"It's not a big deal for a druid to give up healing to dps like a mage, because the mage can't heal."
But we DON'T get to heal like a mage. Hybrid tax, remember? We give up healing to dps worse than a mage, while shamans and paladins give up nothing to dps at that sub-mage level, still having access to their full range of abilities.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't dps worse than mages. That's a whole different argument, and one I'm not quite sure which side I'm on. However, it makes no sense why we (shadow priests and moonkin) cannot heal in-form, or get some kind of compensation from being walled off from half of our spells when other hybrids are not.
uncaringbear said...
I agree - trees are walled off from casting offensive spells while healing. Boom chickens are walled off from casting heals while going on offense. Isn't it a double standard to let resto druids have access to dps abilities while in primary healing spec, while boom chickens remain locked out from healing? The same thing has always irritated me about my shadow priest. No heals for you unless you drop out of shadow form.
I suppose the argument is that resto druids will no longer have a healing form, other than an optional one on cooldown. As much as I wasn't a huge fan of being a giant broccoli, there comes a point where reducing flavour in the game is a bad thing.
GrumblyStuff said...
You're looking in the wrong direction.
Disc and Holy priests can still smite. Pallies can judge and consecrate. Shamans can cast lightning bolts. Resto druids in tree form cannot. That's the disparity he's trying to do away with. Maybe not with for the purpose of damage spells but hibernate, soothe animal, all those sorts of things.

Not nerf, fix. :-)
jacksworth said...
Spellotape said...
It's not that dispelling is hard, it's that dispelling every single person in the group is hard if they refuse to be properly spread out.
While I've healed many excellent groups where the melee (and ranged) have been awesome and not spread the debuff or got it from the tank, I've healed just as many where they either haven't known about it or didn't care to observe the potential danger of a growing amount of people with the debuff.
@ accurry
Everybody thought it was hard, because it WAS. After the last patch for hotfixes, the fight became either overtuned or seriously bugged. The debuff was jumping like crazy, to everyone, ALL the time, nicely hitting for 35K if you were unlucky. There were reports of the debuff also jumping to and from pets, minipets and the little bears from the arch buff.
In a fight with more than one melee dps, this became healer hell. You'd have the debuff jumping to at least 3 players, and once you were done disspelling those with barely time to throw out a heal, they were already applied again or jumped to someone else. And don't mention what happened if someone with a debuff was picked up by a bird, flying over the heads of those who had been debuff-free before.
I did the fight on my resto shaman a couple of times in the bugged/overtuned mode, and the healing going on there was more intense than for example the first phase of Halfus. Now, I am a pretty good healer and running in 359 iLvl, with groups of competent people that know when to move, when to shoot birds, when to stack etc. Still, yesterday's attempt left me with only the tanks standing and myself at 10% health. I pulled out about 2.3 million in heals, disspells around 30.
If you are a healer that actually needs gear from these bosses, good luck on that without running OOM from disspells alone halfway through the fight.
If you want to read more experiences from 346 to heroic raid geared healers on this fight, here's a nice thread: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2456906582
So yes.. definitely not a nerf, but a much-needed fix. These are dungeon bosses for people that need gear, not raid fights.
Funny, this dude was my FIRST fight as a healer in 4.1 with ilvl 354 -- I figured I was screwed. I even have the glyphed dispel (3% heal per dispel) and we still wiped 3 or 4 times and then finally got him down with 3 people left. Subsequent runs weren't much better.
So ya...I'm definitely rejoicing.
@acurry-- It was easy, as long as you had, at most, one melee. More than that, and there wasn't room to spread out. The healer can't very well be cleansing constantly on that fight.
All this nerf does is makes this fight possible with 2 or 3 melee. If you had a lot of ranged, the fight is effectively unchanged.
Given that they swapped the numbers (5 seconds became 12, and 12 yards became 5) I think someone might have made a wee mistake when configuring the fight on Blizzard's end before the patch released. Could be just correcting a transpositional error, and this is actually how it was supposed to be the whole time.
Excellent point. I hadn't noticed that.
I think kittens put it very well, but ultimately it boils down to this: Up until the fix/nerf/whatever, a minimum of 1.5 out of every 5 seconds (1 GCD) was being used to dispel the debuff. The other 3.5 seconds (~2 heals depending on your class) had to be used to heal up the 35k static disruption (heaven forbid it hits more than 1 person), the boss's melee damage, whatever 20k attacks the little bird adds did, and the 20-25k hits that kidnappers put on their targets. That's massive healing on multiple targets, regardless of if you have a hot on the tank or not. And for players of appropriate gear and skill level it was way over the top.
I'll be looking forward to actually queueing for the instance again.

Chapter 6
Harry wasn't getting better. If anything he had gotten worse and Severus was worried; he was starting to think that the Dark Lord hadn't been responsible for Harry's deterioration, but something else. Severus' lowered a hand to brush gently across Harry's forehead, wincing at the fever he felt burning there. He had already checked Harry for the usual run of poisons and spells that could cause such a reaction, but had come up with nothing. Harry was actually ill, seriously so, and if it wouldn't mean their lives Severus would have bundled him away to St. Mungos already for treatment. As it was there wasn't much he could do but brew Harry fever-reducing potions that were proving useless and apply cool cloths all over his soulmate's flushed body. It was torture to watch Harry suffer so, but what was even worse was to hear Harry call out for Tom in the throws of his nightmarish fever. Severus probably would have killed himself had Harry not called out his name as well; as it was, he had no idea how to react to Harry calling for the both of them. Harry was his soulmate. His!
~~ ~~ ~*~
It had been three days since Severus had absconded away with Harry. Tom had to admit that his once-trusted potions master was good, very good, but yet he wasn't good enough. Tom could feel the soulbond stretching between himself and Harry and so Severus' precautions were only delaying the inevitable confrontation. Tom was getting worried though, even as the bond was telling him where his love was, he could sense that it getting weaker and was less substantial than it had been the day before. The soulbond should not be deteriorating this quickly; it should not feel as if Harry was dying on him. Something was dreadfully wrong and now only a handful of wards stood between himself, Harry, and one soon to be dead Severus Snape.
"Break down the wards," Tom hissed, a red tint bleeding into his eyes as his anger rose.
Oh yes, if he had things his way, Severus Snape would not live out the night.
~~ ~~ ~*~
Severus felt the wards he had hastily constructed around the house shiver and begin to buckle, he knew that it wouldn't be long before Voldemort made his way in. Looking at the tossing form on the bed, Severus gripped his wand tighter and had to admit that there wasn't much he could do. If Harry hadn't been in such a bad way they could have tried to make a run for it, but there was no way he'd be able to get them outside the wards before Voldemort was upon them. He could possibly use the hardened tear that Harry had shed, except for the first day he had used the tear to fuel the now breaking wards and had discovered that as Harry's strength ebbed so did the power residing in the tear. It could possibly kill Harry if he used the power still remaining in the tear. There was nothing else for it, they would have to stay and face Voldemort when he broke through, but Severus vowed not to go out without some sort of fight. The wards broke.
~~ ~~ ~*~
The breaking of the wards pulled Harry back into a semi-lucid consciousness and he felt the bond between himself and Tom tauten and strengthen. Just from the close proximity of both his bondmates, Harry could feel some of his health returning. That didn't help quell his anxiety though, he knew what Tom would do once he got a hold of Severus. Deciding that his best chance of having both his soulmates coming out of this alive would be to come between them at the last second, Harry lay quietly and conserved his strength so that he could act when Tom entered the room. He didn't have long to wait.
"Crucio!" Harry would know Tom's voice anywhere and Severus' pained gasp let him know the curse had hit the mark.
Harry prepared himself to move, but Tom let up on the curse after only a moment.
"Hold him!" Tom's voice was a low hiss as he commanded the Death Eaters he had brought with him.
A slight scuffle told Harry that Tom's orders were being obeyed without hesitation and Tom began to speak again, "you're going do die Severus, no one takes Harry away from me, but your death will be pleasantly slow."
Harry knew that he had to act then, knew that if he didn't act now then he would have no chance of saving Severus and still have the potions master be whole in body, mind, and spirit. With the strength of will that had first seen him put into Gryffindor, Harry forced his laden muscles to work as he clumsily threw himself off the bed and between Severus and Tom.
"Sectumsempra!" Tom had shouted the spell just as Harry leapt, and the curse flew true with no chance of recall.
Pain burst through Harry and for a brief instant he could feel the warmth of blood running down his chest before his skin seemed to go numb.
"Harry!" Two anguish filled voices rang out simultaneous and two men fell to their knees at Harry's side, the Death Eaters too stunned to keep hold on their prisoner.
"Why Harry?" Tom's voice almost cracked, "Why throw yourself in front of this worthless bastard?"
Harry wasn't sure when he had closed his eyes, but now he forced them open, "because I lied. Severus is also my soulmate. If he dies, I die, and so do you. I was angry with him when I came to you, but I know now that I wouldn't give up either of you for the world. I live for both of you, I love both of you."
Harry allowed his eyes to close again so that he could savor the thought of being in both Tom and Severus' arms at the same time, he doubted it would be something he would feel again anytime soon, but he would work on making it happen. They had to accept each other or they were all doomed.
"Damn you to hell!" Tom screamed at Severus suddenly, the noise jarring Harry from his lethargic enjoyment, "Harry is mine, was supposed to be all mine, and now I have to share him with you or lose him. Well I won't lose him, but don't think I'm going to gladly welcome you into our lives either."
"You think I'm happy with this either!" Severus screamed right back, secure in the knowledge that Tom wouldn't hurt him for the risk of hurting Harry, "I finally found my soulmates, someone to love and be loved back by and now you're trying to keep him from me. He was sick, dying, I couldn't leave him with you. He was dying there with you."
"And that's my fault?" Harry could just hear the soft footsteps of the Death Eaters as the snuck away, "If anything it's your fault for driving him away. You were the reason he was getting sick. I would never do anything to harm Harry, never!"
Harry didn't bother to open his eyes this time as he interrupted what appeared to be heading into a long fight, "I think I'm going to pass out now. If I die, make sure Lucius knows to bury me next to my parents because neither of you will be alive to do it and I'll be damned if my rotting body rests near either of yours for the rest of eternity."
Predictably, Harry's interruption didn't stop the squabbling for long, but instead set off a new round of argument as he was tenderly lifted up into the air by Tom, leaving Severus to hover worriedly over him. Sighing, Harry vowed that if he lived to make it to next Christmas that he would get a hold of some more mistletoe and lock those two together somewhere until they kissed. That just left him with the trouble of keeping both Severus and Tom from trying to kill each other until then. It was going to be a long year.

The project is an adaptation of a graphic novel by John Wagner and Arthur Ranson and follows Harry Exton, a hit-man who takes part in a game organized by a group of millionaires. The game pits trained killers against each other in a fight to the death, while the rich bet on them. The main character decides to opt of of the competition and he finds that the only way out is to kill them all.
Roger Kass, Josh Braun and Michael De Luca are producing the film.
Arthur Ranson revealed the plans to adapt the graphic novel on his official site a week ago. Here is what he said about the project.

Former Atlanta mayor/congressman/U.N. ambassador Andrew Young hung around the apron of the state Capitol on Tuesday after endorsing former Gov. Roy Barnes.
The man who once served as top lieutenant to Dr. Martin Luther King was asked about the nasty legal fight for control of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
A court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
Truth be told, Young sounded more than a little bit like the AJC's Cynthia Tucker, who has argued that it's past time to shut the organization down.
Said Young:
"I have said that the SCLC that I worked with was a movement. And that movement ended somewhere — a little after the early '70s. Dr. King always resisted forming an organization and selling memberships.
"They are fighting over an organization. I didn't have any interest in an organization when I was working for SCLC. I have an interest in a movement.
"If anybody is doing anything that is a movement, or the possibility of a movement, I would be glad to support it. But I'm not interested in organizations. None of them," Young said. "Except the NAACP."
There was also the matter of Young and the Democratic race for attorney general. Ken Hodges, the Dougherty County prosecutor, has claimed Young's endorsement.
But the former Atlanta mayor has written a check to state Rep. Rob Teilhet of Smyrna.
"That's where I am," Young smiled. Between the two candidates, in other words.
Young said that Hodges came to him "to explain to me his difficulties" – resentment among African-Americans, some of whom blame him for the failure to prosecute a white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black motorist in Columbus in 2003. "
Said Young:
"I took a picture with him. But the picture that I took with him really was at Joe Lowery's retirement. It didn't constitute a formal endorsement.
"I didn't know him very well, but I didn't want to be against him. When I talked to Rob I realized that he had a good record also, and I have on number of occasions have supported more than one Democrat."
All that said, the former Atlanta mayor said that Hodges shouldn't be saddled with baggage from the Kenneth Walker incident.

June 1st, 2010

I am OK with not "saddling" Ken Hodges with all his MANY legal & ethical mistakes, so long as he is not saddled up to be our top state legal official. Ken Hodges should just fade into private practice, he does not have the judgement, knowledge or ethics to be our attorney general. The "Phoebe Factoids" false prosecution debacle is another example of what I mean.
June 1st, 2010
2:18 pm
There is a documentary film called "Do No Harm" which shows Hodges at his worst. Hodges makes Mike Nifong (remember Duke rape case?) look honest and ethical.
The Walker case was a tragedy, to be sure.
The fact that the videotape of the shooting was not seen by the grand jury is a pure and simple injustice. Hodge should have empaneled a second grand jury in the Walker case, pure and simple.
The grand jury failed to indict deputy Glisson in November 2004, and the videotape of the shooting was released in December 2004.
Goto Youtube and search on 'police shoot unarmed man in custody' and see if you would vote to indict Glisson. Walker was unarmed, face-down on the ground, with three other deputies on top of him, Glisson strolls over and fires two rounds from his MP5 into Walkers head (go look at the video).

too much money to be made off decisiveness……..
June 1st, 2010

The Walker shooting is also on MetaCafe. Hodges argues that he cannot control what a jury does, therefore the whole Walker case is not his problem. But in light of the new evidence that was made available (911 calls, videotape of shooting), Hodges acted irresponsibly by not recommending that a second grand jury meet.
Also, there was a state law that was passed as a result of Hodge's misconduct in that case… Hodges did not swear-in the witnesses…in this case the man who pulled the trigger….for the grand jury proceedings. Thus the testimony was not given under oath (making the testimony invalid).
A State law was passed this year that Bans unsworn grand jury testimony.
Also, Hodges is party to a lawsuit regarding the Phoebe Putnam hospital case, as he (allegedly) fabricated and manipulated evidence in that case, and even issued phony subpoenas.
There's a reason Hodges left Albany after the Phoebe-Putnam affair….

that's like feeling sorry for Hitler being 'saddled with the baggage of that Halocaust incident'.
The job of a prosecutor is very simple: you present evidence to a grand jury, and let the people decide whether a crime has been committed.
Hodges seems to have a teeny weeny problem with evidence. He either fabricates it, as in the Rehberg case, he mishandles it, as in the Walker case, or he simply denies that it exists, as he did with the Walker case.
If Hodges loses the Rehberg case, he could get disbarred, which would greatly diminish the probability of getting elected to be Attorney General.

Here's a Tip:
When you're running for Attorney General, and there is a documentary film about your misconduct as a prosecutor, you better pull some strings to make sure that film does not get seen by potential voters….Oh wait, did that already:
Hodges has some powerful and rich connections…his campaign treasurer is a Calloway, one of the richest Republican families in Georgia. Surely a phone call was made so that GPB would not show that film.

Oxendine…..pfffftttttt….(coffeee spray).
Oxendine used to have lights and siren on his state-issued vehicle, but the GBI revoked his permit for that. It seems he was using his lights and siren for emergencies, such as being late for dinner.
Oxendine wrecked six state vehicles, including that elusive 'swerved to miss a deer' crash (that seems to happen to politicians as they leave a bar late at night). Police somehow "forgot" to do a breathalyzer test for that incident….how convenient.
And he was reprimanded for buying a sedan with leather interior on the state dime when there was a spending freeze going on.
Sounds like an honest humble public servant to me.
"In 2001, Oxendine was stripped of his permit to use emergency lights and sirens on his state-issued car after the GBI investigation discovered repeated misuses of state property. The report revealed that he had regularly turned on his blue light and siren to get through traffic when he was late for personal appointments. Therefore, the Department of Public Safety revoked Oxendine's emergency light permit and ordered the blue lights be removed from his automobile. It has been seven years, and the state Department of Public Safety refuses to reissue the equipment due to Oxendine's abuse of authority."

Amazing Machine Helps Anyone
Draw a Self-Portrait
Kyle McDonald and Matt Mets' "Blind Self Portrait Machine" is a dream come true for those born without the artistic gene. Sit in front of the device (made from parts from a MakerBot 3D printer), hold a pen, and the device uses a digital camera to track your features and guide your hand to "draw" a portrait!
While the visitor keeps their eyes shut, a moving platform guides a pen in their hand to draw a self-portrait, using computer vision to track their face and generate a line drawing. The result is a machine-aided drawing, a self-portrait you could never draw.
The technical backend details available over at GitHub.
Via MAKE Blog

while the concept is a cool idea. just drilling a hole in the board to hold a pen would do the same thing.. it doesnt need you.. now if it allowed for changing colors.. or not drawing the lines that shouldnt be there.. then it would be very cool..

Mr. Russell's wonderfully mad odyssey of a movie, in which a man sets out to find his biological parents and winds up meeting more weirdos than Alice found down the rabbit hole.
Flirting is a little too weighed down with stage business to soar. But episode for episode, it's one of the ha-ha-funniest movies currently around.
Despite some expert performances --the picture remains as confused as its hero; unlike him, it never does find its identity.

Access "Deconstructing Central Administration in SharePoint 2010"
This article is part of the February 2011 issue of SharePoint governance and e-discovery
SharePoint is a very broad platform. Since its inception in 2001, Microsoft has steadily added features, functions and capabilities. What was once a primarily document-centric sharing tool, has now become effectively a development platform that provides Web content management, business intelligence, personalization, line-of-business application integration and, yes, document sharing. With all of the changes, however, Microsoft has struggled to create an equally capable set of administration controls. In the latest release, SharePoint 2010, its Central Administration site is more complete than in past versions. Unfortunately, you'll still need to administer SharePoint through a combination of local interfaces, site/site collection interfaces and command-line utilities. Just what is Central Administration? SharePoint Central Administration is a proper SharePoint site that exposes a lot, but not all, of the administrative interfaces to control various functions and configurations within SharePoint.

Incumbent won't be running for re-election in the fall and said Monday she was just "worn out."
A former member of the Glen Rock Borough Council, Moore was appointed to fill the in June of 2011 after she abruptly resigned.
Moore at the Monday school board meeting said she was honest in telling the board she wasn't sure she'd run again when the seat was put to the election test in 2012.
"I had to evaluate how I would fit the role, mesh with the other board members and learn more of the workings of the board," Moore said.
Though said she didn't question the hard work and dedication of the board, Moore found "the manner in which information is distributed and decisions are made inhibiting to the way I like to function as a member of a group and participate in the decision making process."
Moore thanked the members for the opportunity to serve and expressed hope she's made a "positive contribution" in the year she's served. She said she's looking forward to helping select a new superintendent after in the spring.
"It was a difficult decision but I think I'm just worn out," Moore said with a laugh.
Incumbents Gene Calderon and Barbara Steuert in the November election. Similarly, residents Liz Carr, James Chung and Sean Massaro also filed their notice with the county clerk for the three open seats.
The status of Massaro's candidacy isn't clear after indicating the 18-year-old EMT will focus on his collegiate studies instead of serving on the school board.
, extending terms of current members by six months. As a result, the school budget is now out of the public's hands.
[Note: The previous article detailing the candidates initially stated Moore filed to run in November. She did not file the paperwork.]

On Saturday, September 27th, the Belz Museum will present a showing of The Monuments Men FREE for the public.
Show Times: 12:30pm, 2:45pm
The Monuments Men (2014)(PG-13) Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action drama focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 - possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind's greatest achievements. (118 min.)
Holocaust Memorial GalleryThe years between 1933 and 1945 witnessed the systematic torture and annihilation of over ten million people under Nazi Germany and its collaborators across Europe and Asia. An estimated six million of those murdered were Jews, including over one million children. These twelve years of mass imprisonment and slaughter reduced the pre-World War II Jewish population of nine million by two-thirds. Hitler's attempt at complete genocide is known as the Holocaust.
In order to successfully exterminate the Jews and other "undesirables," such as disabled citizens, homosexuals, the Romani and other ethnic minorities, prisoners of war, and any opponents to Nazi law, Hitler required an elaborate network of facilities. Strategically located ghettos and concentration camps were placed throughout Germany and Nazi controlled Europe. These camps were used for internment, transfer, labor, POWs, and extermination, among other purposes. Most Jews perished within the camps, but the fortunate few who lived share harrowing tales of betrayal, loss, grief, faith, luck, strength, endurance, and survival.
The Belz Museum's new Holocaust Memorial Gallery gives visitors a rare opportunity to come face to face with Jewish survivors of the Holocaust via portraits and testimonials from the "Living On" exhibit. The photographer worked with the Tennessee Holocaust Commission to give voice to the survivors, refugees, and liberators now living in Tennessee. These faces reveal not only their own stories, but the stories of loved ones who did not survive to be heard. Other displays in the gallery: Jewish ghetto currency, photographs of Jews in concentration camps, sculptures and artwork, World War II information panels and timeline, and other personal memorabilia work in conjunction to provide insight about the willful cruelty and ignorance Jews faced during this dark period in time.
The gallery's purpose is not to memorialize the Holocaust as a whole tragedy, but rather to share with visitors the personal tragedies and experiences of these individuals, which ultimately define the Holocaust. One day, these witnesses will no longer be available to share their first-hand knowledge with the rest of the world. The Holocaust Memorial Gallery has been created to connect all generations; for each successive generation will face the responsibility of bearing witness. While individual experiences may seem insignificant to the greater world, human beings seek connection and understanding; thus shared struggles lead to the discovery that what haunts one haunts us all. However, not forgetting the ghosts of the past can also give the world hope. With this in mind, the Belz Museum of Asian & Judaic Art wishes to show its support for all the Holocaust survivors and refugees, and their families, around the world.

Vote of the week: Story vs. sensation?
Written by Robert Niles
Yesterday's conference call with Six Flags managers yielded one particularly fascinating moment for me. Another reporter observed that none of the attractions Six Flags announced were based on the DC Comics or other characters that Six Flags has licensed to use in its theme parks. Six Flags' Al Weber responded that absence wasn't due to Six Flags' backing off the use of such characters - it's just "how the cards played" this particular year. The reporter followed up by asking how Six Flags determines when and where to use theming in rides.Tweet
That's where things got interesting. Weber responded by asking a question of his own: whether the reporter meant theming or IP (which is industry shorthand for "intellectual property," the use of licensed characters and stories).
That question stunned me. I think it surprised the reporter, as well, because a beat passed before he responded with the same point I would have made: Aren't those pretty much the same thing?
Weber then explained his point of view: Theming is the application of physical texture and context on and around rides, where IP is the use of a licensed character.
And with that, I got a clearer understanding of Six Flags and its management. To me, what Weber described as "theming," I'd call decoration. A "themed" attraction, to me, is one that tells a story, arising from a specific place, time, and set of characters that are, collectively, the attraction's "theme."
A park's IP provides the cast of characters from which park designers can select themes for the park's attractions. So (in this world view, at least), no matter how a ride might be decorated, if there are no characters and no story, the ride is unthemed.
The exchanged helped me understand why fans, and even people in the industry, sometimes end up talking past one another when discussing theming in the parks. It's hard to have a productive conversation about theming if the people talking have different definitions of what theming means.
That's why I made a mental note to start using the terms "storytelling" and "decor" more often. Perhaps they get closer to the issues we're talking about when so many of us use the word "theme."
That said, the exchange also got me thinking about the importance of storytelling in theme park attractions, versus physical sensation and thrill. Obviously, Six Flags goes after consumers who want a heavy helping of physical sensation when they visit a park. You won't find nearly the amount of or level of storytelling that fans find at Disney, Universal, or SeaWorld parks. But Disney, Universal and SeaWorld park occupy the top 12 spots for the most-attended parks in America. People love storytelling, as well as physical thrills.
So which one do you prefer? That's our vote of the week.
I know that the ideal answer is "both!" But let me push you to pick one over the other here.
Let's think of it this way: Assume you've got a choice between two theme park rides. One tells an exciting story with engaging characters, but the ride's a total snore. You're moving - barely - but if it weren't for the story and setting, it'd be the most boring few minutes you've ever spent. The other ride is pure physical fun. It's not so extreme that it makes you feel sick, or even uncomfortable. But it definitely gets your blood moving and your senses singing. Story? Sorry. If you weren't riding, and were just looking around, well, it'd be most boring few minutes you've ever spent.
Readers' Opinions
From Jorge Arnoldson on August 31, 2012 at 7:40 PM
As a theme park AND coaster enthusiast, I would say a balance between both, like rides at Universal and SeaWorld Ent. parks.
From 22.214.171.124 on August 31, 2012 at 7:43 PM
Robert, I have to disagree with your definition. I will use one example: Asia at Disney's Animal Kingdom. This is a heavily themed land with some of the best and most complete story telling beginning with the view of the imposing mountain from places even outside the land, then gradually adding in hints of the yeti, blah blah blah you know the rest.
However this land (as far as I'm aware) use little to no intellectual property. It doesn't take intellectual property to make a good attraction, tell a good story, or be engaging.
From Becky Lee on August 31, 2012 at 7:49 PM
I love good storytelling & if the ride has a good story that carries from the wait line through the ride that to me makes a good ride. It also makes the wait time more enjoyable if you have something to focus on other then the fact you're standing in another line.
From Melissa Donahue on August 31, 2012 at 7:57 PM
I have to respectfully disagree with your definition of "theming." I believe that a ride/attraction can still be themed without a character or storyline -- i.e. Maverick at Cedar Point. This ride clearly exhibits a western theme, even though there are no story lines or characters.
I think the bigger distinction occurs with theming vs. full immersion. I would argue that Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is both themed and immersive, unlike Maverick that is simply themed.
From Tony Duda on August 31, 2012 at 8:24 PM
It surprised me that you only thought that using a copy-writed character defines an entity as themed (putting it in my words). Then the whole idea of what is considered a "theme park" is negated. I always thought over-arching general similarities of rides/attractions "decor" and "story" created the "theme", not an Intellectual Property that someone owns and licences to someone else. Oh well, I'm not in the business, only a paying customer, so what do I know.
From Michael Smith on August 31, 2012 at 8:26 PM
I picked storytelling, but I'm really more interested in being immersed in a unique environment than being fed a story. Too much story, and the ride becomes annoying and loses re-ride-ability. The great rides to me have very loose story-lines and extremely detailed "decor". The atmosphere puts you in another world or another time, and the ride lets your imagination fill in the blanks of the story. I think this is why rides like Pirates and Haunted Mansion are such Classics. Take the latter. The story is pretty much that you are visiting a mansion. You are able to draw your own conclusions about what you see while inside. Your host simply introduces himself shows you around for a bit, then leaves you and your imagination to enjoy the rest of your time in the house. Great rides have no annoying preshow telling you what your mission-about-to-go-wrong is. I'd take no story at all over being beat in the head with one. So, I guess what I'm saying is I take decor over sensation and story.
From Charles Reichley on August 31, 2012 at 8:58 PM
You've confused me. You spent a good deal of time convincing me that theming was really "storytelling", and that this involved intellectual property and characters.
But then you said the SeaWorld parks were big into storytelling.
And while I have always thought the Busch Garden's parks were well-themed, I can't for the life of me figure out what intellectual property Seaworld licenses, or how they tell a story. They have cool, quirky shows, and penguins and other animals, and an occasional ride scattered around that remind us of how they have animals.
From James Rao on August 31, 2012 at 10:20 PM
As Marty Sklar, a former international ambassador for Walt Disney Imagineering, once said, "We're in the business of telling great stories, and great stories never grow old. In the end, a roller coaster is just a roller coaster."
Of course, in a perfect world, someone would build a great story-driven, 4-D coaster, with amazing animatronics, a 500 ft drop, a top speed of 200 mph, and 17 inversions. But who said this world is perfect? As long as it remains imperfect give me story, narrative, and immersion over decoration and thrills fo' sho'!!!
From Ryan Spann on August 31, 2012 at 11:24 PM
If I owned a theme park now, I would most likely never use any sort of intellectual property. My park would be so heavily themed and immersive I wouldn't need that sort of thing. Also I do believe you can have a big ride with great storytelling as part of it.
From 220.127.116.11 on September 1, 2012 at 12:02 AM
This is easy...story telling and themeing all the way! Imo the greatest ride Ever made is pirates of the Caribbean, especially when you account that it was done in 1967 and was about 40 years ahead of its time given that other Parks are barely starting to catch up(though I wouldn't say surpass) that level of themeing! The entire land is already immaculately themed to antebellum new Orleans(check out the US flag above the ride entrance with only 31 stars for a cool detail) and from the cue to the ride and then exiting into the backstreets of new Orleans it always amazes me the incredible high standard that Walt left us with his final ride that he personally oversaw. Its also tantalyzing to think what he would've done next because abviously with his final attractions he was aiming for epic scale, things never done before. So ya that's why I say storytelling is way more important if done right.
From Nick Orlando on September 1, 2012 at 12:32 AM
In reply to Charles' SeaWorld comment-
SeaWorld has pretty much always been story focused. Sure their shows may be a little quirky- but most have always told a story. Sometimes that story has been more education or conservation based- however as a zoological park that should be expected. Even their thrill attractions have a narrative quality to them- namely Mission Bermuda Triangle, JTA, Wild Arctic, and the new Turtle Trek.
I would like to note that props, decor, and IP are not necessarily needed to tell a story. For example, the most successful unthemed roller coasters (no decor or IP) have dynamic layouts with a clear beginning, middle, and end that tells their story. Simular to a way that a symphony piece of music can tell a story without words, so can some thrill rides!
From 188.8.131.52 on September 1, 2012 at 6:49 AM
I think what we want in a ride depends on our age.
3-10 years old - Theme - A good story mixed with the imagination of a child makes for a great experience.
11-25 - Thrills - Slap on a Batman logo on a coaster and that's all the theme needed. We just want to go fast, high, and upside-down.
25-50 - Both - The escape from reality is part of a day at the parks for this age bracket. We want the adrenaline rush as well as theme that takes away from our every day life.
50+ - Theme - I can't speak for myself but I know when I go with my Dad to parks he points out all the little details that I've missed.
From O T on September 1, 2012 at 6:54 AM
The combination of both are the best. A great example is Splash Mountain. I've never seen the movie but I understand what is happening and during the ride some very exiting movements are combined with a slow moving boat ride. Another great one is the Tower of terror. That attraction is so much more than a regular drop tower and it doesn't matter how big or fast it is, it's about the story and the trill.
I don't care for the re telling of a story (like little mermaid). What is the use in telling me something I already know, why not tell a new story in that universe.
When a attraction only has movement (like a coaster) most of the time the first drop is great (like Hulk) but it's less exiting after that. The next coaster should always top the previous one to give me the same adrenalin rush. I think they are a bad investment because only a little demographic part can enjoy it and it gets old quick after the next best thing.
I like Transformers or Spiderman (both Universal Studios) better then a coaster. I feel the same thrill as a coaster like speed but I have an experience that is exiting from finish to start and the whole family can join into the fun.

I think we need to go one step further and look at how the ride's story and or decor contributes to the park as a whole. Six Flags and even Disney itself fail by picking ride names, decor, intellectual property, or story that don't fit the themed area or even park as a whole. Most peole don't even know what Six Flags originally meant (at least in Texas, Georgia, and Missouri). The most telling statement was when the suit said something to the effect that the theme ie decor supports the ride, not that the ride supports the theme ie. the experience that is supposed to be developed in that themed area of the park. Traditional parks "themed" individual rides but theme parks were meant to be something more. Six Flags parks long ago ceased to be theme parks in the true sense of the word. Busch Gardens are the only ones that continue to exist at the regional or non-Disney level.

Story wise is better. Disney and Universal have great storytelling and I wish other parks could have more of that.

J. Rao said "someone would build a great story-driven, 4-D coaster, with amazing animatronics, a 500 ft drop, a top speed of 200 mph, and 17 inversions."
Someone already did. Then I woke up.

^Yeah, that's a great dream... until you realize it is a dream!
From David L. on September 1, 2012 at 11:30 AM
I love both! But I think I'm in a minority in my preference to rides. For example, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey? I love the queue, but the ride is just meh. It feels like it can be a thrill ride, but it's really too tame to call it a thrill ride. So then I naturally think about how good its story is, but it's nothing. The ride then has little appeal to me. A similar thing happens with Dragon Challenge, it's a terrible invert, and the immersion is gone while riding. If a ride can come along with amazing thrills, immersion, and storytelling, I'll love it! Rides like Dinosaur, Expedition Everest, Mission: Space, Jurassic Park, Spiderman, Mystery Mine, Splash Mountain, and Tower of Terror are amazing because they do pretty well in all three categories (including immersion). Rides that do really well with two categories are also great (thunder Mt, Star Tours, Men in Black, Pirates). Even if a ride excels in just one category, I'll love it, and if I had to pick one, it would be Story Telling.

Finally, someone who doesn't get the hype of FJ!
From Mark Kausch on September 2, 2012 at 12:09 AM
I picked great movement because of the definitions of Mr Niles - and it is his poll. To wit:
For story, the ride's the most boring few minutes I've ever spent - and I'm trapped on the ride.
For physical, the ride's the most boring few, etc. - but I'm NOT on the ride and therefore free to pick another that is more to my liking.
And @ O T - you said you liked Splash Mountain and didn't like Little Mermaid (I assume you're talking about the one at DCA, but I guess it could apply to DHS as well) for the same reason - a retelling of the story. The only difference is that you've seen the Little Mermaid and haven't seen Song of the South. Doesn't quite compute.
From Derek Potter on September 3, 2012 at 8:21 PM
I've always thought of themes as an appearance which lends itself either the appearance of the ride or its experience. Storytelling on a ride is a fairly abstract idea because it depends on the person, their motives, and their interpretation. Rides with decor aren't always storytellers, but they provide a way for riders to be dropped into a different world...or sometimes they just look nicer.
The reason why Six Flags doesn't deck out their rides is fairly simple...money. Stories and decor have to be done right and maintained over time, and if the initial concept is bad or done half heartedly with the penny pinching mindset, it's a waste from the start. In short, all the extras cost a lot, and parks who don't charge a hundred bucks at the gate generally don't have the resources to design build and create 100 million dollar attractions. That doesn't mean that they should ignore decor though. The coaster on a concrete pad concept always puzzled me. If you have 25 million to build a coaster, why not an extra few hundred thousand to do something to make it look good...or at least landscape the thing if nothing else. It's kind of like buying the big flat screen 3D TV and then not spending the money on the proper cables or the cable service to maximize its performance.
From Mark Hollamon on September 2, 2012 at 4:08 AM
I am so glad (and a little relieved it's not all me) that I am not the only person who thinks the queue for FJ is better than the ride. I think the queue tells a great story and is so detailed and well crafted and from the moment I board the actual ride I feel as if way too many things are thrown at me at once and I just don't get the chance to "digest" that part of the story and then the ride is over.
I think the perfect ride is Story AND Sensation. Splash Mountain to me is a perfect example. We get a story that evolves and the mood of the ride noticeably changes as our rabbit friend gets deeper into hot water...then BOOM! Sensation...upbeat ending...scene.
An example of the opposite for me would be SFGA's BATMAN The Ride. Here's a coaster with some similar Batman color scheming and a Batman logo. That's really it and although it seemed pretty cool when it first went into operation, it really is nothing more than a mediocre coaster with a trademarked logo.
Pure thrill rides tell stories all their own in a different way. Just look at the people exiting the ride....
From Anon Mouse on September 2, 2012 at 4:01 PM
"It's hard to have a productive conversation about theming if the people talking have different definitions of what theming means."
Huh? This is a huh question.
Clearly, the Six Flags executive discussed IP from the beginning. The reporter decided to change the question to be about theming rather than the issue of IP.
Six Flags seems to have problems with both (1) the lack of theming, and (2) not using IP to the fullest extent.
Their rides uses the bare minimum of theming and their use of comic book theming is barely there like slap on some color, use some decor, and call it a Batman ride.
From 184.108.40.206 on September 2, 2012 at 7:55 PM
I think the assumption that themeing and intelectual property is the same thing is dangerous! Its something that disney has dove headfirst into doing lately and its sad because some of the best themeing disney has ever done has used absolutely no intellectual property! Expedition everest, countdown to extinction, soarin, all of main street usa, alien encounter, the haunted mansion, runaway mine train, the original pirates of the caribbean, its a small world. Whats SAD is the thought that IP = themeing and like I said disney has been diving head first i to this sad pit. Changing alien encounter to stitch's great escape, changing the pirates of the caribbean and cou tdown to extinction to dinosaur. Rather than creating a whole new Disney themed land for animal kingdom they turned to james cameron to get the rites to use avatar which is going to completely ruin the theme of the entire animal kingdom park....avatar doesnt fit there! Sure you can say to me neither does the yeti or the oroginal plans to put dragons before Universal stole the idea for dueling dragons fron disney. But you fail to recognize that dragons and yhe yeti have true historical significance in our past when civilizations truly believed they existed, in fact there are many civilizations in Nepal that still believe the Yeti truly does exist! Avatar is a conpletely fictional story about some blue alien beings that was completely made up from someones mind...it holds no true significance in the planets history and none-so fits in animal kingdom. But disney sees its the highest grossing movie of all time so to them that IP = the best themeing they can put in.....someone needs to go slap some sense into the current imagineers theyve been missing the point lately and I see its worn off on you as well. IP absolutely DOES NOT = theme!
From AJ Hummel on September 2, 2012 at 9:30 PM
It's a ride, so there has to be some movement component. it's a small world is a good example of what I consider the minimum amount of motion before a ride becomes more of a show. I enjoy pretty much any type of ride regardless of the theming quality, but I usually find all but the best shows uninteresting, so I voted for motion.
From N O on September 3, 2012 at 11:14 AM
I totaly agree ! Themeing to me is basically what you said, "Story-telling". You can't name a ride a themed ride if its just decorted, which is what six flags does. Themed rides are like the rides you see at Disney parks or Universal parks. I love rides that tell a story but, I am also a fan of thrill rides. Theme parks should have some of their thrill rides tell a story instead of what they call "themeing", by decorating them. Just because it's a thrill ride doesnt mean it can't tell a story. Just look at the thrill rides at Disney and Universal.

Another ER EXperience with Sean T
Last Thursday, the 20th, Sean had to go back to the ER as he was bleeding from the bladder - majorly. So we spent about 8 hours there before they got the bleeding to stop. The major thing was, had I not been there, they would have sent him back to the facility still bleeding like they did the Tuesday before!!! I had to finesse, cajole and per sue the ER doc to get him to do what needed to be done and that was to call a Urologist when he couldn't get the bleeding to stop.
Then when the PA from the Urology Group showed up she had an attitude as well. When she told Sean what was needed, then he copped an attitude and she responded with "Then my hands are tied, I can't do anything for you, you'll have to go back to the facility." I held my hand up and said, "Wait!" I explained to Sean that this was a procedure not a permanent deal to get the bleeding to stop. He then said, "Oh, I misunderstood, okay, that is fine." Then I turned to the attitudinal PA and said, "Okay, do your stuff!"
She did and was able to flush out all the blood clots and therefore, the bleeding stopped. Mission accomplished! And we could then go home...
This hospital has just opened a new Emergency Facility and it seems the whole staff was stressed from new procedures to not being able to find needed supplies and whatever. It was this that allowed me to keep my cool. I knew I was dealing with a lot of stressed out staff. So, thankfully, I was able to proceed with finesse and to finally get the results that we were there to obtain.
As well, I see this as a blessing in disguise as we were presented with a new Urology Group. The one Sean has had has certainly dropped the ball and we needed some "new blood", yes a pun there indeed. Anyway, we have a follow up appointment on Friday the 28th and hopefully this doctor will be able to help Sean with the urinary tract infections and make some progress in that direction. As always, I look for the silver lining in every experience...
So, after walking forever in the hospital scenerio with this boot cast on, this 'ole girl is tired. Took Sean some lunch today and pushed myself as far as I could go. Taking tomorrow off to rest me self...
Thanking all of you for your continued prayers and loving intentions for us on this healing journey...

There are few bikes as comfortable as Moto Guzzi's Norge.

The BMW R1150R is an honest-to-goodness Boxer twin that will provide years of faithful commuting service while not exactly setting pulses racing. Once you've overcome the idiosyncratic indicator switchgear arrangement (one per bar, plus another to cancel), the lumpy motor and poor gearbox, it's actually quite endearing.

Smart Design: Switch Plug Saves Power [PICS]
Take one look at this Switch Plug and you'll immediately see its value. Plug it in while the switch is in its off position, and there's less of a chance of sparks or shocks. Once you plug it in, flip the switch and its LEDs light up, reminding you that there's energy flowing through that plug, perhaps encouraging you to turn it off when not in use. Our only quibble: those LEDs better draw very little power, lest they defeat the Switch Plug's energy-saving purpose.

hi mom!
June: Oy! Work has been really steady this summer and i feel blessed for it. June saw the Julia Stone promo stuff in LA and NYC, Thieving Irons shows in Boston, NY and Washington DC and Yellowbirds shows in Chicago, Boston and NYC supporting the amazing Fruitbats. As well as one-offs with David Wax Museum, Hannah Cohen and The Combine.
July: Annie Nero, Nate Martinez, Brian Kantor and I have been working on the record we started last winter in Maine at Great North Sound Society and making serious progress! Looking to mix in late August with D. James Goodwin. Also, recording some w/ Steve Salett, newish songs of high quality and beautifulness. Thieving Irons played a great set for WFUV's Alternate Side and gave, i hope, a compelling interview. On Wed i performed a show at City Winery w/ Hannah Cohen supporting Martha Wainwright. Hannah wore a muumuu.
Today i'm driving up to North Hampton, Ma to play bass with Thieving Irons opening for Iron & Wine at The Calvin Theater. Looking forward to playing pretty music with the fellas and seeing Rob Burger!
