Check Out My New Premium Chronos Guide Here. --- 0% Easymode --- (My GPM was actually 790 below, endgame figures are inaccurate)
If you scroll up and down really quickly over the links at the top, many times... and then stop... they keep going.
I didn't really look at anything else, but Cool site bro!
Oh, kinda forgot to comment on it earlier :P
Cool site indeed, I have reach that point where a itembuild often is enough if i'm in doubt. And your little webste is both a great start, and a nifty little reminder
And it's great that you update with all that news from the forums, even making to somewhat easier to read and undstand.
Keep up the great work
Hi, I am happy that people like you create these sites for noobs such as I.
One suggestion I have is it possible to add a skill overview for the heroes? Only the technical side is needed for me, one important thing I am having problems with is to know which skills are magical and which skills are physical. A second suggestion is maybe link the images of items to hondb? I don't know if these have already been suggested.

Really nice and clean website. I love how all the heroes are on one page. I hate digging through the strats forums looking for certain guides >.>
Yeah I had fun with that when I set it up as well lol
Initially I was planning to add in all of the skill descriptions as well (most of them are there just not displayed on the site), but later on I decided against it because of all the changes still happening in the beta. It'll be very easy to miss any of the changes and revisions etc. When the game goes live there's a good chance I'll come back to this.
Premium Guide - http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...ad.php?t=14787
Item build is dependent on the situation (I should probably add this in). Same with the skill build
Analysis: OMG WTF BBQ YOU DIDNT GET SWARM AT LVL 6?? Yes, and let me explain why. At level 6, you will still be in lane, so you shouldn't be using it to gank. Also, the -5 armor isnt a big bonus right now, because you dont do much damage to capatilize on it. The only time i would get Swarm right away is if there is an invis hero in the game. Other then that, Flight/Impale will serve you more good in the early going. However, always adapt to the situation, so if you need swarm, dont be afraid to get it.
I should add somewhere that the guides are there for reference but I do agree there are a lot of different ways to play most of the heroes
a detail if you can, upgrade the swiftblade guide to a new one, on recommended items its the old phase boots and still there was a flayer ( on the guide itself )
I'll consider adding it a little later down the track
There are only two Swiftblade guides available at the moment. The one I've listed on the site is old but not outdated. I'd still consider it to be a good cookie cutter build.
Stopped reading at the mere thought that pesti should skip his ult at 6.
Maybe you should continue reading for the explanation?
The more you know
I love this site and regularly have it open while im playing hon just so i can check on what i should be getting for heroes i am not used to playing.
so good to have the guides all on one page.
Awesome Sig made by Lhune The Incredible.
Project Zomboid An amazing indie survival zombie game
Suggestion - Spaghetti + Meatball Bramble
You should allow the roles to be split.
e.g magmus as a roamer/initiator rather than just initiator, and valk as a roamer/soft carry instead of just a roamer
you need to add things like new hero leaks and concepts
it's a nice site, but some of the builds are kind of weird or could be a little better
i'll just skim through the first few:
power supply in place of a bracer
no solo lane, i mean it works but there's almost always a hero who could use the exp/gold better
why pusher in place of semicarry or carry?
why puzzlebox and wards, someone else should be doing that
if he's carrying thunderclaw/savage mace are core imo, although your build works fine minus puzz/wards
looks good to me
one of the hardest carries, why is she under semicarry
you're building her more as a ganker than a carry, though i suppose it works
blink and sotm shouldn't be luxury though, and i question post haste in place of steamboots
mq needs the extra hp, and already has plenty of movespeed
okay i'm done
this guide is outdated, it was made before slither's buff; nowadays wards are maxed first at 7 for massive pushing
also toxicity was always kinda useless past lv1, all you need it for is the slow

THE ART WORLD about "Bye Bye Kitty!!!" at the Japan Society. "Bye Bye Kitty!!!" is purposely informative about contemporary Japan. The show's title somewhat upstages the show itself, which gathers work by sixteen youngish artists and argues for a fresh trend in Japanese art. With some strong exceptions, the paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos, and installations are the standard fare of the global biennial circuit: a little specific and a lot generic. But there's a tonic jolt of condensed wit in the punctuation of the show's adieu to kawaii, or cuteness—the treacly export charm of big-eyed representations of kids and animals, which has not been limited to Hello Kitty. "Bye Bye Kitty!!!" signals a collective will to grow up, if just a bit, with a revival of traditional forms and techniques, and some acute social criticism. The most prepossessing of the artists is one of the oldest, at forty-six, Makoto Aida. Aida commands archaic styles and compensates for their exhausted force with topical outrageousness. If art that knits the flashing present to the deep past is major, Aida is a major artist. Japan has lent itself to stubborn caricature. However, it seems from "Bye Bye Kitty!!!," that some younger Japanese are not content with proliferating elusive signs. We used to regard Japan with worried fascination, as the destined usurper of American economic primacy. China has taken over that role. The uncertain mood of "Bye Bye Kitty!!!" suggests an onerous but maturing attitude of resignation. The show is like an instant time capsule, a summary statement overtaken by disastrous events. It's well worth seeing for that reason. It affords a baseline measure for changes that will soon unfold. Mentions Takashi Murakami, Yamaguchi Akira, Manabu Ikeda, Miwa Yanagi, and Tomoko Kashiki.

Changue Forest Trail takes you through the heart of Changue and boasts excellent views of the Polmaddie Hills, which rise to over 1,800 ft. Although the Changue Forest Trail is a cycling route, hikers will most definitely find it a worthwhile walk.
The Dinmurchie Trail combines forest and open hills, and it gives a marvellous view of the picturesque village of Barr. If you are lucky, you may see some of the forest wildlife such as deer, fox, hare, kestrels and buzzards.
Fairy Knowles Trail passes through attractive waterfalls and pools, and Kirstie's Trail follows the delightful Water of Gregg.
Following the Devils Trail leads to the 'devil's footprints', which, as legend has it, was the site of a battle between the Laird of Changue and the devil. To defend himself, the laird placed his Bible at his feet and drew a circle in the dirt around him using his sword. If you look carefully, you can still see the devil's footprints, the circle drawn by the sword and the mark of the Bible in the grass.

According to the city's history, the arrowhead measures 1,375 feet long and 449 feet wide, and is visible from as far as 30 miles away on a clear day. Although it was commonly believed at one time that the local First Nations had made the arrowhead to mark the location of the hot springs, geologists now say that it is a natural phenomenon

Mont. Chippewa Cree tribe delays election certification
HAVRE, Mont. (AP) _ The ousted chairman of the Chippewa Cree tribe was set to take back his office this week after winning a special election.
But the tribe's election board never showed up Tuesday to swear in Ken Blatt St. Marks.
Board members say they have 14 days after the July 30th election to swear him in and they delayed the ceremony because a protest has been filed challenging the election results.
The board sent St. Marks a letter saying it would meet August 12th.
St. Marks said that the board is doing everything it can to stall.
A press release on the tribe's website says a legal challenge has been filed over voter qualifications and over the board's decision to allow St. Marks to be on the ballot.

By Ben Westhoff and Sarah Fenske Ok, we're assholes.

While there is no good reason for a player -- any player -- to be making a decision of this magnitude instead of his manager, when the manager can choose to be objective and the player cannot, I suggest Don Mattingly pose the following question to Hanley Ramirez: "Would you rather play two hours at ...

Dodger fans in the growing run-Don-Mattingly-out-of-town-on-a-rail movement won't have long to wait for an announcement. They may not like the result, but they won't have long to wait.

By Sarah Fenske and Ben Westhoff Picking on St. Louis is like picking on the fat kid at school -- the city is already so beleaguered, so desperate for approval, that giving it a hard time feels like nothing short of sadistic. And yet as the Dodgers take on the St. Louis Cardinals in the National L ... More >>
You might still be celebrating the Dodgers division series win over Atlanta last night. But, guys, not all is well in Los Angeles. After taking the title that is is rightfully ours, that of America's top mistress city, L.A. has dropped since last year's championship showing. This is a shame. We a ... More >>
The only thing keeping Don Mattingly from flashing another bunt sign is the lack of a fourth base. What else might do the trick? Carpal tunnel, perhaps. A straightjacket. And Juan Uribe. The wonderful and powerful Juan Uribe. Forced to sacrifice two strikes, Uribe launched a booming eighth inning t ... More >>
Autumn is a funny time in Los Angeles: the leaves stubbornly affixed to their trees, the hoi polloi going about in all manner of t-shirts and flip-flops.

What a difference a day makes. Or half a day. After a rainout Tuesday, the long-anticipated Los Angeles-New York interleague series finally materialized yesterday.

Losers of six of eight, the Dodgers pull into the Bronx today for a pair of interleague games with their long-time World Series rivals, the New York Yankees.

The 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers are a monumental flop. They're a steaming-on-the-asphalt big fat flop.

This is baseball, and our team has laid a dud, ... More >>
Walter O'Malley, who moved the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in time for the 1958 season, might be turning in his grave.

The Dodgers showed up for their weekend test, ready with their sharpened # 2 pencils (no jokes about their walking up to the plate with them in hand, please), scouted out the nearest restrooms, got credit for spelling their names correctly, and beat the patsy Miami Marlins two out of three.

Exactly how much rope does the Dodgers' skipper have left?

It's Jackie Robinson Day, America. And it's Jackie Robinson day across America. The third Monday in January of every year we celebrate the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr. And on April 15 we remember the day Jackie Robinson became the first "Negro" player in Major League Baseball.
"Opening Day," says Harrison Ford's Branch Rickey in the Jackie Robinson biopic 42, "is all future. The past is wiped away. It's a clean slate." It's a nice little platitude to mutter in the locker room, but both on the baseball field and in the real world, it's the kind of starry-eyed naive optimis ... More >>

Brand new Nubians!
26 August 2005
It's easy to spot the most outstanding feature of our two newest arrivals - they've each got the most incredible set of ears we've ever seen! The boys are Tex and Fez, and many Zoo guests are able to quickly identify their breed as Anglo-Nubians just by the swing of their ears.Anglo-Nubians are a very hardy breed, often described as having 'a proud carriage and a great deal of grace'. Their origins stem from the deserts of Africa and the English countryside, with the cross-breeding of both lines of goats resulting in the breed as we know it today. Their rugged desert heritage means that they're very well suited to much of Australia's climate, which makes them a very popular milking breed in our country. And our boys, at only two weeks old, are already displaying the robust, hardy nature of their breed... though they have a little bit of work to do when it comes to being 'proud and graceful'!
It didn't take the pair long at all to adjust to their new home, and they were very curious about their surroundings and new friends right from the word go. Tex and Fez soon found out that their ears were very popular... in terms of getting nibbled on, that is! But it wasn't long before their distinctive, high-pitched voices were chiming in with all the others', and by bedtime on the very first day of their arrival they were cuddled right up with the smallest of the lambs.
We're already in love with our little Anglo-Nubians, and are looking forward to watching them grow up.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Two tornadoes struck New York City on Saturday, one swept out of the sea and hit a beachfront neighborhood and the second, stronger twister hit moments later, hurling debris in the air, knocking out power and startling residents who once thought of twisters as a Midwestern phenomenon.
Videos taken by bystanders showed a funnel cloud sucking up water, then sand, and then small pieces of buildings, as the first moved through the Breezy Point section of the Rockaway peninsula in Queens.
The second hit west, in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn also near the water, about seven minutes later. The National Weather Service said winds were up to 110 miles per hour, and several homes and trees were damaged.
No serious injuries were reported.

Abstract: This paper presents a case for iterative community-based co-design to facilitate the emergence of an innovative mobile system to address a potentially life-threatening scenario for Deaf people in South Africa. For Deaf people that communicate in South African Sign Language, miscommunication due to language barriers, under-education, under-employment and physiological deafness can lead to a potentially dangerous therapeutic outcome when Deaf people potentially misunderstand a pharmacist's instructions on how to take prescribed medicine. The design for a mobile communication aid to address this problem emerged from iterative cycles of action research performed with a local Deaf community that also involved pharmacists and a multi-disciplinary research team. Conventional user-centred design techniques were innovatively appropriated for the community-based co-design. The paper illustrates the community-based co-design process and points the way toward imminent implementation, as well as the potential application of the mobile solution to other scenarios in Deaf people's lives.

Abstract: This paper describes how a deaf to hearing communication aid built for a mobile phone can be used to provide semi-synchronous communication between a Deaf person and a hearing person who cannot sign. Deaf people with access to mobile phones have become accustomed to using Short Messaging Services, to communicate with both hearing and Deaf people. However Most Deaf people have basic literacy levels and hence prefer not to communicate with text, but with South Africa Sign Language. The prototype uses interpreted communication between sign language and English. The mock-up is meant to help a Deaf person convey their medical conditions to a doctor face-to-face in the office. The prototype is made using prerecorded sign language videos for the Deaf person and English text for the hearing doctor. The interaction on the mobile phone is done inside the phone's browser using video streaming, instead of playing the video in a third-party media player. The design goal was to present the system on a mobile phone from the computer-based prototype. This paper takes a look at the background, related systems, the methods, the design and user testing of such a system on a mobile phone; using two prototypes client-server and client only.

Abstract: This paper addresses mobility management issues in an environment with both wireless LAN and wireless mesh networks. We first examine wireless mesh network client side transparency within mesh mobility management protocols and then look at standard mobility management protocols. The client side transparency scheme enables mobile nodes to support mobility in heterogeneous and homogeneous networks. However, they are not necessarily compatible with mobile IP protocols. Although a typical mesh topology tends to be an unplanned graph and routes change dynamically, standard mobility management protocols such as MIPv6, HMIPv6, and FMIPv6 may be used for mobility management in wireless mesh networks. To learn how MIPv6 operates, we used the OPNET 16.0 MIPv6 model to simulate a heterogeneous wireless environment comprising both WLAN and WMN. The simulation results show that MIPv6 is able to manage vertical handover between WLAN and WMN. However, in our opinion, its performance with both route optimization and tunneled traffic mechanisms is not effective enough. MIPv6 suffers from handover latency and packet loss which can combine to compromise delaysensitive applications such as video conferencing. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/700 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: For four years we have been iteratively evolving MUTI, a rural telehealth system, for hospitals and clinics in a remote rural part of the Eastern Cape in South Africa (Chetty, 2005; Chetty et al., 2003, 2004a; Maunder et al., 2006; Vuza, 2006; Vuza & Tucker, 2004). MUTI enables nurses and doctors to use a wireless Internet Protocol-based communication system to conduct patient referrals, request ambulance services, order supplies and generally keep in contact with one another. The primary community-oriented goal was to prevent unnecessary travel by sick patients from the clinic to the hospital, as transportation in these poverty-stricken and geographically dispersed areas is difficult and expensive for the local inhabitants. We hope that the system can enable nurses at the clinic to learn how to treat a wide range of problems locally by consulting with doctors that they normally do not meet or even speak with. We also hope that the system will lessen the workload for doctors at the hospital. As we expected, integrating new technologies into their everyday work lives is not straightforward or easy.

Abstract: We looked for and found two situations within the South African Digital Divide where constant and severe macro-scale latencies would most likely interfere with the usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions. We describe how these systems tend to exhibit both social and technical macro-scale delays. Our experience building bridges for these communities has inspired several innovations with respect to the design, development and measurement of IP communications systems. The main contribution is the Open User Interconnect (OUI) stack, a communications system model that explicitly includes the user in relation to the underlying network. The OUI stack is orthogonal to the Open System Interconnect stack. There are two outcomes from including the user in the model. First, the OUI approach necessitates the adoption of usercentred methods such as Participatory Design and in the case of the South African Digital Divide, the adoption of Action Research principles. The second outcome is a user-centred measurement notion, called Quality of Communication (QoC), that is a macro-scale spin on Quality of Service. QoC explicitly includes the measurement of user behaviour in addition to system metrics. In conclusion, we suggest that these Digital Divide-inspired contributions may be applicable to IP communications system design, development and measurement in general. The paper concludes with a brief dissertation completion plan. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/485 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Next Generation Networks use policy-based network management and QoS protocols to provide voice services on IP networks. Large numbers of older equipment still push IP packets. We present several solutions that include legacy equipment into a PBNM and QoS system. A static design uses traffic shaping at the legacy edge. A dynamic solution uses a Quasi-PEP implemented over RSVP and COPS. Preliminary test results are presented for the static solution. Collected data shows that the solution decreases packet loss on the legacy side. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/519 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Following on the development of several prototypes, we have built a semi-automated Deaf Telephony prototype on the SoftBridge platform. This prototype relays text and speech between Deaf users on the Internet and hearing users on the telephone system. Previous work with a pilot trial in the laboratory revealed several opportunities for enhancement. We added a Wizard of Oz (WoOz) to replace the poorly performing automatic speech recognition functionality as well as H.323 breakout, more extensive logging and advanced call initiation functionality. In order to trial the current prototype, we initiated an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) training programme with the Deaf Community of Cape Town. Twenty Deaf users participated in the training. In addition to the training, much baseline user data was collected to give an indication of how Deaf users communicate with hearing users as well as how familiar they are with ICT devices and services. The work for the rest of this year requires us to recruit and train a WoOz operator. Subsequent trials will essentially consist of monthly cycles of prototype introduction, training, automated metric and log collection, user feedback and then feature enhancement. Linguistic analyses of the text output of the Deaf users will be analyzed. We hope to refine the SoftBridge prototype to fit the needs of the Deaf and hearing users, from both technical and social viewpoints. We expect that these iterative cycles will continue for some time and will teach us many lessons regarding multi-modal semi-synchronous IP-based communications systems.

Abstract: This paper reports on three years of research and fieldwork with a rural wireless Internet Protocol communication project. We built a long-range WiFi network and custom communication software to support a rural telehealth project in the remote Eastern Cape. We report on our work using cellular networks, devices and applications as reference technologies because our users and beneficiaries are very comfortable with them. Of most concern are the technological and contextual issues affecting take up of the systems we designed. The paper intends to provide a summary analysis of our experience so that others in the field can learn from our successes and mistakes with respect to rural Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) in a South African context.

Abstract: This paper presents a fully decentralised peer-topeer voice communication tool intended for use across mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) by distributed groups who desired collaboration. We examined the synergy between MANETs and peer-to-peer virtual overlay networks which allowed the creation of ad hoc applications. One style of communication considered suitable for task oriented distributed group collaboration was push-to-talk. This research was focused on providing a push-to-talk communication platform suitable for deployment across MANETs. The research methodology employed was a proof of concept approach within a classical experimental computer science paradigm. We developed a prototype which used JXTA, a peer-to-peer virtual overlay network, to provide push-to-talk functionality across MANETs. Guaranteed delivery of messages was provided via a peer-to-peer voicemail delivery system. While the system did what intended we show that JXTA had a problem with the efficient delivery of voice samples. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/508 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative use of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for the subscription and notification of geographic information in order to provide a privacy concerned location-based service. SIP is a signaling protocol used for establishing sessions in an IP network. It has been widely used for Internet conferencing and telephony. This research project aims to enhance the SIP presence model in order to protect sensitive geographic information. To achieve this goal, we thoroughly analyzed existing Location-Based Services (LBS), reviewed LBS designs' pitfalls and identified several key privacy requirements. Based on this research, we presented a SIP flow that meets the privacy requirements. This SIP message flow includes SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY and PUBLISH messages. A data format to carry geographic location information has also been introduced. The data format is based on Presence Information Data Format (PIDF). We define it as Location-enhanced PIDF, or LPIDF. LPIDF contains geographical information objects. We hope that the outcome of this research project will provide rich, convenient, privacy concerned architecture for LBS. Because LPIDF is based on SIP, this approach can be easily integrated into IP telephony services. LPIDF enables personalization of the Location-Based services address user privacy concerns and hereby increase their satisfaction. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/494 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Situation-aware routing seeks to improve quality of service on hybrid wireless mesh networks by making routing decisions based on the current situation of the network. BATMAN-adv is a mesh routing protocol that counts beacons as a link quality metric. We modified BATMAN-adv to give more recently received beacons more weight, thereby giving a more precise indication of the current state of a link. We then compared the original protocol with our modification in a small laboratory test bed. Results show little relation between jitter and packet loss. Jitter is, however, proportional to throughput. The average throughput achieved on both protocols was almost the same but we noticed that the throughput on our modified version increases as the network grows. Our protocol modification suffered from packet loss at low bandwidth rates but this reduces as the transfer rate increases and buffer size shrinks. We conclude that our situationaware protocol modification shows potential to address issues pertaining to scalable and congested static mesh networks with mobile nodes.

Abstract: This paper describes a situation-aware algorithm based on the current situation of a mesh network with mobile nodes that improves quality of service. After running laboratory performance tests, we concluded that a situation-aware mesh routing protocol offers potential to address issues pertaining to mobility, congestion and scalability in dynamic mesh networks with mobile nodes. Such networks appear promising to provide connectivity to people living in rural areas in developing regions of Africa, and can be easily interconnected to telco-styled networks through gateways for voice and Internet services. Such services can remain free in the mesh, yet can also be billed for interconnection. Our vision offers an attractive business model for up scaling a rural customer base for telcos, while at the same time offering increased quality of service for mobile users on rural mesh networks.

Abstract: While the social effects of Information Technology (IT) have received much attention there is very little work on targeted methodologies to develop IT applications and content in a developing world environment. This paper describes a methodology called Socially Aware Software Engineering we are busy formulating based on firsthand experience building Information and Communication Technology solutions. Our method is based on a classical user-centred approach from Human Computer Interaction combined with aspects of Participatory Design and cyclical software engineering practises. These approaches are wrapped into an iterative Action Research paradigm in order to directly include the community-based users of our systems. We outline three cases studies based on our evolving method. The paper concludes with suggestions on changing the nature of tertiary curricula in developing countries in a way that integrates this socially aware software engineering methodology.

Abstract: This paper describes work in progress towards developing a business case and preliminary design for an 802.11-based mesh network in the remote rural community of Mankosi in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Aside from the technical challenges to building the network to be sustainable in the long term, this network needs to generate some revenue. Hence, there needs to be a business model that has revenue generation potential. This study will explore the economical and social aspects of voice over Internet- Protocol as a service for this community. After talking to the village leaders, we learned that there is a demand for telecommunication services and that most of them were interested only in telephony service. Very few villagers were interested in or had any knowledge about the Internet. We also learned that most of their cellular phone calls are local within the Mankosi community. This allows us to deploy an experimental local telephony service; a perfect opportunity for a low-cost and lowcosting inverse mesh infrastructure that can easily be connected to breakout and Internet services in the future.

Abstract: Instant Messaging is traditionally a text only a air. However, there are instances when it would be useful to bridge to other types of media, like speech. The SoftBridge is an application framework that enables this kind of communications bridging using instant messages. Its use of protocols like the Jabber Instant Messaging Protocol and the Simple Object Access Protocol makes it simple, open and extensible. It also allows bridging to non IP communications infrastructure, like the telephone network. We describe the design and architecture of the system, protocol and extensibility mechanism. Finally we describe our experimental methodology and discuss the results of our initial experiments. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/537 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Following on several partial prototypes, we built an automated Deaf Telephony bridging application with the SoftBridge platform. The SoftBridge performs multi-modal bridging in real-time using Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) utilities accessed via web services. To perform Action Research with the Deaf community in Cape Town, we invited a Deaf user (DU) to participate in a pilot study. We conducted three tests varying the input/output modalities of the hearing user (HU). The DU had a standard text in/text out Instant Messaging client. The HU client used the following specific modality combinations: Text & TTS in/Text out, TTS in/Text out and TTS in/Text & ASR out. The SoftBridge logged the conversations for subsequent analysis. The trial showed a largely successful conversation. Success factors include a) a text and computer literate DU who is familiar with research practise, b) using the system to explain the research as we conducted it and c) that the multi-modal bridging capabilities overcame the expected shortcomings of TTS and especially ASR. The lessons learned from this trial will be applied to the next trial once the necessary modifications have been implemented. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/535 Files in this item: 1

Obama Less Popular Than Bush
Poor Barry! His popularity has now fallen below that of George W. Bush. Who would have thunk it? Kinda reminds me of the "grass is greener on the other side" mentality. Americans disliked Bush, and then they experienced a dose of Obama and found out that Bush wasn't quite as bad as they thought.
From the Politico:
Bush job approval rating higher than Obama's
"George W. Bush's job approval rating as president has spiked to 47 percent, according to a Gallup poll released Monday.
That's 1 point higher than President Barack Obama's job approval rating in a poll taken the same week.
This is the first time Gallup asked Americans to retrospectively rate Bush's job performance. And it was a stunning turnaround from his low point of 25 percent in November 2008. The 47 percent number is 13 points higher than the last Gallup poll taken before Bush left office in 2009 and the highest rating for him since before Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Still, Bush's 51 percent disapproval rating means he's only one of two U.S. presidents in the past 50 years whose disapproval exceeds approval. The other is Richard Nixon, who resigned in disgrace 36 years ago and whose approval rating stands at 29 percent.
Obama's stumbles and dimming public memories of Bush's shortcomings appear to be helping fuel the more positive reassessment of him. And, in recent weeks, Bush's tour to promote his new memoir, 'Decision Points,' and the groundbreaking of his new library in Dallas have generated mostly positive press.
Bush's 47 percent approval rating also raises serious questions about the wisdom of the White House's decision to relentlessly attack him in the months before the Democrats' historic losses in the midterm elections. The president had kept warning a House Republican majority would return to Bush-era policies. But Obama's message did little to galvanize the liberal base, and independents flocked to the GOP on Election Day.
Bush's rebound gives some credence to what he has long said — that history will eventually judge his presidency.
One of his role models is Harry Truman, who left office deeply unpopular but now gets credit for laying the groundwork to fight the Cold War. Bush sees parallels with his own efforts in the early days of the global war on terror.
Gallup also polled on the eight other presidents in the past 50 years, asking: 'From what you have heard, read, or remember about some of our past presidents, please tell me if you approve or disapprove of the way each of the following handled their job as president.'
To prevent respondents from getting Bush, the 43rd president, confused with his father — George H.W. Bush, the 41st president — the pollsters added that Bush was president from 2001 to 2009.
John F. Kennedy remains the most popular modern president, with 85 percent of those surveyed saying they approved of his job performance. Ronald Reagan's job approval was 74 percent. And Bill Clinton's was 69 percent, up from 61 percent in 2006.
The poll was conducted Nov. 19-21 with a random sample of 1,037 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points."

No gloating here on this end.
Obama has weakened this country so much so fast it is scary.
Bush had 9/11, Katrina, the collapse of the dot coms from Clintons cooking of the books presidency and the Frank/Dodd bubble collapse. Clintons whole presidency was based on cooked books and inflated values of everything.
Obamas was all self inflicted wounds from his policy of taking america down for Soros and giving the unions money and increased power.
If our country survives the progressive take over from within with the aide of Soros and Putin we will come back stronger.
How on earth can Russia control 50%of US Uranium?
Obama is the most dangerous president of our time. - December 8, 2010 at 2:35 PM
I forgot to add that Bush is far from being innocent in all that he did. I questioned Bush on many accounts as well, but I NEVER FEARED MY GOVT AS I DO NOW. The evidence that Obama is weakening our country on purpose is overwhelming.

Did I "badmouth" Bush? Sure did... once he tried to dismantle the public education system in America so that his "free market" buddies might make a quick buck by setting up new charter schools to skim a pretty penny out of the system. And when Bushie decided that America should invade a foreign country under false pretenses, I really badmouthed him.
But I never suggested that Bushie took "my" country away from me. Did I say he was hurting "our" country? You bet.
I also accused Bushie, rightfully, of being an idiot, and a mean-spirited lying idiot at times, but I never once said -- or even thought -- that he was intentionally trying to destroy our country.
And, when his daddy's buddies conned a majority of the Supreme Court to hand Bushie Lite the presidency on a silver platter, I complained. But you know what? You never heard me arguing TWO YEARS LATER that Bushie wasn't the legitimate President of the United States.
It's called "losing an election". More than 50% of all candidates lose their most recent election. Happens all the time. when you lose, you pick up the pieces and try harder next time. That's the way our system works. You DON'T try to blow up the system to get rid of the candidate you didn't vote for. I have NO respect for those that try that approach, be they coming from the right OR the left.
JustaDumbass, whatI said was one needs to respect the SYSTEM of our government. If you choose to show disrespect for the President or any other individuals or individuals that play a role in that government, that's up to you. BUt disrespecting the SYSTEM -- ESPECIALLY if it's because one guy pisses you off -- is stupid and un-American in the truest sense of the word. That system, while certainly not perfect, is the best system of government this planet has ever seen, and it has served us well since 1789. THAT deserves some respect, and Teabaggers who whine about the suppposed illegitimacy of the duly-elected President deserve no respect.
And you'd have everybody believe that this unprecedented treatment of our system and our President has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that this particular President just HAPPENS to be black? It's all coincidentsal, right?
