Dennis Kiel, a former board member of the Cincinnati Film Society and is now chief curator of The Light Factory: Contemporary Museum of Photography and Film quotes, "Dale Stevens who wrote for the Cincinnati Post had a blurb in the paper that anyone who was interested in starting a film society should meet at the (Methodist?) church on the corner of Observatory and Grace. The first few meetings were held there and the initial board (the founding members) was created."
Dale Stevens (June 17th 1921- Jan 5th 1997) was the force behind the creation of the Cincinnati Film Society. Thus began the incorporation of the Cincinnati Film Society in 1979.
The Cincinnati Film Society is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1979. It's purpose is to encourage the appreciation of film as an art form by providing opportunities to view foreign, classic, and other films, and by bringing together film devotees to learn about and discuss film.
The Cincinnati Film Society's intent is to offer films that are entertaining, significant and stimulating. The Society often features personal appearances of filmmakers with their films. Among those have been Michael Moore with Roger and Me, John Sayles who showed and discussed Matewan, Gregory Nava with his Oscar-winning El Norte, Wayne Wang with Dim Sum, Tom Hayes with People and the Land and Steve Gebhardt with Bill Monroe, Father of Bluegrass Music.
In 1992, the CFS presented a retrospective of the work of the British filmmaker Lindsay Anderson (now deceased) who discussed each work with the audience during the ten-day event. In the past avant-garde filmmaker Stan Brakhage made an appearance in support of a major retrospective of his work as well.
The society has often co-sponsored films with other arts groups, including the Cincinnati Jewish Federation, the Contemporary Arts Center, the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission, Media Working Group, the former Arts Consortium, Cincinnati CityBeat Weekly, Wright State University, the Cincinnati Art Academy, Hebrew Union College, the University of Cincinnati Film Society, Xavier University, Media Bridges Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Art Museum, and the Conference For Women. The Society has in the past presented approximately 40 films each season to members from Greater Cincinnati and from surrounding cities in Kentucky and Indiana. It is the goal of the society to continue continue on this path and grow.
The Cincinnati Film Society has been funded in parts by grants from the Ohio Arts Council, the Cincinnati Institute for Fine Arts and the City of Cincinnati.

Wack Ink: 10 WORST Celebrity Tattoos [Photo Gallery]
- By Bossip Staff Categories: Entertainment, For Discussion, For Your Information
We live in a YOLO-society where attention-thirsty folks scribble permanent ink on their face, forehead and neck with no regrets. At the time, it probably seemed like a great idea when, in reality, it was the dumbest idea ever that will haunt them as they get older, wrinklier and less relevant.
Here are the ten WORST celebrity tattoos EVER. Take a look.

Mayor Jerry Sanders enters 2008 with San Diego's financial condition steadily improving, but with enormous challenges still looming. By late spring, the city should complete its overdue financial statements, recover its credit rating on Wall Street and regain its ability to issue municipal bonds at favorable rates. This is a very significant milestone, but one that will be reached only if the City Council and City Attorney Mike Aguirre play their part in wrapping up the still-outstanding 2006 audit. Completion of the 2005 audit was delayed needlessly by eight weeks because of Aguirre's obstructionist maneuvers.
Once upon a time, Solana Beach cut a deal to allow the train station to move from Del Mar. It's worth reviewing that deal as Cedros Crossing, a train station project, comes before the Solana Beach City Council for a vote Wednesday on an environmental report. Some $30 million in public money – transportation money other cities coveted – was used to lower the tracks through Solana Beach, avoiding traffic interruptions and train whistles.
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Adoor-to-door canvasser here for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) told me all during the weekend before Tuesday's primary that his team was encountering independent voters torn between Clinton and Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).
SACRAMENTO – Facing the excruciating pain of a $14 billion budget deficit, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has prescribed spending-cap medicine that would allow him to unilaterally cut state spending. Schwarzenegger argues that autopilot spending formulas written into law cause a chronic budget deficit, and that without changing those formulas, neither he nor the Legislature can ever balance the budget.
Exactly what happened to Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire? Was it a makeover or a mirage? Could it be that she figured out that voters pick a president with their heart, as much as with their head, and so she decided to appear softer and more vulnerable?

Mayhem # 1947047
About MeWhen not doing my regular 9-to-5 job, I enjoy long walks on the beach, deep conversations about the meaning of life...ok not really. I do, however, love to express myself through mediums that promote creativity. I have been into costuming/performing for over ten years, and have taken the plunge into modeling within the last several.With my sewing and costuming history, I have access to many types of props, wigs, and (given enough notice) custom made outfits. I am interested in building my portfolio, and growing as a model. I have a special love of the pinup style, as well a vintage photography. I am open to a wide range of shooting, however, so if you have a unique idea, please send me a message! Please note I am very professional. Always on time, and will give plenty of notice if I cannot make a shoot. Friends |

In closing, I've got to admit to you that Encore isn't my favorite album you've kicked out; it just doesn't have the fire in it that The Marshall Mathers LP has. For that matter, The Eminem Show was a little lackluster, too -- but don't sweat it, dog. I understand Encore is expected to be the biggest selling album worldwide, and that's really saying something for a bleached-blond gay kid from 8 Mile.

Tornado climatology
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: article is repetitive, and ungrammatical in key sentences; technical details are not explained. (September 2010) |
The United States has the most tornadoes of any country, as well as the strongest and most violent tornadoes. This is mostly due to the unique geography of the continent and the size of the country. North America is a large continent that extends from the tropics north to arctic areas, and has no major east-west mountain range to block air flow between these two areas. In the middle latitudes, where most tornadoes of the world occur, the Rocky Mountains block moisture and buckle the atmospheric flow, forcing drier air at mid-levels of the troposphere due to downslope winds, and causing cyclogenesis downstream to the east of the mountains. Downslope winds off the Rockies force the formation of a dry line when the flow aloft is strong, while the Gulf of Mexico fuels abundant low-level moisture. This unique topography allows for frequent collisions of warm and cold air, the conditions that breed strong, long-lived storms throughout the year. A large portion of these tornadoes form in an area of the central United States known as Tornado Alley.[1] This area extends into Canada, particularly Ontario and the Prairie Provinces. Strong tornadoes also occur in northern Mexico.
The United States averaged 1,274 tornadoes per year in the last decade. Canada reports nearly 100 annually in the southern regions.[2] However, the UK probably has most tornadoes per area per year, 0.14 per 1000 km².[3] The Netherlands have a similar number of tornadoes per area. In absolute number of events, ignoring area, the UK experiences more tornadoes (excluding waterspouts) than any other European country.
Other areas of the world that have frequent tornadoes include significant portions of Europe, Australia, South Africa, and parts of Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil, along with New Zealand, and far eastern Asia.[4][5]
The severity of tornadoes is commonly measured by the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which scales tornado intensity from EF0 to EF5 by wind speed and the amount of damage they do to human environments. These judgments are always made after the tornado has dissipated and its damage trail is carefully studied by weather professionals.[citation needed]
Tornadoes are most common in spring and least common in winter.[6] Since autumn and spring are transitional periods (warm to cool and vice versa) there are more chances of cooler air meeting with warmer air, resulting in thunderstorms.[clarification needed] Tornadoes are focused in the right poleward section of landfalling tropical cyclones, which tend to occur in the late summer and autumn. Tornadoes can also be spawned as a result of eyewall mesovortices, which persist until landfall.[7] However, favorable conditions can occur any time of the year.
Tornado occurrence is highly dependent on the time of day, because of solar heating.[8] Worldwide, most tornadoes occur in the late afternoon, between 3 pm and 7 pm local time, with a peak near 5 pm.[9][10][11][12][13] Destructive tornadoes can occur at any time of day, but are most common in the afternoon and early evening. However, the Gainesville Tornado of 1936, one of the deadliest tornadoes in history, occurred at 8:30 am local time, but this is very unusual.[6]
The United States has the most tornadoes of any country. Many of these form in an area of the central United States known as Tornado Alley.[1] This area extends into Canada, particularly Ontario and the Prairie Provinces; however, activity in Canada is less than that of the US.
A large part of South America is characterized by the storms that are formed there during the spring, summer and early fall. These storms often reach the level of supercells (severe storms) and produce intense hailstorms, floods and tornadoes. The recently appointed as the Tornado Corridor (South America) is considered as the second largest in the world in terms of the formation of extreme weather events. It covers most of central Argentina, southern Paraguay, south-central Brazil and Uruguay.
Bangladesh and surrounding areas of eastern India suffer from tornadoes of lesser severity to those in the US. However, these occur with greater recurrence interval, and tend to be under-reported due to the scarcity of media coverage in a third-world country. The annual human death toll from tornadoes in Bangladesh is about 179 deaths per year, which is much greater than in the US. This is likely due to the density of population, poor quality of construction, lack of tornado safety knowledge, and other factors.[14]
Other areas of the world that have frequent strong tornadoes include Germany, Italy, Spain, China and the Philippines. Australia, France, Russia, areas of the Middle East, India, Bangladesh and Japan have a history of multiple damaging tornado events.
Tornadoes in the USA[edit]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (February 2008) |
The United States averaged 1,274 tornadoes per year in the last decade. April 2011 saw the most tornadoes ever recorded for any month in the US National Weather Service's history, 875; the previous record was 542 in one month.[2] It has more tornadoes yearly than any other country and reports more violent (F4 and F5) tornadoes than anywhere else.
Tornadoes are common in many states but are most common to the west of the Appalachian Mountains and to the east of the Rockies. The Atlantic seaboard states - North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia - are also very vulnerable, as well as Florida. The areas most vulnerable to tornadoes are the Southern Plains and Florida, though most Florida tornadoes are relatively weak. The Southern USA is one of the worst affected regions in terms of casualties.
Tornado reports have been officially collated since 1950. These reports have been gathered by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), based in Asheville, North Carolina. A tornado can be reported more than once, such as when a storm crosses a county line and reports are made from two counties.
Common misconceptions[edit]
Some people mistakenly believe that tornadoes only occur in the countryside. This is hardly the case. While it is true that the plains states are the most tornado-prone places in the nation, it should be noted that tornadoes have been reported in every U.S state, including Alaska and Hawaii. One likely reason why tornadoes are so common in the central U.S is because this is where Arctic air first collides with warm tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico where the cold front has not been "weakened" yet. As it heads further east, however, it is possible for the front to lose its strength as it travels over more warm air. Therefore, tornadoes are not as common on the East Coast as they are in the Midwest. However, they have happened on rare occasion, such as the F2 twister that struck the northern suburbs of New York City on July 12, 2006,[15] the EF2 twister in parts of Brooklyn, New York on August 8, 2007 or the F4 tornado that struck La Plata, Maryland on the 28th of April 2002.
Tornadoes can occur west of the continental divide, but they are infrequent and usually relatively weak and short-lived. Recently tornadoes have struck the Pacific coast town of Lincoln City, Oregon (1996); Sunnyvale, California (1998); and downtown Salt Lake City, Utah (1999) (see Salt Lake City Tornado). The California Central Valley is an area of some frequency for tornadoes, albeit of weak intensity. Though tornadoes that occur on the Western Seaboard typically are weak, more powerful, damaging tornadoes can occur, such as a tornado that occurred on May 22, 2008 in Perris, California.[16] More tornadoes occur in Texas than in any other US state.
The state which has the highest number of tornadoes per unit area is Florida, although most of the tornadoes in Florida are weak tornadoes of EF0 or EF1 intensity. A number of Florida's tornadoes occur along the edge of hurricanes that strike the state. The state with the highest number of strong tornadoes per unit area is Oklahoma. The neighboring state of Kansas is another particularly notorious tornado state. It records the most EF4 and EF5 tornadoes in the country.
Tornadoes in Canada[edit]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (June 2011) |
Canada also experiences numerous tornadoes, although fewer than the United States. In Canada, at least 80-100 tornadoes occur annually (with many more likely undetected in large expanses of unpopulated areas), causing tens of millions of dollars in damage.[citation needed] Most are weak F0 or F1 in intensity, but there are on average a few F2 or stronger that touch down each season.
For example, the tornado frequency of Southwestern Ontario is about half that of the most prone areas of the central US plains. The last multiple tornado-related deaths in Canada were caused by a tornado in Ear Falls, Ontario, on July 9, 2009, where 3 died, and the last killer tornado was on August 21, 2011 in Goderich, Ontario. The two deadliest tornadoes on Canadian soil were the Regina Cyclone of June 30, 1912 (28 fatalities) and the Edmonton Tornado of July 31, 1987 (27 fatalities). Both of these storms were rated an F4 on the Fujita scale. The city of Windsor was struck by strong tornadoes four times within a 61-year span (1946, 1953, 1974, 1997) ranging in strength from an F2 to F4. Windsor has been struck by more significant tornadoes than any other city in Canada.[citation needed] Canada's first official F5 tornado struck Elie, Manitoba on June 22, 2007.[17] At least two other tornadoes in Saskatchewan in earlier parts of the 20th century are suspected as F5.[citation needed] Tornadoes are most frequent in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.
Europe has about 300 tornadoes per year[18] – much more than estimated by Alfred Wegener in his classic book Wind- und Wasserhosen in Europa ("Tornadoes and Waterspouts in Europe"). They are most common in June–August, especially in the inlands – rarest in January–March. Strong and violent tornadoes (F3–F5) do occur, especially in some of the interior areas and in the south – but are not as common as in parts of the USA. As in the USA, tornadoes are far from evenly distributed. Europe has some small "tornado alleys" – probably because of frontal collisions as in the south and east of England,[19] but also because Europe is partitioned by mountain ranges like the Alps. Parts of Styria (Steiermark) in Austria may be such a tornado alley, and this county has had at least three F3 tornadoes since 1900.[20] F3 and perhaps one F4 tornado have occurred as far north as Finland.
Since 1900, deadly tornadoes have occurred in Belgium, France, Cyprus, Russia, Poland, Portugal (such as the F3/T7 of Castelo Branco on November 6, 1954, which killed 5 and injured 220), Wales, England, Scotland, Austria, Italy (such as the F5/T10 of Udine-Treviso on July 24, 1930, which killed 23 people,[21]) Malta, and Finland. The 1984 Ivanovo–Yaroslavl outbreak, with more than 400 fatalities and 213 injured, was the century's deadliest tornado or outbreak in Europe. It included at least one F5 and one F4. Europe's perhaps deadliest tornado ever (and probably one of the World's deadliest tornadoes) hit Malta in 1551 (or 1556) and killed about 600.
One notable tornado of recent years was the Birmingham Tornado (UK) which struck Birmingham, United Kingdom, in July 2005. A row of houses was destroyed, but no one was killed. A strong F3 (T7) Tornado hit the small town Micheln in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany on July 23, 2004 leaving 6 people injured and more than 250 buildings massively damaged.[22]
Bangladesh and the eastern parts of India are very exposed to destructive tornadoes causing higher deaths and injuries. They do also occur in e.g. Pakistan and Israel. On April 4, 2006, a rare F2 tornado hit northwestern Israel, causing significant damage and injuries. Bangladesh, Philippines, and Japan has the highest number of reported tornadoes in Asia.
South America[edit]
South America has the hall of tornadoes composed by central and northern Argentina, southern Brazil, Uruguay, and part of Paraguay, considered the second highest frequency tornado region in the world. Argentina has pockets with high tornadic activity, and has the strongest tornadoes in the southern hemisphere like the F5 registred in San Justo, and the tornado outbreak in Buenos Aires with more than 300 tornadoes registered in less than 24 hours. Argentina has the second most tornadoes on the American continent and the world (after the United States) with approximately 300 tornadoes every year depending on the El Niño current, the La Niña current, or neutral year . This region is propitious for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, due to the large size of the Pampas Plain where the cold air from Patagonia and Antarctica, collides with warm, moist air from areas of Brazil, region northern Argentina and Paraguay, this is added to the dry air from the Andes which collide in this region producing intense storms that frequently producing tornadic supercells.[23] A study of NASA found to the strongest storm occur in the east of the Andes Mountains in Argentina
Notable South American Tornados[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (April 2014) |
On September 16, 1816, one of the first tornados recorded destroyed the town of Rojas (240 km west of the city of Buenos Aires)[24] On September 20, 1926, an EF4 tornado struck the city of Encarnación (Paraguay) and killed over 300 people, making it the second deadliest tornado in South America.[25] On 21 April 1970, an F4 struck Fray Marcos in Uruguay and killed 11, making it the strongest in Uruguay's history.[26] On January 10, 1973, an F5 struck the city of San Justo, Argentina, 105 km north of the city of Santa Fe. The San Justo tornado is considered the worst tornado ever to occur in the Southern Hemisphere, with winds that exceeded 400 km/h.[27] On May 6, 1992, the people of López Station, Argentina were devastated by an EF4 tornado that caused 4 deaths among the 150 residents. On April 13, 1993, the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina) was impacted by the largest tornado outbreak in South American history. More than 300 tornadoes were recorded over 24 hours with intensities ranging from F1 to F3.[28] On October 28, 1978, an EF4 tornado with winds of 270 km/h hit the city of Mortars in the province of Córdoba, killing 5 people.[29] On December 26, 2003 the 2003 Córdoba Tornado struck 6 km west of Córdoba's city center. It was rated an F3 with winds exceeding 300 km/h, killing 5 and injuring hundreds.[30] On the night of September 7, 2009, an EF4 tornado destroyed the town of San Pedro, Argentina (Misiones), killing 11 people. The same tornado hit the nearby town of Guaraciaba, Brazil, killing 6. The neighboring towns Veloso Santo and Santa Cecilia were seriously damaged and were declared in a state of emergency.[31]
Tornadoes do occur in South Africa. In October 2011 (i.e. in the spring), two people were killed and nearly 200 were injured after a tornado formed. Near Ficksburg in the Free State, more than 1,000 shacks and houses were flattened.[32]
Australia has about 16 tornadoes per year - excluding waterspouts, which are common.[33] In New Zealand, a tornado hit the northern suburbs of Auckland on May 3, 2011, killing one and injuring at least 16 people.
Frequency of occurrence[edit]
Tornadoes can form in any month, providing the conditions are favorable. For example, a freak tornado hit South St. Louis County Missouri on December 31, 2010, causing pockets of heavy damage to a modest area before dissipating. The temperature was unseasonably warm that day. They are least common during the winter and most common in spring. Since autumn and spring are transitional periods (warm to cool and vice versa) there are more chances of cooler air meeting with warmer air, resulting in thunderstorms. Tornadoes in the late summer and fall can also be caused by hurricane landfall.
Not every thunderstorm, supercell, squall line, or tropical cyclone will produce a tornado. Precisely the right atmospheric conditions are required for the formation of even a weak tornado. On the other hand, 700 or more tornadoes a year are reported in the contiguous United States.
On average, the United States experiences 100,000 thunderstorms each year, resulting in more than 1,200 tornadoes and approximately 50 deaths per year. The deadliest U.S. tornado recorded is the March 18, 1925, Tri-State Tornado that swept across southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois and southern Indiana, killing 695 people. The biggest tornado outbreak on record—with 353 tornadoes over the course of just 3 1/2 days, including four F5 and eleven F4 tornadoes—occurred starting on April 25, 2011 and intensifying on April 26 and especially the record-breaking day of April 27 before ending on April 28. It is named properly, April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak but often called the second Super Outbreak. Previously, the record was 148 tornadoes, dubbed the (original) Super Outbreak. Another such significant storm system was the Palm Sunday tornado outbreak of 1965, which affected the United States Midwest on April 11, 1965. A series of continuous tornado outbreaks is known as a tornado outbreak sequence, with significant occurrences in May 1917, 1930, 1949, and 2003.
Time of occurrence[edit]
Tornado occurrence is highly dependent on the time of day. [8] Austria, Finland, Germany, and the United States'[34] peak hour of occurrence is 5 p.m., with roughly half of all tornado occurrence between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time,[35][36] due to this being the time of peak atmospheric heating, and thus the maximum available energy for storms; some researchers, including Howard B. Bluestein of the University of Oklahoma, have referred to this phenomenon as "five o'clock magic." Despite this, there are several morning tornadoes reported, like the Seymour, Texas one in April 1980.
The time of year is a big factor of the intensity and frequency of tornadoes. On average, in the United States as a whole, the month with the most tornadoes is May, followed by the months June, April, and July. There is no "tornado season" though, as tornadoes, including violent tornadoes and major outbreaks, can and do occur anywhere at any time of year if favorable conditions develop. Major tornado outbreaks have occurred in every month of the year.
July is the peak month in Austria, Finland, and Germany.[37] On average, there are around 294 tornadoes throughout the United States during the month of May, and as many as 543 tornadoes have been reported in the month of May alone (in 2003). The months with the fewest tornadoes are usually December and January, although major tornado outbreaks can and sometimes do occur even in those months. In general, in the Midwestern and Plains states, springtime (especially the month of May) is the most active season for tornadoes, while in the far northern states (like Minnesota and Wisconsin), the peak tornado season is usually in the summer months (June and July). In the colder late autumn and winter months (from early December to late February), tornado activity is generally limited to the southern states, where it is possible for warm Gulf of Mexico air to penetrate.
The reason for the peak period for tornado formation being in the spring has much to do with temperature patterns in the U.S. Tornadoes often form when cool, polar air traveling southeastward from the Rockies overrides warm, moist, unstable Gulf of Mexico air in the eastern states. Tornadoes therefore tend to be commonly found in front of a cold front, along with heavy rains, hail, and damaging winds. Since both warm and cold weather are common during the springtime, the conflict between these two air masses tends to be most common in the spring. As the weather warms across the country, the occurrence of tornadoes spreads northward. Tornadoes are also common in the summer and early fall because they can also be triggered by hurricanes, although the tornadoes caused by hurricanes are often much weaker and harder to spot. Winter is the least common time for tornadoes to occur, since hurricane activity is virtually non-existent at this time, and it is more difficult for warm, moist maritime tropical air to take over the frigid Arctic air from Canada, occurrences are found mostly in the Gulf states and Florida during winter (although there have been some notable exceptions). Interestingly, there is a second active tornado season of the year, late October to mid-November. Autumn, like spring, is a time of the year when warm weather alternates with cold weather frequently, especially in the Midwest, but the season is not as active as it is during the springtime and tornado frequencies are higher along the Atlantic Coastal plain as opposed to the Midwest. They usually appear in late summer.
Long-term trends[edit]
The reliable climatology of tornadoes is limited in geographic and temporal scope; only since 1976 in the United States and 2000 in Europe have thorough and accurate tornado statistics been logged.[38][39] However, some trends can be noted in tornadoes causing significant damage in the United States, as somewhat reliable statistics on damaging tornadoes exist as far back as 1880. The highest incidence of violent tornadoes seems to shift from the Southeastern United States to the southern Great Plains every few decades. Also, the 1980s seemed to be a period of unusually low tornado activity in the United States, and the number of multi-death tornadoes decreased every decade from the 1920s to the 1980s, suggesting a multi-decadal pattern of some sort.[40]

well made, well packaged and a soild feel Anthony from Milwaukee, WI – Verified Buyer I was impressed at how well the dresser was packaged to prevent any shipping damage. Very well done. This dresser has a very solid build. Not crazy heavy like solid wood furniture but it feels heavy. The drawer bottoms feel very solid and they are lined with white linen. It very looks nice. This was new to me but I really like how it make the drawers look clean and classy. The soft close drawers slides work well. The veneer wood looks good. It is done well. Overall it has a very clean modern look to it. Things to think about. The drawers are not very deep. They are not the type of drawers that can pull out past the dresser front for full drawer access. They pull out a little more then halfway. The rounded front is solid and so don't expect the curved fronts to add more storage. For me this is not a problem but it might be for someone. Opening the drawers seemed a little awkward at first because you have the grab the outer edges and pull with both arms. It does not have handles. Again this is not a problem for me but I could imagine someone wouldn't like this. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. It is slightly better then I expected. |

Best Stephen Allen Poems
Time All is lost, so gradual the theft of hope, when a day is but a day, no more, every action but a shadow, copied, from countless days put to rest. To live, see or feel, something new, as a child, eyes wide in wonder, the mysteries still that, and now, no more puzzles to solve, joy sleeps. Stoic.

Ever been in a group with someone a spec or whatnot you've been before, with equal gear yet they pulled out pitiful damage in comparison?
Has anyone actually checked to see what they're doing wrong? I saw a Frost DK earlier using almost nothing but HB even on single target. Looking at Recount I had realized he never used Obliterate of Frost Strike, not even once. Yet he used Death Coil o.O The other day I saw an arcane mage who somehow managed to pull out less than 2K dps at 80, which is sad really. When I watched her I realized she would never stack arcane blast. She'd use it once, then instantly use Missiles or Barrage. Any examples others would be willing to share? |
Not everyone knows that pve is a giant math problem, and that the answers are on the internet.
Then there's someone like me, who used to heal heroics exclusively with lifebloom, just because it was fun and I could. |
When I first hit 80 on my mage I'd go oom every other pull if I stacked arcane blasts. I had to alternate or I'd spend the entire instance dry. If her gear was really bad, it's possible she just didn't want to go oom.
Still though, if the mage was in an 80 heroic, 2K dps is plenty ;) |
Lots of healers don't spam their cheap heal on the tank. They are still healing like we did back in 60 dungeons, madly casting expensive spells to keep up with spikes that they weren't looking for. Still, that's a good thing. It means they have a lot of fun stuff to learn.
I'd also like to point out that many ways in which you can maximize your damage are counterintuitive.
Let's take that arcane mage as an example: often when you can arcane blast, you get a proc. Shouldn't you always want to cast arcane missiles that are at super speed? I mean, they're firing off way faster, right? Plus your screen lights up, telling you that you should be doing something. Destruction: it's more dps to wait between immolate -> conflagrate than it is to immolate, cast something else during the lag, and then conflagrate. Enhancement: it's more dps to fire off a x5 maelstrom lightning bolt than it is to stormstrike, even if the stormstrike debuff has fallen off. etc. |
Had a dps DK a while back - Blood, I think, though I don't remember for certain - who did 900dps on a Culling of Stratholme run.
I checked recount, and his sources of damage were as follows: Blood Boil, Blood Strike and Plague Strike.. and PS was less than 20% of the breakdown. |
I'd also like to point out that many ways in which you can maximize your damage are counterintuitive. Doing those mistakes though will only result in average DPS; There is nothing wrong with 1-1.5k in the 70s. Its not very good, but its leagues better than the horror stories most people can tell. Like, I was grouped with a level 76 DPS DK in Old Kingdom. He was pulling 300-400 DPS and not to be elitist, but I inspected him. He was blood, wearing half tank gear, not the most unusual thing. Then I looked through recount and found out that he was always late to pulls, and when he got there, he presumably hit blood strike twice, then just sat there waiting for those two blood runes to refresh. His parse consisted only of melee and a very small blood strike count. |
Right, but it gets to a certain stage that just plain doesn't make sense. I mean it says on the BS tooltip that the damage is increased with diseases. It's as if (some) people can't figure out that 10 is a bigger number than 9. Dps at higher levels of optimization is a math dilemma, yet basic functionality is... basic. |
85 Troll Warrior
destruction lock just spamming incinerate....WITHOUT IMMOLATE *DUN DUN DUN* !!!!
thing was he didnt know any better. rather than make fun of the ignorant sob, i educated him. hopefully hes out there now using immolate, conflag AND chaos bolt. chances are though hes still spamming incin and getting yelled at. |
85 Orc Death Knight
One of my 80's is a hunter. This toon is actually my 11yo daughter's toon. Some times I am driving the toon (I geared her up pretty nicely) sometimes she is. Obviously she does a bit less dps than I do.
I have several guild mates who let their kids farm jp for them. Obviously they won't be toping dps meters. I am very sure there are some rather clueless people playing wow.... just bear in mind that you don't really know who or what is sitting at the keyboard. |
This is also similar to PvP... people could research at how to play their spec effectively by watching videos or reading strats but, they're simply there for gear/money.

A basketball rarity, scoring with 0.1 seconds left, is becoming an everyday occurrence in the NBA playoffs.
On Tuesday night, Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson showed off his lightning quick skills and hit the tip-in with 0.1 seconds on the clock against the Miami Heat, and on Wednesday night, it was Nick Collison of the Oklahoma City Thunder accomplishing the incredible.
While tip-in's typically occur near the basket, Collison upped the degree of difficulty on the buzzer beater, and opted for the 12-foot shot, instead.
Collison's timely move earned him some bragging rights, but that's about all that came from it, as the Thunder lost Game 2 112-77 to fall behind 2-0 in the Western Conference finals.

This Year's Pin Show to Strut Down Its Biggest Runway Yet
Crystal Chatmon/Courtesy Pin Show
The Pin Show has a reputation of being much more than your average fashion show and the 2015 event on April 4 will be no exception. The brainchild of Dallas designer, Julie McCullough, The Pin Show features independent, seasoned designers whose works range from swimwear, to women's ready to wear, to jewelry.
"Anyone can come to this. It's street level fashion," McCullough says. "Most people who come to The Pin Show have never been to a fashion show but this is not a sit down, stuffy thing; this is a two hour party with fashion."
The show is in its 8th year and has grown significantly since the first event, held at The Door, almost a decade ago. The Pin Show will be among Deep Ellum's The Bomb Factory's first events after opening March 26. The Bomb Factory is a 50,000 square foot space so McCullough naturally had her hands full with designing an event to fill the massive space.
"It's going to be a huge show. We have 65 to 80 models, 160 walks this year and two 40 minute sets," McCullough said. "You can scale this venue to be any size you need it be and we're going to use the entire thing."

Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that from the opening scene -- which shows robots attacking and blowing up mannequins and heavy war machinery -- to the closing moments -- when bad guy-soldiers are trying to destroy the beloved robot-hero -- guns, rifles, lasers, and automatic weaponry are fired at regular intervals. No one is injured or killed, but the lovable robot character is in danger throughout. Also expect frequent, angry and/or frustrated swearing and mild profanity in many sequences.

What's the story?
Five robots have been developed to be used in wartime. They're powerful fighting machines. During a storm, lightning strikes one of the robots. "Number 5" malfunctions and escapes from the compound. Hiding out with Stephanie (Ally Sheedy), the robot surprisingly begins to take on the characteristics of a human being. While the security team from the company sets out to find and destroy Number 5 before it blows anything up, Newton (Steve Guttenberg) and Ben (Fisher Stevens), the scientists who created the robot, try to find him first and save him.
Is it any good?
It doesn't get much more simplistic than this. The good guys are good; the bad guys are bad; nobody changes much. But the ride has its message and its moments. The message: it's wrong to kill. The moments come when Number 5 meets '80s culture, particularly TV, movies, and commercialism.
The highlight is when the robot mimics what he takes in around him, imitating John Wayne, The Three Stooges, George Raft, and John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. This movie is fun and harmless if viewers can get past the skin-deep characters (and performances), unnecessarily fiery battle sequences, and the lighter-than-air, obligatory romance.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about how the fighting in this movie looks less than real. Why does no one get hurt in all the gunfire? Also, what makes Number 5 think he's alive? What human feelings does he begin to have? How does the movie show that Stephanie is a caring person? Why is Ben funny? Do people from India really sound like Ben?

SACRAMENTO – As California's budget battle continues, Republicans and Democrats have engaged in a rhetorical battle regarding the relative merits and demerits of our lovely state and one of the nation's other megastates, Texas. This debate started after a legislative delegation made up mostly of Republicans went eastward in April to meet with Lone Star State officials to learn about job growth; it has re-emerged as Texas Gov. Rick Perry is being mentioned as a potential GOP presidential hopeful.
"From 2008 to 2010, Texas added more than 165,000 jobs," said Assemblyman Dan Logue, the Marysville area Republican who organized the fact-finding mission. "During that same time period, California lost 1.2 million jobs. In terms of creating jobs, Texas is clearly doing something right, and California is doing something wrong."
I read that quotation on the website of Gov. Perry, who is known for his trips to California to encourage our state's highly taxed and regulated businesses to move to his state, where they are welcomed rather than treated like pariahs. The Los Angeles County city of Vernon, targeted for extinction in the wake of a corruption scandal, has even run ads blasting Texas for trying to steal its businesses.
Despite efforts by a prominent left-of-center California think tank to show that California businesses aren't leaving the state in droves, California businesses are expanding elsewhere. Corporate executives might prefer keeping the headquarters in picture-perfect San Diego or Irvine or San Jose rather than moving it to in dusty El Paso or swampy Houston, but they aren't creating many new jobs here. Who can blame them?

Everywhere I go, I am met by California taxpayers and business owners who love their state. But they share the stories of their search to go elsewhere – or else their exit plan if things get much worse, economically. Some of this is idle chat, but many people are serious, as the Logue statistics show. Our state's population continues to grow, but the new jobs are mainly in the service sector. We're becoming a two-tier society, and that old-fashioned California entrepreneurial spirit is dying, having the life sapped out of it by regulators and bureaucrats.
Even California's government retirees are fleeing for all parts of the inter-mountain West, where they can enjoy their six-figure pensions and not have to put up with all the high taxes, high cost of living and other hassles. Californians have always embraced a form of exceptionalism, believing that the normal rules don't apply out here. But while I love that the old Midwestern and Eastern social mores don't matter so much on the Left Coast, there's no escaping the laws of economics.
Entrepreneurs go into the private sector, where they take risks, innovate, and create jobs and fortunes. The private sector fills the public sector's coffers with cash, whereas the public sector burns through the money on its endless commissions and high salaries, runs up billions of dollars in unfunded retirement liabilities, complains that it can't do its job because of tough economic times, and then demands higher taxes. Bad businesses go belly up. Bad bureaucracies never go away and they always lobby for more money. This is how it has always been in all countries and states.
Texas has many flaws, but at least the leaders there seem to understand the importance of private investment and the limits on government. It's sad, in a way, that California leaders need to make such a trek to remind themselves of those simple, timeless lessons, and that I even need to devote a column raising these obvious points.
We all know how government operates. In 2006, the Register reported on how Caltrans became the state's biggest slumlord.
The road-building agency used eminent domain to acquire thousands of properties for roads it never built, then let the properties rot. As one Register reporter put it recently, this is "a story about how the nation's largest freeway builder neglected its massive land holdings, creating blight and despair. It was about how Caltrans kept properties off the tax rolls, draining county coffers of tens of millions of dollars in lost revenues. It was a about abuse of power."
Now, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, we learn that Caltrans has been spending absurd sums of money putting new roofs on these old properties, spending many multiples of what such a roof would cost on the open market. In one case, the agency spent more than $171,000 for a roof on a decrepit, vacant house.
This is how government operates. It is inefficient, immune to market pressures, driven by bureaucratic decisions and prone to abuse its power. Anyone who has dealt with a government agency will tell stories of how irrational its decision-making and spending decisions can be. Had private owners been in charge of the properties, they would mostly be well kept, and no one would pay 170 grand for a new roof.
In the private sector, where business owners are looking for those "evil" profits, they tend to do whatever it takes to make the customer happy. In the government sector, where money falls out of the sky, or at least is dependent on political decisions rather than on voluntary exchange, the bureaucrats do their job as they see fit, with little accountability and even less concern for customer satisfaction.

Sick of people undermining aspergers/HFA
This is something of a rant, I guess, but aren't you guys sick and tired of people undermining your difficulties just because you happen to be higher functioning than those who have classic autism? I can't stand people saying that my experiences mean nothing or that my difficulties are nothing just because I'm supposedly more able than another autistic person for whatever reason or that my opinion don't matter because I don't speak for everyone. I can't stand the term "shiny aspie" and how it's becoming derogatory term. Oh, apparently if you do well, that's bad (wtf?). I'm not trying to attack other autistics or their carers, etc. I just think that this whole civil war between AS and Autism is a load of crap and it's damaging.
I appreciate that you have a hard life and I want to learn, but I don't want to be attacked because my difficulties are different. I don't want to be undermined and, no, you don't know what I go through what my life is like. You don't know s**t about me, so don't even pretend. I don't care if you have a second cousin who lives in Albuquerque who is severely autistic, who can't dress himself, feed himself and so on and so fourth. That's him, not me. He's a different person than me. That doesn't make me any less autistic. I also have a history of anxiety problems - do I have the right to attack someone with OCD because they don;t have MY type of anxiety (panic disorder)? No - that's not fair, so why is it okay when it comes to autism?
Phew - I'm sorry, that's a little incoherent. Basically, I wanted to know if other people have had similar experiences of their disability not being taken seriously because "you're not autistic enough". For balance, maybe those with a more severe case of autism can tell us what they feel about this.
I've had a pretty bad experience with a certain someone who claims to have Autistic Disorder plus a million other illnesses who is ( I kid you not) an elitist. Supposedly, she has "more value" as a disabled person because of how disabeld she is and refuses to believe that aspies are disabledif they don't seem disabled to her. I don't think I need to mention the parents who have undermined me as well (e.g "You're nothing like MY child!").
Ugh, I hate the world sometimes.....
I just try to stay out of those discussions. Some (not all) parents of LFAs are so upset that they are angry with the whole world and they just want to pick on someone - so AS is just an excuse. Recently I have been said I am too attractive to be an Aspie - now you see why there is no point in reasoning with them.

Very true; you cannot reason with that kind of person! And I despise judgemental people, as they think they can decide who is right, who is wrong, who is lazy, and who is successful or failing. Those are the people who would be disappointed in you, even if you are a brain surgeon... They'd say "Sure; you're a brain surgeon, but that's only because you knew you'd probably have failed law school, and you settled for medical school".
They need a dirty sock wadded up and stuffed in the mouth, so we don't have to hear their opinions (which they consider to be facts).
Some people are just wrapped up in their own issues, to the extent that they are unable to see anything else. Just remember that you have as much right to deal with your own issues as anybody else.

I get really frustrated in those situations! I get talks like this all thee time because I have an autism service dog so people ask many are nice but on occasion I get ones who don't believe me, think I am not severe enough or that I am faking or misdiagnosed. I have had family tell me before " you only have a very mild form the are people who have it a lot worse," I know that but it doesn't mean I don't still have my own struggles and challenges and it often makes me wish I never learned to talk at 3 and remained nonverbal

There is a thing called "The Peter Principle". It essentially is a person will always rise to their level of least competence. It is used to describe how a person moves through a large corporation, starting out doing really well on projects, having greater responsibility and complexity assigned to him, and eventually being assigned things that are beyond him so he starts to fail.
I see this in play with functioning levels in autism. Basically, I am expected to do more because I am "more functional" but I am eventually expected to do more than I can actually handle well. But blaming this failure on my autism is "wrong", even if it is actually misplaced expectations and not me failing to meet some arbitrary standard of functioning.

something I've been thinking about I think you'll agree on:
HFA is less sever then LFA, but that doesn't make it mild, I've had issues with this with my brother, who disparaged my condition saying I have a "very very very mild form of autism", that really upset me, it's like telling someone who can't walk that they shouldn't complain since their are people who can't move at all, not being able to walk is still a rather difficult thing to live with, and so is HFA.
'not only has he hacked his intellect away from his feelings, but he has smashed his feelings and his capacity for judgment into smithereens'.
It's such a relief to know that others feel the same about this. Like I said, I would never undermine anybody's difficulties on the grounds of functioning level. Heck, some of the most independent and capable people I know struggle greatly to get by. I just hate this "No true Scotsman" fallacy that is invoked in many internet flame wars when it comes to who gets to advocate for such and such and who has it rough, blah blah blah.
In actuality its very hard for HFA's
If my appearance was not so nearly perfect I would have been helped throughout my life, not HARMED, because I look like I need help...
HFA's look better than most on paper.
'You look fine to me'
Isn't HFA a trendy diagnosis?
If we looked like downs syndrome people we wouldn't be bullied...........
I've experienced it in my daughters case. The support groups I try to join all automatically note that my daughter was never non verbal or had no violent meltdowns - just some 'overly dramatic' crying. My daughter isn't autistic enough for them.
I'm also disturbed by the number of stories I keep reading about families who have severely autistic children being shocked, amazed and overriddeen with guilt because they find out in their childs teens or later that their child has an active, lively mind hidden behind their inability to communicate. They were told and believed that their child had the cognitive ability of a 3 year old. It never occurred to them or to their doctors that their child may have the communication skills of a 3 year old but much more advanced cognitive abilities.
Point is - people underestimate the autistic all the time. And autism - being a spectrum - has high points and low points and a whole lot in the middle. If people truly want to enforce and further strengthen the stereotypes, they are welcomed to make their comparisions and pass their judgements. It's what a good deal of our society does anyway. I just don't want to hear anyone crying foul when those who are being stereotyped, judged and otherwise demeaned in their challenges fight back.
Pick your battles wisely.
Unfortunately, this is common in psychological support groups. In abuse-recovery groups, they call it "abuse-sizing". People who were severely physically abused would dismiss the complaints of those who had lesser abuse. The reality is that it was all destructive, and survivors had more in common with each other than they had differences. In abuse-recovery, there is a saying, "don't abuse-size." I suppose the equivalent in WrongPlanet terms would be "don't autism-size."

I find the "I am more disabled than you" or "My kid is more disabled than yours" is one of my biggest pet peeves.
I hate it when people act like HFA is nothing or AS or "mild AS" because that is basically doing the "I am more disabled than you and you're nothing so you can't struggle" or the "my kid is more disabled than yours so he is nothing and he can't struggle." They think they are entitled to think that way just because they are more disabled or their child and people should understand. To me that is like saying someone had a crappy childhood so we should be able to understand the crimes they committed in their adulthood. That is acting like it's all okay.

I got into a pretty frustrating argument like this a couple weeks ago. I do not love the fact that it happened, or that I didn't see it coming. I do not love being told I don't know what difficulty is because I haven't had it as bad as someone else, or that this appears to be the case.
HFA is less sever then LFA, but that doesn't make it mild, I've had issues with this with my brother, who disparaged my condition saying I have a "very very very mild form of autism", that really upset me, it's like telling someone who can't walk that they shouldn't complain since their are people who can't move at all, not being able to walk is still a rather difficult thing to live with, and so is HFA.
I like this and I agree completely. I have HFA too and I think it's funny and frustrating at the same time that the "very, very, very mild" adjectives are viewed by some people as meaning "Autism so mild that it's not there". I don't complain a lot but I do go bananas privately when my family, my closet family, husband and children, refuse to acknowledge, even after a professional dx, that my brain works differently from the norm and what may be easy for them is not always easy for me. But even worse is that it seems as if they are laughing about it and deliberately refusing to believe it, as if they know me better than I know myself.
Sorry, I could rant about this too, but I didn't intend to. I sometimes forget how upsetting this problem really is to me until I come across a discussion like this.
I get really irritated at people who use their difficulties to assume that people seen as having "mild AS" don't have real difficulties or don't really need a diagnosis or whatever. I've known enough autistic people from enough of the various severity labels that get so easily thrown about (despite the fact that, scientifically, we don't even know what autism is never mind how to define severity) that I know that being in the category considered mild doesn't mean you can't have severe problems in specific areas. It just means that in a small number of areas you happen to appear (to most people, often because of very specific but widespread prejudices about how the human brain works) not to have trouble. And I get sick of it when people don't seem to give a crap what people they stomp on because they have severe issues and therefore they ought to dictate to those with "milder" issues (which may not actually be milder, but that's another story entirely) what to do with their lives/diagnosis/etc. And I get sick of the idea that "having severe issues" (however that gets defined, and it's often defined in seriously weird ways) or "having a child with severe issues" gives a person more license to dictate to everyone else what "real" autism is. (And mind you, I'm not classified as mild, so don't try to tell me that's why it pisses me off. It pisses me off because I'm a human being and can see how it hurts other human beings who are just as real as the other person. It pisses me off because people who do this usually feel no responsibility for the lives they're screwing around with. And so many other reasons besides.)

Teams signing up for Relay for Life
Called a "pajama party with a purpose" by its organizer, the Snoqualmie Valley Relay for Life Kick Off was a big success, bringing in an additional eight teams, said participants. Prior to the event on Monday, Feb. 23, at the Salish Lodge and Spa, 11 teams had already signed up for the relay.
"We are well on our way, but still need more," said organizer Wendy Thomas, who is hoping for at least 29 teams to take part in the summer event.
Goals for 2009 include raising $102,000, creating 1,000 candle-lighted luminaria bags and connecting with 75 cancer survivors. The relay is also aimed at making the community more aware of the efforts of the American Cancer Society.
Relay For Life creates a conversation in the community about cancer prevention strategies, early detection initiatives, the importance of funding research and the availability of programs and services, Thomas said.
"This conversation would not occur otherwise," she said.
"Cancer is not something people want to talk or think about, and many would prefer to pretend it just doesn't exist until it bites them," Thomas said. "My motto is, 'If you don't talk to your community about cancer, who will?'"

Tailgaiting a Yankees Fan, No…I'm Not Even Mad
// November 10th, 2009 // Uncategorized
Yeah, I violated a ton of local, state, and federal laws here.ô That's according to my sister, the attorney.ô Anywayô I snapped this picture because to me it perfectly defines the all-reaching, all encompassing arm of the bandwagon-Yankees fan.ô A Pennsylvania licence plate, supporting the Yankees.ô You know, I didn't see some crummy Eagles bumper sticker, or cheese-steak grease all over his fat face, so I have to assume he's not from Philly.ô That being said, I can't blame him.ô I mean, who is he gonna root for? The Pirates?
