Finished our second raid night of 10 man's last night with the new guild of new raiders plus us "experienced" five. Went 4/4 DH and 2/4 GP ... not too bad for having 5 players new to raiding they did pretty good. Will have to spend some time gearing them up before we can even think of looking at the new 10 man but hey, as long as I get in in the next month or two that will be fine. Still a buttload of stuff to play around with in the new Ember Isle.
I notice it is quite the chore to get 100 inscribed sourcestone for each lesser when I have to do it for 5 times on my rouge essence. That is a lot of invasions!
Great work Sorden.
Depending on how your Guild grow, a couple months to get into the new 10 man may be ambitious. As you know we have been farming DH/GP for months and do both in 90 mins total, we also dip into GSB at times. Needless to say most of us are pretty much fully raid geared and we got stomped in the new 10 man. Our DPS was not enough which means those with just a couple items a touch less than raid T1 need to get them replaced. That said, the first attempt always seems impossible, more so due to the fact we had no idea what to expect and no guides to use. I would certainly suggest that when you are completing DH/GP regularly in a night with time to spare that you poke your head in after doing either one or both those raids. We popped in for an hour after doing DH, and the fact we failed miserably was a lot less depressing due to having had a successful run prior to it. Then you've had a taste f it, seen where shortcomings are and can focus on them As for the sourcestones, well the new essences are not a huge upgrade so I would not break a sweat for them. I have 2 new ones for my universal tank sigil. I still have 200 stones left. But if you think it is a slog for you, think about us poor tanks. I have a tank sigil which needs updating, my DPS sigil also needs updating (currently full of the 50 sourcestone essences) becasue I need it for soloing and the times I am not tanking (rare but it's nice to take a break and give others needed practice). As if that doesn't sound expensive enough, I have an earth resist sigil full of 50 sourcestone essences (though I won't bother updating this as currently only GP needs it and is easy). I have a life resist essence which currently has the 50 and 20 sourcestone resist essences but then just random essences for life resist. I won't bother with the 100 essences but the 50 ones I would like to fill it. My Death resist is the same as my life. I hae not started on a Water resist yet and as the new zone is fire I need to start on one of them and ideally would like to max its resist (which is going to be 400+ stones) even if I go for the cheaper option essences for each set I am looking at 270 stones a pop. So in summary, 600 for tanking, 600 for DPS, 270 for Water, 270 Fire, 200 Life, 200 Death. SO, 2140 sourcestones required. Hopefully that makes you feel a bit better about your Rogue stone grind |
Holy shit, that is massive. I get grief because I don't have one set up for rogue tanking ... problem is I don't really want to rogue tank but they keep giving me rogue tanking gear in a nefarious scheme to make me do it! I might just make an engine for tanking from the 50 sourcestone lessers for now and practice in some t2's to get the hang of rogue tanking. It looks to be a little easier than before, I know the changes to RS soul helped out my solo build quite a bit for taking damage.
You're right, it will be months before we can kill anything in the new 10 man, but I would at least like to be attempting it once we can farm DH and GP in one night. We are in the low teens for raiders now and growing slowly so hopefully we'll get to attempt GSB and ROS in a few weeks. I'm just glad our semi-merger is working. Both groups are pretty laid back about it with them providing the guild leader and officer corps and we providing raid leader and experience. The guys I came over with all have good personalities that are tolerant of mistakes and such so the new raiders can progress without a fear of failure ... well maybe a little fear as that is conducive to learning! |
Yeah, not really caring about failure really makes raiding easy and a lot more fun. We would probably be a lot better if we did not spend all our time polluting the airwaves with jokes and mindless chatter during fights
Rogue tanking is actually a lot of fun, I have a 50 Rogue alt that is running T2s to gear up and I tank with him. Staying alive seems easy enough and aggro lockdown occurs pretty much on pull. Only downside is I can't make a DPS Tank like I have with my Warrior due to Guardian Phase reducing damage. As a temporary stop gap, you can usually make an ok essence without using sourcestones - especially if you still have any of the currencies from prvious events as there is usually an endurance essence from each of those. Failing that, I bought 6 essences on the AH for no more than 2plat each, all of which gave 9 or 10 end and either Str or Dex - Obviously Dex and End is nice so I keep an eye out for them, but as a first tank sigil I settled for anything with decent endurance. I actually use the 17 Bladedancer/41 RS/8 Ranger for tanking. I lose out on hp by missing 10 points in RS, but I gain a spam AOE attack which is perfect for aggro and a bit of damage, an AOE finisher for more aggro and damage, a 5% Dodge Finisher, 5% Dodge talent, 15% Dex (more Dodge and also Deflection) and 10% damage reduction after Dodging (as well as 10% damage increase). Sadly my Guild still can't reliably put 20 people together, usually about 16. It doesn't help that we just lost 2 members. They were pretty good players but one was clearly quite the drama queen and was causing friction so had to go, meanwhile the other was his brother so obviously he left too. |
Just felt the urge to give an update on our raiding. Last night we finally finished GSB, it's taken us a long time, mainly due to struggling to get 20 together, but it still took us 4? 5? Tries to get all the bosses down.
We actually lacked a few people and ended up PUGing 6 people, but the night ran well, in fact it went very well. Boss 1-4 all killed without a raid wipe. Lord Greenscale, the fat little bugger survived on 1% health our first attempt! After our one wipe against him, we then downed him on second attempt. So it was a great night and a lot of fun. The PUG guys were very good to and seemed to have a lot of fun with us - they couldn't believe how laid back and noisy we are during raids talking about any old crap while getting down to business. So, they wanted to be added to our list of priority PUGers for future raids. As an added bonus, I didn't even know Greenscale drops a gold item, so it was nice to see something that was a significant upgrade drop. Luckily one of our Guildies won it (we were rolling for all loot due to having the PUGs rather than our usual loot point list). I think in future I will leave loot as free for all but make it clear at the beginning that the gold item that drops will be bought by Guildies via our raid point system. Seems fair to me as we make up most of the raid and lead it, not to mention the PUG guys made out like bandits with the other loot as most of us didn't need the drops! As far as I know some Guilds that grab PUGs don't let the PUGGers have loot rights at all! ------------------------------- We stuck our heads in ROS after GSB just to kill a bit of trash and stretch our legs against a foci. The FOci got the better of us on the 3 atempts we had, but then we were down to 14 people by that point and having never been there before we were adjusting to the tactics on the fly. We managed to survive the first ad spawn, the debuff on a player and DPS burn down the mini Foci that spawns. |
Grats on the GSB completion.
We can go 4/4 DH and 3/4 GP with the new guys in one 3 hour night. Getting better as they get some gear and experience they die or mess up less often. Maybe in a month we will be ready to try the new 10 man since we are really only gearing 5 people. In the mean time I saw a HK raid pug opportunity and I might have to consider hopping in one, or at least as a GSB puggy. I had totally spaced buying a bunch of endurance lessers to use until I buy the better lessers. I have a bard engine like that with crystal vine and deep one tear whatever it is and it works fine for barding it. If I can pick up 50 endurance in lessers that would help quite a bit. Use any greaters in the tanking engine? |
Best way I've done the foci is two tanks and a HUGE melee pile. Divide the area around the foci into thirds, two for the tank one for the stack. Tank alternates as he sees fit to reduce damage from the AOE. Second tank stands 15-20yd directly behind the melee pile. When adds spawn the add tank will run into the pile and use aoe threat gen (NOT TAUNT), then back out. The buffed player runs through as many mobs as they can in a 4sec window then laterally away from the raid. ALL other players dps the mini-focus.
Wash, rinse, repeat. A done up raid should only have to kill two adds - three is more typical. |
I don't use any greater essences for tanking as the stats from lesser are far superior.
--------------- Good to know about the foci, we had 2 tanks but had what was left of our raid standing far back, getting close sounds a plan. I'd also like to thank Glassy on the advice for Lord Greenscale - in particular the Spellbreaker trick when running with the lurgy. It made life much easier, and before phase 4 started I cleansed myself one last time and then let the stacks build so that I could destroy the plants right to the end. (The first time when we wiped I had cleansed after phase 4 began and the debuff never came back). Having 200 Death Resist certainly made things easier too. Have to admit, we ignored the Pollen in the end and just DPS'd the hell out of Greenscale. The Bracken a few Rogues took out. Now that we have DH, GP and GSB complete we will have to start working on ROS, it would be great to have all the T1 raids completed, quite an accomplishment for our rag tag group. Hopefully with our loyal PUG extras we can more reliably get 20 together. I would also like to start doing GSB on a Thursday and then ROS on Sundays if we can get teh numbers regularly - essentially taking DH/GP out of our raiding rotation (which will then be done addhoc during the week if anone fancies it). ----- Proper raiding aside, Monday is going to be a fun time - 6 of us plan on going into DH to see how far we can get, Rage Timer will be our nemesis, but it will be fun trying. If it goes badly we will add a 7th in (particularly 2 tank fights) |

If it goes badly we will add a 7th in (particularly 2 tank fights) We were able to 8 man it before the original guild fell apart. Sure made it interesting again as it is getting rather boring now, mostly I just try to see how much of a lead over the other dps I can get. :{ |
Yeah we want to try 6 because...well, to be honest, with some of the members we were carrying at times we already have essentially 8 man'd it (we had a cleric 51 Inq who was doing 223 DPS....I do more as a tank)
Oddly, despite having farmed the hell out of DH and GP I still enjoy them. It's probably because we have such a laugh doing it - with all the banter and teasing it makes things more entertaining, and the fact we run through each one in the time it takes to do a T2 dungeon (Which I even still enjoy them for the same reason) makes it a good bit of fun on a Thursday night to get together. As I described our GSB raid the other day - for us it's more like picking a venue for a party than actually going somewhere to raid Course, having said all that, I will be dragging my Rogue alt to the DH/GP raids now simply because the raids are a bit more exciting when phat lewtz can come your way. With all our Rogues pretty much geared up it means the stuff that drops will likely go to my alt even though he will always be bottom of the priority list. I'll still do GSB with my main though in case a nice gold item drops from Greenscale! |
I've thought about bringing my cleric on DH/GP runs since my rogue is geared out from them pretty much. There is still a belt I could use and the mark pants so I will get those while gearing the cleric up. The cleric is at 1200 SP now but could use a couple more lessers and some plaque gear to get a little bit more SP.
Apologies for the necro of a rather dead thread. Don't even know if anyone here still plays, but just wanted to proudly announce that on Tuesday night my Guild had its first serious attempt at Rise of the Phoenix. It was a lot of fun and we managed to kill the first 2 bosses and the 3 mini bosses (a small achievement to many I am sure). By the time we got to third boss we did not have much time left which is a shame because we started to get the hang of him quite nicely - very cleanse intensive!!
Looks like DH/GP can finally be removed from our rotation! THurs will be RotP from now on and Sundays will be GSB/ROS (mostly ROS as we are only 2/5 there whereas GSB is complete) DH and GP will now be a random night if 10 people happen to be on and interested |
Nice, grats man.
We have been wallowing a little trying to have 10 decent people on in guild who can do DH/GP. My wife bought me SWTOR as an early xmas present so I have been distracted to that for now. Still like Rift for my fantasy fix and raiding, like SWTOR for my sci fi fix. I miss my days in Anarchy Online and EVE so this is nice. I'll see what the end game is like to see if it's raiding can compare to what Rift has. |
Sorry to hear that. We now tend to have a pool of about 13-15 people for raids so 10 mans are easy enough.
Last night we returned to RotP and spent most the evening banging our head against a wall - Boss number 3 is a pain. Aside from the fact people were slopping and failing miserably to cope with the mechanics (which really aren't that hard) the big issue is I believe we need about 12k raid DPS which is a struggle for T1 raid geared team especially as one of the 10 members must be a dedicated full time cleanser |
So I got a text from an old Warcraft friend who had followed a few of us over to Rift after at games launch. We were on the Estrael RP server and I had pretty much stopped playing about 30 days after launch, having gone back to Warcraft plus playing SWTOR.
Anyway, my friend wanted control of our guild, because she had really cultivated it and had a few dozen regular players. To make a long story short, I logged in to the game and was notified that about 10 servers were becoming trial only servers (Estrael included) and people were leaving in droves. Kind of sad to see, since once I logged back in (I let my 6 month sub renew by mistake) I saw a lot of new content, a new wardrobe feature and generally always wanted to see the game do well. Needless to say I gave her control (seems you can appoint multiple people as guild leader.. aka a council?) and am tempted to come back, time being the only limiting factor. So whats the story on the game, is it a sinking ship or might it have a recovery? |
Ok, so I was thinking about maybe resubbing to see how this game has aged. I had a blast with the game when I first played it, but other games came along that stole me away from it. Is anyone else still playing this, and if so how is the population?
I'm really surprised this game wasn't able to keep the explosion of popularity that it first started with. |
I'm not sure on exact numbers but the story is sort of as follows.
Rift when it was pitched to the money men was done so with the idea of having 17 or servers worth of people with some number of subscribers based on that. This would keep them in the black, and would allow them plenty of money to repay debts and continue to advance the story and even slowly expand staff. The idea was to slowly grow the game from that and add a few servers here and there as the population continued a slow but steady growth or even if it stayed stable. When it was released it had a HUGE influx of people, I think close to 70-100 servers worth of people. The developers freaked out and created enough servers to handle all of those people. Over the next 6 months or so the population crashed hard, compared to that influx, and they dropped down to... 17 or so servers worth of people. They pulled in 100 Million dollars during 2011, and are proftiable. Recent numbers suggest they are starting to slowly grow and the game is most certainly a success from what they wanted it to be before they opened the doors and let people in. However doom and gloomers note that they are down to 1/4th numbers from peak, but the numbers are more then enough to keep the game profitable and are showing good signs. The money guys recently extended their line of credit by investing 85 million more into the company based on money made in 2011 as well as current population trends. |
Interesting. So it still has a pretty strong population?
Seems like they've been pretty on the ball with new content releases and whatnot. |
Mortus wrote: Interesting. So it still has a pretty strong population? Seems like they've been pretty on the ball with new content releases and whatnot. Now that they've crunched the populations down into the right number of servers it seems pretty good on numbers. I play on Faeblight, the last officially "open" RP server and both sides seem pretty full in their capitals and doing things like grouping for DRRs and the like. I think Faeblight even had it's first Que in months the other night of like 10 people. |
I am also on Faeblight now and the numbers seem to have stabilized. I think the problem with Rift is that most people that went to the game at launch were - for whatever reason - looking for something different but found that it is really a WoW clone... a good clone... but a clone nonetheless.
It is kind of an unfair label since nearly any fantasy genre MMO is at some level a clone. Anyway after going back and taking a look I have to say the art style is really well done. The mounts for instance really look epic in a way that Warcraft fails at. The gear looks unique and their is a different story there if people give it a chance. I probably will not end up staying, but I do hope the game does well, Trion seem like the anti-Blizzard and you want to pull for them. |
The Ars guilds crashed and burned around the time the population really started contracting (late October). This was not too long after Trion introduced their very nonrestrictive server transfer program.
The game was never really all *that* popular here to begin with, so maintaining a critical mass was getting tough. We had already transferred servers once, so instead we absorbed/merged with another guild to try and shore up our numbers. Those guys disappeared onto a new server about two weeks after that and that's how the story is so far. Our old guild website has gone dark, etc. I still maintain that while having transfers available is a Good Thing, especially for free *ahem Blizzard*, that it was introduced maybe a bit prematurely or should have had a fairly long "cooldown" per se. It seemed like for quite some time, server populations were extremely fluid and the sense of community at that micro server/server group level was completely shot. Above all else, RIFT is really where I fully embraced the meta-game behind the EQ or WoW-like style of MMO, so I'd personally want to jump right back onto the progression treadmill (as opposed to whatever sandboxy elements they might have added) but I also don't want to do that stuff with a group of total strangers either. Now that the dust has apparently settled, I've also been somewhat interested in taking a peek at things again. Hell, who am I kidding, the embers of my interest in Rift never really went cold. If we could get the Ars crew back on board I would be so there. I think SWTOR has something to say about that, though. What's funny is that Rift does this style of MMO soooooo much better than SWTOR, but far more Ars players made the initial leap to TOR that population won't be a concern there for quite some time, I think. Anyway, I'm not sure I'd last too long in an attempted return to Rift without a full guild of Ars buddies along with me... One element that always disappointed me with Rift was the frequency that mobs and equipment were just palette swaps at all levels of the game. I realize this helps them push out "content" at a breakneck pace but with that quickness came an impression of "cheapness" from me, if you will. I'm curious if the new continent and whatnot is "more of the same" in that copy/paste vein or if there are some more unique assets introduced. My sub actually relapsed for 6 months when the crap hit the fan so I still have a bit of time left on it... Might take a peek one bored weekend when I put the lightsaber down.. |
I play both, and Rift is a far far better MMO then TOR. Tor however has a more engageing single player story line and would be pretty much the same game if it were a single player game. The MMO parts of TOR very much have a tacked on feel for me. Ember Island is nice, I mean some of the monsters are new, some are reskins. Everything is much stronger. Come 1.7 they are really doing a good job at smoothing out the gear progression where every step gives a bigger boost. The top end stays the same, but every step you take to get there gets you closer then before the patch.
They are also much more flexible in that everything you might want to do gives pretty nice rewards and has a viable upgrade path for your character. |
I plan on heading back once I hit 50 in TOR and try that for a bit. Was doing raiding in Rift but I get limited on time during the Winter and early Spring with some high school sports I work with. About Summer time I am sure I will be Rifting again, or at least doing both games more balanced.
I am in a progressing guardian guild on Deepwood if anyone is interested. Decent group, moving in 12 and 24 man's, cleared DH, GP, GSB, most of ROS and looking to HK once enough are geared. ... and now back to my Sage ... |
How are they doing with class balance?
With Blizzard backpedaling from talent trees as quick as they can manage, has Trion kept a handle on their much more complex ones? |
In terms of the games popularity, well before TOR came out it was 2nd most popular MMO in the west (no guess which was first). The reduction of servers was predictable, every game has to release with too many servers or face ridiculous queue times to get in. Obviously naysayers immediately started proclaiming its death. But the game is healthy with new content arriving all the time (more or less each month).
They recently did a revisit to the content (T1 and T2 dungeons) adjusting T1 difficulty to match T2 and removing T1 enitrely - this has opened up older content many have not touched in months. In addition to this they have added 2 Master dungeons now which are longer and tougher than T2s. The ultimate goal here was to move with the times and keep content viable (as the game and gear progreses, the need for T1 dungeons was eliminated). Of course these changes are just for things to do when not raiding. Update 1.8 will be coming next and will have another 20 man Raid zone (the first T2 10 man raid zone was released last patch). Lucky for my Guild we still have plenty of content to do, we have finished DH, GP, GSB, RotP, and last night went into RoS and cleared it followed by poking our heads into HK and killing the first boss there. So the next raid zone will be out before we are anywhere close to finishing HK. --------------------- Class balance PvP wise continues to be a saga, though what is fact and what's fiction is anyones guess - forums are full of posts complaining about X class and Y class being useful while others say they are overpowered. PvE wise things are looking good, Cleric DPS is now much closer to other classes now with the Shaman getting updated. The Druid soul is being revamped for patch 1.8 so it should be interesting too. Cleric tank is currently the unloved step child but I think patch 1.8 is revisiting them Warriors seem to be king of the tanks, some will say that's as it should be, others will argue otherwise. But as the only class who has neither support nor healing it's hard to be surprised they get something good. Rogues are in good shape, while not as good a tank as the Warrior, they are very viable tanks and some Guilds use them exclusively as their raid tanks so no issue there. DPS wise, the latest patch has brought more variation for top end builds. I believe the Ranger is now back in the game for those that like it, also there are more melee builds available all within spitting distance damage wise. Bards are still essential for raids but I think still need some looking at as they lack excitement - though even with Bards there are about 3 or 4 variations of the 51 build which are all useful. Mages are still gods PvE wise balance has not been as big an issue as 'one build to rule them all' has been for each class. Trion have been making an effort to try and provide more variation in end game builds. It's a work in progress, but it's an interesting ride. Rather than just say 'these X builds now do equal damage' they have tried to take the strengths of certain builds and develop them - Inquisitor is no longer the highest DPS in the Cleric souls but it is still high and offers utility such as purge and debuffs, so while the Shaman is the best DPS, the Iinquisitor is still vey popular and viable |

I am pulling HARD for SWTOR to do well and I really do like the deep story immersion. However I do think that a Star Wars MMO that was more traditional and "Rift of WoW" like might be a better game. I am personally taking my time in SWTOR but am concerned that I will hit a wall at 50. Remove the SWTOR story lines and it is one of the weaker MMO's in terms of mechanics and content. That might be unfair to say and I think Bioware deserves credit and praise for trying to break the mold, but the jury is still out on the long term. With that said I still maintain that 24 months from now SWTOR could be the best MMO on the planet as the potential is enormous. Unfortunately potential unrealized is worth squat. |
BTW did not see anyone mention this, but with 1.7 Rift is now free from levels 1-20. Both new and returning players are eligible.
I resubbed. Moved servers, but will probably move again based on what my friends want to do. Working on getting pvp ranks now. Currently rank 11, which means by next weekend, I should have my entire T1 set. sweet.
I played at launch and also mid-summer last year. I came back for the Lite version last week and just to see the changes. The game is very stable now. i'm glad that the servers have shrunk down. it seems that the community is tight and a few more mature people than other games. I actually didn't last long on the Lite version and gave them my money for a month. I'm excited and hope Rift will continue to be that indie "other" choice to the other big MMO's.
Nice, maybe I will redownload it.
How's the server population on Silkweb now? |
Went back over the weekend to check out Rift again and must admit I am having a blast, both in terms of leveling and PvP. They added a new battleground called Library of the Rune Master that is interesting... I have no idea what I am supposed to do in terms of objectives, but the killing is plentiful
I really dig the art style but was bummed to see so many servers being closed. |

Library of the Rune Master is like Black Garden, but with multiple flags. Basically the stars that you see on your mini map are the flags. If they are red or blue they are owned by somebody from the team in question, if they are grey they are open for capture. When you capture them you get 3 points every so often added to your score, but they damage the person carrying them. If you are close to another person from your team that has the flag you both take extra damage. Killing the other teams flag carriers will cause the flags to respawn after a few seconds. At the start of the game there are 4 but by the end of the game there are 6 flags on the field. I'm not sure if it increases past that as by the time 6 show up the game is normally almost over unless people are just refusing to hold on to the flags for long. I have to say it's one of the better WF's around. |
So the ars guild is gone?
I heard that the game is still like the 2nd most played western MMO right now. I may have to give it another peek.
elty wrote: So the ars guild is gone? Yeah a while ago. I cancelled the domain about a month or so ago. |
I guess I am not going to resub then. It was nice to have a guild without major searching.

For what it is worth, I am glad I came back and am finding myself having more fun than I have had in some time. The PvP is borderline great, the content is strong (at least for someone who has not yet maxed out a character) and I cannot say enough good things about Trion as they are improving the game at a grand pace. The said thing is I am betting a lot of people who left, wont come back and see the improvements but they are missing out. It is definitely worth the $10 a month. |

agreed. Rift is strong and they have improved it sooo much since i first subbed last summer. Trion listens to its customers for the most part. hope it continues.
I for one have been enjoying the game since Beta, but certainly agree it is in its best state ever. The recent changes to gear, expert dungeons, master dungeons etc. has made far less of a grind to get your char ready for raiding and the changes to the dungeon rewards was a good move. Admittedly none of these changes really effect myself or my Guild as we were already Hammerknell ready, but good changes overall nevertheless.
After leveling two new characters to the mid 20s just from questing (Warrior and Cleric) I decided to start a Mage from scratch and hit the Warfronts at level 10 and only do PvP... finished up at level 24 about 12 hours later and had a blast.
The 20+ WF called the Codex really reminds me of AV in WoW mainly because it's pretty large. Also did Iron Tombs for the first time in 7 months and forgot how realistic and creepy the art style is. |

Morning awesome people.
Is this possible? I'd like to change Weddings to Blog, but I've posted a fair few in weddings, which of course use the structure:
Will changing the Wedding section to Blog cause the existing URL's to change to…
… or will it know to leave those alone (and still be able to reference them)?
I suppose another idea is to leave the Section name as Weddings and just change the title to Blog?

All I can say is that it's their business, as long as he never lays a hand on her again, it's all good. But, I doubt it will last. V erbal abuse usually goes along with physical abuse.
People need intense psychiatric intervention to change; neither of these two have the stability to undergo that.
Some people aren't strong enough; some people never learn. Maybe they are good for each other........two peas in a pod.
Yes he did, after an interview on Good Morning America in which he was asked about the Rhianna abuse situation, he went backstage breaking glass and stormed out of the studio tearing his clothes. And earlier this week on Twitter he posted a "Fuck you haters" post that was soon deleted by his handlers. He's got anger management issues.
The dude's a ticking time-bomb.

NASA'S DAWN SPACE PROBE, which is propelled by an electric rocket called an ion thruster, nears the asteroid Vesta in this artist's conception. Vesta is its initial survey target; the asteroid Ceres, its second destination, floats in the far distance in the image (bright spot at upper right). A conventional chemical rocket engine would be able to carry enough fuel to reach only one of these asteroids.
Image: Pat Rawlings SAIC
In Brief
- Conventional rockets generate thrust by burning chemical fuel. Electric rockets propel space vehicles by applying electric or electromagnetic fields to clouds of charged particles, or plasmas, to accelerate them.
- Although electric rockets offer much lower thrust levels than their chemical cousins, they can eventually enable spacecraft to reach greater speeds for the same amount of propellant.
- Electric rockets' high-speed capabilities and their efficient use of propellant make them valuable for deep-space missions.
More In This Article
Alone amid the cosmic blackness, NASA's Dawn space probe speeds beyond the orbit of Mars toward the asteroid belt. Launched to search for insights into the birth of the solar system, the robotic spacecraft is on its way to study the asteroids Vesta and Ceres, two of the largest remnants of the planetary embryos that collided and combined some 4.57 billion years ago to form today's planets.
But the goals of the mission are not all that make this flight notable. Dawn, which took off in September 2007, is powered by a kind of space propulsion technology that is starting to take center stage for long-distance missions a plasma rocket engine. Such engines, now being developed in several advanced forms, generate thrust by electrically producing and manipulating ionized gas propellants rather than by burning liquid or solid chemical fuels, as conventional rockets do.

Napoleones is a pastry that's always associated with the city of Bacolod, which is considered to be the 'Napoleones capital' of the Philippines. Well, nobody ever says 'Napoleones capital', I just thought it sounds cool like that. What I'm trying to say is the Napoleones in Bacolod is like no other.
Unfortunately, this Napoleones isn't from Bacolod, but right here in Iloilo, from the always-reliable Tinapayan bakeshop. However, it doesn't mean that this Napoleones wasn't good, because it was amazeballs. Speaking of Tinapayan, I took this picture while we were in line at the bakeshop and I had to take a quick shot because it was our turn to pay. So sorry for the absence of close up pictures.
Napoleones is a layered puff pastry with a custard filling and glazed with sugar (in this case it was also topped with chocolate). I've researched about this and it seems that Napoleones is very similar to the French pastry mille-feuille, and might even possibly be adapted from it, as mille-feuille outside of France is called napoleon.
If you're in Bacolod, please do not, under any circumstance, miss out on Napoleones. The recommended shops that sell Napoleones are Virgie's and Roli's. In Tinapayan, Napoleones costs only P16.00, so there really is no excuse why you can't buy one (or five) of this piece of heaven.
Later tater!

Cellar/Tasting Notes For unknown reasons, this Pomerol estate remains under most consumers' radar, but they have been fashioning strong efforts over recent vintages. The wine exhibits terrific fruit, a textured mouthfeel, and an impressive finish. Robert Parker
Cellar/Tasting Notes Beautifully elegant, noble, racy. A blend of 77% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a quintessentially elegant Margaux, with a dense ruby/purple color and notes of charcoal, cassis, a hint of smoking embers, and a subtle touch of spring flower garden. Dense on the palate with medium to full-bodied flavors, superb concentration, and moderate tannin, this wine requires..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A brilliant effort from well-known oenologists Dany and Michel Rolland, the 2009 Bon Pasteur is dominated by Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc included in the blend.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A 100% Merlot cuvee from the plateau of Pomerol, the 2009 La Fleur de Gay exhibits striking floral, blueberry, black raspberry, graphite, and subtle oak, charcoal, and camphor notes. This fleshy, full-bodied wine possesses outstanding purity, exceptional body, and admirable opulence as well as..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The most powerful, finest overall wine made at this estate since their 1982, the muscular 2009 reveals a dense ruby/purple color in addition to meaty, smoky notes of black cherries, iron, truffles, loamy soil, and spice. Dense, full-bodied, and virile with a boatload of tannin ... It should last..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Ferocious extract, huge tannin, an opaque purple color, and enormous richness all make for a potentially brilliant wine from this vineyard, located on the plateau of Pomerol just adjacent to Petrus.

THE CARBON CYCLE: The carbon cycle describes the movement of carbon, in its many forms, between the earth, atmosphere, oceans, and the animals, plants and bacteria that live there. For example, much of the carbon stored in trees and soils is released into the atmosphere when forests are cleared and cultivated. Sometimes this release happens very quickly, like when a forest fire burns. Sometimes it happens slowly, as dead plants decompose. When forests regrow on cleared land, trees draw carbon from the atmosphere and store it again in the plants and soil. If the global totals for photosynthesis (plants taking CO2 from the air and using it for energy, giving off oxygen) and respiration (animals taking in oxygen and using it to make energy, giving off CO2) are not equal, carbon accumulates, either on land or in the atmosphere. The rates of photosynthesis and respiration are not known, and they're not measured well enough, but there does appear to be an imbalance, known as the "missing sink" of carbon. Yet the carbon cycle must be a closed system, which means there is a fixed amount of carbon; we just don't know where the missing carbon is yet. Understanding why there is an imbalance, and where it occurs, is critical to combating the threat of global warming.
ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING: Global warming refers to an increase in the earth's average temperature -- which has risen about 1 degree F over the past 100 years. A warmer earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, and a rise in sea level, for example, as polar glaciers melt. Some of this rise is due to the greenhouse effect: certain gases in the atmosphere trap energy from the sun so that heat can't escape back into space. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would be too cold for humans to survive, but if it becomes too strong, the earth could become much warmer than usual, causing problems for humans, plants and animals.

This used to be one of Kongregate's hit games made by Kongregate itself but today there are next to nothing on it. Why? I think this is one of the better multiplayer games fun, usually quick, and you can make yourself a leader in the Kongai rankings. One of the reasons I think is they no longer post it on Kong's front page.
Also I hadn't been on Kong recently due to lack of internet and now I've been on for about a month again thinking that they stopped Kongai promotions completely until I saw this challenge that gave you an egg for Kongai. I mean really… an "EGG". What has Kongai come too. Well I'm getting off point I created this topic to see other people's ideas about this and see if we can get Kongregate to make a Kongai "Rebirth".

text: Home Culture On Blacks and Fat: Mark Jenkins This celebrity trainer says that black people need to put health before image and hair. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: May 1 2012 12:10 AM 0 Courtesy of In Fitness Obesity is more common in African Americans than in other ethnic groups. But when it comes to black people and weight, that's where the agreement seem to ends. Is food the culprit? Is exercise the solution? Is there even a real problem to begin with, or should we be focusing on health -- or even self-acceptance -- rather than the number on the scale? Against the backdrop of the first lady's mission to slim down the nation's kids, black celebs getting endorsements after shedding inches and a booming weight-loss industry, The Root will publish a series of interviews with medical professionals, activists and fitness enthusiasts that reveal the complexity of this issue and the range of approaches to it. For the third in the series, The Root talked to Mark Jenkins, a celebrity fitness trainer and author of The Jump Off: 60 Days to a Hip-Hop Hard Body, who has worked with everyone from D'Angelo and P. Diddy to Beyoncé and Tyler Perry. Read other interviews in the series here, and check out the rest of The Root's obesity coverage here. The Root: According to the latest statistics, African Americans are one-and-a-half times as likely to be obese as whites. What's going on, from your perspective, with black people, obesity and overall health? Mark Jenkins: You can start with slavery, when we were introduced to some of the foods that we still eat in excess today and that are so harmful to our health. Lack of activity definitely plays a role in obesity, too, and economics and class play into both. I'm in maybe 300 to 400 schools in the D.C. area with my "Fun, Fly & Fit" program [pdf], trying to make fitness fun for the kids. And so many of the schools are located in food deserts -- places where you can't get a piece of fruit in a four- or five-mile radius. TR: When it comes to African Americans and obesity, what is the biggest myth or misunderstanding? MJ: That we don't care. I had a HarperCollins book came out in '04 when I trained Puffy [Combs] for the [New York City] marathon. I wanted graffiti art on the cover to make it more edgy. They told me, "You gotta use your advance for that because black people don't care about health." TR: If you could make just one suggestion for people to implement in their daily lives with respect to weight and health, what would it be? MJ: Write down what you eat every day -- when you eat it, what it consists of, what your emotions are at the time -- to see if you find a pattern. See if you're eating when you're upset, when you're happy, when you're bored. It's a different system for each person ... but if you're conscious of what you're eating and why, you can start to address your diet. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Ex-QB Brian Johnson still directing Utes offense
By LYNN DeBRUIN
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) As a kid, Brian Johnson was so inquisitive he read the warning label inside his football helmet and nearly quit the game.
Nearly 20 years later that thirst for knowledge is serving him well instead as he embarks on his first season as Utah's offensive coordinator - according to the Utes, the youngest at the FBS level.
Johnson is best known for engineering Utah's 31-17 upset over heavily favored Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, calling plays in a no-huddle offense that helped Utah dart out to a 21-0 lead.
Now at 25, the winningest quarterback in Utah history is in charge in a different way.
Never mind that a few of Utah's players were born the same year, or that the man he replaced - 66-year-old Norm Chow - is old enough to be his grandfather.
"He might be young in age but not in knowledge," said Utes senior wide receiver DeVonte Christopher, who was quarterback for the scout team during Johnson's senior season.
Family members and colleagues say Johnson has always been mature beyond his age.
He committed to Utah at 16, and graduated high school at 17.
He went on to play in 10 games as a true freshman for the Utes, backing up Heisman Trophy finalist Alex Smith during Utah's 12-0 Fiesta Bowl championship season.
"He's always been the youngest," said Johnson's high school coach, Dick Olin, now Stephen F. Austin's offensive coordinator. "He was the youngest senior quarterback we ever had, the youngest backup Utah had. The `youngest' and `Brian Johnson' go hand in hand."
Olin said Johnson, Utah's fifth offensive coordinator since 2008, will do just fine in his expanded role because of his intelligence, leadership and charismatic-yet-calm demeanor.
Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said he sensed Johnson had a great feel for calling games in the Sugar Bowl victory. He cited the precision with which Johnson executed but also the feel he had for which plays to dial up.
"He was lights out," Whittingham said. "Those first three drives of the first quarter were as good as you'll see in any football game."
When Whittingham had a chance to hire Johnson as quarterbacks coach at age 22, he didn't hesitate.
Of course that presented one small problem for Johnson.
"When I was recruiting, I couldn't rent a car," he said. "Now, since my 25th birthday (in February), they don't hassle me about renting anymore."
Other than that, his transition from the field to sidelines has been seamless, something that must continue if Utah is to improve upon its 8-5 finish in 2011 - its first season in the expanded Pac-12 Conference.
Under Johnson, Christopher said Utah is opening up the offense a little more with spread sets as opposed to the pro-style formations used a year ago.
Yet Olin said Johnson won't feel compelled to put his stamp on the offense.
"He doesn't have an ego," Olin said. "He'll do what he must to help them win."
Despite his youth, Johnson said he isn't feeling the pressure.
"I've never been one to let that pressure get to me," said Johnson, who also is getting married to his college sweetheart this summer. "I'm more excited than anything else."
That's a stark contrast to his first taste at quarterback, when he was sacked in a Pop Warner game, and told his mother, "I'm never playing football again. They almost paralyzed me."
Turns out the kid who was always asking "why" had read the warning inside the helmet.
Johnson regrouped quickly and was at it the next play, and has matured at every level since.
About unnerved as he gets was standing alone late at night outside the Superdome, Sugar Bowl MVP trophy in hand, after the team buses left without him following Utah's big win.
"We thought we had everybody," Whittingham recalled, noting some players had gone off with their parents rather than back to the team hotel. "But he was in a remote corner, doing some interview, and we didn't know."
Johnson, who called Whittingham on his cellphone to arrange a ride, laughs about it now.
"He's a guy who's won over the hearts of Ute nation," Whittingham said.
Johnson already is giving back. When his salary jumped from $120,000 to $250,000 in his new role, he pledged $50,000 to the athletic director's fundraising campaign.
He declined to discuss the pledge other than to say, "I'm really appreciative of being able to grow up here and play for a great, great program. It's something I'm really passionate about."

2/13/2012: USCIRF Press Briefing: Iran's Imprisoned Bahá'í Leaders and Educators |
February 13, 2012 | by USCIRF WHO: USCIRF Commissioners and the relatives of imprisoned Iranian Baha'is, including six Baha'i educators who remain in prison after being convicted and sentenced last year to 4 and 5 year prison terms. In May 2011, in at least four different cities, Iranian authorities raided more than 30 homes of Baha'is involved with the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE), the community's 24 year-old effort to educate its youth, whom the government bars from undergraduate or graduate studies. Approximately 18 Baha'is were arrested and a number of books, documents, computers, and other materials associated with the BIHE were seized. Several Baha'is were released after days or weeks in detention, but in October, seven were tried and found guilty of membership in a deviant sect with the goal of taking action against the security of the country.
The seven were sentenced to either 4- or 5-year prison terms. In January 2012, Vahid Mahmoudi, one of the seven educators imprisoned, was released after his sentence was suspended. The other six educators remain in prison. In September 2011, prominent human rights defender Abdolfattah Soltani was arrested for preparing a defense for the Baha'i educators. He remains in prison. He was arrested and detained for several months in 2005 and 2009 under similar circumstances.
