Which Patagonia fleece jacket is the best fleece jacket for you?
"This fall, I've already had three friends send me an email or text with the same question: "Which is the best fleece jacket?" It can be a difficult question to answer, because there are so many fleece jackets available, and because the best fleece jacket for you will vary widely depending on what you want to do with it..."

Started up a new fic called The Bad Habit. It's an idea that's been stuck in my head for quite some time now. If you haven't already, check it out here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8730137/1/The-Bad-Habit
Who would be the best man and maid of honor in Ash's and May's wedding?
It kinda goes without saying that Brock would be the best man, and then the maid of honor would obviously be Harley.
Barry could be the ring man and, as his clumsy self, run in, trip, rings go flying and fall on the floor, and Munchlax eats them.
And then May chases Barry around the church xD

Microwobbleboard™ sizing information
Instep sizing information FitFlop footwear only comes in whole sizes. If your feet fall somewhere between, opt up a size if you have wide feet or a high instep, and down if you have narrow feet or a low instep. In the US, most people size down to the nearest whole size. In the rest of the world, people generally size up. Fit To ensure these fit, take 20-30 brisk walking steps in them, then look at your heels to make sure they are not being pushed off the back of the footbed. If they are, the upper straps are too tight across your instep and you need to SIZE UP (if a size up seems too long for your foot, please try another style). Note: It is normal to have some space between your toes and the front of the footwear.

Income disparity has become a prominent part of today's social and political landscape. The gap between the highest incomes and the average income per person has been increasing from its historic low point in the 60's, until recently passing the inequality spike of the 30's. A chart of income disparity over the last century reveals symmetry between the historic Great Depression and our own more self-conscious "Great Recession."
The ratio between the income of the top 20% and that of the bottom 20% has doubled from a low of around 7:1 in 1968 to a 14:1 ratio today(*). There are many indicators of inequity; one that has fueled a tipping point of public opinion is the fact that the top 1% of the US population captured half of the economic growth between 1993 to 2007 (**). What's more, the wealth of the top 1% has been increasing at a rate ten times faster than the middle income population (***).
"We are the 99%" signs from Occupy Wall Street and other Occupy groups are uniting frustrated individuals, each with their own discouraging story, under the common language of inequity.
While the media is delivering various representations of inequity, we at the Gulf Coast Community Design Studio are trying to understand the issue from a design point of view. We have started asking the critical question: "What would equity look like in _____?"
For example we are asking:
What would equity look like in an affordable housing program?
What would equity look like in an inner-city redevelopment plan?
What would equity look like in a public park project?
We are looking for equity in both the process and the products of our work. We don't claim to have the answers to our own questions. However, we find asking these questions to be a useful critical tool.
To start, we believe that equity in design does not work like equity in money. To illustrate in simple terms: ten dollars shared by four people equals two and one-half dollars for each person. One the other hand, a design decision shared by four people equals a better decision. This is because equity in access, equity in learning, equity in decision-making, and other such opportunity-based activities are not a zero-sum game like notions of equity in income, in which the only way one person gains money is when another person loses money. (In reality, income distribution only looks like a zero-sum game when it is seen statically. In the real economy, income is dynamic and is reproduced, recycled and multiplied as it circulates within an economic community. Thus, systems that create opportunities for exchange within a community do more to increase distributed income than trying to bring income into the community by exportation.)
The Gulf Coast Community Design Studio is fortunate to be involved with a team of local planning and advocacy organizations working on a HUD Sustainable Communities Grant. This three-year project aims to develop a regional plan for the Mississippi Gulf Coast that integrates housing, transportation, land use, economic development and other activities into a plan that is shaped by sustainability and equity. At the federal level the Sustainable Communities Initiative is a manifestation of the unprecedented cooperation between HUD, the EPA and the Department of Transportation. The language of sustainability is merging with language of equity. Following this significant trend, the Gulf Coast team is calling its work "Plan for Opportunity," using language that bridges equity and sustainability. The use of the word "opportunity" avoids the growing political division around the more liberal words "sustainability" and "equity."
At the international level, it is certainly more than a coincidence that the language of sustainability is being combined with equity. Every year since 1990, the United Nations has sponsored an extensive study of global conditions, called the Human Development Report. An overview of the report titles for the past twenty years is a reading of the dominant concerns and language of each year. The report for 2011 is titled; "Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All." The report argues that the urgent global challenges of sustainability and equity must be addressed together, emphasizing the "human right to a healthy environment, the importance of integrating social equity into environmental policies, and the critical importance of public participation and official accountability."
We at the Gulf Coast Community Design Studio are going to do more to articulate the integration of sustainability and equity in our own work and to do what we can to help others do likewise. We are going to be using the question, "What would equity look like in____?" to share some lessons learned and to invite and challenge other practices to do the same. We look forward to an encouraging dialogue from a range of practices. We are hopeful that using the positive language of the imagination, rather than the divisive language of politics, will prove useful.
–David Perkes, Director of the Gulf Coast Community Design Studio

Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. In a 7-2 ruling on Jan. 22, 1973, the justices declared laws prohibiting abortion violated a woman's constitutional right to privacy. They also said states could regulate abortion procedures in the interest of a woman's health or in protecting a potential human life starting at the end of the pregnancy's first trimester.
Abortion was legal under common law in the United States leading up to the 19th century, says Leslie Reagan, professor of history and law at the University of Illinois and author of "When Abortion was a Crime." Early laws only prohibited the use of toxic substances to cause miscarriages after "quickening," or when a woman feels her child move -- usually four or five months into the pregnancy.
"That was the moral point where people understood there was a life," Reagan says.
Since then, the definition of life has been debated many times over, but Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land.
Learn more about the events leading up to this historic decision, and what's happened in the four decades since the ruling:
1821: Connecticut passes the first law in the United States to restrict abortion. It prohibits the use of a toxic substance to cause a miscarriage after "quickening." A number of other states follow.
1873: Anthony Comstock, head of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, lobbies to pass the Comstock Law, a federal law banning the selling or distributing of materials related to contraception and abortion.
1930s: The number of abortions increases significantly during the Great Depression. "The Depression years make vivid the relationship between economics and reproduction," Reagan writes. "Married women with children found it impossible to bear the expense of another, and unmarried women could not afford to marry."
The dangerous practice of unregulated abortions led to a high U.S. maternal mortality rate, Reagan says. In her book, she cites a study done in 1931 showing illegal procedures are responsible for 14 percent of maternal deaths.
1950s: Hospitals start to form "therapeutic abortion boards" to decide whether doctors can perform an abortion on a case-by-case basis, according to Reagan. Therapeutic abortions are allowed by law if the mother's life is in danger. Hospital restrictions generated resentment among physicians who felt "shackled" by the law, Reagan writes.
1955: Planned Parenthood organizes a conference, "Abortion in the United States," that includes testimony from sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, abortionist G. Lotrell Timanus and Planned Parenthod's then-medical director Mary Calderone. A record of the conference is published in 1958, launching a national discussion on reformed abortion laws.
1960s: Pat Maginnis founds the Society for Humane Abortion, later becoming one of the first people to publicly campaign for legalizing abortion. "They thought she was insane," Reagan says of Maginnis' fellow abortion-rights advocates. "They're trying to start talking about reform... and having her out there was hurting them."
1962: Sherri Finkbine, an Arizona mother of four, travels to Sweden after a local hospital denies her request for a legal abortion. Finkbine had taken the drug thalidomide, which researchers linked to birth defects.
The hospital was initially going to perform the procedure but withdrew its offer after Finkbine told her story to the local newspaper in hopes of alerting mothers to the dangers of the drug. The resulting publicity threw her into the middle of a worldwide debate.
1969: A group of young women in Chicago starts "Jane," an underground system that helps women find safe and affordable illegal abortions. Eventually they learn to perform the procedures themselves, completing nearly 12,000 abortions from 1969 to 1973, according to a documentary about the group.
Two significant court cases -- People v. Belous and Doe v. Scott, which reached the Supreme Court in 1971 -- declare abortion laws unconstitutional. "That prompted people all over the place to start putting together cases... challenging state abortion laws," Reagan says.
1970: By the early 1970s, 20 states have passed abortion reform or repeal laws. Hawaii, Alaska, New York and Washington state have legalized abortion.
1972: The Supreme Court legalizes the use of birth control pills for all women, regardless of marital status. Before the decision, only married women were able to receive the pill through a doctor's prescription.
1973: The Supreme Court settles Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, declaring abortion a right-to-privacy issue and hospital therapeutic abortion boards unconstitutional.
"Though often overlooked since, (Bolton) was as important as Roe," Reagan writes. "The Court held in Doe v. Bolton that policies designed to restrict access to abortion ... violated the rights of women to health care and of physicians to practice."

At any moment the software can be disabled or minimized (by clicking its icon, or by hitting the ESC button), if it gets in the way or becomes too intrusive. It can also be disabled from working in specific applications by configuring the software properties. The software requires an online connection to our servers, but the traffic generated is modest and consumes almost no bandwidth. Also all communication between the Client and the Servers is encrypted, and any attempt to reverse engineer the protocol will fail. A.I.type is committed NOT to store any information sent to it's servers, and will not make any use of the data but for it's own statistical language analysis and monitoring user experience. Software Installation In order to use our software please install the client on your computer from the AItype web site. The software requires the Microsoft Dot-Net Framework. The installation process will identify if the Dot-Net Framework exists on your computer, and if necessary, it will install it. If the Dot-Net Framework is not present, the process will start automatically and Dot-Net Framework will be installed. The installation process might take up to 20 minutes to complete (first time only). The installation process will ask if you would like to save the Setup file on your computer (Desktop for example), or you can choose to run it directly from the site. You may choose to save it on your computer if you would like to use the software on another computer (laptop for example). You'd then have to register with your email on your other computer as well.

At this point you should choose your translation language Note: The translation language selected by default is the first non-English language that is installed on your machine. Writing with the Software The software will try to smart-suggest the next words by "understanding" the context of the entire sentence. All you have to do is start writing and the software will try to help you by suggesting the next words. If the word that you are looking for is not on the list, by typing the initial characters of the word you are looking for, the software will look for a suitable match. The initial characters do NOT necessarily have to be identical to those of the word, or even consecutive characters (i.e. by typing 'wkp' the software will offer 'Wikipedia' as one of the suggestions). As long as you key in the characters, the software will try to suggest the next words, and to best match for the current word. You can either use the mouse to click on the selected word, or use the up/down arrows to navigate, and hit Enter to select the word. Right arrow will open the next suggestion list while you are on the list, and hitting the left key will 'shrink' back the list. If cursor lays on the text , you can gain back control on the right and left arrows to scroll the text. By pressing the Shift button before selecting a word, the first character in the word, gets capitalized.

It's been another lively, emotional day at the state Capitol in Madison.Thousands of demonstrators have been on hand, most protesting Governor Scott Walker's plan to strip public workers of most bargaining rights.
We examine the possible short and long term fallout of the protests in Madison and the subsequent hiding of Democratic state senators. Mordecai Lee is a professor of Governmental Affairs at UW-Milwaukee and an occasional political analyst for Lake Effect.
The Joint Finance Committee late last night approved legislation that would strip the public sector of most of its collective bargaining rights. All 12 Republicans on the committee voted in favor of the bill, while the four Democrats opposed the controversial legislation that has drawn thousands to the state Capitol this week. WUWM's LaToya Dennis joins us in the studio with the latest developments.
More protests are planned in Madison on Thursday. The state Capitol has become the center of opposition to Walker administration plans to virtually abolish state labor unions. WUWM's Marti Mikkelson is in Madison and has been speaking with some of the thousands of protesters as well as supporters of the governor's plans.
The halls of the state Capitol are expected to be packed again today as the state legislature prepares to vote on a proposal to strip state employees of most collective bargaining rights. Marti Mikkelson is in Madison and file this report.

Latest Version 184.108.40.20632, Updated August 8, 2012
Platform: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. 32-bit and 64-bit compatible, though 32-bit program.
Supports: UltraEdit 15 through 19.10 and UEStudio 9.10 through 13.10
It does not and will not support UltraEdit 20+ or UEStudio 14+. UE 20+ handles themes better than any program I could write (once you take the time to learn it well.)
As of August 29, 2012, this Software has changed the license! See the new License Agreement for details.
This program was created to help create/manage/share color schemes and syntax highlighting schemes for UltraEdit 15 to 19.10 and UEStudio 9.10 to 13.10. Since the original release, new features have been added for the direct manipulation of IDM Wordfiles to make it easier for users to make changes to, update, or make corrections to their wordfiles in a manner which is more intuitive. There are 1,687 themes available for download for use with this program and UE/UES.
Download the Portable Version ... Browse themes to download
View Change Log ... View Online User Guide
Click the Download button to get the program.
Key Features:
- Create/Load/Save Color Schemes in a special text file format to make it easier for human reading.
- Import/Export from/to UltraEdit/UEStudio for both Color Schemes and Wordfile Colors.
- Export wordfile colors to one or multiple wordfiles.
- Clear all color information from one or multiple wordfiles.
- Split a multi-language wordfile into separate wordfiles.
- Drag and drop color scheme files onto the program or program's icon to load a color scheme.
- Can associate *.ueTheme (UltraEdit Theme) files with this program to allow opening color schemes by double clicking from Windows explorer.
- Imports/Exports Font name/size to UE and to Themes.
- Sorts words, tests for duplicate words, tests for invalid words in wordfiles.
- Allows direct editing of the Language Definition line through the Language Definition tab.
A few VERY important things to note about this program...
- Back up your UltraEdit Directory before using this program as it will make changes to some of your files.
- Do not run this program while UltraEdit is open. Close UltraEdit first!
- This program only works if you do NOT use the Registry.
- This program only works if your wordfiles are separated. That is, one programming language per wordfile. Fortunately, this program provides a function to split a multi-language wordfile into separate files.
Known Issues:
- Saving Changes on the Language Definition Tab within the Word File Tools causes UE to stop highlighting comments. A work-around is to add a space to the end of the comment character(s), or re-integrate comment strings into the first line. It is recommended that you do not use the Language Definition Tab.
This post is edited regularly to reflect the current status of this program. Any time an update to the program is made, it will be reflected in this post. If you discover a bug in the program, please check back here first to be sure you have the most recent version. If you have the most recent version, and are still encountering the bug, please post about it in this thread or send an email to the support email listed in the program's About box. I regularly monitor this topic and get notifications of any posts here.
Work on this project has been halted. I simply do not have time to work on it, but do hope to pick up work on it again in the future. However, life at home has become too busy for me to invest any further time into this or any other projects at this point in time.

Enochian Crescent
Black Church
I've tried writing this review at least a dozen times, to no avail. It sucks when an album kicks my ass, and at this point, my shoulder is still pinned down at the two count, with the three count rapidly approaching. So, this is my last attempt to kick out of the pin and beat this fucker, before I go tend to my wounds for a few weeks. The cause of the stress in this instance is brought forth in the form of five-piece Finnish outfit Enochian Crescent's Black Church, an album about as confusing as, well, heterosexual drag queens.
Maybe it would be easiest to try to split this review into two different perspectives, one practical and boring, the other a little closer to how I really feel. The first viewpoint concerns the actual music on Black Church, which is painfully tight, and reinforced by some rather sturdy musicianship. A respectable production job gives things a crisp, clean finish, without yanking the balls off of the riffs with its bare hands like some deranged, suspicious housewife accusing her husband of infidelity. Instead, the mix cups those sonic passion plums of creativity (gay enough for ya', ladies?) with a firm yet reasonably comfortable grip, letting the musical expressions thrash along tumultuously through many different and contrasting technical black metal passages. Now when I say black metal, I don't mean the symphonic, ambient, or raw stuff. Enochian Crescent see fit to fuck with our heads by giving things a strange, nearly frantic Grand Declaration Of War vibe, which is another album that caused me a great deal of grief.
The ripping opening track "Tatan" is a wickedly catchy, off-kilter blast of a tune which takes as much from Cannibal Corpse-ish rhythmic fretwork as it does from Mayhem-inspired velocity, leading into the whirling, compressed technicality of "Tango Absentino" which shows the first of many folk influences. The triplicate shouted 'HAIL!!!' (it could just be 'hey', hard to tell) of "Chalk Face" sounds inspired and uncontrived, a rarity in my opinion, aligning with the marching rhythms in a way that isn't banal or hackneyed. And then to fuck with me more, they get all Opeth with the gentle acoustic transition from the ruminating "Thousand Shadows", to the melancholic, graceful "Ghost Of Saturn". The pace quickens again with "The Imperfect Vision", before an ill-placed, unfocused midsection waylays the tune for a few moments, and never recovers despite a really cool, stiffly riffed crunch segue before concluding rather plainly. The feisty marching rhythms reemerge on "Hendekagrammaton", which is where the album really begins to lose me with one of its only flaws, the sometimes unrelated, uncoordinated songwriting.
While all that might sound appealing to some of you, now is where I get to the part which has frustrated me for a good month or two now about this disc. No matter how hard I try to push the image from my skull, this album brings to mind some characters from a movie featuring a princess with cinnamon buns stuck to the sides of her head, and a blond prissy dude swinging around a glowing stick that slices you in half, or evaporates you. No, don't think about outer space, or massive empires, but instead, think of small hooded creepy desert dwellers having a festival, or perhaps a band of demented, Satanic, drunken bearlike creatures jumping from tree to tree in the woods. That's what pops in my head. It sounds like trollish creatures celebrating a blood festival, cheerfully, and the Head Gnome is telling us all about it in a gravelly, misshapen voice I can't take remotely seriously. Don't ask me why, and I'm not saying it's bad because in fact it's immensely entertaining, but Black Church is, above all else, a fucking weird and unintentionally comedic album, that sounds sprightly when it isn't supposed to.
It's a shame how the songwriting loses a bit of steam as the disc goes on, relying more on the cohesion of the first 5 songs, with the remaining 4 somehow falling apart and losing direction. Some of the last tunes just leave ideas hanging in mid-air with no strong points, or peaks & valleys explored, to the detriment of the album as a whole. Perhaps that's where my discontent comes in, because while the intent is spirited enough, there are holes in the quality of the product overall, resulting in a grouchy, somewhat neutralized after effect. Walking away bloodied, dazed, and still slightly confused, my time spent with Enochian Crescent's latest is an experience I won't soon forget, try as I might. I'm glad it's over.

For New Albany, it is all about the defense, and it was that group that posted their second shutout of the year, leading the Bulldogs in their 14-0 win at Corinth on Friday.
"We tried to tell everyone coming into this season that we're going to rely on our defense and get what we can on offense, and that's exactly what we've done," head coach Ron Price said. "We've scored enough to get the win, and our defense has played lights out. We want to put 40 points on the board like we did last year, but as long as we're scoring more points than the other team, I'm happy with the win."
The defense was tested early on after a fumble by Riley Alef set the Warriors up at the New Albany 33 yard line. New Albany would hold them to a field goal attempt, which was missed from 43 yards out, and Spencer Day later connected with Josh Hardin in the second quarter to put the 'Dawgs up 6-0.
Corinth later missed another field goal with less than a minute before the half, and Day scored the Bulldogs' second touchdown on a six yard run at the 4:37 mark in the fourth quarter, and after hitting Riley Alef with the two point conversion, New Albany was up 14-0.
"That's a new position for me, playing fullback, but I enjoy it, and if it's helping out," Alef said of his offensive contribution. "I'll do it. It's fun getting the ball in your hands a little more, but the offense is going to pick it up by division time. We'll be ready."
"That's Riley's character and the senior class' character," Price added about the senior. "I'm so thankful that they all wear New Albany uniforms. Riley is dying to do everything he can for us, whether it be on defense or at tight end or fullback on offense, he's the type of kid that wants to help in any way possible. He puts the team first, and he wants to do whatever he can. We have a lot of kids like that, and that's why we've been successful so far this year."
Boston Newsome led the offense with 153 rushing yards on 25 carries, while Alef had 13 tackles, followed by Brady Barnes with 11 and Jay Robinson with 10.
"Our team starts with those guys, and they're doing an outstanding job," Price said of the defense. "It's a team effort; everyone is making big plays. I'm so proud of them, and it's been two weeks now with no points. That's hard to pay the kind we had last week that threw the ball every play, then come out tonight against a football team with good players at the skill positions, and our defensive team had a great effort tonight."
"Shutouts are always special, for the defense," Alef added. "When they don't score, we can't lose, and that's even better. Even if the offense is struggling, we're putting up shutouts, and there's nothing they can do. We can't lose."
The win makes New Albany 4-1 heading into their final non-division game against Cleveland next week. Both Alef and Price hope the critics have been silenced, as they have so far posted successful wins.
"People have downgraded us, called us the underdogs, but 4-1 says it right there, and I think my class passed last years with most wins in our high school careers, so that's a special one, too," Alef said.
"When you're a good football team, you expect good things to happen," Price said. "That's what these kids do. They don't doubt themselves or what we're doing, and they know sooner or later something big is going to happen. Like Spencer Day diving in across the pylon and the defense making big plays on third and fourth down. That's just the team we have this year."

I had a part time gig driving an old 65' halibut schooner a couple years ago for a biofuel research outfit. The company decided to retire the boat last year and asked me if I could think of anything that could be done with the vessel. The problem was that at 100 years old, she is too big for a sensible yacht conversion and too impractical for today's commercial fishing requirements.
She is however one of the oldest halibut schooners remaining from the North Pacific fleet - She has traditional Scandinavian lines and small offset aft wheelhouse that was designed to accommodate a stack of sailing dories on the stern. Here is a shot I took a couple years ago when we were preparing to do a test harvest for seaweed:
The idea I came up with was to use the historic boat as a floating transient farmers market. With a large hold and a huge amount of deck space, it seemed that she would be an ideal platform for dockside transactions of locally grown produce.
Back when the boat was built, small farms around the Puget Sound region transported their crops to market by boat. There were no roads back then--everything went by water. My idea is to re-establish the old trade routes between the waterfront communities along Puget Sound. The project is called "Farmboat". (You can see more about it at www.farmboat.org)
My eventual goal is to have three large historic workboats servicing about eighteen different ports along Puget Sound on a weekly basis. -- delivering CSA packages, offering local agricultural products and crafts as well as carrying adventure seeking travelers from port to port and maybe even hosting maritime music entertainment and cookouts on occasion.
I have been getting tons of volunteers signing up on the web site as well as people wanting CSA deliveries in their port towns. (CSA stand for "Community Supported Agriculture" - it's a an increasingly popular trend for local farms). Many of the ports love the idea because it can be a cool attraction for visitors as it supports local maritime history and sustainable farming. One of my objectives is to get some of the ports to agree to an annual "Floating Market Day" where we can invite many boats to join in selling foods and crafts.
Anyway, so there's my idea to save old work boats. What I am looking for are ideas, comments and suggestions as to how to make it a reality. I am just in the process of forming the organization, writing a business plan and securing funding.
P.S. Here is our new logo!

Rod Dibble plays piano nightly at this Lake Merritt bar, often with vocal accompaniment from local amateur cabaret crooners. Designed like an old saloon with relatively private diner-style booths (where you can order a burger, steak, or fries to go with your drinks), the Alley is characterized by its vintage clotheslines, pink and baby-blue restroom stalls (much cleaner than those at your average East Bay haunt), and the thousands of marquees and business cards stapled to its walls. In contrast to the swankier Kingmans Lucky Lounge across the street, the Alley stays true to its namesake, and the cluttered decor makes it seem homey.
Ahh... Au Coquelet, the welcoming Berkeley cafe where you can get a cup of coffee at the crack of dawn and come back after midnight for another cup with an Irish kick, indulge in a fresh fruit torte or any of the homemade desserts. No matter what time of day you opt to sit for a spell in the brick-walled Berkeley institution, the tables are sure to be dotted with people typing at laptops, thumbing through books, or just shooting the breeze.
You can dance, drink, and most definitely eat at this German-American restaurant and tavern, where the Wiener Schnitzel comes veggie-optional and live music fills the room every weekend. If the weather's nice, sit out on the cedar patio and sip on Belgium ale and other tasty beer offerings in bottle or on tap.
With its savory Vietnamese pork sandwiches and occasional pig roasts, the Chop Bar is a favorite neighborhood eatery in the warehouse district. The owners are adamant about locally sourcing their food, and they also offer drafts from several Bay Area breweries, including the beloved Linden Street.

Skills: Learns Static Grip, Energy Shield, Energy Absorption, Cleansing Shock
Although I originally intended my Soulstealer guide to be my last guide, after heavy analysis on Electrician's skills, as well as in-game tests, I have finally concluded that Electrician is one of the strongest heroes atm. He is one of the most reliable picks, and although I want to hide my knowledge of this hero's unknown strengths, it is in the best interest of the community to make them known.
Hucklecat's guide to Electrician is outdated and will not supply you with such vital, key information on Electrician.
Did you know that:
a) contrary to popular thought, Electrician is actually a decent farmer?
b) Energy absorption effectively costs no mana?
c) Electrician is actually a viable solo?
d) Electrician does more dmg/mana spent then any other hero?
If this has perked your interest, read on. I want you all to go abuse Electrician in everything from pub games to high-tier games by the time you have finished reading this guide.
Static Grip: The Electrician binds a target in a static grip, preventing them from moving, casting spells, attacking, or using items for a short time. The Electrician is dragged slowly toward the target.
Target: Hostile, organic unit
Type: Magic, Channeling
Range: 500
Radius: 250/300/350/400
Channeling time: 2.5/3.25/4/4.75 seconds
Mana cost: 100/110/120/130
Cooldown: 14 seconds
Applies static grip to target for channeling time or until spell is cancelled. Deals 30/40/50/60 damage per second to target AND ENEMY UNITS IN RADIUS while static grip is active on target. Static grip completely immobilizes the target and reveals them as well.
Notes: One of the strongest early game spells in the realm of HoN, static grip is a skill that is feared by any and all players. Besides acting as a simple disable, the synergies with Energy Absorption are strong as it acts as a chain for Energy Absorption. Furthermore, this skill damages enemy units in the radius of the gripped target. This is a often overlooked aspect of static grip, which is a shame, because Static Grip can be used to farm. It gets better though.
Electric Shield: The electrician uses electricity to create a shield around himself. The shield will negate a portion of incoming damage at the cost of the Electrician's mana.
Type: Toggle, Self-Buff
Mana cost: 20 at all levels
When active, applies Electric Shield to self.
Electric Shield causes 50% of damage taken to be subject to negation at the cost of 2/1.66/1.25/.75 Mana per point of damage.
Notes: Electric Shield makes Electrician virtually unkillable late game. Electric shield absorbs damage before any damage reduction takes place, meaning that armor will not reduce the amount of mana needed to absorb damage (AFAIK). Contrary to popular belief this skill is not completely identical to Medusa's mana shield in Dota.
Energy Absorption: The Electrician discharges energy around him. Nearby enemies are damaged and have their mana drained. For each enemy damaged, the Electrician absorbs some mana, and gets a boost to both magic and physical armor.
Target: Instant
Type: Magic
Radius: 300 at all levels
Mana cost: 75/100/125/150
Cooldown: 15 seconds at all levels
Damages enemies in radius for 75/100/125/150 damage, draining 3/6/9/12% of their maximum mana. Applies Energy absorption to self for 7 seconds. If the closest enemy to Electrician when Energy Absorption was cast is a creep, 3 initial charges are applied. If it was a hero, 5 initial charges are applied. Additional creeps grant 1 charge, heroes 3 charges.
Replenishes 15/20/25/30 mana per charge.
+0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8 armor/charge
+0.4/0.8/1.2/1.6 magic armor/charge
Notes: This skill, combined with static grip, is likely the strongest 2 skill combo in all of HoN. I want you, the reader, to listen very closely to what I am about to say.
Do you notice something odd about the mana/charge gained in relation to the mana cost of energy absorption?
You should. The mana/charge is exactly one fifth of the mana cost at all levels.
What does this mean? It means casting energy absorption and hitting exactly 3 creeps will cost you no mana. Any more then this, and you actually gain mana.
This means, that casting energy absorption and hitting a hero first will cost you no mana. If there are creeps/heroes in the 300 radius, again, you will actually gain mana.
Do you see where I am headed with this?
Energy absorption is essentially a nuke that does not cost mana.
Cleansing Shock: Electrician shocks a target unit, removing debuffs and increasing movement speed if it was an ally, or removing buffs and decreasing movement speed if it was an enemy.
Target: Any organic unit
Range: 600 at all levels
Mana cost: 50 at all levels
Cooldown: 16/14/12 seconds
When cast on ally: removes debuffs and increases movement speed by 30/40/50% decreasing to 0% over 5 seconds.
When cast on enemy: removes buffs and decreases movement speed by 40/60/80% decreasing to 0% over 5 seconds
Notes: A very handy ultimate, especially against certain heroes with strong buffs like Hammerstorm, Jereziah, Arachna, Madman and Predator. What is considered a buff or debuff is rather odd, for example, a hero with an active rune can be purged, while purging a poisoned ally or a stunned ally does nothing. Nevertheless, it is a strong spell both offensively and defensively.
Core Analysis: This is where we analyze hero-specific stuff like stat/stat gain and movespeed. Again, I want you to pay very close attention.
Electrician has excellent base stats, with a high base str (though rather avg if not less) for a str hero and absolutely freakish base int, only matched by demented shaman and torturer. His base agility isn't too great but agility is a relatively useless stat if your hero's primary attribute is not agility.
His stat gain is rather disappointing, with relatively low gains except in, ironically, agility, which again is rather useless. Because of how we play and build Electrician, though, you will see this is not a problem.
Electrician has rather high base damage even for a melee hero, and his base movespeed is average at 300. His base armor is rather mediocre.
Now this is where it gets interesting. The static grip + energy absorption combo does very good damage for its mana cost. Whether you cast energy absorption manually or shift-queue it is completely up to your own preference.
At level 2, the combo deals 150 damage, for 100 mana or less.
At level 3/4, 205/230 damage, for 110 mana or less
At level 5, 300 damage, for 120 mana or less
At level 7/8/9, 385/410/435 damage, for 130 mana or less.
I think you can see where I am going with this. Not only does Electrician deal the best damage/mana cost, but the enemy is disabled while he is at it. There is no hero that can even come close to the early game-dominance that is Electrician. That might be an overstatement, but not really. He is incredibly powerful in lane with many, many heroes, and the dmg/mana cost of his combo allows him to even handle solo lanes with relative ease. He is a very strong ganker throughout the game, and Electric shield keeps his viability up as the game drags on.
People occasionally say Electrician is weak in team battles. I say, when you have ganked the other team 10 times before the first team battle, it doesn't matter.
Skill build:
1: Static Grip
2: Energy Absorption
3: Static Grip
4: Energy Absorption
5: Static Grip
6: Cleaning Shock
7: Static Grip (maxed out)
8: Energy Absorption
9: Energy Absorption (maxed out)
10: Electric Shield
11: Cleansing Shock
12-14: Electric Shield (maxed out)
15: Stats
16: Cleansing Shock (maxed out)
17-25: Stats
Explanation: This is, believe me, the one and only skill build you will EVER need on Electrician. Static Grip and Energy Absorption are taken ASAP due to their extremely strong presence early game. Cleansing Shock scales reasonably and should be taken whenever possible, being a very strong defensive and offensive skill.
Some people might like to delay Electric shield until later, like level 17-20. You don't have to wait this long to skill Electric Shield unless you can't farm with Electrician. I will teach you to farm with Electrician.
Item build: The goal of this build is rather simple. It will focus on Electrician's laning/ganking prowess early/mid game, and his incredible tanking abilities late game. Rather pub or higher-tier game, item build is not going to change.
- 2x Fortified Bracers (optional, 510 g each)
- Wards (optional, applies if you are roaming, 200 g each)
- Courier (optional, applies if your allies don't get one, 200 g each)
- Bottle (optional, 600 g)
- Plated Greaves
- Shaman's Headdress (optional, applies if other team has many nukes, 2250 g)
- Helm of the Black Legion (optional, applies if you want to tank early and enemy team is somewhat reliant on physical dps early, 2225 g)
- Portal key (optional, 2150 g)
- Frostfield Plate (4700 g)
Start off with minor stat items, as well as some runes of blight + mana pots. If your team does not have a courier I would highly recommend buying one. You will want it for bottle ASAP.
Because Electrician does not have particularly high str gain or base str for a str hero, I suggest reinforcing his stats with 2x fortified bracers. Talisman of Exile is not necessary. Electrician's base int and low mana cost on his combo is more then enough mana. I have gotten away without boosting Electrician's stats early on though, so it isn't completely necessary.
Electrician is one of the most feared gankers in a capable player's hands. Gankers love bottle. The scary thing is, is that Electrician is actually such a strong ganker that he can even do fine without bottle! Nevertheless, you can't go wrong with bottle, especially if you are soloing mid or roaming. Not going bottle, though, is not going to cost you the game. For its low cost though, I highly recommend it
Shaman's Headdress is an item I initially overlooked, it is strong all game and I recommend getting it after bottle if the other team has plenty of nukers. The benefits of magic armor and hp regen are not to be overlooked. You will probably be getting this item 90% of the time in higher-tier games, though this guide caters to all levels of play so I will leave it as optional. Full credits to Evo_shamoke for pointing this out.
Plated Greaves provide superior ms to steamboots, while providing a very strong pushing active throughout the game. They are the footwear of choice for electrician.
Portal key is a possible luxury that provides a rather generous element of surprise, with strong uses both offensively and defensively. It is not necessary whatsoever, but should be considered in any practical scenerio.
Frostfield plate gives a significant boost to your survivability, via both armor and Electric Shield, and furthermore, is the link that will turn Electrician into a capable farmer.
How to farm with Electrician: Cast static grip on a creep, preferably one in the middle of the others. Chain with Frostfield plate, followed by energy absorption. Viola! 635 AoE magic damage , at very likely no mana cost. Remember that Frostfield plate has a cooldown of 30 seconds. Don't nuke down a lane when you anticipate needing the aoe slow in the very near future.
There are a couple reasons why Frostfield plate is superior to Sacrifical heart on Electrician.
1: Frostfield plate makes farming with Electrician ALOT easier then farming without it. There is a very big difference between dealing 635 aoe damage and dealing 435 aoe damage when it comes to clearing waves of creeps.
2: Sac stone effectively makes Elec a tank, and that is absolutely it. He is one of the highest ehp heroes with electric shield, but he is very rarely going to be one of the first to die in a team fight. As such, the +hp on death is hardly beneficial to allies. The mana regen is nice, but when you are losing half of your total charges upon death, I don't find it ideal. Electrician may be a hard hero to kill, but he's not some immortal god who can get through a game with 10+ charges on his sac stone consistently.
Luxury items: With Electrician's farming reinforced via Frostfield Plate, you can proceed to farm the next logical item, which is none other then Behemoth's Heart (5500 g). In situations where disables are needed, feel free to build Totem of Kuldra (5675 g). If you feel like doing some of your own dps, build Frostwolf Skull (6650 g). Note that these items all of one thing in common, they will all help you tank.
Laning: Electrician is the most flexible hero during the laning phase, case closed. You can roam. You can lane with devestating combos like Swiftblade or Torturer. You can even solo if need be. There is only one thing you have to remember. Electrician does the most damage/mana for his spell combo. I will drill this into your head until your brain bleeds. His high base int further reinforces his terrifying early game. You have absolutely every right to be as aggresive as you want. I cannot remember the last time I was outlaned as Electrician. Keep the pressure up. Give the enemy no breathing space. Feel free to gank other lanes as well.
Ganking: This is fun. Electrician will initiate most ganks. If you can get in range to static grip, do so. If not, cast cleansing shock on yourself and rush the target to grip him. Chain with energy absorption and cast cleansing shock as required. Keep an eye on the cooldown of both energy absorption and Static grip. I have been able to use both spells twice in a gank on more then one occasion.
Team fights: Pretty similar to ganking, except that by now you probably have levels in Electric Shield as well. Have Shield on before the fight begins, and follow your initiating hero (Hellbringer, Kraken, Tree, Legionaire etc).
Cast Static Grip on a key hero, and do your best to hit as many targets with energy absorption as you can. Note that this is probably the only time you don't want to immediately chain grip with energy absorption. Energy Absorption has a 300 AoE so do your best to make use of that. Don't forget to cast Frostfield Plate too. As the dust clears, finish off survivers with cleansing shock and static grip, or help your own teammates flee using the same techniques. As an Electrician, you will always be the last man standing.
Other: Some people are not sure as to when they should activate electric shield with regards to invested levels. Personally, I find that the skill consumes too much mana at level 1 and 2 to be useful. By level 3 and 4, though, it is a strong asset and you should basically always leave it on.
Don't forget Cleansing shock can be used on allies. I have saved many allies and chased down many enemy heroes from a whole screen away through this use of cleansing shock. The self-cleansing shock + static grip + energy absorption combo is a technique that you will want to master.
And so we come to the end of my fourth guide. I really did not want to write this, it is 2 AM currently but I will not get a chance to write again so here I am. If it means anything to you, the reader, know that I am more confident about this guide and its content that any of my other guides.
As I said earlier, I want you to go out and abuse Electrician. Abuse his low mana cost/dmg ratio combo. Abuse his farming ability that so many people are oblivious to. Abuse his ability to completely terrify the other team for the first 30 minutes of the game at the very least.
So that is it. I need to go sleep now.

Nice, though i wouldnt regard Energy Absorbtion as a nuke when its max is 150 :P
Tis indeed a great hero.
Though Purge should remove Cursed Ground ><
I haven't read it yet but you should make the font smaller imo, because it's hard to read if it's so big, atleast for me, it gets on the eyes .
I'll check it out later if you can make it easier on the eyes since Electrician is a very good and fun hero.
Another n1 guide, thank you for putting these up, they help me very much and I like to thank you for it.
sacrificial stone helps a lot since mana also contribute to your survivalbility.
I tend to level Cleansing Shock 2 and 3 after Mana Shield 4, and I find stormspirit is useful as you can use it on a fleeing hero, and grip shortly afterwards thanks to the low cooldown time in addition to giving you a ton of INT.
But I agree with almost everything you've written there.
Great guide. Any tips on efficiently shocking yourself? I find that for example when running away, to shock myself I have to stop, cast it on my guy, and then go - which usually doesn't translate into an advantage of distance because of the stop (ie you're the last one to leave and you got a whole team after you; no use in gripping).
A clan for people with manners
([LC] The Legion Civilized)
[Vadi UI Mod]: better buff/debuff indicators (w/ time)
all mods are 0.1.51 compatible
can you code? honkit
I find shocking yourself a great way to initiate ganks:
Mana sheild -> Shock yourself -> run in -> grip -> team rapes -> energy -> continue to rape any other heroes unlucky enough to be near.
It is also useful to cast on a more squishy hero when running away from a gank as you are more likely to survive thanks to strength + shield.
I found the other day that Electrician + Armadon is quite an insane AoE Damage + chasing combo. Me and my friend who was electrician got ganked by Thunderbringer, Madman and Demented Shaman around mid game.
He grip'd Thunder while i constantly used quill spray and attacked. We killed thunder and demented. Madman was out of mana (yay Energy absorption) so I snotted him while my friend shocked me (combined with my ulti I was very fast) and I killed him.
I've yet to figure out How you actually gain mana from your e-absorbtion charges. Do you need to get hit to gain the mana or does it happen automatically?
Yep, use it before you move into their LoS. It's meant to give that little extra oomph to you so you can catch those with Posthaste, or movement buffs. A purged Electrician can essentially show up and close to grip range on anyone, if you toss it up right before you charge in to initiate.
Yep, it is instant. This is one of my most played heroes, so I'm positive.
Also, great guide. Been playing him almost exactly this way already. One point to keep in mind; this is mainly a guide for inhouse/competitive play. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I've gone Codex/Sacstone in pubs before, which tends to work (against pubs).
You forgot about the Puzzle Box (Necronomicon) wich is a great item if u can farm it fast enough, wich can be hard ofcourse since he is a roamer and melee.
K reply time:
@ Tyrando: Energy Absorption effectively costs no mana. You can use it to last hit creeps. You can terrify the **** of the other team with static grip+ energy absorption from as early as level 2. Abuse it please.
@ saiyan: thanks for the font note somehow I didn't notice this was one font larger then my other guides. Fixed.
@ zimz:imo null stone is far too inconsistent to be used on Electrician, furthermore it is expensive and not worth the cost. I rarely buy null stone on any hero, in fact tbh I haven't bought null stone once since I started playing HoN.
@ le3t: omg sup man. Long time no see. This is TinyBlackTears ^_^. Anyways, I really think pers is unnecessary for Electrician due to low mana cost combos and bottle. Sacrificial stone basically has one aspect of it that is useful on Electrician, and that is to tank. That is essentially all. Frostfield plate helps you tank, helps you farm, and helps you kill. After extensive playtesting on both items there is no doubt in my mind that frostfield plate is vastly superior. We gotta play some time
@ Voldo: The scaling in cleansing shock, both in respect to cooldown and effects, makes it worth taking at 6/11/16 imo. I admit that I am a somewhat traditional player, as as such am not a huge fan of euls/storm spirit. While it is certainly useful, Frostfield plate is just so good on Electrician that I would like to prioritize it over any other core items. If you've had success with storm spirit though, by all means stick with it.
@ the rest: Thanks for reading and your comments guys. Much appreciated.

good guide
this is my favourite class.. if you're pretty smart you don't even need to buy expensive recipies for a long time... just keep your mana up, team with someone with a nuke/slow and have fun with the static gripe!
win combo!: absorb, grip, cleansing, absorb + attack

LL Cool J talks Grammys performance
For this year's Grammy Awards, expect the focus to be on the nominees.
"We did what we had to do for Whitney in a respectful and loving way," LL Cool J told CNN of the 2012 ceremony on the red carpet. "And this year it's about these nominees here tonight and the superstars and legends who are in the building."
That includes Justin Timberlake, who's making a splashy return to the Grammys stage, potentially with Jay-Z to perform their song "Suit & Tie." But according to Grammys host LL, Timberlake was spotted performing by himself in rehearsal.
Yet the night will also bring a performance from the rap legend himself, as he'll take the stage with Travis Barker, Chuck D and Tom Morello.
"We're doing a new song off my album," LL said. After riding the bench for five years, he joked, he's getting back in the game.
You shouldn't expect anything less than tasteful from their costumes, however, as LL is in full support of CBS' wardrobe advisory.
"All the hottest clubs have dress codes," he said. "People are going to wear what makes them feel great, what makes them feel sexy. This isn't the Vegas version, we know what [musicians] do in Vegas and we know what you do on the road, [but] families watch this, too. I think it's fair to remind all of us."
