A ''virtual reunion'' hosted by one of America's most trusted figures, this compelling book takes the measure of a generation and the nation it created.
- Brokaw himself reported many of the major events of 1968, most famously RFK's assassination.
- Meet today's leaders and relive their formative experiences in the Sixties.
- 668-page hardcover book from the author of The Greatest Generation.
Forty years ago a sea-change in our society &mdash a cultural, political and social upwelling &mdash laid the foundation for modern-day America.
It was 1968. In that single year, MLK and RFK died, Chicago rioted, Nixon triumphed, and Tet exploded. The top music acts were the Beatles, the Doors, Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye. Man circled the Moon. From Civil Rights to Vietnam, from rock & roll to rocket science, 1968 stands out as a concentrated dose of everything we think of as the Sixties.
In The Greatest Generation, his landmark bestseller, Tom Brokaw eloquently evoked for America what it meant to come of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War. Now, in BOOM!, one of America's premier journalists gives us an epic portrait of another defining era in America as he brings to life the tumultuous Sixties, a fault line in American history. The voices and stories of both famous people and ordinary citizens come together as Brokaw discovers lessons that might guide us in the years ahead.
Remarkable in its insights, profoundly moving, wonderfully written and reported, this revealing portrait of a generation and of an era, and of the impact of the 1960s on our lives today, lets us be present at this "virtual reunion", and join in these frank conversations about America then, now, and tomorrow.
Your appreciation and understanding of this pivotal time will explode with Tom Brokaw's BOOM!.

I am obsessed with tea!
I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com
I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com
My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as "flavored" teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.
I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.
I don't do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don't always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you're interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I'll let you know when I have some posted.
Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.

12. Runes
Here are some setups that's valid options for an AH/hammer build and ofc its superior runes with one exception.
5Ranger+1Lyssa (Get a decent crtchance in vit/pow/tough, they absolutely need these runes and if you get this don't bother using anything else then critchance enhancers, 6*Lyssa is a very strong option)
6Soldier (Usable in both berserkers and knights)
6Dolyak (Great in knights with a constant increase in incoming heals. Small healthpools and high toughness benefits more from heals. Can also be used in berserkers but rune of the soldier are better suited for that)
6Forge (20% protection duration and 10 sek protection when under 50% health works really well in knights and ofc berserkers)
6Lyssa, all boons for 5 seconds after using an elite, works will all builds and gear. This is just great with renewed focus and virtues. Statwise it suits vit/pow/tough best since it needs precision.
3monk+3water (useable in knights and ofc vit/pre/heal, 30% boonduration and 150 more in heals on every dodge)
*2monk+2water+2*major rune of sanctuary* (See monk+water except you don't get more than 50 extra in heals but 40% uptime on boons also great dps setup for vit/pre/heal gear)
2strength+2fire+2Hoelbrak (berserker, knights and especially vit/pre/heal benefits greatly from these babies, max dps with berserkers but with these you can hit extremely hard with the heal gear and still dodge heal yourself for 1k per dodge.)
6Dwayna (You get area regeneration for the team when using a healskill, super nice and goes really well with all gears actually. The paradox is that the smaller the healthpool the easier you fill it and the less you need this for you, see it as support, it's not for you and you still get AH from regeneration on the team.
2-4runes of vampirism (thx Fabsm for trying these out, I just started testing these and I don't know yet if I like them but the concept of a lifeleecher is interesting even though I find the proccrate to be kind of low but I will get into sigils that leech so I thought I should mention these as well. They seem to work best with knights gear though)
6Divinity. (Nuff said, great allround runes but god they are expensive. Not suitable for vit/tuv/pov though)
If its just stats you are looking for then upgrades/orbs from BLT is enough and you get those for like 2 silver a piece. Runes are really just necessary in pow/vit/tough (max crit) and if you want a certain function they offer.

13. Sigils
I tried a bunch here as well and these also has impact on your secondary weapon so I write the hammersigil first and secondary, if applicable, sigil last, ie Energy+Energy
Energy+Energy, my personal favourite in all kinds of pvp, being able to dodge 3-4 times in a row have saved me so many times in wvw its silly and it also support the animationskipping, in tpvp especially but not so much in wvw. This sigil has really nice synergies with vigorous precision. Can be used with all runes and geartypes
Intelligence+Energy. 100% crit on MB is huge in tpvp and the hammer is the weapon this sigil works best with. The setup is one offensive weaponset and one defensive set.
Strength/battle+Strength/battle these are used to stack might with a build that's supports it, and if you want might on swap (3 stacks for 20 seconds with battle) or the chance of getting 1 stack for 10s on crit is personal taste but most people will find that in tpvp swap is preferred and in wvw crit is preferred. In pve I would go for might on crit. This sigil has great synergies with empowering might, inspired virtues and renewed justice.
The hammer alone should be able to have you hovering at 10 or more stacks, which improves dps greatly.
In general 1h weapons are superior in might stacking thru swaps + crit and faster attackspeed but its definitely viable.
I would use these with the same gear as I use monk+water, monk+water+sanctuary or strength+fire+hoelbrak.
So if you want to be a healer and hit hard as hell then you use monk+water, empowering might, VoJ and ofc the staff. So use empower on the staff (more might) and then swap and hammer with VoJ and might on crits. If done correctly you will have 20 stacks in seconds and then you hit hard, really hard.
Hydromancy This sigil makes glacial heart obsolete 100% chance to chill on swap for 3 seconds which is nice in tpvp. Sigil of ice proccs on crit for a 2s duration with 10s internal cd. This is also better then Glacial heart.
The only reason to use glacial heart is if you want to stack freeze and then I would go for:
Hydromancy+hydromany and Ice in the offhand and main being sceptre in wvw and/or sceptre/1h sword in tpvp. But it still doesn't justify glacial heart imo if you look at what you lose out on. Nice on all geartypes.
Accuracy, 5% extra crit is always welcome and has synergies with the entire concept. Well spent money if you haven't geared up properly. Nice on all geartypes.
Perception or Bloodlust These are really nice in pve and especially in open world. They are best put to use use on sets with low stats in the area where they contribute. Bloodlust increases power which suits vit/pre/heal and Perception favors vit/tough/pow.
These sigils earn a stack if the kill is done with the weapon its mounted in and the stack also remains if you swap. I don't know if you can have both types in two different sets weapons and both types of stacks, based on the weapon you kill with. If you can these are monsters in pve but someone else has to test that.
Fire works great with this build and adds more aoe.
Blood hits for about 300 and heals for the same amount, in aoe fights this is major thing since 30% chance on crit and only 2s internal cd. I'm trying this out atm and this looks to be a beast in wvw and also pve. I tried this during BWE and it's not worth it in Tpvp unless you run with a 1h build, 1h handers once more benefits more from this but in wvw it's definitely an option for hammer gameplay.
Suitable for all geartypes and definitely its an option.
Purity, 60% chance of removing conditions on crit, nuff said, stop whining about conditions and trait and gear for them. Best suited for players that doesn't know how to stay clean?
Leeching about 1k damage and 1k health on swap, suited for tpvp and pve not so much in WvW since swapping is much more uncommon.
In general the concept of leeching feels more and more desirable and I will definitely explore this further, I just have to finish my tests of the hard hitting healer, it might be so that the "leecher" might be a hybrid offspring from the hard hitting healer.
Rage, just have to mention this one even though its for the staff. When a clash happens pull empower to boost your team, then activate retreat and run into the horde of foe and start use the staffs skill 1. In one or two aoe-hits this sigil proccs and the fun begins. Just saying, try it, if not just for the fun of it and if you can do it with empowering might and VoJ for 6 more stacks of might and ofc boon duration runes and consumables.

14. Elites and Virtues
In almost all aspects the elite to use is renewed focus and the simple reason for that is inspired virtues, these are great in almost every aspect of the game and it's not just a lifesaver for you, it's a lifesaver for the team. Our other eltites are much more dramatic but seriously I don't think they have the huge impact that I sense that renewed focus has.
The only time I think tome of wrath is preferred is in sieges. I would probably review this opinion if stability was reintroduced in the tomes or that casting time was reduced dramatically. In tpvp you look like a light house and as soon as you pull a tome all opponents just jumps you and cc you to oblivion. As it stand now RF is superior and that is a AH/hammer guardians bread and butter.

15. Consumables
I hope two of these tastes nice?
- Bowl of Curry Butternut Squash Soup 100 precision and 10% critical damage
- Bowl of Curry Pumpkin Soup 100 precision and 70 vitality
- Bowl of Spiced Meat and Cabbage Stew 60% to gain might on dodge and 20% increased refill rate on endurance.
- Master Maintenance Oil, 6% of toughness into precision and 4% of vit into precision
- Chocolate omnomberry cream 20% boonduration, +10 experience from kills AND 40% magic find while under the effect of a boon. Great in all aspects of pve and pvp.
- Blackberry pie, 40% to steal life on crit and 50 precision and +10 exp from kills.
- Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew, grants might on dodge, really nice in combination with a might stacking build.
- Last but not least I would like to mention Omnomberry Pie (Ghost) which offers 66% chance on crit for lifesteal, which is about 340 hp.
The thing is that I would recommend everyone and his mother to choose sigil of blood and the lifestealfood and especially the Ghost. I used it for two nights in WvW and last night I also did some pve in cursed shore. Just to mention my performance in pve, the last boss in the Plinx quest line, the one we all need to kite for minutes, you know which I mean. That little rascal I facetanked from second until he got tired of me and switched target after like 1 minute. That is how powerful this food and sigil are in combination.
This food, and Blackberry Pie, seems to stack ontop of the sigils which gives you 30+66 (40)=96% chance to procc. This means that almost every crit actually triggers the lifesteal which grants you 341 heals (isn't boosted by healpower) and with 50% critrating that is 170 heals per hit. In combination with vigorous precision that is over 200 heals per hit.
Yeah its overpowered as hell and I will personally report this as a bug.
An average chain+mb with three allies heal you for about 1700 and this would add in over 1k more heals. So roughly just under 3k heals from one chain+mb, it's a no brainer in wvw but in pve you don't need it. Crazy OP and I will report it, I just has to be a bug.
Im sure there are others but these are the one I found so far that works really well with the AH/hammer setup.

16. Utilities
Healing skills
As the healing skill you have two options really, the obvious one being the signet and it serves not just as a heal but also as a condition remover every 10th second, this in combination with purity is 9 times out of 10 enough for wvw . Ofc you can also put 20 points in radiance and then you get conditionremover when you activate it. Remember, a used heal is 3 less removed conditions in the next 30 seconds.
The second heal skill is shelter, it's a much worse heal but in combination with renewed focus it can give you a rather long period of cover. This isn't the main reason why this heal is interesting but the fact that it blocks incoming damage and it blocks an infinite number, So far so good. In Valor you have might of the protector, a minor trait, and what that does is that it let you gain might per block, This means that if you run scepter+focus as secondary you theoretically can build 23 stacks of might really fast. So shelter might be a choice you consider if you want to create mayhem. The signet is the obvious choice in pve.
In short all shouts are valid and they all serve their purpose.
Hold the line and Stand your ground in Tpvp. Great shouts with great impact.
Retreat and SY in wvw and open world pve for movement and SY and Stand your Ground in combat.
In dungeons Hold the Line and SY.
It ofc depends on group setup, if in a group with no speed boosts then use retreat as both an offensive and defensive shout, in ww.
In general you should not use more then two shouts since traited virtues in reality are an additional 1.5 shouts. You should at least keep one slot open for the job you are set to do, this makes you much more diversified. The exception is spvp and tpvp where "three shout" builds are valid.
Judges intervention, can be used in wvw, it's great for moving around, great for escaping and great for catching, what's not to like about it. Too bad you can't teleport up on wall anymore, that was so great but you can still use it to trap groups in RoW, in a aoe death-trap, and also teleport and use banish while doing it. Worth mentioning is that you can start one skill and in the middle of the cast you can pull Judges Intervention and finish the first skill in a different place. Ie start banish and teleport in and finish where the opponents are.
Smite Condition and Contemplation of Purity: our two "active" condition removals. Very useful on fights against mobs that you can't risk yourself having to gamble on the passive condition removal. Example would be the Bandit Cutpurse in CM Ex. One Death Blossom will equal to 12 bleed stacks AND a poison.
Wall of reflection, can ofc be used untraited and its still super strong. It has great impact in both pvp and pve and hasnt to be traited in order to be valid.
Hallowed Ground: this skill needs to be in its own section. HG and SYG are two of our strongest support utilities. Stability is very rare among all the professions, but we have two, not to mention that it's for the whole group. HG is a must on some encounter such as the Inquests in Arah Ex Mursaat or the first bosses in CM Ex Asura and Butler even if you don't have 10 points in Virtue.
Purging Flame: same as above but group condition removal. Bonus: provides a 5 seconds fire field.
Both purging flames and hallowed ground has their uses in pvp as well and the above mentioned fire field adds to their usability when considering a mightstacking build. If you have 10 points in virtues you have both hallowed ground and purging flames and both are fire fields that grants 25 sec of might and 3 stacks each and you trigger them with mighty blow. With the proper runes and food those lasts 25 second +60% uptime with the boonduration increasing runes and food. Besides giving 16s stability and purge conditions ofc which can be increased with major traits as. Sanctuary is also an option.
Signet of Judgement passive -10% damage and in combination with protection it's a 43% reduction of incoming damage and then add 3300 in armour to that. If you want to switch to offense, activate it in the crowd (600 range) and get heals from retaliation (AH) and ofc weakness in 600 range, that is just huge!!!! This one is as close to meta as a utility skill can be and can be used in all aspects of the game.
Spirit Weapons
Shield of the Avenger: even though this is a spirit weapon skill, it's extremely powerful in conjunction with Wall of Reflect on fights against a large amount of range enemies such as the riflemen in CM Ex.
Other valid utility skills
If 20 points in radiance an other signet might be valid, why not signet of wrath for a 24 sec root and one more condition remover if you trait inscribed removal.

17. Gameplay and our job on the battlefield
As I pointed out in chapter 6 the gameplay differs greatly from playing gs or 1h sword, at least as long as you want to maximize damage while minimizing incoming damage. The weapon isn't made to spam skill one as gs and 1h are but requires a bit more finesse and thought.
First we have the dodging in the chain, between step 2 and 3, and then we have animationskipping, These are some basic stuff we need to learn in order to maximise output. Second we need to understand that the direction of the dodge is crucial for out next move. Dodging away from an opponent isn't necessarily a defensive move and dodging towards isn't an offensive move..
Dodging as much as I suggest that we should do also introduces a risk that we reduce the personal effect we get from the symbol, besides AH. This is even more important to understand if you use a build that's built for boon duration. How come, isn't that build less prone to have a downside if we miss one tick from the symbol. No, the answer is no. The reason for this is that a build we no boonenhancers actually has other stats to compensate, like vitality and toughness from rune of the soldier, while the "boonbuild" actually is designed for taking advantage of the boons it produces.
This means that you need to choose the build based on what type of objective you are set out to handle. If it's open world pvp frontline headsmashing then a high toughness, high crit, low critdamage build is the answer. Protection is just situational and inherent toughness is the important part,
If its defending a keep where the frontline door has fallen then a boonduration and toughnessbuild is the answer.
if its protecting your mates who tries to take down a towerdoor then a healbuild with larger long lasting symbols might be the answer, healing with dodges, the staff and placing SoP at the door so our team can work at the door with constant protection.
If your job is to protect a flank on a zerg or you run in a small party then a high crit, high critdamage build with great capabilities to remove conditions on the team is the answer.
The AH/hammer guardian can be all that and so much more, but not at the same time and you need to have multiple gears with you and also a couple of secondary weapons. Staff is the obvious one but I would also always have a scepter and 1h sword+focus available in the inventory
The scepter is kind of obvious but what has the one hand sword to do with anything, well I find the 1h sword to have two huge advantages, first it very quick and has very high single target dps and second it can block a lot and has blinds on really low cd. This makes this weapon a nice semidefensive option to the hammer which lacks almost any means to a successful defense in openworld pvp. In general scepter is better and there are situations in wvw when 1h and hammer are a match made in heaven.
If you like I have a mightstacking hammer/gear and also might stacking 1h and focus this is also the setup to rip small parties to pieces with. 1h+focus (skill 5 might on block, shelter might on block, aegis*3 might on block) builds stacks of might so fast that 15-20 stacks is rather easy to get in a few seconds. And then when you switch to hammer with 60% critchance and 54% critdamage, 20 stacks of might and 3300 in armor its as close to a nuclear charged Leopard MBT you can come and jumping from one opponent to another with MB placing the symbol and then switch target is as close as mayhem you can come, we are talking about 8k of damage per chain+MB here. It is even easier if you add in two fire fields from hallowed ground and purging flames.
In tpvp it's a bit different and you can't achieve the stats you do in wvw/pve so here im ofc first in but I play the game a bit more reserved then I do in wvw. It's more at stake and the opponents are infinite better.
In tpvp the hammer isn't an obvious choice and some might even say it's only good for defending points, well they are both right and wrong. If you gonna play tpvp with the hammer you need to play in a team where it's very clear that the guardian shouldn't ever run alone. This is imo true in general but with a hammer guardian it's almost a must to have a teammate, this weapon and build is so much better in a group setting and if used as a group aoe monster on cappoints with teammates in reach then its definitely viable. Its downside is soloplay hence why I always have either a scepter or a 1h sword as secondary set. I can also admit that sometimes I switch to a 1h setup completely during a fight, if things needs a change, and the fun part is that this build also works relatively well with a pure 1h setup.
In dungeons I favour hammer and 1h sword and the situation dictates if I use a scepter or not. The gameplay isn't as hectic and strategic in dungeons and it's kind of simple to get the team to get inside the symbol or position the boss so I can dodge the way I want. In fact hammer is super easy in pve since all you really have to do is spam skill 1 and traited increased duration on the symbol and dodge once in a while.
There is only one thing to point out here, you play the AH/hammer guardian as you want and without changing build you can actually go full support, full control or full dps and do very well in all aspects. The truth is that you can in fact maintank as well even if Anet hate that word. A full knights guardian can do all that and much more.
One more thing, an elementalist is your best friend, they have tons of combofields and especially water and fire are just supernice. If you want to improve in your gameplay learn how an elementalist works.

18. Recommended stats for it to work
This is almost a cut and paste from the original thread, the only thing that got a major change is heal stats and the reason for that is that pre/vit/heal gear actually works really well with this set up. I also updated some other stat based on my experience based on the new gear I got and tested. The range of valid builds has definitely increased and also the choice of gear has followed that trend.
What stats to look for then?
- 40-60%% crit
- 2800-3400 Attack
- 14k-18k health
- 2400-3300 armour
- 200-1200 heal power
- 51-105% critdamage
04-12-2012, 07:34 #18
19. Builds
Here I will present a number of builds I tried and got to work, some better than others but I find them all to work in a variety in situations.
I won't tell you what runes/sigil to use, that you can find in the text, but I will show the distribution of points I used and that performed well. You also need to make your own choice of weapons and also the utilities/traits you want to use. But if you look at the distribution of points and what utilities/traits I mentioned you will have no issues figuring out valid builds and valid secondary weapons and when to use them.
If needed im willing to make builds and comment on them but as of now I don't have more time to spend on this, hope you understand. But if needed i make the time to improve this chapter radically.
I named the builds after playstyle which also reflect the choice of gear you should try with them.
The bold one
Razors edge
Call a friend
Instead of a spouse to hug
The stupid one (Breaking the doctrine (no inspired virtues) I know but a full out control build should be possible as well and its an acceptable excuse for breaking it)
The egotrip
This one also serves very well as a AH build for 1h and Scepter and a very nice setup on these weapons are might on swap and life steel on crit with lifesteal food.
If you look at these distributions you will find that they have almost the same overall dps or it can be balanced with gear and still they do very different jobs.
It kind of amazing that the last "build" looks very much as a tanky build and that hits like a noodle but with the gear I suggested it will not hit like a noodle, it will be a killer and a great supporter.

20. Final words
Frankly people need to stop and think that tanky healbuilds are good support and high dps builds with almost the same heals, better control and much higher dps is in any way or form bad supporters.
In fact what I learned in this game during beta, bwe and launch is that healbots are a waste of space and heals are the worst kind of support. Boons and utility is what matters and there is no need to build tanks in order to keep the boons flowing.
I would go so far to say that I feel almost sick in wvw when I see a staffguardian standing in the back and contributing with mediocre heals, yes a hammer guardian in the front is also the best healer around with a coordinated elementalist and waterfields, and I find it to be a mediocre use of the profession.
At the same time this is a game and people can play whatever way they enjoy it the most but it's a huge misconception that the wow stylish gameplay in fact is beneficial when in most cases it in fact makes the the team one man short, the guardian. There are a couple of threads in the forum that defends this type of gameplay and I just stay out of them as long it's not a teammate or a guildie stating it, then im obligated to help out, as of now I can only hope people read this guide to the end and understands it. You don't have to agree with it, understanding is more than enough.
I hope you enjoyed this guide and that you take the time to give positive and negative feedback and ofc post if you want it as a sticky.

21. Killing the myth of low dps on the hammer.
Average killtimes on medium golem in the mist, naked and untraited with purple weapons.
Skill 1
1h sword 51s
Mace 82s
Scepter 77s
GS 60s
Staff 95s
Hammer 51s
The reason why hammer is so strong it that it actually hits at least 7 times and procc burn once or twice on every chain and ofc the symbol and that the third hit hits hard, really hard.
If we use symbol+chain om Mace, GS and hammer (still only skill 1) and we apply the symbol whenever its off cd then average killtimes are:
Mace: 61s
GS: 60s
Hammer still 51s ofc
If we add in ww, mb and ZD as well we get this:
GS 51s
1h 46s
Hammer still 51s
This also means that when traited with 2h mastery GS will improve somewhat compared to hammer on single targets and the killtime is 48 seconds.
On the other hand when you trait writs then it will improves hammer more then GS and make it possible to have 24/7 uptime on aoe.
Add to this that the symbol on hammer has about 400 in ranges as well.
So for single targets 1h sword is the best, why i use one in tpvp btw and why its really nice combined with hammer whihc is weaker on single targets.
If you want a hybrid of single target and aoe then GS is an option.
22. Animations skipping, Ninjaskipping and Evasive Skipping
Basically there is two ways to shorten animationlength on the hammer but they have different benefits.
The first one is what we from now on call "ninjaskipping". And what you do is that when you do the chainattack you time a dodge just when the second step hits. To be accurate its 1200 ms into the animation. If this is done perfectly it will give the impression that you infact dodge first and hit slightly after your dodge started.
As the dodge starts you then press one and activate the third step whch will abort the dodge. If this is done properly a huge chunk of the third step animation, and part of the second step as well, will be skipped which results in a much faster 3third chain.
This generates higher attackspeed and increased dps.
But also:
animation skipping in dungeons is great, because it allows you to use evade for heal, without rolling all over the place. This is illustrated in the gif-image below.
Ninja skipping
The second way to skip parts of the animation is to time a dodge at the end of the third step, from now on we will call it evasive skipping. Once again if done properly it will appear as you dodge and still hit the opponent while dodging. If done perfectly this will mean that the dodge and chain will take just as much time as just a single chain without dodging.
The benefits are ofc that you can dodge, opponent cant hit you, out of reach, opponent cant hit you, and exploit the the aoe from might blow. So basically you dodge away from and/or towards a secondary target and then bounce back in with MB. When practicing this the keypoint is to aim the dodge so it fulfills your purpose in the next move. Towwards the opponent if you want to stay close and away fo you want to create a gap. Both of them can be offensive and densive.
Evasive skipping
Both ways are best tested at the dummies in Lions Arch and when you start out to test/practice this, use autoattack so you can focus solely on the dodge and to time that right.
Imo ninjaskipping has a much higher sucessrate if you dodge sideways or towards the target, evasive skipping can be done either way.
When you start to get the hang of it you can drop the autoattack and start doing it manually.
not that in real combat you will have much more endurance which pretty much points out why critchance is very important.
Both types of skipping are done on your own risk, at the present date we dont know if this is intended use of the hammer or if its considered an exploit.

First Ever Tivoli Audio Store Opens in Boston
Sneak Peek
- Location: Natick, Massachusetts and online
- Website: tivoliaudio.com
While companies like Wired and Cool Hunting have been opening pop-up shops this season, Tivoli Audio (previously an online-only retailer) has decided to set down more permanent roots. Reader Nicole tipped us off to the opening of their first-ever brick and mortar store in the company's hometown of Boston.
Although Tivoli products have long been available through retail dealers and through their online shop, this represents their first permanent showroom, where all their products are on view in one place. The store opened on Black Friday — 11/26/2010 — in the Natick Collection, an upscale shopping mall just outside of Boston.
Tivoli specializes in radios, stereos, and audio systems for the home, and they're one of the few electronics companies that offers a 30-day in-home trial period. For a peek inside their inventory, click through the photos shown above and linked below.
Any first-hand reviews of Tivoli products? Share them in the comments.
• Tivoli Store at the Natick Collection
• Capellinni Model One Radio in Green, $290
• Platinum Series Model One Radio, $200
• Songbook, $200
• Music System, $1,000
• Model One Radio, $150
• Networks Stereo with FM, $750
• RadioCombo, $600
• iYiYi iPod Stereo System, $400
• iPal iPod Player, $220

Sadly, my PAL has not held up the way I was expecting (based on the reputation of Tivoli products). The rubber outer case is peeling and the volume knob is very scratchy (horrible static when you adjust it).
A while back I contacted Tivoli about it. They offered to replace the unit (even out of warranty). I did not send it out right away (in the middle of a multi-state move). When I tried to send it, the service rep that made the offer was no longer there, and Tivoli would not honor it (even though I had the original email with the offer). I could sent it in and pay for parts/repair, but I am tired of dealing with it. Not good durability or service for a $200+ radio.
I also had a used Model 2 (with CD) for a few months. My Boston Acoustics SOLO clock radio ate it alive (sound wise), and for a fraction of the price!
Yes....I am a little bitter.
@scitech Look for something called Volume Knob Cleaner, they sell it at radio shack I think.
It's happened with all my Tivoli radios, google seems to agree it's a pretty common problem.
I've owned the Model 2 and the PAL and I still like their product.
I hit it with Caig De-Oxit, but no change:(

Service and delivery comments:
I pre-ordered an extremely popular PUMA hat in October or November hoping it would arrive before Christmas. Golf Discount contacted me before the holiday to let me know that unfortunately the hat would not be in before Christmas and asked if I wanted to cancel the order or wait until their stock arrived after 1st of year. I said I would wait until after the first of the year & confirmed the color of the hat to make sure what I had ordered was the color I thought it would be - no problem. I would use it for a birthday gift instead of Christmas. They finally received their stock and sent my order. Unfortunately, the hat arrived in the wrong color. I contacted Nick about the issue & he apologized and said he would check with his warehouse about getting the proper hat sent. His stock was out but he went the extra mile and contacted his PUMA rep about getting the correct one sent directly to me because he didn't want me to have to wait any longer than I already had. He continued to update me on the status of his PUMA contact and if the correct hat could be sent and when. I received the correct hat after a few days and was easily able to return the incorrect order without any extra costs to me. Nick was fantastic and very helpful - I will definitely order from Golf Discount again even though it took a bit to get my order but that's how it works when some items are so popular. I feel like I received personal service and Nick really cared about making everything right.

The Ripple Effect
How manufacturing and retail executives view the growing challenge of supply chain risk
Download the report: "The ripple effect."
Supply chains are becoming highly sophisticated and vital to the competitiveness of many companies. But their interlinked, global nature also makes them increasingly vulnerable to a range of risks.
A number of internal and external forces are converging to raise the risk ante for global supply chains. Some are macro trends such as globalization and global connectivity, which can make supply chains more complex and amplify the impact of problems that may arise. Others stem from the push to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. Although trends such as lean manufacturing, just-in-time inventory, reduced product lifecycles, outsourcing, and supplier consolidation have yielded compelling business benefits, they have also introduced new kinds of supply chain risk and reduced the margin for error.
In mid-2012, Deloitte which was recently named a Vanguard Leader, based on capabilities, by Kennedy in Supply Chain Risk Management Consulting* surveyed 600 executives at manufacturing and retail companies to understand their perceptions of the impacts and causes of these risks, the actions they are taking to address them, and the continuing challenges they face. Respondents represented large and small companies in a variety of industries, and from countries around the globe, with the majority located in North America, Europe and China.
The survey's key findings include:
- Supply chain risk is a strategic issue.
- Margin erosion and sudden demand changes often cause larger impacts.
- Concern about extended value chain.
- Supply chain risk management not normally considered effective.
- Companies face a wide variety of challenges.
- Many companies lack latest tools.

text: I hear what you guys are saying. I have already talked to the sheriff and Fish and Game. Sheriff said to talk to the people hunting out here, and if I got any crap out of them, to call them. Fish and game said they'd see what could be done on their end as far as punishment if I found the guy. Got everyone in the area keeping an eye out, and every landowner ready to prosecute for tresspassing on anyone that is. Eventually, we'll catch this scumbag. Not one single dog out here is penned or tied up, that's one reason we all live in the country. Now, everyone is keeping an eye out.

Any help please I am unable to rotate a picture I have uploaded, On entering edit suite and selecting 180 degrees nothing happens.
Sorry if I have not made this clear the Query is about the gallery on this site.
An e/mail to the web managers has not brought a reply yet.
Hi once the image is loaded go to image tools and edit then you can rotate it
Thanks Wave ,the problem I had was that the system in the edit section would not rotate my image.
Solution in the end was to delete the image,then take the shot again holding the camera upside down then upload the new image. A bit around the houses but it worked..
Thanks again .Mike (hartley3530
You cannot be serious Mike
Yes Phil very serious, when I rotated it in my own software, and uploaded it, the image displayed was in the original orientation,when i tried to invert it with the site editing it would not rotate 180 degrees. Some thing to do with Panasonic NEF image being processed with Nikon software.

Quick question: aren't most of these SNK games available on virtual console? Are they emulated well on there?

I would buy this IF I was guaranteed that more "new" games would come out for it down the road. I would never support a completely dead system, SNK should try and create a few new games that are better than current phones, but not as high-end as vita/3ds games. I know people would buy a GOOD solid game - case in point, the older NDS castlevanias, stuff like that would work well on this type of system. You dont have to have the best graphics, to have a great fun little game.
There are some newer Neo Geo games, developed and published by NG: DEV.TEAM, but not officially licensed. These games were released for Dreamcast, Neo Geo MVS and AES (very expensive for the cartridge versions). I doubt you would ever see these ported "officially" to the Neo Geo X system, as SNK had nothing to do with developing or approving them. Here is the website for NG: DEV.TEAM:
Other than that, I doubt we'll EVER see any "new" Neo Geo games in the future; not sure SNK even has the staff to produce any games of this style, anymore.

Just saw this video on Kotaku http://kotaku.com/59...long-and-clicky
Clicky? I see that they amended the article, but I don't understand how they didnt realize the "clicky" is one of the unique features to the Neo Geo?
Those clicky Neo Geo sticks were some of the most responsive I have ever used. The pads, also clicky, were perfect for fighting games, and the Neo Geo Pocket stick was also accurate and responsive. To be honest, if these things didn't click, I probably would have felt I wasn't playing a real Neo Geo.

People would really spend $200 on this? Seems like you need more money than you have sense to buy this for $200..that is Nexus 7 territory if you want to think of the technology difference at the same price point. Sure the Neo Geo was a fun system but you have to be insane to spend $200 on one these days.
Enjoy playing crappy emulators..WITHOUT CONTROLS.
The entire point of this device (apart from nostalgia) is it's official emulation paired with Neo Geo controls. Clicky analog stick..
And the base unit is only $130 if you don't care about tv-out, arcade stick or multiplayer.
If it manages to get hacked or has homebrew support, you're looking at the world's best emulation handheld. With HDMI tv-out. Want!
It's $40-cheaper-than 3DS territory, and this is way better than a 3DS. And it comes with 20 games.
Posted 30 September 2012 - 01:52 PM
I e-mailed GS support but am still waiting for a response.
To anyone who pre-ordered in-store: how much $$ did you have to put down to reserve one??
Posted 30 September 2012 - 04:47 PM
Posted 30 September 2012 - 05:21 PM
I'm definitely interested in buying this on launch day. Not sure if it's for me but I like old genesis games, etc. Very cool retro style to them. That's why I think I'll like this.
Just wondering like others what the game support will be. 20 games and all the system accessories for 200 is a killer deal. I doubt I'll ever play multiplayer, but I want those extras. I just hope more games will come out for this system once released.

Clicky analog stick..
It isn't analog - but digital (hence the clicky). It's a very big difference.
Analog sticks don't work terribly well with Neo Geo games, and I would be apprehensive to buy this if it were.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 03:24 PM
People just assume neo-geo carts are expensive but some of the best games can be had for 20 bucks or less in there original mvs format.
Quoted for truth.
I remember getting a box of 22 legit MVS games for about $220 shipped on ebay. Getting a consolized MVS is the way to go if you don't have the room for a cabinet.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 05:56 PM
They also added some information under the "History" link that includes some nice scans of flyers for the Neo Geo home system and games, plus they added descriptions of the games that come loaded on the handheld with purchase (under "Games"). Check the main Neo Geo X site for updates:
The box looks pretty nice; still waiting to hear if the handheld will be switchable to 4:3 aspect ratio, and whether other games (on physical cards) are planned for the future.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 06:28 PM
Posted 02 October 2012 - 06:35 PM
The handheld is 16x9 but the games are 4x3 correct wont they look stretched?
They would looked stretched. Hopefully there is an option to play the games at the original aspect ratio. I wonder why they're using a 16:9 screen in the first place.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 07:27 PM
They would looked stretched. Hopefully there is an option to play the games at the original aspect ratio. I wonder why they're using a 16:9 screen in the first place.
Probably because they just repurposed one of the other existing Blaze handhelds for this use. It's also probably pretty tough to get mobile screens in 4:3 since most device manufacturers are using 16:9 screens nowadays and any 4:3 content can simply be black barred if needed.

Clicky stick*. Can't help but pull out my Pocket every once in a while just to play with the stick.
Considering that the unit from Famitsu just says 'NeoGeo' on the front and the box the same, almost seems like they're dropping the X moniker.

Heh, I actually still have all of my advertisements and a few move list cards that SNK sent me back in the day when I had my Neo Neo, I got to speak with Gamelord aka Chad Okada on many occasion while getting a complete moves list from him over the phone mind ya for KoF '94. (still have that wrote down in a notebook somewhere)
Funny thing is they got to know me pretty well back in the day since I used to call SNK corp. HQ quite a bit to get news, information, those flyers, etc. Nice people and friendly company back in the day.

Creamy Adsuki Bean Pie
Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 Entry #21
Recipe: Joanna's Creamy Adsuki Bean Pie
Category: Original
Another bean pie! We already had one pie made from beans in this Bakeoff, and it piqued our interest. We were curious whether anyone else made a bean pie, and Joanna responded with her own recipe that marries her love of adsuki beans with her love for pie.
Read on for her recipe (with another very unusual ingredient, besides the beans, in her pie filling) and great photos of her pie dough process.
Where is this recipe from? This recipe came from my love for adsuki bean desserts and my love for pies. One day I decided to put the two together and it has become a must have pie for me.
Why is this the BEST pie recipe you've got? This is the Best pie recipe I have because it combines my two favorite things. And it's not always easy to find adsuki bean dessert but this is a super easy recipe to make.
Creamy Adsuki Bean Pie
Ingredients (Cooked Adsuki Beans):
1 small bag of adsuki beans (about 2 cups)
4 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon orange zest
Ingredients (pie crust):
3 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
8 oz of sourcream
3 tablespoons of milk
Ingredients (pie filling):
2 cups cooked adsuki beans
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 large eggs
4 scoops (about 1 3/4 cups) creamy vanilla icecream slightly softened
Instructions (cooked adsuki beans):
Soak adsuki beans in a bowl of water for a couple of hours or overnight. Rinse the beans with clean water a couple of times. Put beans in pot with 4 cups of water, brown sugar and orange zest. Bring to a broil and reduce heat to simmer. Cook beans until tender. The beans should be whole for the most part but very tender. Most of the moisture should be gone.
Instructions (pie crust):
Mix together flour, sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, mix in butter until it resembles course crumbs. Mix in sourcream and milk and knead until it forms into a ball of dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes. Knead a couple of times on a floured board. Roll the dough out into a circular shape. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and lay onto the pie pan. Piece holes into the pie crust with a fork 5-6 times. Blind bake for 10 minutes in a 350 oven.
Instructions (pie filling):
Blend adsuki beans, sugar and eggs until smooth in a food processor or with a hand blender in a large bowl. Add vanilla and ice cream and blend until smooth. Pour into pie crust and bake at 350 until the center has solidified. About 50 minutes to an hour. Let cool and refrigerate.

So the ice cream is basically replacing making a custard? This is a custard based bean pie?
This is a custard type filling. But since eggs are used in addition to the ice cream, it is not a replacement for the custard. I simply didn't have heavy cream when I was making this but still wanted the red beans to be creamy and decided that ice cream could be a subsitute. It works really well so I never went back to using heavy cream since I don't always have it on hand. But if you do have ice cream you can use heavy cream (I would guess about 1 cup) or one can of condensed milk (just do without the sugar in the recipe if you are using sweeten condensed milk).
Also I forgot to mention that the recipe yields two pies. Bake both and you can keep one in the freezer for red bean craving emergencies.
Thanks-- I wondered about the amounts, as 4 scoops is pretty imprecise. I can't say I have any red bean cravings. This sounds like it tastes sweet.
Well I do have Azuki bean cravings and this sounds wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!

Using 2012's Color of the Year at Home
Designers Palette
Late last year, Pantone pronounced that the color of the year for 2012 is a bright reddish orange called Tangerine Tango. In our post announcing the news, the comment thread included more cheers than jeers, so it looks like orange remains in place as an eminently acceptable dose of happy color to add to your interiors. We've gathered together some inspiration pics, paint color swatches and more - think of it as a 2012 color kickoff starter kit...
Tangerine Tango-type...
Inspiration photos:
1. An allover orange kitchen in California is a showstopper room in Steven's Relocated Beach Cottage.
2. No more boring bedding! Take a cue from Alison's Creative, Colorful Craft-Filled Home.
3. High color goes high gloss in this next wave of style room from Lonny, Sept-Oct 2011.
4. A custom sofa looks amazing against this chalky blue wall via Christopher Stuart.
5. This orangey red works wonderfully on an accent piece such as this cocktail table found at Erinn V Style.
Paint colors:
6. Benjamin Moore 2013-10 - Outrageous Orange
7. Sherwin Williams Fireworks SW6867
8. Valspar Richly Red WV36015
9. Ralph Lauren Bold Orange IB63
10. Behr Volcanic Blast S-G-210

I've had my fill of orange.....looks like last year
cute table. but what a color commitment to something that could be 'out' in a year.
I always like orange, though this one seems a little saturated and too reddish for my tastes, but it's still pretty (just not for my house). This may sound awful but I usually use the color of the year as my clue what NOT to buy, hehe.
I for one love the color! Supposedly orange has been in it's trend demise for the last 8 years - it doesn't look that way to me... Besides, who cares where it is trend wise - as long as you love go for it!
Yeah, orange is so overdone now, maybe because it fits with the mid-century thing, which I know everyone loves, but I am tired of looking at it.
Great images! I agree with furniture4evr-who cares.
I have that martini side table in orange next to my son's bunkbed and he loves it! We are Auburn, Bears, & Cubs fans so orange is good at our house all the time!
does anyone know where to get the airplane print?!
YVRguy - the artist for the aircraft artwork is listed in the house tour as Jeffrey Milstein
Jeffery Milstein
I love the notion that colors can be out or "look like last year". That people could walk into my house and whisper to each other "Will you LOOK at these walls? SO 2011. My eyes! My eyes!"
Colors are colors, if I like it I like it. Sometimes I regret the color I paint, but oh well, I'll still take all the help I can get, thank you.
Orange is my least favorite color. It's okay as an accent, but I can't imagine being smacked by it first thing with my morning coffee. It's also the color that jails and prisons now don't use in their prisoner's uniforms because it is too stimulating and encourages aggression. I'll be glad when it faaaaaades away.
This color will never find a place in my home or my closet. I have an aversion to things orange!
That is a sign!!!
Just this morning we were talking about painting one of our kitchen walls in orange- love this color!
what a beautiful post!
i will never get sick of orange! it's a fabulous and energetic hue.
I loved the color last year. This one, YUCK!
That orange kitchen actually hurts my eyes.
How odd... cb2 is carrying their parlour chair in both tangerine and atomic orange. (Since one can't trust photos to be consistent,) I wonder if anyone's seen them both in person yet, since I'd imagine they would be pretty similar?
Warm color, warm heart.
I love orange, but these kitchens are blah. I think it's because the orange needs something to contrast with, otherwise the effect is monotonous.
Here is my current favorite example of orange- a more reddish hue from Wayne's "Warm Retro" Room from the Color Cure- it's stunning against the mint:
Maybe this helps with the orange thing: I like orange -- after all, it's an innocent color, just doing its thing. But I don't look good wearing orange (pink is good, salmon is okay), so I would not use orange in my home because it would influence my look, just as much as an orange sweater would. In someone else's home, it would be smashing....just keep me off the orange sofa or in the chair next to the orange wall! EllaR
I think the problem with orange is what you pair it with. Next to straight white it screams "creamsicle," like red with straight white says "Santa." I'd put it with a warm, maybe a little towards green.
A warm GRAY, that is....
It's one of my favorite colors, and always an attention-getter. Idea: a vibrantly printed tea towel is an easy way to add that hit of orange to brighten up a kitchen :) http://studiopatro.blogspot.com/2012/01/color-of-year.html
uh yeah.. no. not sure how they decided.. but to me its a throw back to the 1970s. no thanks.
I'm painting my double front doors orange...
Is it too much that I did a similar color with a turquoise-like color two years ago? Too much for some, but in my house with little direct sunlight it brightened things up and I love it!!
Consumerism at its best. Use the colors you like and add what you feel is better for you, whether it is orange or red or blue, etc.
In fashion or not, orange is a favourite of mine!
Looks great!
One of my fav orange/ red paintings:
To people coming to apartment therapy and sniveling about whatever item is on display and how happy they'll be when said displayed item's trend will end. Please, go jump in a lake.
gorgeous, totally up my alley, not one negative comment, this is a very cheery well thought out design, bravo...........Ps I love the Corten steel fireplace set up
I like orange. Some of my favorite outfits combine orange and turquoise. But I think it works best in warm places like Florida, with lots of citrus colors. It doesn't seem too New England.
Thank you!

Big Ten Title Coach Salutes State's Veterans
By Randy York
A two-time National Coach of the Year, an eight-time Big 12 Coach of the Year and the 2012 Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year was showing prospective women's gymnastics recruits and their families Nebraska's second-to-none facilities Friday. Dan Kendig and Husker assistant coaches Heather Brink, Dan Miller and Owen Field could sense the hubbub in the hallways of the Dick and Peg Herman Family Student Life Complex.
Make no mistake. Every Husker coach is excited about the opportunity of getting introduced during the initial first-quarter break of Saturday's Nebraska-Penn State football game. Whenever recruits can see more than 85,000 fans salute a team that won the 2012 Big Ten championship, they know how committed to excellence Husker Nation is.
"It's a tremendous honor to be recognized for a job well done," said Kendig, whose team won the 2011 Big 12 title in the Huskers' last year in the league and then captured the 2012 championship in their first year in the Big Ten.
Honoring Veterans Who Defend Our Freedom
"That's great, and we are proud about winning both titles, but to be honest, that pales in comparison to the people we honor Saturday," Kendig said. "Sunday is Veterans Day. We're playing in Memorial Stadium, and that means a lot when you can honor people who have made this country what it is. We honor all the veterans from the past and all who continue to fight for our freedom.
"Sometimes, I just think that we all take things like that for granted, and that should never, ever, be the case," Kendig said. "Without the efforts of all of our service men and women – past, present and future – who knows what our country would be?"
Kendig is patriotic and eager to experience another Nebraska Veterans Day Military Salute. "Nebraskans take pride in Nebraskans," he said. "It doesn't matter if you're a Husker from Scottsbluff, Lincoln or Omaha. We take pride in what veterans have done for us and what they've provided for our country. When you live in Nebraska, you feel that pride. I'm sure there are great things planned for Saturday, and I can't wait for the flyover. That's one of my favorite parts of every Veterans Day Salute."

Comments about Especially Yours Teri Wig by Motown Tress™:
Well, "she" (Teri) arrived today 11-20-13. I did a quick all over brush then tried it on and it's perfect for me, with a modern and natural look. GIRLS, this hair is shoulder-length wavy and does not remotely have those crazy-looking curls as seen in the photo. Note to EY, I love ya, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE re-photograph this wig. The current picture looks like a throwback to 1975. One can do soooo much more with this wig, I certainly can.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Never judge a book by its cover
Already have this but ordering it in another color for daily office wear. I style/"hook up" all my wigs, so I knew I could do something with this one. I brushed out the curls, washed the hair and let air dry. Voila, wavy hair with body and very natural looking. I trimmed a little on the length, because once curls are out, it falls below shoulders. For some, it might be too much but you have to make it work for you.
