jk2 was the so-called fan-swing (or the left-right-maneuver), especially with saber staff it rocks. very good to keep attacking while avoiding the other's attack. (needs some feeling to get the timing tho). you can also do the more offensive version: diagonal right, diagonal left, diag ... ...
You may be right about the ground stab, it is rare to get it to hit. However the value of knocking a person down should not be underestimated, as others have pointed out, you can start a kata or other move on on their body that they won't be able to kick/flip out of (they could still try to roll I guess).
Also kicking a person off a cliff works.
i'd like to have the two-sabers roll-stab weakened. One hit can kill someone with 100/100 hp. with other sabers, this attack is way weaker. and maybe butterfly should require more force points (or anything else that would stop noobs from doing nothing but butterflies, expecially in duels)...
but I guess this is not the right place to talk about *what young Obi-Wan wants to have in the update patch*.
Just about all the issues people have raised about unequal moves damage can be easily resolved with one simple command:
g_saberdamagescale 2 (or higher if you want).
To stop people from "spamming" simply raise the Force Mana Regen rate (default is 200.. higher and it takes longer for your mana to recharge... lower and it recharges faster).
umm in the patch they should make the kick do like 15 hp damage, I think they balanced everything against kick way too well :rolleyes:
Well the fact is, a well timed kick knock down can mean an instant kill (if you pull off a quick move or knock them into a pit), so perhaps that's why they chose to make kicks only do 2 hp worth of damage.
I hear in the patch that kicks are improved (other than just the sound effects), I haven't really messed with them much to know if that's really true myself though...
they also mde kicks take only 2 hp b/c they foresaw ppl doing a force pull+kick+force push over edges all the time. I see ppl doing it alot, especially in those stringy, tiny little platforms over mile-long drops in ctf maps. I hate those damn canyons and deep holes. they're scary :P

Kanye West
Kanye West is an American born rap star that originaly found his fame rapping to the beat in inner city USA. After making a break through in the music industry Kanye has gone on to create several top awards. Kanye is currently engaged to Kim Kardashian.
Their parody of Kim and Kanye's "Bound 2" music video had millions of hits on YouTube and was posted all over the internet and now, James Franco says Kanye asked he and Seth Rogen to perform "Bound 3" the night before he ties the knot.
Appearing on "The View" to promote "Of Mice and Men," Franco said "We got a call from Kanye. Seth and I were on the phone. We thought he was just going to let us have it. But he loved it. And I'm pretty sure I can say it now because I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. He wanted us to perform it live the night before his wedding at Versailles."
We heard what Kanye West thinks about his fiance Kim Kardashian's assets last week when Future's track for "I Won" hit the web, and now we get to see the boys in action.
On Friday (April 18), the music video for the tune hit the web, which is featured on Ciara's beau's new album Honest.
They say the third time is a charm, and Kim Kardashian wants everything to be perfect when she says "I Do" with Kanye West.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cutie toured the Chateau Louis XIV in Louveciennes, France earlier this week, and there's a strong possibility that she's chosen it as her wedding venue.
Looking to break a sweat, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West headed over to L'Usine in Paris, France on Sunday afternoon.
The "No Church in the Wild" rapper and his "Disaster Movie" fiancée put in a good session at the gym before hitting the showers and making their way to Chez Ferdi for some gourmet fare.
Preparing for a big summer concert season, Outside Lands announced their 2014 lineup on Tuesday (April 8).
Gracing the stage in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park will be headliner Kanye West along with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Killers, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
They both have lovely fiancées to brag about and that's exactly what Kanye West and Future do on their new track "I Won."
The "Love Lockdown" rapper mentions his lovely wife-to-be Kim Kardashian as well as the rest of her outspoken showbiz family, and it seems the song's title just might be a slam toward Ray J who recorded "I Hit It First" about his relationship with the "Disaster Movie" dame.
First the Rolling Stones cancelled their Down Under tour and now Kanye West is hanging his Aussie fans out to dry.
The "Love Lockdown" rapper has announced he'll postpone his 2014 Yeezus Australian Tour because he needs more time to work on his forthcoming album.
Revealing the madness behind his recent spoofs, Seth Rogen said he's "a huge fan of Kanye West," despite his constant mockery of the rapper and fiancée Kim Kardashian.
In an interview with the Associated Press, the 31-year-old comedian said, "I'm like just really into his music, and when we made the original [parody], we were filming 'The Interview' in Vancouver, and we kept trying to go to Kanye West shows that kept getting canceled, or the dates kept changing and it happened like two or three times."
Facing time behind bars, Kanye West was quietly arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 27).
The "Love Lockdown" hitmaker spent less than an hour in police custody due to his altercation with photographer Daniel Ramos at LAX International Airport last year.
Treating themselves to a delicious feast, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West strolled over to the swanky Waverly Inn in New York City on Tuesday night (March 25).
Always wary of the paparazzi, the "Love Lockdown" wore his hood up as he led his lovely fiancé into the Greenwich Village eatery.

Jan. 6, 2013
PALO ALTO, Calif. – The Arizona State University wrestling team opened the Stanford Duals on Sunday with a rout over the Stanford Cardinal, 30-7, for the second win in conference competition this season.
The Sun Devils (6-2, 2-0 Pac-12) jumped out to a 16-0 lead through the first four matches following victories by Matt Kraus, Nathan Hoffer and Joel Smith at the 133-165 weight classes and it was smooth sailing from there.
The early victories at the lower weights paved the way for the Sun Devil big guys to do what they have done best this season: win.
ASU's four ranked wrestlers at 174, 184, 197 and HWT all posted victories on Sunday, outscoring the Cardinal 33-6 in their four matches.
No. 14 Blake Stauffer got things going with a 10-1 major decision over Dylan Morris at 174 pounds, setting up a 17-4 rout by No. 15 Kevin Radford over Ryan Davies in the 184 weight class.
No. 8 Jake Meredith had to grind one out against Michael Sojka, winning 2-1, but the one point came courtesy of a stalling call in a match where Sojka just couldn't find a way to take the senior down.
Levi Cooper downed Dan Scherer in the heavyweight matchup to seal the deal of the Sun Devils with a 4-0 victory.
ASU still has remaining matches against Rutgers and No. 23 Penn before the day is over. Updates will be provided upon completion of those events.

Social television is an important aspect of the work that we do at HIP GENIUS. Because a majority of our clients are entertainment content providers, engaging with social TV platforms has become a necessity. Here's info on 3 platforms you NEED to be paying attention to.
Let's start with the biggest player in the space: GetGlue. GetGlue is an entertainment-based social networking platform. Users check-in to the entertainment that they consume using the website, mobile website or a device-specific application. After checking-in, users receive points, may earn virtual stickers and earn discount coupons from entertainment companies. The reason why we like GetGlue is mainly because of all its features. The Quick Rate App allows users to rate their interests. GetGlue offers also recommendations of what the users might like and/or dislike based on their ratings. Users start earning stickers for using Quick Rate App or checking in to shows, movies. They can also subscribe to other users and see their "likes" and "dislikes."
We recently executed a very successful partnership and sweepstakes with GetGlue on behalf of Killer Elite and AMC Theatres that launched on 8/29. In total, 6 stickers were debuted for the film including ʻComing Soon', ʻCountdown' and ʻBox Office' stickers. Users who earned Killer Elite stickers were entered to win a pair of free movie tickets. Over 45,800 users checked-in to the Killer Elite with an overall social reach of 22.2MM!
Another prominent social television platform is Miso. It allows users to check-in to their favorite shows and episodes to unlock virtual badges and earn points. However, unlike GetGlue, Miso strives to move beyond the check-in and offer more of a second screen experience. The platform has recently made headlines because of their partnership with DIRECTTV. Once the app is synced to the same Wi-Fi network as the DIRECTV Internet-enabled receiver, the remote and the smartphone can be synced as well so that when someone is changing the channels, the smartphone's screen changes too. Miso has been recently testing this feature by launching a synchronized to-the-minute experience for Showtime's Dexter. During each episode of Dexter's new season, users were able to share an opinion about what just happened, make predictions about what Dexter will do next, see the funniest quotes from Deb and get additional info about characters and other aspects of the show. If the audience member was connected through DIRECTV, the experience began automatically once the users started watching the episode.
The last platform that I wanted to discuss is IntoNow. Acquired by Yahoo, IntoNow is a consumer tech company that aims to enhance the way people engage with each other around shows. When users open the app, it has the ability to almost instantly recognize the particular TV content that is on air. The app also makes it easy for users to then share and discuss those shows with friends, both within the product and through other social streams such as Facebook and Twitter. IntoNow is available via iPhone and Android apps. What makes IntoNow stand out from among all the other social TV platforms is their completely seamless integration between the two screens. Users are not required to check-in or do anything except for opening up the app. One of the most interesting campaigns ran by IntoNow was their partnership with Pepsi Max. Users who checked-in to a Pepsi Max spot automatically got a free coupon for a 20-ounce bottle of Pepsi Max. The coupon was downloaded directly to their phones. This was the first campaign of its kind and allowed Pepsi Max to generate additional organic PR buzz for their brand.
Obviously, social television executions are an important element of content-based digital marketing campaigns. By allowing users to check-in to the content and rewarding them with stickers, points or other prizing, we are creating an interactive experience and engaging them on a deeper level than traditional digital PR allows. By working with these platforms we are also able to tap into their robust communities and extend the reach of a brand.

You can tune in to Metro96.4 FM this Friday between 06:45 and 09:00 for an unplugged session on Glen and Unathi's show to get a taste of the real experience.
A year ago, through the release of their self-titled debut album, The Soil set out to inspire a nation with messages of hope and a movement towards what represents joy, peace, love, and all that transcends our definitions of these.
Today, The Soil are topping national retail charts with the release of their deluxe edition (album repackaged with bonus tracks and bonus DVD). Their single 'Baninzi' just entered the Metro FM charts at number 30 – not bad for the three-piece acapella group who have been hard at work for the last twelve months promoting their album, and spent the last seven years prior to that on the road, before signing a recording deal with Native Rhythms Productions.
Dedication and hard work is a winning combination for The Soil, but nothing compares to their fans' responses to their live shows, so if you have yet to attend a performance or listen to their music, make sure you don't miss these dates:
15 June – Metro FM Unplugged Performance with Glen and Unathi
23 June – UGU Festival Main Event, Port Shepstone
20 July – THE SOIL CAMPUS TOUR – Wits Theatre [starts: 18:00 – tickets: R80 at the door]
10 August – THE SOIL CAMPUS TOUR – Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, PE [starts: 18:00 – tickets R70 at the door]
17 August – THE SOIL CAMPUS TOUR – Cape Town Intervarsity Special, CTICC, Marimba Restaurant [starts: 18:00 – tickets R50 at the door]
31 August – THE SOIL CAMPUS TOUR – UJ Arts & Culture Theatre, Kingsway [starts: 18:00 – tickets R70 at the door]
The Soil is as comfortable at big music festivals and concerts as they are on intimate theatre stages. In the past eight years, The Soil has graced stages of renowned events such as The Grahamstown Arts Festival (in 2010 and 2011), The Standard BankJoy Of Jazz, Jazz by the River, as well as the Nelson Mandela Theatre and the Catalyst Theatre in Cape Town to name a few. The Soil is excited about their campus tour and see this as an opportunity to connect with their fans.
"We really can't wait to perform at all campuses in Mzansi, share what we have been blessed with, and sing our hearts out to the very people that continue to support our music. This will give us a chance to interact with our supporters, autograph their new copies of our deluxe edition, share hugs, take as many pictures as we can and show them how much we appreciate their love and support," says Ntsika of The Soil.

In an article about the Butte County Jail's new policy of video visitation, reporter Howard Hardee interviewed Margaret diZerega, director of Vera's Family Justice Program, to learn about the program's study of the use of video visitation:
"But exactly how prisoners are affected by communicating with their loved ones through a computer screen has yet to be studied empirically, said Margaret diZerega, director of the Vera Institute of Justice's Family Justice Program. In conducting a Washington state-based study, 'A new role for technology: The impact of video visitation on corrections staff, inmates, and their families,' diZerega's team is doing just that, though the preliminary research (the study was launched in January) has yet to offer any definitive conclusions.
'We are seeing more jails moving toward non-contact visits, and I don't really think we know what the implications are yet,' diZerega said. 'All this stuff is so new, and studies haven't been done. The Washington study will be the first of its kind for prison settings. We don't really know what the impact is going to be.'
Unlike Butte County, Washington is offering video visitation in addition to face-to-face meetings rather than as a replacement, diZerega said. State officials hope the video visits will allow inmates more frequent contact with the outside world, particularly with friends or family members who live too far away to visit in person.
'Video visitation is an interesting option when it's about increasing frequency of contact or expanding the range of people who can stay in touch with somebody who is incarcerated, but not as a substitute for in-person visits,' she said.
In any case, diZerega said, a significant body of research on state-prison populations suggests receiving regular visits is tremendously important for an inmate's overall state of mind.
'People in prison who get more visits, they have fewer behavioral issues while they're incarcerated and also do better once they're back out into the community,' she said."

This is a light, creamy soup that has everything going for it—a tempting color, a velvety smooth texture, and a wonderful fresh flavor. It's a harbinger of warmer weather and the opening of farmers' markets all across the country. Peas and bacon are a popular combination in England and in America, as the sweetness of the former plays well off the smokiness of the latter. I prefer to use Ventrech bacon from Alsace, but another lightly smoked, dry-cured bacon is fine.–Gordon Ramsay
LC Straight Or Crinkly? Note
Straight or crinkly? (Not kinky. Crinkly. We were inquiring how you like your bacon. What were you thinking? Honestly, you people…) If you answered straight, then you may wish to take a cue from celebrity chef and loudmouth Gordon Ramsay, who bakes bacon slices between 2 heavy baking sheets to keep them straight and flat.
Chilled Spring Pea Soup Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- 4 ounces lightly smoked sliced bacon
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound fresh peas in the pod, shelled
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 4 cups vegetable stock, homemade chicken stock or canned chicken broth (use a light stock and not one made with the carcass of a roasted hen)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus a little extra for serving
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1. Reserve 4 slices bacon and chop the rest. Place the chopped bacon in a saucepan with the shallots and oil over medium heat until sizzling. Partially cover and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the peas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the wine and cook until it has evaporated.
- 2. Stir in the stock and water and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 15 minutes. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth, then pass through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing the solids with the back of a ladle to extract as much liquid as humanly possible. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.
- 3. Meanwhile, broil the reserved bacon slices until crisp. Drain well on a paper towel.
- 4. When the soup is well chilled, check the seasoning and whisk in the cream. Season again. Serve in bowls with a little extra cream trickled on top and either a floating bacon slice or a crumbled bacon slice.

Acute Myocardial Infraction; Myocardial Infarction
Cardiogenic shock is based upon an inadequate circulation of blood due to primary failure of the ventricles of the heart to function effectively. by Irwin and Rippe, Fifth Edition (2003), Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, ISBN 0-7817-3548-3
A heart attack occurs when the supply of blood and oxygen to an area of heart muscle is blocked, usually by a clot in a coronary artery. Often, this blockage leads to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat or rhythm) that cause a severe decrease in the pumping function of the heart and may bring about sudden death. If the blockage is not treated within a few hours, the affected heart muscle will die and be replaced by scar tissue.

DetailsThe Dyson Soft dusting brush attaches to your Dyson upright or canister vacuum for vacuum-assisted dusting around the home. It removes dust and allergens from flat surfaces, delicate areas and upholstery. Ordinary dusters aren't effective. They can circulate dust into the air without removing it. The fine nylon bristles on the Dyson Soft dusting brush are angled at 45 degrees to sweep dust into the airflow, where it is sucked away. The front bristles are wider spaced to prevent sticking to furniture. It has a felt strip down the middle of the brush to help protect some polished and delicate surfaces from scratching. The tapered shape channels airflow to distribute pressure evenly across the length of the Soft dusting brush.
