Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us
by Daniel H. Pink. Riverhead Books, 2009
What pushes employees to do their best work? Many businesses operate under the belief that the key to motivating workers is giving them tangible rewards, such as a cash bonus or a corner office. In the book Drive, business writer Daniel H. Pink argues persuasively that these companies have it all wrong. He cites a body of behavioral science research that suggests that optimal performance comes when people find intrinsic meaning in their work.
Pink points to studies that show creating incentives can be counterproductive. This idea was first hinted at in the 1960s, when psychologist Sam Glucksberg, now at Princeton University, experimented with the "candle problem," a test in which participants are given a candle, matches and a box of tacks and asked to fix the candle to a wall (the solution lies in using the box as a platform). Volunteers who were offered cash to solve the problem fast actually took longer to finish because, as Glucksberg concluded, focusing on the reward interfered with the volunteers' ability to concentrate on completing the task at hand. In a more recent study, researchers at Harvard Business School asked a panel of artists and curators to rate pieces of artwork for creativity and technical skill without knowing whether or not the works were commissioned. The panel ended up ranking commissioned pieces lower in creativity than noncommissioned pieces, even though they found no difference in technical skill.
Although incentives seem to hamper performance, Pink acknowledges that not all are bad. Dangling carrots may be useful in getting people to plow through boring, routine work. But in the fast-changing 21st-century economy, the success of individuals and organizations increasingly depends on being nimble and innovative, so there is more and more need for people to find intrinsic value in their work. Pink identifies three elements underlying such intrinsic motivation: autonomy, the ability to choose what and how tasks are completed; mastery, the process of becoming adept at an activity; and purpose, the desire to improve the world.
Drive highlights businesses that promote these values. Google lets its engineers work on any project they choose for 20 percent of their time—a policy that has yielded popular products, including Google News. Toms Shoes in California matches every sale with a charitable donation of a pair of shoes to a child in the developing world. Pink also cites educational institutions such as Montessori schools that let kids follow their natural curiosity in self-directed activities. Moving beyond the world of work, he advocates designing your own exercise program rather than following a gym's cookie-cutter one to motivate you to break a sweat.
A limitation of Drive's argument is that many people may be too busy making ends meet to seek out work or other activities that hold intrinsic interest. Still, Pink makes a convincing case that organizations ignore intrinsic motivation at their peril.

Do you remember the Diet 7Up Taste Challenge Kit I told you guys about a few weeks ago? Well mine arrived yesterday, and we decided to put our tastebuds to work immediately. When I opened the box I was greeted with 2 sets of instructions (I think this was a mistake), a coupon for a free 2-liter bottle of Diet 7Up, a can of the new Diet 7Up, a can of Sprite Zero and a ridiculously banged up can of Sierra Mist Free. The instructions said to refrigerate the sodas for at least an hour before tasting, but they arrived ice cold - the same temp as the sodas in the fridge - so we dove straight in. I thought that the Diet 7Up we had in the fridge was different, so I ended up throwing that into the mix as well.
I poured each drink into red party cups labeled A, B, C and D - set them out and let everyone taste. No one knew which was which (except me), so there would be no bias. Out of the ten people who participated, 5 liked A the best, 3 for C and 2 for D. To find out what was in each cup, read more

Daily Journal Recognizes Manatt Partner Justin Thompson Among Top California Real Estate Attorneys
August 15, 2012 - Manatt's Justin Thompson, a partner in the firm's Real Estate & Land Use Practice, has been recognized by the Daily Journal as one of the top 30 real estate attorneys in California. The paper published its list of lawyers on August 15, 2012.
The Daily Journal's annual "Top 30 Real Estate Attorneys" list features California lawyers who are making a mark on the industry through creativity, persistence and hard work. The list was compiled through research done by the paper's editors, and honorees were selected based on the value and intricacy of transactional work, as well as innovative ways they have kept projects afloat in a battered economy.
In its profile of Thompson, the Daily Journal featured his work for Sony Astani, a prominent Beverly Hills developer. Astani had spent years securing government approvals to build a $300 million, 700-unit low-rise steel and glass apartment building on a long-vacant three-acre lot in downtown Los Angeles. In June, Thompson helped Astani sell the lot for $63 million, a sum that Astani described as one of the most expensive land deals ever in the area.
Thompson said that the deal was complicated "by virtue of where it is and what was being done to the property." He said he had to navigate through disputes over the existing parking lots and wrangle over the project's entitlements.
"This sale was the culmination of years and years of [Astani's] efforts to successfully manage the property," said Thompson. "It was nice to be part of the final chapter."

Which is easier to keep safe, Madam Z? I think it's electronic money. The only good thing about hard cash is that you can put in your bath tub and howl with glee. I'd like to see you in a bath tub with a million bucks, howling gleefully with madness in your eyes.
- Harry said...
Probably the only place you can break a $1000 bill is at a gas station if you're filling up. I'll take 50,000 twenties please.
- Jodi MacArthur said...
I would take the damn cash! Since I've been on the border my identity has been stolen through credit cards and once through my debit card three times. NOT COOL. There is some sort of device the person runs the card through then zips it through the normal one. Gah. I would have like to live back in the days when gold and jewels were exchanged. Or a pound of honey for a leg of lamb. Things that are real and tangible, you can hold them in your hands and its not floating around through out space. Maybe I'm just a hands on person? Good post.
- Madam Z said...
GB, while "electronic money" is probably safer, playing with the million bucks in the bathtub, with you watching, sounds like more fun.
You're right, Harry. So unless you do an awful lot of driving, the 50,000 twenties is more practical.
Jodi, you've certainly had some bad luck with electronic money! I'm a "hands on person" too. If we could get our hands on a time machine, we could go back to the good old days, when your money and other valuables were stolen from you in person, instead of over the internet! - 4:35 PM
- Bill said...
So, now who's being philosophical?
To answer your question, in fantasy, I want tangible-real-in hand wealth. But today, electronic money is what works so that's fine by mine.
Still, money is a screwy concept in that it's disproportionately distributed. Who's more valuable - the CEO of a major corporation or the babysitter of your children? A baseball player or a teacher? - 4:03 AM
- Connor said...
I dunno. I think getting a statement fromt he bank with the 1,000,000 showing in my balance I'd be pretty happy...Either way though

Irn Bru for me, although I generally drink my second favourite, Diet Coke, for health reasons.
I don't like normal Coke, and conversly, I think Diet Irn Bru is vile.
omgies shampoo are totes cool when i was 17 back in 94 i totally wanted to be them even tho i was boy. but now i'm a girl so it all worked out alright really!
Appletiser. Or elderflower. Or coke on a hangover.
I only drink normal coke after a heavy weekend or at Christmas - I do like it but it is just far too sugary
They are different kinds of sweeteners.. it's acesflume k(?) which is more sugar-like than aspartame.
escargot my cargo
God give me good old sugar than these bizarre chemicals ANYDAY
Well I agree... I would rather drink Pepsi if I could - which has more sugar in it than anything, a gram more than coke.
Surprisingly, orange sodas like Fanta don't have THAT much sugar in them, but Sprite/7 Up have as much as coke.
Lucozade of course has the most. I do love Tropical and Lemon Lucozade.
I'm shocked that Swedehead has started this poll! Talk about teeth rotting - diet or otherwise.

I had an addiction to Fanta Fruit Twist a few years ago
OT: LOOMER, a lady called Danielle was asking after you today... she messaged me on Facebook thinking I was a real life friend of yours!
I do love Irn Bru, but I love Barr's other cheap drinks too. Limeade, Orangeade, Pineappleade, American Cream Soda, Red Kola.. they also do stuff like Raspberryade.
I live right next to a Costcutter Garage that stocks all this shyt! One could easily become addicted. http://tipnut.com/how-to-beat-the-soda-pop-addiction/ http://www.suite101.com/content/the-...iction-a205856
escargot my cargo
OT: I just tasted Snapple ice teas, and they are pretty good.
Lemonade-wise I think Orange Soda is one of my favourites but not available everywhere.
oh I HATE coke. I can't stand the coating it leaves on your tongue. UGH.
I surrender to every word you whisper
It leaves a bad coating on the teeths I find.
I only drink one of the few I selected THREE times a month MAX. Go water and tea.
My new single "My new single is dropping" is dropping
WHERE in the HELL is TANGO?
Anyway my favourite is Canada Dry. Absolutely beautiful. But I like to drink it infrequently, usually just at Christmas - it always feels much more of a TREAT that way

Tango is the Samantha Womack of sodas. I sorta don't mind orange tango, but I much prefer the taste of fanta.
What is Canada Dry, Jark? I thought that was beer.. is that Ginger Beer?
escargot my cargo
Coke and Pepsi for me
sorry but I cannot do with those sugarfree versions. I'd much rather BLEND MY OWN SHIT and DRINK IT*
*figure of speech
actually I do not for the life of me understand why Diet Coke and Coke Zero are so popular. they taste so synthetic. just awful. and if you are to believe the reports they make you even FATTER

yeah Canada Dry is ginger beer.
i've never indulged but we serve it and it seems quite popular.

Ginger beer is actually my favourite but I forgot until someone mentioned it in this thread.
I'm a sugar drinker though - none of this Diet shit.
Canada Dry isn't as bitter as ginger beer usually is though. It treads a really fine line, I can't even think of another drink that tastes quite the same. The supermarkets all do their own brand version which is usually just called American Ginger but it's not quite the same.
No fizzy drinks EVAH for me
But I DO like a nice drop of SQUASH when I'm not drinking WATER
Canada Dry is giner ale rather than ginger beer, and it's clearer. Ginger beer's quite cloudy. I love canada dry with whiskey.

These lamps make good for decorative, sculptural, and general lighting and the neutral colors are perfect for any bedroom lighting, living room lamps, foyer, or office.
Ceiling Lights
Currey & Company Lighting options include chandeliers, pendants, island lighting, and billiard lighting. Exquisitely made, their chandeliers and pendants are the epitome of ethnic and elegant design. They are typically crafted with iron and complimented with crystal, metal or wood decorative design such as leaves, teardrops or studs. The island lighting and billiard lighting ranges from modern to classic design and are made with iron, copper, brass or antique gold leaf.
About Currey & Company
Currey & Company's chandeliers, wall sconces, and lamps bring an organic, sculptural element to any room in the house. Using hand forged iron products, hand-carved wood, porcelain, brass, concrete and even seashells, Currey & Company embraces history and imagination. Combining different ethnic materials with mainstream features is key to the distinctiveness that Currey & Company offers. Iron, brass, and copper finishes bring fixtures to life with a natural and elegant feel and add a traditional yet modern touch to any room. Their light fixtures make for decorative light, statement light, sculptural light, and general light and are offered in a variety of materials and styles.
Currey & Company began its existence in 1988 as a home garden furnishing company focused on creating and marketing classic garden furniture such as birdhouses, rustic twig furniture and garden whimsies. In the early 1990s, they decided to offer lighting products to their current home décor line. Embracing their new vision, to create and fulfill the desire for distinctive home furnishings, Currey & Company's most important aspect of business had become lighting by the 1990s.
Each fixture produced reflects the company's attention to detail inherent in their manufacturing and finishing processes. Whether producing wall sconces made with extraordinary pieces of jewelry and exquisite ironwork or chandeliers made with organic materials Currey & Company distinguishes themselves from the rest with hand-crafted, hand-finishing processes and characteristics.
Why Does Lamps.com love Currey and Company Lighting solutions?
Even though Lamps.com LOVES Philadelphia we like to escape to the beach or the mountains… either in real life or when we're daydreaming! Currey & Company has perfect chandeliers, wall sconces, and lamps that emphasize the beautiful aspects of nature. Use an oyster shell wall sconce, midwinter wall sconce, or warf table lamp to compliment your vacation home's beautiful surroundings.
- What about a canopy for a Currey & Company chandelier?
All chandeliers come with a canopy and chain included and matches the chandelier!
- Can I get extra chain for a Currey & Company chandelier?
Yes and it comes packaged in 3' or 8' lengths.
- What is the typical chandelier size for a dining table?
There is no typical size. But a general guideline to follow is to choose a chandelier that has a diameter equal to one-half the width of the table.
- How low should a chandelier be hung over a dining table?
Typically in an 8' ceiling high room, there should be 30" between the bottom of the chandelier and the top of the table.
- How do I choose a chandelier for my foyer?
Add the dimensions together and use the sum for the diameter of the chandelier. For example, 14' + 16' is 30', so your chandelier should be approximately 30" in diameter. But remember to consider the ceiling height too.
- Can I hard wire a Currey & Company wall sconce?
Yes! Each sconce is shipped with a 40" cord cover and an 8' lamp cord which makes it possible to use where you don't want to wire it to a wall but the cord and cord cover are detachable so it is possible to be converted to a hard-wired fixture.
- How high should I hang a wall sconce?
Generally they should be hung on a wall 60" from the floor.

Sonoma County homeless shelters full as temperatures drop
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 4:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 7:08 a.m.
Sonoma County emergency shelters are full this week as homeless people try to escape sub-freezing nighttime temperatures.
The mercury was expected to hit a low of 31 degrees early today in Santa Rosa after lows of 27 degrees early Thursday and 28 degrees Wednesday. And warmer weather is forecast for the next few nights.
"We've been on overflow for about a week and a half now," said Jennielynn Holmes-Davis, program manager at the Catholic Charities Family Support Center on A Street. The 120-bed facility got city permission to add 18 beds on a temporary basis.
With other facilities also at full capacity, thousands of people remain without indoor shelter. They are camping along the railroad tracks, at the coast, under bridges, in cars, beside trails and riding buses as late as they run.
"I can't get in until the 20th," said Larry Boody, 41, who is on the waiting list at Redwood Gospel Mission in Santa Rosa's Railroad Square.
"It's cold," he said, smoking a cigarette in downtown Santa Rosa on Wednesday afternoon. His shopping cart of possessions held a blanket.
"It is so brutal," said Jeff Gilman, the Redwood Gospel Mission's executive director. I can't imagine what it's like. ... All the shelters are full, there's no place to go."
The Sixth Street mission has added beds in its chapel, and now has room for 150 men, Gilman said.
There were 3,366 people living outside in Sonoma County in January 2011, and 534 shelter beds, the most recent official census of homeless found.
While the cold is hard, the good news is that at least it's not raining, said Mike Johnson, chief operating officer for Petaluma's Committee on the Shelterless, or COTS.
"For the folks out there on a regular basis, they've got the survival skills to weather the cold, typically," he said. "But when it rains as well, it becomes really intolerable."
Johnson said COTS's Mary Isaak Shelter, with its 100 beds full, is not adding any others, though it has a waiting list of about 30 people. They add up to 20 beds when it becomes dangerously wet and cold. A COTS resource worker is making weekly visits to places in the city known to be frequented by homeless people to connect them with other services, he said.
In Guerneville, all 25 beds are full at the emergency shelter in the Veterans Hall run by West County Community Services.
People with pets or behavioral problems are not allowed to stay at the shelter, but are being given sleeping bags and tents when possible, said the nonprofit's Executive Director, Katrina Thurman.
The shelter hasn't yet had to move to the larger room that it has available because temperatures along the river haven't dropped below freezing until morning, when people are leaving, she said.
"We do try to send folks out with extra jackets, socks, dry underclothes (which) make a big difference, and we have a hot beverage for folks going out in the morning," she said.
In Santa Rosa, Holmes said that staff and volunteers have been handing out blankets and sleeping bags and "we're in the middle of a big campaign to get out on the streets" to hand out more supplies.
"We've given out more sleeping bags than we've ever given out this year," she said.
Sitting in Courthouse Square on an afternoon that had turned pleasantly warm, Joe Loomis, 58, said that was all he needed, preferring to stay outside.
"I've got a sleeping bag and a couple of blankets that I cover up with, it's OK," he said.
He opts not to go to the mission, he said, because people who stay there are required to attend a church service.
"I don't need to be evangelized," Loomis said. "It's not bad; it's not wrong; it's just their rules."
And the Sam Jones Hall, run by Catholic Charities in southwest Santa Rosa, is too far to get to, he said.
But a few blocks away, standing outside the Sonoma County Central Library, Mike Dunnivand, 41, said it was a relief to get inside. He and a companion just got a bed at the Sam Jones Hall, he said.
"We got in by the chin of our chinny-chin-chin," he said. He used an unprintable word to describe being outside at night in cold as cold as it's lately been.
"You're stressed all the time," he said.

Hey friends, I was wondering if you wud suggest me how I could bombard someone using Kings Gambit. Always suppose that I am declining the gambit...
Thanks in advance!!!
Hi, are you talking about as white or black? if black, these lines are especially deadly.
here is a good article on this defence
another good one is the falkbeer counter gambit
If you are really interested in the KGA, join the group the king's gambit players and look at the vote chess matches. There is always a good KG match going on. Hope that helps!
"Hi, are you talking about as white or black? if black, these lines are especially deadly."
Thanks, Justin...
i think king gambit no longer praticed this day...
doesnt exactly work that way, gavinator, when I am done with my game vs. what up I will show you why, and I am not engineing him, and I will not claim that the opening is great, only playable, I will show why I played what I did, my thoughts durring the game, and why I think he played the moves he did.
"In my opinion, the King's Gambit is busted. It loses by force."
Best way as Black is to accept the gambit and play aggresively. In Justin's first example, Black tries to drive away the Knight with his pawns and attack with Qh4+, which ruins White's Kingside.
I play Bc4 plus Fischer didn't believe that statemend, as he played it later in his carrer, also Actions Speak louder than words.
The game where you hung a rook on move 18 that he inexplicably ignored?
for a good time I had an advantage, I just screwed it up by overlooking a mate in two because I needed the Bishop out of the way
You played very actively and I kept missevaluating a winning move, oh well, another lesson.
you were no where near clearly winning Qd3 gives me a minor, but you are right about the rook not being free lol
The King's Gambit isn't refuted, as far as I know. Here's a great game Boris Spassky vs Bronstein
umm... no i would have gotten his right back and more, i admit that he could have made it last longer but i was clearly winning.
here is what happens if I took the rook
modern scandinavian variation gives black easy equality
Amazingly, 21.Qe1 is almost the only thing you can do that loses for you outright.
after 18...Kh8 which you played 19. Qd3! and now you have to decide wheather to trade queens and loose the bishop on d4 or loose your rook, is there anything that I missed.
@whatupyodog: Please refrain from using derogatory language in the forums, as this is a family-friendly site.
and you just lost your rook genius and you may take mine, I promote, take out your passer and the game is equal

posted a message on Blizzard will be providing a list of the choices for us to make, there wasn't really anything concrete from the discussion. Some good ideas were talked about and came directly from chat that Blizzard will now go through and try to make them work. We should be presented with a final list to vote on next time we hear about this project.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
posted a message on The entire stream was a lot of fun. We the co-hosts and the Diablo community team created a pretty big list of ideas with lots being pulled directly from many of the community sites (many from these forums!) and submitted them for the show notes. It was sad we couldn't spend more time going over them, we literally could have gone on for many more hours. Travis and John read through all of the suggestions in the notes so don't feel bad if your idea wasn't mentioned live, it could have been very well in the notes but just didn't make it to the discussion. A lot of ideas with a very similar concepts were also grouped together.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I wish I could have got some more suggestions/questions in but I was having a hard time trying to avoid interrupting the other guests (hard with 6 people!). I'd rather listen to Travis and John talk about the design process anyway -
posted a message on On Wednesday, December 11 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. PT I'll be co-hosting Design a Legendary, Part 3: "Choose Your Power" Livestream on http://www.twitch.tv/Twizzcast. I'll be joining other members of the community along with game designers Travis Day and John Yang to chat about the legendary item creation process and brainstorming and discussing possible Legendary powers for the Mephisto-themed, one-handed Legendary sword. We're hoping to come away with at least 5 to 10 workable powers that we can then have you, the community, vote on globally!Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
If you aren't familiar with the series I highly recommend you all take a look at the past blog posts on the official Diablo site.

Also tossed a up a diablo reddit post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/1s5c4o/nephalem_trials_adding_competition_to_diablo/ -
posted a message on We want to compete, it's huma...err Nephalem nature. Not only do we want to compete against others but we want to challenge ourselves. Besides completing the hardest difficulty, comparing player stats, or earning Paragon levels there's nothing really at all used to compare our characters in game. Even Paragon levels can't be used to judge a players skill level, it's basically just an indication of time played. We're instead left to visit third-party sites like diabloprogress or YouTube to see where we rank amongst Diablo III's playerbase. It's these sites where we find people competing for the highest dps/stats, experience earned per hour, or even Uber boss kill times. I've even personally watched popular streamers hold competitions going head to head in a legendary hunt race, and it was actually rather enjoyable. Why don't we have the ability to do this in Diablo III? Why exactly are we staying up all hours of the night hunting for loot if we can't do anything with it? Some people might argue there was nothing to do with the gear we found in in Diablo II either, but remember this is the sequel. Gamers have different standards today, especially when it comes to games that are exclusively online.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
With that said I think I've found the solution, and it's nothing we haven't seen before.
Nephalem Trials
Nephalem Trials aren't exactly a new concept. Blizzard first mentioned them at Gamescom and has since mentioned them many times as we've been nearing closer to the release of Reaper of Souls. It really saddened me when we got news of the feature being delayed.

We absolutely love the idea behind the Trials (challenge-based systems can be so much fun), but before we implement them we want to make sure they have a strong underlying reward structure and tracking system. That kind of hook is important for a system like this and we didn't want to add in Nephalem Trials to the game without it.
Oh really a "reward structure and tracking system"... My gut feeling tells me there's a reason why both Nephalem Trials and Ladders (never announced but hinted at) are both being delayed. The simple reason being that Blizzard wants these two features to be connected in order to create a new ranking and seasonal ladder system.
You have to admit that Blizzard is pretty damn good when it comes to creating rankings, ratings, or other systems which let players compete against each other either directly or indirectly. We've seen this demonstrated in World of Warcraft with its pvp arena, server first achievements and challenge modes. Starcraft's success and popularity is widely recognized as being directly related to its ranked system and ladder, did you see the competition at Blizzcon!? Even their new free to play game Hearthstone has a pretty good ranking system being added to it and most likely their newly announced Heroes of the Storm will follow suit. Diablo III is pretty much the only current Blizzard title that doesn't have any way for players to test themselves or compete against other players, I think it's about time we get something similar.
Endless Horde
What better way to test your survivability and killing speed then a trial made of an endless horde of demons. Play too defensive and you'll be eventually overrun, play too offensive and you'll quickly find yourself taking a dirt nap. Find the perfect balance in gear, manage your cool-downs, and hone your strategies either alone or in group play.
Each new wave is released at an increasingly faster rate, with each being stronger than the previous. Killing a wave earns players a higher score. The trial ends only when every Nephalem falls. Will you be forever remembered as the Nephalem champion that held his ground the longest against the burning hells?
Perhaps to even compensate for situations where a player might only have a limited amount of playtime, certain checkpoints could be reached letting players pickup where they left off and continue their progress at a later time.
Timed Dungeon
Inspired by World of Warcraft's challenge mode players test their efficiency to earn honors for the fastest run. Players compete against each other by clearing every monster in the dungeon. Players can even help their time by earning bonuses by opening chests throughout the dungeon.
To allow this to be a fair competition, every season will have a different map with a predetermined number tile sets, monsters, chests, and champions. A map's layout should still be randomized each time to ensure every attempt is slightly different and allows for a player's dungeon navigation skills are also a determining factor. Players will need to discover new builds and try different gear combinations to compete for the top rank.
Goblin Hunt
Race against time to kill as many of the devious little creatures as possible found randomly scattered throughout a dungeon.
There are many types of treasure goblins in Diablo III, they could possibly be even be worth different point values in this trial.
Rankings & Ladders
This isn't going to be the conventional ladder Diablo players are used to. Game time shouldn't be the main contributing factor when competing for top spot in a ladder. With the shift to skill based challenges, players with varying degrees of playtime will all be able to compete for top rankings. Advantages will still be present for players with more playtime in the form of getting their hands on more legendary items or earning a higher Paragon level to use in Nephalem Trials but at least time will no longer be the only decider.
Your highest score from each Nephalem Trial will be used to determine your overall "Nephalem Score" (yeah, yeah, I know another usage of the word Nephalem). There will still be individual ladders for each trial which would offer special rewards but the most prestigious honor would go to the players with the highest overall Nephalem Scores.
It would be impossible to balance classes so probably the best solution would be to have separate rankings for each class.
There could also be separate ladders depending on if you chose to play in groups with 2-4 friends. You might not be able to get a team rating, but you would still earn individual scores for your chosen class based on 2 player, 3 player, or 4 player games.
Seasons don't have to mean wiping every character completely and starting from scratch. One of my most disliked features regarding ladders in Diablo II was when it came time for a ladder reset. I really enjoyed a fresh new competition but I didn't like losing my character's progress in terms of all the the gear I've worked hard to obtain in the process. Sure he was only moved to non-ladder but more than likely I would never touch him again. I could see how it may have been necessary in Diablo II due to inflation caused by trading and bots but that shouldn't be the case in Reaper of Souls where, it feels strange saying it, but there isn't going to be an economy anymore. With the introduction of BoA items and increased protection against dupes and bots it should be safe to not have to do a complete wipe. The introduction of shared Paragon levels is also another key reason why I feel it would be a pretty big disappointment if we were required to start from nothing. It would basically make the system we waited so long for pointless.
A season in Diablo III could simply mean resetting everyone's Nephalem Score back to zero and introducing new Nephalem Trial maps, monsters, and rewards. Blizzard could even introduce new types of trials in later seasons but that might be pushing things. There's already the great feature to create randomized dungeons, it would be as simple as Blizzard creating one new randomized dungeon for each trial when a new season is released. New combinations of maps and monsters should allow players to come up with unique builds, item combinations and strategies every season to compete for the honor of being ranked the top Nephalem of their chosen class.
Rewards don't have to be given to just the top players in each class. It could work in a very similar manor as how Blizzard implemented WoW's PvP rewards or the Challenge Mode transmogrification gear where players need a certain rank in order to purchase cosmetic options such as new banners (improve these!), transmogrification gear or even perhaps cool new wings.
Save some unique rewards to hand out to the top ranked Nephalem of each class and ladder every season and you'd see people never getting bored.
Reaper of Souls adds so many improvements to the game but I believe in order to give some much needed improvements to the overall longevity of the game there needs to be a way to compete against one another. We might not be seeing any PvP introduced in the near future but there are definitely many options to implement competition based on the great PvE elements we already see in game.
Feel free to discuss other possible options for Nephalem Trials below, I know there were many types in some of the datamined information we've already seen but I'd love to hear your thoughts on new types they could implement.

posted a message on I'd just like to mention that I'm only standing around in the video to demonstrate the damage from thorns. To maximize my speed I always use my skills (there's no reason not to use them.)Posted in: News & Announcements
I've actually been doing T4 with a slightly different variation of the thorns build. It's of course slower being in t4 but pretty manageable. -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Not really, I'm just trying to show an example of how items can be combined to make new builds in Loot 2.0. -
posted a message on Here's a quick series of clips I've put together showing everyone a Crusader thorns build I'm currently working on. This is a great example of how Loot 2.0 opens up the possibility for new builds by combining items and skills to create synergy. Before everyone says this is overpowered I'd like to point out that this isn't a cookie cutter/get one item and win build. This build requires a number of legendary items that I've personally only seen drop once in my entire ~40 hours of testing. I'm still playing around with the skills, passives, and enchanting to try and find the right combination but overall it's starting to feel pretty nice. This footage is all from Torment 1 difficulty. I've only tried doing a couple Torment 4 Nephalem Rifts which were much slower but still doable.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
The first couple clips I'm just showing off how powerful Thorns can be when combined with the right legendary items. I'm literally just standing doing nothing and mowing everything down including elites. I could easily complete full Nephalem Rifts by just running through the entire map not using a single skill besides the occasional health potion and Steed Charge for mobility sake. Using skills makes things even faster and is definitely required when I go up in Torment difficulty.
Here are the 6 key pieces of gear needed to create the build:
Thorns Set (helm, shoulders, gloves) - (4 set bonus) Your Thorns damage now hits all enemies in 15 yards.
Sanguary Vambracers - Chance on being hit to deal 1000% of your thorns damage to nearby enemies.
1h Thorns Axe - Your Thorns damage is applied to every attack.
Ring of Royal Grandeur - Reduces the number of items needed for set bonuses by 1.
The key here is the Ring of Royal Grandeur which lets me replace the Thorns Set bracers with the Sanguary Vambracers.
Near the end of the video I decided to try out a new legendary amulet which occasionally pulled all enemies to me which was SUPER nice in order to get everything in range of my Thorns. Even though I lost both damage and toughness I feel the trade off was worth it.
Hope you all enjoy! -

Gulf Times
March 30, 2013
by Richard Weitz
In 2009, US President Barack Obama pledged to seek a world without nuclear weapons. But, while he delivered on his promise to negotiate a New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia a year later, progress has since stalled. To break the deadlock, the current bilateral framework for negotiation, which has remained largely unchanged since the Cold War, must be transformed into a trilateral framework that includes China.
To be sure, such a move would significantly complicate negotiations. After all, while decades of bilateral dialogue have given the United States and Russia a good sense of each other's strategic perspectives – including the issues on which they disagree – China's perception of strategic stability is unfamiliar.
But trilateral dialogues, catalysed by skillful US diplomacy, could also serve as an opportunity to manage the countries' strategic relations, which currently are characterised by contradictions and mistrust.
Russia seeks China's support in opposing American missile-defence systems, and calls for the involvement of all nuclear states in future strategic arms-control talks, but then cites concerns about China's military modernisation to justify its refusal to negotiate with Nato on tactical nuclear-weapon reduction.
China, which has never adopted legally binding limits on its nuclear weapons or strategic nuclear-delivery vehicles, rejects Russia's call to join negotiations – a stance that the US supports until the Russian and US nuclear arsenals move closer in size to those of China.
At the same time, US officials deny that their country's missile-defence programmes are directed against Russia or China, but refuse to offer a legally binding guarantee. And the US Department of Defence is developing a robust programme of long-range conventional strike weapons, which China and Russia cite to justify their efforts to strengthen their offensive nuclear forces.
Although multilateral co-operation on nuclear issues has been effective in some cases, such as in ratifying the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, it has been inadequate in others, such as in easing tensions with Iran and North Korea. In fact, even when China, Russia, and the US share the same agenda, their differing diplomatic tactics often undermine their ability to achieve their objectives.
For example, the three countries' policies are inadvertently contributing to proliferation pressures in Asia and Europe. US pledges to defend Japan against a nuclear attack from China or North Korea have played a decisive role in dissuading the Japanese from seeking their own nuclear weapons.
Given this, a Chinese nuclear surge – even one that did not lead to US-China parity – could undermine the credibility of American deterrence commitments, possibly motivating Japan to launch its own nuclear programme.
Similarly, some of Nato's newer members, many of which are former Soviet-bloc states, are anxious about the prospect of Russian rearmament. As a result, they oppose efforts to reduce the number of American nuclear weapons in Europe, part of Nato's "nuclear sharing" policy.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle to initiating a trilateral dialogue is Chinese resistance to formal nuclear arms-control agreements, which is rooted in the memory of Cold War-era nonproliferation initiatives aimed partly at preventing China from developing its own nuclear deterrent. Since then, Chinese officials have insisted that they do not belong in US-Russian strategic-arms talks, because the two countries' nuclear arsenals dwarf theirs.
But, as the US and Russia reduce their nuclear stockpiles, this excuse is becoming less valid, and China's exclusion from negotiations is becoming an increasingly significant hindrance to disarmament.
Securing a binding commitment from China's government to limit its nuclear development is crucial to reassuring the US and Russia that further strategic-weapons cuts will not undermine global or regional stability.
Several recent developments could help to minimise obstacles to trilateral co-operation. China's new leadership is further removed from Maoist-era reflexive opposition to nuclear negotiations; Russian leaders' confidence in their economic and military resurgence is waning; and both countries are increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress in nuclear talks with North Korea and Iran.
Meanwhile, faced with a large federal budget deficit, many American voters would welcome reduced spending on nuclear weapons.
The US should capitalise on this situation, leveraging Russian concerns and interests to induce China to join strategic arms-control efforts. China might be willing to make a unilateral, but enforceable, commitment not to augment its nuclear arsenal, if Russia and the US reduce theirs further.
Determining the circumstances that might induce such restraint – and the conditions that would be needed to sustain it – is crucial to reinvigorating nuclear disarmament efforts.
With Russia ostensibly on board, it is up to the US to initiate a transformation in the nuclear-negotiation framework – and that means convincing China to participate.
