I was talking to one of the other facilitators at The Parent Practice, Juliet Richards, this week about going back to school.... As you do when the summer holidays haven't even begun! She said her teenagers will still need some help and 'encouragement' in September to get themselves organised, but it will be easier than it has been before. They're used to it, after all.
The school where I work is saying goodbye, this week, to another sixth form year group, as the class of 2016 head off into study leave, exam season an...
Back to school, back to school - three little words that have a profoundly pleasing effect on me, put a little extra skip into my step. I'm trying very hard to keep my enthusiasm for the Spring Term under wraps but it is tough, really tough.
Lots of people get anxious or upset about their children starting at school. They are worried about how their child will cope, how they will settle and whether they are old enough and ready for big school.
A parent's impression of their child's school day can be rather nebulous, and so I thought I would share a few techniques I've developed to get a bit of a firmer idea of what their school day is like.
Now, when I drop my daughter off each day, I will hand her over to someone else. A surrogate parent, almost. Someone other than me will pick her up when she falls, wipe away her tears and reassure her that everything is going to be okay.
In a day or two, almost 70,000 four-year-olds will be starting school and it's a big day in everyone's life. I'm 53 and I can still remember my first day at school! Your child is very likely to be anxious about their first day and it's important that you prepare your little ones well. I've given my top tips for preparation below.
My eldest starts school in a few days time and I must admit I'm surprised by my own reaction to it. I'm stilling rooting for being dry eyed at the gate but I can't count on it!
Parents can inevitably struggle with this painful process. Many avoid talking about Back to School for fear of upsetting the present happy moment. It often gets left to the last minute or gets lost in the rush to prepare packed lunches and bags.
Don't get me wrong - I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be at home with my kids and I love it, most of the time. But recently I've been missing the part of me that existed before I became the bum-wiping, tantrum-soothing ninja I am today.
The Self-Esteem Team, the group I work with who go into schools teaching students on mental health, self-esteem and exam stress, are writing to David Cameron every single day for the next year in a bid to revolutionise the education system by including mental wellbeing on the curriculum. Until that date is in the diary though, here are seven ways to build resilience...
The uniform has been carefully purchased, washed and ironed to an inch of its life and the painful task of labelling the whole flipping thing is finally done.The time has come at last time for the new school year and the kids are FINALLY back at school! I can feel your excitement from here.
I've made it! Three kids have learned to eat, walk, use a toilet, quote Princess Bride, and talk in thick Boston accents (R's are hawd to say, ok?) under my tutelage. But now they are someone else's responsibility from 9am until 3pm.
Despite reaching your limits entertaining the kids day in and day out for six straight weeks (and feeling great comfort in knowing that this period is finally coming to an end), you realise that you have no idea whatsoever when school actually starts back. You know that it's sometime in early September... but that's about it.
It feels a shame to cut the six weeks short by readying ourselves now for the school term, but having left it too late in the past, and having been a teacher myself for many years, I know that being a prepared parent makes things much easier.
We said yes to breaking the rules, to late nights, to doing whatever we felt like despite the long list of errands that piled up. They might have been small acts of rebellion - going out on cool mornings without socks, walks in the rain without umbrellas, frivolous presents bought on a whim with little thought of our family budget.

Haryana hold up England
Follow England's tour of India on ecb.co.uk - click here for all the latest news, exclusive interviews, video highlights and match reports
England were made to work hard for their wickets by Haryana on day two of their final warm-up match ahead of the four-Test series with India.
After Samit Patel had provided further evidence of his excellent form with 67, the tourists were dismissed for 521 this morning, with the tail offering little resistance as they sought quick runs.
Haryana then progressed to 172 for four in reply, with Rahul Dewan contributing 77 not out and Sunny Singh adding a boundary-laden 55.
England were indebted to their hosts for allowing Jonny Bairstow to deputise behind the stumps after first-choice wicketkeeper Matt Prior succumbed to a stomach upset.
If Prior's misfortune was one symptom of the sub-continent's occupational hazards, the flattest of batting surfaces at the Sardar Patel Stadium B Ground was another with which Alastair Cook's men had to contend.
Tim Bresnan emerged as England's leading bowler, with 2-47, while Patel and fellow left-arm spinner Monty Panesar picked up a wicket apiece.
By the letter of the law, the substitution of Prior was a contravention of first-class regulations, but at England's behest, and in the absence of a suitable replacement among those who started the match, the Board of Control for Cricket in India decided common sense should prevail.
It was Prior who helped Patel to add 69 in quick time after Ian Bell had added just five to his overnight 57 before edging to slip off Sachin Rana.
The keeper's 41 spanned just 36 deliveries, but he was then stumped off Yadav, who also accounted for Bresnan and Patel as the final five wickets went down for 14 runs amid a flurry of aggressive strokes.
Haryana therefore came out to bat after lunch and lost Nitin Saini in the eighth over when the opener was caught at cover, having been discomforted by extra bounce from Bresnan.
Dewan and Singh then batted serenely either side of tea, although the former did survive a let-off on 13 as a diving Prior failed to take a tough chance down the leg side off Stuart Meaker.
It was Patel who broke the second-wicket stand of 97; soon after Singh had brought up a 72-ball fifty with his 10th four, the number three edged to Jonathan Trott at slip.
Trott snapped up another low chance at second slip soon after when Bresnan found the edge of Abhimanyu Khod's bat in backward-defence, and Monty Panesar prised Rana out lbw.
Dewan, however, was not for moving, and remained undefeated after 182 balls spread over more than four hours.
England were given a boost away from the middle as Steven Finn tested his thigh strain off a full run for the first time since suffering injury 10 days ago.

Was just wondering about how shaders know which cbuffer maps to what I send in to the shader from the C++ code.
Say I have three equally sized cbuffers in a shader. Then I obviously make three calls to V/PSSetConstantBuffers. How does it know which cbuffer to put what in?

What are you all planning on for child care?Ā I'm due in March and will take off work until the 1st part of May.Ā My husband is applying to med school and depending on where he gets in, we'll be moving by next July.Ā I'll probably try to hire a nanny since we'll only need child care for 2 months before we head out of town.
After we relocate, my company is allowing me to keep my job and work from home. So I'll be staying home with the baby and working while my hubby is in school.Ā I might hire a mother's helper for a few days a week. I know it'll be hard to balance it all, but I'll just do the best I can.
I'm curious what you're all planning on?

#4591135 I'm 40yrs old and my name is gladiator.
Posted irubuwrongtime on 14 July 2016 - 05:03 PM
It was really tough this season because I had to get it with lfg. Not having a main team of players you can always queue together to improve as a team really sucks...
Anyways, it may be my last pvp season that I can actually stay competitive due to the lack of game time and rl stuff but I have this feeling of fulfillment that I won't regret any of my time spent on this game in the past years. I started this game in my 20s and when I was single like many of you now. Now I have a family and two beautiful girls demanding for more and more of my time and attention.
I met lots of good ppl and I had a lot of fun from WoW. I've been through all and it is finally finished. Thanks to you all fellow WoW players.
One thing I wanted to say to the WoW pvp community all this time is that "Why can't we all just get along? Enough trash talk and bad-mouthing each other but really... Without each one of us, this game is just dead and boring, more so on the pvp side. You will end up having no one to play or compete with. I think we can all be little more nice toward each other.
Shout outs to darkfists and franchris for pushing 2700 with me. My only regret is that we only got to play together for one day. I wish I met you guys sooner.
Anyways, gl to you all pushing for glad this season especially my fellow warrior friends~ Peace out~

#4540158 Scripted PvP
Posted Bigmoran on 17 November 2015 - 02:20 AM
I've mentioned countless times in threads and on social media that WoD PvP feels scripted. My attitude is not uncommon. Plenty of other players have also expressed feelings of redundancy in gameplay. Overall, enjoyment of PvP seems to be at an all time low. While quantification of player satisfaction is often difficult to guage, the drop in sub numbers--down to a point in which Blizzard will no longer report them--suggests that less and less people are enjoying World of Warcraft. The goal of this article is to show how the scripted feeling of PvP and the lack of rewarding gameplay has contributed to the growing sentiment that PvP is not nearly as fun as it used to be.
What IS the Script?
I should first explain what I mean by 'scripted.' In order to do this, consider how a script works. A script is a series of relationships between conditional statements. A conditional statement is a simple if, then relationship. Here is an example of how this 'scripted' PvP paradigm might play out in an arena match:
-If the enemy Mage uses Polymorph, then I will use Counterspell
-If the enemy Mage is Counterspelled on Polymorph, then I will use Polymorph.
While this may not seem damaging at first, consider the fact that nearly all of the important decisions we make during an arena game revolve around this algorithmic way of thinking. For every enemy action, there is an optimal player reaction that is determined by the 'script' of PvP. For every matchup, there is one optimal strategy. This makes winning feel significantly less rewarding and meaningful. The script makes arena wins feel less like an experience full of ingenuity and creativity and more like persistent, monotonous labor. If you know exactly how a game will play out, your experience will ultimately suffer.
As an aside, there is one thing that we often shake our fists at in PvP. Although we tend to hate RNG, it is the only thing that interferes with the normal operations of the script. Consider an arena game where two teams perfectly matched. They have exactly the same gear, play on the same latency, and have the exact same strategy. Assume that either team will try its absolute best to score a kill while preventing deaths of its own teammates. Under these conditions, what would determine the outcome of the match? It would have to be RNG! If one team gets a series of critical strikes or multistrikes at the right time, it will allow the match to deviate from its harmonious scripted balance. I should add that RNG (and specifically critical strikes) actually contribute to our enjoyment of the game. Oftentimes players will suggest removing crits from the game. Doing so would be damaging to our enjoyment of gameplay. While it may seem meaningless, scoring critical strikes is one of the most intrinsically satisfying elements of gameplay. We love seeing the big numbers. We are enamored by our own ability to deal damage that lights up as slightly bigger font on our screen. I am not kidding. Big numbers feel better, and in a game we are wanting to feel good.
Holinka's Pacing Argument
Recently, PvP developer Brian Holinka posted on Twitter that the average length of games during the World Championships was five and a half minutes. Loosely veiled behind this metric is the idea that PvP is improving because the duration of tournament games is getting shorter. It is true that spectators want shorter games. During Cataclysm and especially during Mists of Pandaria, many players argued that tournament matches were exhausting to watch. It was quite common in MoP to see two wizard cleaves battle it out for 10-15 minutes in a series that could potentially last five games. All in all this provided for a very boring viewer experience.
The problem with this argument is that the pacing does not matter if the match itself is painfully predictable. If you carefully watch the final series between SK-Gaming and Skill-Capped, you can see just how repetitive the game is during its 5.5 minute average duration. Every 30 seconds, Skill-Capped's RMD does the following things:
-Uses either Bash or Cheapshot on SK's Warrior
-Cyclones SK's Warrior
-Kidney Shots SK's Shaman (the kill target)
-Deep Freezes SK's Druid
-Polymorphs SK's Druid
While there is some degree of variance to how this setup is executed, the fact remains that every 30 seconds the RMD is doing exactly the same thing. So in a five minute game, you can expect the same exact thing to happen over and over and over until SK-Gaming makes a mistake or Skill-Capped falls to the attrition of dampening. And by all means, I'm not blaming either team for playing the way they do. For the most part there is no flexibility with either team's strat. I had the opportunity to talk to Healingstat (Skill-Capped's Druid) and I asked him why they never tried to kill SK's Warrior despite him sitting in Battle Stance for the majority of the game, sometimes without a PvP trinket. His reply was that they had played thousands of games against each other and that the 30-second setup strat on the Shaman is the only strat the consistently works. In other words, deviating from the script of going Shaman is utterly futile. There is no point in playing creatively because it does not win games. (I should add that I also heard that Boetar raged at Joefernandes for intervening a Blind because he "didn't know what to trinket." If there is anything that grossly reinforces the script, this is certainly it.)
Bring Back Reward
Of all the things that threaten WoW's ability to remain the most successful MMO of all time, its the fact that the game itself feels unrewarding. While I feel like the script has definitely contributed to this, there are numerous other examples in which gameplay itself does not feel like a rewarding experience. One instance of this is the conversion of many abilities into passive perks and set bonuses. Nature's Grasp was removed from the game and instead turned into a set bonus connected with use of Barkskin and Ironbark. Cold Blood was also pruned and converted into the four piece set bonus for Assassination Rogues. The real damage of pruning is that it left many of its removed abilities into mechanics attached to other spells. Two abilities became one. Two globals became one. Passives are not fun in virtue of being passive. You do not actually perform them--they just happen. Mages don't look at their Flameglow reducing damage and say, "Man, this is awesome!"
Another gross example of unrewarding gameplay is the conversion of many hardcasted damaging spells into instant cast burst abilities. Ice Nova is an ability that not only removes 50% of your root control, but also tunnel visions gameplay into managing two charges of a boring spell. Casted spells always feel better than instant casts. Hard casting involves risk and should result in high payoff. While I do think the class has some deep seeded balance and design problems, Destruction Warlocks are a perfect example of well-balanced risk/reward. Chaos Bolt is a long cast time that deals large damage. When it successfully lands, the Warlock feels like they have done something that required diligent effort. Compare this with the feeling of using two Ice Novas. There is little to no risk (outside of breaking CC). The ability is pressed and the damage is dealt. End of story.
The Hybrid Problem
While this has been an important point of discussion for ages, something needs to be done to address the strength and role of hybrid DPS in matchups. Hybrid healing was gutted for Balance Druids, Shadow Priests, and Elemental Shamans but still remains a problem for Feral Druids, Enhancement Shamans, and Retribution Paladins (perhaps WW Monks to an extend as well). These physical DPS classes are able to provide instant cast heals to themselves and their partners and are able to maintain high damage AND healing throughput over the course of a 3v3 match. There is no good reason that an Enhancement Shaman should be able to do 20k DPS in a game while also doing 10k HPS.
Some Nostalgia
Although he is one of the most controversial posters on this site, Bilian's PvP video continues to be one of my favorite PvP videos of all time. The RMP clips remind me of a time where gameplay was creative and each player made unique contributions to scoring kills.
#4522236 TloT/Blizzcon/Blizzard/WoW Esport
Posted Cervantes_Eu on 16 October 2015 - 07:17 PM
First of all for the ppl that didnt watch the eu regionals we finished 3rd place and "Secured" our spot in bizzcon,
team TLOT {Three Languages One Team} playing the most op setup in the game "Ebola" DK Cervantes,Feral Fritterus,HPala Cavy.
So yea our pala "Cavy" said that 2 weeks it too much time for him to miss school even tho we had school letter and exams can be forwarded hes parents refused to let him go.
therefore we had to talk to blizzard to ask him if we can make it 1 week for him to attend and be there when we have to play the games to make it less days of missing school they said No.
So we told them that we would like to have a replacement obviously (like we have seen in last blizzcon with lazer joining looni's team).
and 2 weeks agoo in the eu regionals with (Looni joining jamies/niksi) team after laguna/drainy geting disqualified.
Blizzard said they gonna discuss this after that their decision was knocking/fucking us out and inviting the 4th team (Solari Gaming.Yellow) because their rule does not allow us to have replacement, as simple as that our team is gone, even tho we didn't even have 4th player like other teams we are not allowed to have a replacement or 4th player in that situation.
how fair is it when they already went against/broke their own rule in the regionals (2 weeks agoo), the rule is invalid how come this rule is still applied against us? why cant we have a replacement and we just get fucked that way and lose everything oh wait they offered us virtual tickets!
i just love wow esport blizzard

#4516629 So legion suggestions - share your thoughts
Posted sarma on 08 October 2015 - 01:57 PM
Sharing few thoughts here , feel free to follow me
- Pve
- Removal of leveling - this thing is so 2005 - new system for progress to acess new spells ,faster progress for more skilled veteran players (must do fun lore quests)
- All zones are "max lvl" some are easy for newbie players some really hard for veteran players
- More tutorials added in game to make it easier for new players to undestand game mechanics , rotations and so on
- Daily quests tied to different zone each week - something is happening in the zone factions have different tasks and fight eachother (pvp) or work toghether agains legion influence (pve)
- Removal of LFR - LFG Takes its place
- 2 raid difficulies only - Normal (first bosses trivial , then puggable easy to last few bosses, last boss somewhat challenging) and Mythic (dungeons , raids) very hard i really liked ulduar model way more then anything else but thats maybe just me
- Removal of LFD - LFG takes its place
- 2 difficulties for dungeons , normal quite easy tied to reputations - some epics on exalted
Mythic quite hard and its loot almost on pair with normal raid loot
- Linear scaling of gear (10-15 ilvls per raid tier max)
- Very rare gear drops with cool extra proc effects or cosmetic effects - No more warforged or prismatic loot with higher stats
- return of justice/conquest progress - or something done with dungeons to be more challenging with new raid tiers
- Return of crafting and materials grinding - more reasons to be in the outside world
- More rating tied pvp cosmetic rewards and mounts
- Gladiator mount token (pick any mount from s1-current season)
- Ground mounts for rivals , chalengers and duelists , flying ones for gladiators
- All old elite sets available on vendors again (2200+ rating required)
- Removal of premade rated bgs (those are proved to be not working model)
- Random bgs have rating tied to it - solo duo or triple premade is possible
- Upgraded standard ui - insignia cd visible - Movable and scalable arena frames - Option to make only Short term buffs and magic buffs/debuffs visible (things like horn of winter, feral crit buff and so on are just a bloat and there is too much of those things nowdays)
- Make 2v2 and 5v5 fun again - No matter what , every class should have atleast 1 viable t1 2v2 comp - no hardcounters between t1 comps , healer vs dps (at the moment nothing is happening before 30% damp atleast) fix this
- Current rating system is really bad , league or csgo ranking system is way better - get rating decay instead of inflation
- Remove dampening - or make it a tie breaker
- figure out atleast 2-3 t1 comps for any class (hybrid dps 1 comp) , rock paper scissors are ok as softcounters - hardcounters in t1 comps shouldnt exist
- Increased mana cost of healing spells in pvp mode is must
- Increased mana cost of offensive dispel is must
- increased cd of defensive cds and make them more meaningful reduce number of def cds for all dps / healers
- mobility greatly nerfed for majority of classes , expecially healers - remove no cd sprints
- selfhealing on dps classes nerfed greatly or atleast if we have them then those need to be great dps loss and those should waste resources way more then they do Nature vigil and guidance are prime examples of what shouldnt be in the game
Now example how it should be (instant healing touch costs 5cp instead of nothing) for feral and increases healing by x% with every cp
- removal of all no brain extra trinkets or make them atleast pre emptive - peels replace extra def cds and they will be effective due to extra breaks removal
- option for no cd dispel , 8 sec dispel or 2 charges of dispell
- make classes have unique kits and spells again , every class feels almost the same now

I really have no clue why people go to AJ to complain about comps/balance. You want to complain and you want things to change? Go to the official forums.
You hate a comp? Counter it or shut the fuck up and simply deal with it until patches makes your class a part of the FotM. Don't sit and whine on AJ.
WoW has been rock-paper-scissors since 2005, except one of them is always a little better.

A couple days ago I linked a video here with suggestions for Legion, but then deleted it. I found I'm not very good at voice-overs. Here's attempt #2: hoffahoff.blogspot.com
I wrote a few posts about baseline changes and soon I'll head into talents and glyphs. I'm taking a break from WoW soon so I don't burn myself out any further on Warlords. It feels good to get everything off my chest before then. Check out the blog if you enjoy this sort of thing, and feel free to respond here or there and I'll get back to you.
#4470710 Legion: How to Fix WW by Balance & Venruki
Posted BalanceRexxar on 08 August 2015 - 07:08 PM
ToK = Touch of Karma /// BoP = Hand of Protection /// ToD = Touch of Death
SEF = Storm, Earth, and Fire /// RSK: Rising Sun Kick /// FoF = Fists of Fury
Let me start off this post by thanking Venruki, his dedication towards the monk class is very inspiring and this post wouldn't be here without him.
The main purpose of this post isn't to tell a dev what to do. It's here to tell you guys - the reader's - what to complain about because changes in WoW aren't made by single complaints, if they see an issue being brought up enough times they will be more likely to make that change.
source post: http://us.battle.net...pic/18300188992
Now I know many of you have no intentions of reading all of this so I took the time to roughly explain this post in my stream and highlight it.
Glyphs: 0-3:27
Touch of Karma: 3:27-7:05
Damage: 7:49-26:32
Mobility: 26:32-32:34
TLDW: Changes I want to see going into Legion - 32:50-37:52
As for the textual post, since many of you are lazy like I am and don't want to watch, listen, or read - here are just a FEW of the many potential solutions that could be made to benefit our class so that it is designed properly.
Now, these changes will all make MUCH more sense if you actually read the post or watch the VoD explaining what is wrong so don't jump to any conclusions.
There are so many solutions to these problems you could go any direction and still accomplish the same goal. I'm not saying any of these solutions are the right ones, I'm simply giving a few of many possible solutions while explaining the major issue with these concepts.
Mobility: Windwalkers lost our glove bonus, Spinning Fire Blossom, and an easy way to cast our Fists of Fury, all have contributed to Windwalker's poor OFFENSIVE mobility, we can run away fairly easily but if someone is running from you - good luck catching them. Not to mention disable; the worst slow any melee has.
Solutions: Make a Glyph of Disable that removes the root but takes it off the GCD. Another option would to simply make it off the GCD without a glyph. Making Glyph of Freedom Roll baseline, or making it so when we roll through somebody it slows them similar to Flying Serpent Kick, or combining Disable into Jab. The solutions are endless, any would do.
Glyphs: Our old set bonus in MoP along with our glove set bonus were turned into glyphs when we already had 3 irreplaceable glyphs, this had a severe impact on WW monks mobility and ability to easily use FoF.
Solutions: Make Glyph of Touch of Karma baseline, possibly Touch of Death, possibly Freedom Roll, and depending on the change to Fists of Fury, possibly make that a 5 yard range baseline as well. There are so many solutions to this problem you could go any direction and still accomplish the same goal.
Touch of Karma: It can be removed lickity split by any paladin in arena by using Hand of Protection, a minor cooldown that completely negates our most valuable one. I don't believe this is intended or balanced in any way and it has been ignored for two expansions now.
Solutions: Don't make it physical, thereby making it so you cannot BoP it, or if you do BoP it, transfer the remaining absorption into a shield for the monk. Another solution could be making some glyph baseline and adding a glyph that makes it so ToK no longer does damage but instead is purely an absorb effect. There are countless solutions that could work, one just needs to be implemented.
Chi Explosion: Weak damage > Forced to take it because of our 4 set > Forced to use 4 set because of lack of passive defensives for Windwalkers > Forced to use it because of range because we are sacrificing mobility because of Chi Torpedo.
Solutions: Now there are many ways to approach fixing this, you can A. Increase it's damage (assuming you follow the other solutions for the other problems) B. Buff the other talents to increase their stack generation (for example: whenever you use hurricane strikes you gain X stacks of Tigereye Brew).
Chi Torpedo: Does too much damage and makes us sacrifice defensive and offensive mobility and is poorly designed.
Solutions: Take the damage out of Chi Torpedo and put it into something else like Rising Sun Kick or Chi Explosion (or Blackout Kick)
Fists of Fury: Is too hard to land and can easily be shut down resulting in massive damage loss.
Solutions: Give us a 5 yard CAST range, not the cone range that the glyph gives, allow us to be able to use it further away. Also reduce it's damage and increase damage in other abilities that won't get completely shut down because of a charge or a typhoon.
Storm, Earth, and Fire: The problem is that it gives a false sense of damage and pressure. Monks who do respectable damage in PvE don't do respectable damage in PvP, just because monks may seem like they are in a good place in PvE doesn't come close to show how they are doing in PvP as we have seen from the start of the expansion (top of PvE, bottom of PvP)
Solutions: Reduce the damage the clones do and increase damage in spells like Chi Explosion, Blackout Kick, and Rising Sun Kick.
Multistrike: It is poo poo garbage for PvP and monks have been designed around it. (Battle Trance and Tiger Strikes)
Solutions: Relocate these damage increasing passives and buffs into something that profits PvP as much as it does PvE. Or make it that multistrike works the same in PvP as PvE specifically for the WW class.
Now, if you are curious about any of these changes or need an explanation, I would highly recommend watching the stream highlight for a vocal and visual explanation, if not here is the text brought to you by Venruki with assistance from myself.
There's been many posts about WW Monks and some of the problems they face. I'd like to represent the class from a very unbiased standpoint and bring to your attention why they're so bad, and hopefully some relatively EASY ways to fix them. This is going to be a long post but I'd really appreciate your input and feedback.
The problem: Two absolutely necessary glyphs needed to PvP - Glyph of Touch of Karma and Glyph of Touch of Death. Without these glyphs these abilities feel INCREDIBLY jenky to use in PvP combat. Without the Glyph of TOK we'd struggle to use our main defensive cooldown unless we were within melee range of our target. Without the Glyph of TOD it's near impossible to land a target to 10% and have 3 chi left over before they're quickly brought up in HP.
This has been a huge problem this expansion for WW Monks. WW monks had two key PvP set bonuses removed transitioning into this expansion. The first is "Freedom Roll", this was a crucial part of our mobility kit and we can no longer afford to take it. The second being Glyph of Flying Fists, increasing the range on Fists of Fury from melee range to 5 yards.
WW monks need glyph slots opened up and these glyphs need to be added into the abilities baseline. I feel a change like this would have almost no negative impact on PvE and could possibly save the class in PvP.
Touch of Karma
The problem: Blessing of Protection removes my defensive ability, why? This was sort of a cool counter-play back in the day when holy paladins weren't running rampant. Unfortunately, now they are... and it's a little silly that a healer's minor defensive ability completely renders my main defensive 100% useless. Used to be a little scarier for a paladin to just BoP all of my Karmas because of 45 second forbearance, now it seems like it's worth it 9 times out of 10 and because of that my defensives on an already fragile class is at an all time low.
I'd like for mages and paladins to keep the ability to bubble/ice block ToK because the cost of using those abilities if high enough to justify removing my main defensive cooldown. However, BoP needs to not remove it anymore.
A Very common theme in arena is Holy Paladin/Mage, they can either bubble or iceblock it as well as being able to BoP it, so if I want the slightest chance of keeping my karma I can only use my defensive on one target with the minuscule chance my Karma won't be removed which it almost always does.
Where to begin on this large list of problems... How about we start with our basic abilities?
In PvP we are almost exclusively using Chi Explosion because it provides us with ranged damage and the ability to increase stack generation through its 3+ bonus.
Why is it exclusive? What's wrong with Hurricane Strike or Serenity? Well you see, monks have been notoriously known for being "squishy", but with a change to our 4 set which allows a 6% damage reduction per stack consumed for 20 seconds helped with that issue, but it created another one in the process.
Without Chi Explosion, we are squishy, we are squishy because without Chi Explosion, our stack regeneration is drastically reduced, and without stacks, we do less healing, and take more damage. Simple as that.
So what's the issue? What's wrong with Chi Explosion? Well it does doodoo damage.
Our 4 stack Chi Explosion, get this - we spend 90 energy, almost a FULL energy bar to do a BIG Chi Explosion! It still does less than 1 Chi Torpedo.
This brings us to Chi Torpedo, our MOBILITY spell that we are FORCED to use as a damage spell.
Our hardest hitting ability is our roll. This seems unintended or if it was it is a major design flaw and significantly cripples Windwalkers in PvP for these reasons:
1. Sacrificing "rolls" aka Chi Torpedoes - requires us to jump and roll, so that we don't go flying off of our target, but what if our target isn't right next to us? Targets do not stand still in PvP, therefore by making us use Chi Torpedo for damage, we don't get to use it for it's intended purpose - mobility.
2. Mobility is key to PvP both defensively and offensively, being able to reach our target to do damage is crucial for obvious reasons, and defensively for being able to roll to safer positions or to kite.
Now that I've explained a little bit about our damage and how it relates to mobility, let's talk about Fists of Fury.
In MoP, FoF did not require a target to use, in combination with our 2 set (increased range by 5 yards) this gave us the ability to use fists of fury at a longer range.
For example, this is what Fists of Fury looked like in Mists of Pandaria. Let each underscore represent 1 yard.
Me _ _ Target _ _ _
(this allowed my target to be in any of the 5 yards available to my Fists)
In Warlords this is what it looks like:
Me Target _ _ _ _ _
(assuming you have the glyph on which you don't 90% of the time so in reality it looks like this)
Me Target _
Now (even with the glyph) you MUST be in melee range, even if you have the glyph, it is still difficult to land - a lot of the time I find myself pressing W for a second, pressing fists of fury to test if I'm in range only to find out that I'm not even though I can use all my other melee abilities. And every time I test if I can finally get it off, I lose a little bit of distance standing still.
Now that I've address the underlying problem with Fists of Fury, I'll address it's concept. It's a CHANNELED spell. Transitioning from MoP to WoD, the percentage of damage we do in small windows was drastically transferred into our FoF, instead of FoF being a minor damage boost, it is crucial to get as much damage out of it as you can in PvP.
So why is this a problem? It's hard to land and it's channeled.
Melee shouldn't have to cast or channel to do their burst - it's not the melee design.
Even with the amount of CC that was removed in WoD, there is still plenty to disrupt this damage, some favorites that seem to push my buttons are typhoon, explosive trap, the Warrior's charge talent (Warbringer), all of these cancel our fists of fury effectively shutting us down.
And we're not done yet, we still need to talk about our favorite crutch - Storm, Earth, and Fire.
This ability was made for PvE and has no place in PvP whatsoever. If you try to use this ability in PvP (which you are kind of forced to do sometimes) you will find that it is extremely clunky and obviously not meant to be used in a PvP environment. But why not? Here's why:
Mobility: They don't have any, they just walk, any class you put it on can easily kite it, don't even bother using it unless your specced chi explosion because chances are it will be out of range when you use your RSK or Blackout Kick and it won't even copy it.
Damage: In PvP unless you are specifically trying to kill multiple people, it is bad to split targets. This only really makes it good for a comp like Windwalker Affliction warlock, but if you look at comps like WLS, MLS, RLS, all these comps involve the affliction lock doing the spread pressure with the assistance of the other DPS's single target damage to focus pressure on to one target. With WWLS, you end up with minor pressure on multiple targets leaving you vulnerable from a confident and offensive team laughing at your futile attempts to kill them.
So the solution? Hopefully in the next expansion this ability will be removed, but for now I think a simple change of reducing the damage of the clone to make the total damage increase of using SEF so that single target and AoE aren't so widely separated in how much damage they are doing because if you compare windwalker single target to windwalker AoE, the difference is ridiculous.
And finally, the simplest problem of all. Multistrike.
What a lot of people forget is that multistrike is HALVED in PvP. When you make a class revolve around something that is halved you can't expect similar success in both situations which are PvE and PvP. Battle Trance and Tiger Strike's are bad for PvP because multistrike is bad for PvP. The only solution to fix this would be to reduce or eliminate how much multistrike we get from Battle Trance and Tiger Strikes and relocate this damage into something else.
WW monks disable is the worst snare of any melee.
WW disable: On global cooldown (severely affects your damage rotation), 15 energy cost.
Rogue Crip Poison: Automatically applies on auto attacks. (doesn't affect your damage rotation)
Warrior Hamstring: Off global cooldown (doesn't affect your damage rotation), 10 rage
Feral Infected Wounds: Applies off your attacks (doesn't affect your damage rotation)
Ret Seal of Justice: Automatically applies on auto attacks. (doesn't affect your damage rotation)
Enhance Frost Shock and Frostbrand: 25 yard range on shock and frost brand auto applies on auto attacks. (slightly affects your damage rotation)
DK Chillblains and Chains of Ice: Chains of Ice 30 yard range, costs a global and a rune. Chillblains is easy to keep up as it's a main part of your damage rotation to keep frost fever up. (slightly affects your damage rotation)
WW's are the only class that have to use an extra global to apply a snare to a target. I'm sure that doesn't seem like a big deal but in an ever evolving world of freedoms, power shifting, root breaks, snare breaks and much much more. Having to use the extra global to apply your snare makes us much easier to kite than other classes.
WW's also took a huge hit losing spinning fire blossom, one of our only ways to catch a target running in a straight line away from us. Essentially our ranged snared was removed and it made it that much easier to get away from us. Major issue with this is our uptime on many targets is limited to only stuns.
These issues in combination with freedom roll being taken away from creates a huge issue where WW's uptime is far lower than many other melee.
I just want to conclude this post by saying I love the WW class. The design of the class is amazing they just took an ENORMOUS hit in mobility, snares and damage which ultimately lead to one of, if not the worst class of the expansion. Please send help, SoS.
I had Balance (Steven) help me come up with and write this post.
And that, is the work of Venruki and I. Please feel free to comment on anything you agree or disagree with but keep in mind - these are not all the solutions we want, these are just possibly solutions because almost all of them are related to each other so whatever solution there is for one thing will change the solution for another.

Job Details
Agape Respite Care was established under the auspices of the First Mennonite Church, in Berne, Indiana. Roberta (Bertie) Lehman, a member of the congregation, brought the need for special care for persons with disabilities to the attention of the Christian community. Respite services initially provided care for children with disabilities during the day and evening at the Agape House at 415 W. Franklin St., Berne, IN. The second year of operation Agape began offering in-home respite and overnight care. Agape Respite Care soon realized that disability occurs also due to accident, Illness, or aging and expanded their services to life span respite serving seniors as well as children. On Sunday, July 21, 2002, the First Lady of Indiana, Mrs. Judith O'Bannon gave the dedication address at the opening of our new respite home at 298 N. Forest Park Drive, Berne, IN. Showing God's love by providing lifespan care for people with disabilities is the focus of Agape's service. Agape Is also committed to supporting the family or primary caregiver by offering information and referral services. Through the demonstration of love and compassion for these needs, we seek to honor God in all the services of Agape Respite Care, Inc.

The Fourth of July weekend is likely to produce -- by far -- the biggest box-office grosses of the year. Summit Entertainment launches the third installment of its Twilight franchise at midnight tonight (Wednesday/Thursday), amid expectations that it will sell $150-million worth of tickets by Monday. Also opening is Love Ranch, starring Helen Mirren and directed by her husband, Taylor Hackford. It's opening in 11 theaters and not expected to draw big crowds. On Thursday, Paramount premieres M. Night Shyamalan's 3D adventure The Last Airbender , which will be grabbing more than 2,000 3D screens. Analysts are predicting that it will earn $50-60 million. Finally, Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 3 is expected to remain a potent force among family fare and gross around $35-40 million in its third weekend.

Check_mk 1.0.38 for Web Admin, Backup and Simulation
Mathias Kettner has released his check_mk Nagios plugin in version 1.0.38. New features include a Web-based admin tool, a backup function and a simulation mode.
The check_mk plugin for large Nagios installations adds a small Web app component in the new release. It brings the Multiadmin tool to the Web that enables and disables checks and notifications, acknowledges service problems and schedules downtimes.
Also new is the backup and restore mechanism. The
check_mk --backup
command secures local configuration and runtime data, independent of path or file ownership, to the
directory in a tarball. The
option deletes files not contained in the backup.
The third new feature is a simulation mode whereby target hosts are never contacted during the test run, allowing for drun runs of check_mk installations. It is enabled by setting
in the main.mk file.
Kettner also fixed some bugs and modified a few more details for check_mk. Information along with GPL source code, Debian and RPM packages are on his check_mk project page.

Fluid-Rock Geochemistry and Biomineralogy
My interests involve reactive fluid flow and mineralization in sedimentary and volcanic systems in both ancient and modern environments, as well as microbially mediated reactions at the earth's surface. I primarily focus on the geochemistry of mass extinctions and the role of tectonics in shale gas development (particularly during the late Devonian), and the geomicrobiology of cave deposits. I also work on the geochemistry of the Engare Sero Footprint Site in Tanzania.
Research Groups
Geomicrobiology: Since 2009, I have worked extensively with Dr. Suzanna Bräuer in the Department of Biology, and Dr. Cara Santelli at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum on manganese oxide biominerals produced by both bacteria and fungi. We do extensive fieldwork in southern Appalachian caves as well as on a variety of regional rocks at the surface that have experienced reactive fluid flow and/or biomineralization. For more information about our geomicrobiology research group, visit http://geomicrobiology.appstate.edu.
Paleoclimate: My more recent project involves work with Appalachian Geology Professor Johnny Waters and the UNESCO-funded International Geoscience Programme Project 596, which studies climate change and biodiversity in the mid Paleozoic. With collaborators from around the world, we work primarily in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (western China and western Mongolia), in southeast Asia, and in Europe to determine the extent and scope of Devonian ocean anoxia events, the role of tectonics in shale gas development, and the rebound from the mass extinctions associated with these events. For more information about the DAGGER (Devonian Anoxia, Geochemistry, Geochronology, and Extinction Research) Group, visit http://devonian.appstate.edu.
Engare Sero Footprint Site: I am also affiliated with the research team working at the Engare Sero footprint site on the shores of Lake Natron, Tanzania. This work is led by Dr. Cynthia Liutkus-Pierce, in collaboration with anthropologists from the Smithsonian and American Museum of Natural History. My role in the project is to help determine the volcanic environment and preservation mineralogy of the hominid footprints.

Complete Results from UB's Tech Spending Survey
CIOs reveal how they are spending their budgets.
University Business, Sep 2006
University Business surveyed 160 chief information officers and IT directors from colleges and universities nationwide to find out how and where their IT dollars were being spent. (For UB's companion feature story see "Smart IT Spending Strategies," December 2005.)
With decreasing funding and increasing demand from students and faculty for the latest technology, smart spending of technology budgets is crucial at colleges and universities today. But IT decision makers are working hard to keep costs down and savings up while helping to further the missions of their schools.

FORT STEWART, Ga. (AP) -- About 100 Fort Stewart soldiers will deploy overseas this fall in small teams tasked with advising and training local security forces in Afghanistan.
Fort Stewart officials released the approximate number of deploying troops Thursday, a day after the Pentagon said soldiers from the Georgia post and four other Army brigades will deploy later this year as U.S. forces begin shifting to advisory roles in Afghanistan.
An Army spokesman previously said each brigade would deploy less than half its total manpower of up to 4,000 soldiers. The number from Fort Stewart is far smaller.
The deploying soldiers will be officers and senior noncommissioned officers from Fort Stewart's 2nd Brigade Combat Team. They will divide into small teams assisting Afghan forces -- much as U.S. troops did during the drawdown in Iraq.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Week's Top Stories
Sept. 15, 2006 -- A pill that could prevent diabetes grabbed headlines -- as did a report on U.S. life expectancy and the results of a new study affirming the health benefits of green tea.
Drug Could Prevent Diabetes
A widely prescribed drug used to treat type 2 diabetes also may prevent the disease, a new study shows. People at high risk for diabetes who took the drug Avandia reduced their risk of developing the disease by 60%. The findings could usher in a new era of diabetes management similar to that already seen with heart disease, where drug therapies prescribed to prevent the disease become as important as those used to treat it.
FDA Issues Warning on Bagged Spinach
If you've got a bag of spinach in the fridge, you may want to toss it in the trash. The FDA advised consumers not to eat bagged, fresh spinach while it probed a multistate outbreak of E. coli that reportedly killed one person and sickened 50 others. The FDA is investigating the outbreak, which has been seen in at least 20 states.
Vitamin D May Cut Pancreatic Cancer
Getting the recommended intake of vitamin D from diet, supplements, or even the sun may cut your risk of pancreatic cancer. The cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. There is, however, no effective screening process for it, so identifying controllable risk factors could aid in prevention efforts.
Report Blasts Child Obesity Inaction
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) criticized the government, the food industry, and families for not doing enough to reverse rising childhood obesity rates. An IOM report stated that the nation is "beginning to grasp the severity" of the problem, but efforts to address it are too small in scale and too fragmented to have much of an effect. If the trend doesn't slow, experts warn that one-fifth of U.S. kids are projected to be at risk for obesity by 2010.
Adult Obesity Booming Across U.S.
Children aren't the only ones getting fatter. Six in 10 U.S. adults are now overweight or obese, including nearly a quarter who are obese, according to a new report from the CDC. Mississippi has America's highest percentage of obese adults and Colorado has the lowest percentage.

Q: I read your column last week and thought I would see what you thought about my current situation. Needless to say, I am very disappointed with my denture and would like any ideas you can help me with.
About five years ago I had a new denture made for my upper teeth. I have my own lower teeth. After about two years, I saw a hole on the right side behind the last tooth. This eventually lead to a crack, for which I returned to the doctor who made it and asked him why it happened and can it be fixed.
He did not offer me a reason, but he did have the hole and crack repaired. The repair did not look like the original, but I did not complain since he did not charge me. About another year later, the same thing happened, only this time it just cracked along the same line it cracked the first time.
I brought it back and they fixed it. They did not charge me, but they were not as nice. I felt uncomfortable with the way they treated me, but kept quiet since they did not charge me.
Just recently, it happened again.
I went back and they said they could fix it again, but there would be a fee this time. I tried to find out why it broke again, but no answers were offered. I paid the bill, but did not feel it was fair because I never thought I did anything to make this keep happening.
It is now breaking again and I just don't want to go back to the same place. I feel like there is some reason this keeps happening and it is not being addressed. If it were being addressed, it wouldn't keep breaking.
My question for you is this. Am I being ridiculous to think this way? Could I be doing something I shouldn't be? Can you give me any idea to what is going on?
I don't mind paying for another repair; I just don't want to keep doing it over and over if something can be done differently.
Thanks for any help you can offer and thanks for your column. I really enjoy it each week.
A: Believe it or not I think I know exactly what is going on. I have seen this may times and there is a solution.
I bet you have lost one of your lower back teeth on that side. Since that tooth was lost, the teeth behind it have drifted forward, causing the back of the last tooth to rise above the level of the other teeth. This causes less space between the upper denture and the lower teeth.
That back tooth on the bottom is causing the hole and eventual crack in the denture. The denture is probably thinner in that area than anywhere else. This causes the material to be weak and prone to continual fracture.
Unfortunately, the fix for something like this is to make a new denture on top that has a metal palate and reinforcement metal in the area of the teeth.
Depending on the exact situation, you may need to have metal in the area of the hole.
There are times the lower tooth can be smoothed out; however, doing this can increase the need for a root canal in that tooth or
increases the possibility of decay in it if the enamel is smoothed away to the point the dentin is showing.
Dentin is much less resistant to decay than enamel is.
It really sounds like you are on the right track. Something needs to be done differently in order to get a different result.
I am willing to bet I am pretty close to the bull's-eye on this. You might want to mention this to your dentist as a possibility. If he agrees, he may come up with a plan that can help things.
If you are not comfortable bringing this to his attention, I suggest a second opinion. I hope I have helped clear things up a bit for you.

University of Colorado Boulder
Contact Akira Miyake
Visit Website
A two-year postdoctoral research fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Akira Miyake at the University of Colorado Boulder (Department of Psychology and Neuroscience). The lab investigates individual differences in executive control and their roles in various cognitive activities and social behaviors (such as self-control). This position will focus on a collaborative research project, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) REAL program, that examines how individual differences in working memory, executive control, motivation, and situational interest influence college students' learning and retention of statistical concepts from on-line (video) and live statistics lectures in both laboratory and classroom settings. In particular, the project examines the potential mediating role of mind-wandering during learning. This project is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Michael J. Kane at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, and the postdoctoral fellow will work closely with both Dr. Miyake and Dr. Kane via regular project meetings.
The postdoctoral fellow is expected to actively participate in the designing and implementation of laboratory and classroom studies, the analysis of the collected data, the writing of the research reports resulting from the research project, and the presentations of the research at relevant conferences. In addition, the postdoctoral fellow will have opportunities to conduct additional research or write additional papers in collaboration with both Dr. Miyake and Dr. Kane and engage in intellectual activities outside Dr. Miyake's laboratory (e.g., seminars and talks at CU Boulder).
The start date can be flexible. It can start as early as the beginning of the summer (mid-May 2014) or as late as the beginning of the Fall 2014 semester (late August), but the latest possible start date will be September 1, 2014. We will consider applicants who are close to completing their Ph.D. theses, but the selected candidate must have completed all the Ph.D. requirements before being able to start this postdoctoral position (i.e., a proof of the Ph.D. degree is required prior to the start of the position). We expect a minimum one-year commitment, with the possibility of renewal for up to a total of 2 years (until the end of August 2016). Salary is competitive and includes full benefits.
Minimum Qualifications:
• Ph.D., with an educational and research background in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, social psychology, or education (educational psychology)
• Strong interest in educational applications of basic cognitive/social psychological theories
• Strong statistical skills and knowledge (e.g., multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling) and strong writing skills
Additional Desired Qualifications:
• Some experience with teaching a statistics course at an undergraduate level
• Experience in computer programming and/or website design and management
To apply for this position, please provide the following materials: (a) a cover letter, (b) CV, (c) up to 3 representative publications (preferably peer-reviewed journal articles, already published or currently in press), and (d) contact information for 3 reference letter writers. The cover letter should describe how you are well suited for the position based on your experiences, skills, knowledge, and goals. The application must be completed via the University of Colorado's online job site, Job@CU (https://www.jobsatcu.com). The Job Posting Number for this position is #RF00931. Any inquiries regarding this position should be addressed to Dr. Miyake (firstname.lastname@example.com), but no email applications will be accepted (only the applications submitted through Jobs@CU will be considered). Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, though all applications received by February 15, 2014, will receive full consideration.
