Ok, despite my best efforts (which, admittedly are rather feeble), I can no longer tell what 'frobnicat' is attempting to accomplish. Is he arguing that all of the 'thrust' produced by this device is some sort of thermal artefact? From what I can tell, the goalposts seem to have moved at least once.Executive summary time, please.
Quote from: frobnicat on 03/15/2015 09:35 pm....I wanted to show that the measured "force" (LDS reading really) might not be a force at all, but a change in equilibrium rest position, as per the diagram showing how the equilibrium rest position is different depending on test article CoM position...Sorry again for not recalling your prior posts and needing a brief summary.QUESTION1: have you calculated the change in Center Of Mass position for these different cases? (yes or no ?) if your answer to QUESTION1 is no, stop reading.
....I wanted to show that the measured "force" (LDS reading really) might not be a force at all, but a change in equilibrium rest position, as per the diagram showing how the equilibrium rest position is different depending on test article CoM position...
if your answer to QUESTION1 is yes, then,QUESTION2: do your calculations for the change in center of mass position give a displacement that is close to the displacement vs. time measurements at NASA Eagleworks?
Quote from: Rodal on 03/13/2015 12:29 pmObservation #1) The explanation (e.g. the jet model from a poster in this thread, and alternative air current conjectures in several blogs in the Internet) that the thrust measurements were due to thermal convection in the air has been nullified by NASA Eagleworks tests in a vacuum at 6.6*10^(-9) standard atmosphere = 0.0000000066 standard atmosphereIf some kind of perfect Ion engine expels a gas with a density as thin as the one in the NASA Eagleworks vacuum chamber, through a one cm3 nozzle and at a relativistic speed (let say 200,000 km/sec) the thrust due to this very thin gas is in the order of several Newtons.A far more imperfect Ion engine can certainly provide 100,000 less thrust by accident at this level of pseudo-vacuum.

...Er, yes, no, this is in progress but would need a simulation with professional level tools I haven't knowledge of to be assessed with any certainty...It could.At least it needs to be properly assessed before it can be ruled out. ...
...Suppose (for argument's sake) that your conjecture for shifting center of mass due to thermal expansion could explain the measured response in one direction, which will call the "forward" direction.Then, how could it possibly explain the measured response in the opposite direction, with the experimenters able to put the EM Drive into "reverse" at will?
... a picture of the new heat shields for our torque pendulum's upper and lower torsion springs, (more belts and suspenders to mitigate thermal drifts in the TP baseline), the reversed test setup drawing and the best reversed thrust plot obtained just before or during when our second and last 120W max RF amplifier was dying from internal corona discharges around its RF output circulator.
1) Do you agree that the only serious data we have about "reverse" is in fact just a 180° turn of test article ?2) That a 180° turn of the test article will reverse a thermal effect as much as it reverses a thrust ?
..we don't have precise data concerning a situation where some sustained level of apparent thrust would be toward the big end of test article ? I do recall some mention by Paul March to such thrust toward big end was made, would appreciate if you or anyone find that.
I do agree that precise and consistent data on point 4 [Reverse tests data] would indeed nullify a lot of my conjectures.
FYIhttp://scitechdaily.com/researchers-hope-to-provide-new-insights-into-quantum-gravity/But, it's a spherical cavity.......
...1) Please refer to the image I provided: of a car's shift mechanism, showing a REVERSE shift. I certainly do NOT consider turning the EM Drive around by 180 degrees to equate "running in reverse", any more than turning a car engaged in "D" (or in 1st shift) around by 180 degrees would make it run in reverse: the car would still run FORWARD (but in the opposite direction).
Reverse, as indicated by the graph I provided refers to going backwards: a car's reverse ! That's why I attached the huge image showing a car's reverse shift (the significance of the "reverse" R cannot be misconstrued )
2) Of course, "That a 180° turn of the test article will reverse turn a thermal effect as much as it reverses turns a thrust ?"So what ?
...Your post above questions whether the EM Drive can be run in reverse. You state:Quote from: @frobnicat..we don't have precise data concerning a situation where some sustained level of apparent thrust would be toward the big end of test article ? I do recall some mention by Paul March to such thrust toward big end was made, would appreciate if you or anyone find that.@Mulletron [hat tip for being the first one in the thread to use the car's reverse shift image] has a number of posts also interpreting that the EM Drive had been run in reverse, for example certain modes run the EM Drive forward and certain modes run the EM Drive in reverse. One can, in principle, then run the EM Drive in reverse, at will, by "turning the (virtual) knob" of the exciting frequency such as to excite a natural frequency that has a mode shape such as producing an EM Drive's thrust in reverse
I will let Paul March:1) describe how else the EM Drive can be run in reverse at will [using the literal definition of "reverse"].
2) determine whether my interpretation of the "reverse" measurement of -9.9 microNewtons is indeed a reverse thrust measurement (my interpretation was based on a literal interpretation of the word "reverse") or whether it is a measurement with the EM Drive turned around by 180 degrees (your interpretation). The image for "reverse" shows the same frequency as for the "forward" images, so if the frequency is correct it means that it was run in the same mode shape both forward and backwards. Either A) you are correct that the image is really not an EM Drive in reverse (but instead it is the EM Drive turned around and still running forward), or B) if it is indeed running in reverse it must have been accomplished by some other means, other than by changing frequency.
3) if my interpretation of the image showing "reverse" measurement of -9.9 microNewtons was NOT a reverse thrust measurement, but instead was forward thrust with the EM Drive turned around 180 degrees, then could Paul March please point out to where is the data for the EM Drive run in Reverse.
PS: No need to warn about "absurd controversies" or about "indulging ourselves." Such warning (and your discussion about turning the EM Drive around by 180 degrees) was unnecessary if you take into account 1) the definition of the word reverse, and 2) the image I provided of the car's shift mechanism showing a Reverse shift. The meaning of "R" reverse in a car cannot be misconstrued.
No need for us to get upset about this. It is important to settle this issue, as you recognize:Quote from: @frobnicatI do agree that precise and consistent data on point 4 [Reverse tests data] would indeed nullify a lot of my conjectures.
I do agree that precise and consistent data on point 4 [Reverse tests data] would indeed nullify a lot of my conjectures.
The thrust waveforms have changed significantly in the past few months. The first picture below is from April 2014. 19.9 Watts of RF power resulted in a peak thrust of 105 microNewtons. There is no mention what the error thrust due to magnetic interaction is however. The waveform has a fast rise time and has an overshoot and other characteristics of an underdamped response. It is very similar to the calibration drive and the error thrust.The next thrust waveform, in a vacuum, is very different. I think it is the result of a long duration thermal effect and doesn't indicate any thrust at all. With 50 Watts and a vacuum surrounding the cavity a thermal response would be expected.The reverse test, also with 50 Watts, brings us back to the underdamped response, but at a very low level.With no consistency in any of these data the only thing anyone knows for sure is:1) Heat is being dissipated in the cavity.2) DC current near a magnet generates torque.
Dr. Rodal:Looking over some of our test results from last spring and summer just now, I realized that I had forgotten to provide this forum a few test runs at some of the other resonant modes we've looked at that used different dielectric discs and locations including polycarbonate which I hadn't mentioned before. These examples are attached and you will note that these other copper frustum resonant modes (TM010 & TE012) have very different thermal torque pendulum responses than the TM212 (your TM221 I think) cases we've discussed of late. That fact might be of importance when discussing whether these thrust signals are real or just artifacts...PS: The magnitude of the torque pendulum's overshoot is directly related to what version of the magnetic damper that was used for the particular test in question and how thick the copper damper blade was at the time. At the moment we are using an arrangement that is slightly over-damped in an attempt to smooth out some of the pesky low frequency seismic noise in the system.DPS: The magnitude of the RF amp's dc current induced thrust signal offset is directly related to how much leakage current is going through the torque pendulum's steel torsion bearings. As I became aware of this problem over the last year, I've found various ground wiring tricks to mitigate this dc current induced negative going offset, but I've never found a way to get rid of all of it. Best, Paul M
I disagree that "reverse" only means to move backwards, so may I suggest that a different description such as "flipped", "turned around" or "rotated" be used to better describe the experimental setup, especially given the potential for there to be a way to change the directionality electrically (and if that is true then perhaps we could follow the circuit symbol for a cell to help us communicate such directionality i.e. thrust towards the big end is positive; small end is negative)
one can also reverse this thrust vector for this copper frustum by just changing which excited resonant mode is used
All:Sorry I didn't make the time to participate in this ME-Drive forum for the last 6-to-8 months up, but I will try to catch up with everyone else in due course. That said lets try to answer the questions that popped up since my morning post.1. I was not the lead author for the Eagleworks' 2014 AIAA/JPC paper and in fact I only supplied pictures and data for same during that period because Dr. White thought that my time was best spent in the lab gathering data instead of report writing. Thus some of the details that Dr. Rodal is looking for may have been lost or garbled in the report writing by the others on the author list.2.0 The thrust vector for the four resonant modes examined in detail, (the cavity's fundamental TM010, TE012, TM211 & TM212 for our copper frustum is normally in the frustum's large OD to small OD direction for most, but not all the E&M resonant modes checked. However, one can also reverse this thrust vector for this copper frustum by just changing which excited resonant mode is used and/or mounting the dielectric discs at the large OD end of the cavity instead of the small OD end, see attached resonant mode map. Sorry, but a one size fits all solution to this EM-Drive thrust direction is not available in this venue because of the importance of the ExB phase relationship of the expressed Lorentz forces between the excited E&M fields and the possible dielectric and QV plasma flow phenomenon that may be at work in each resonant mode expressed. That is why this type of E&M thruster is so hard to get a handle on, for there are far too many degrees of freedom in the system to track let alone directly control. 3. The Eagleworks vacuum chamber's main body is made from 304L stainless steel while its swing out door is made from aluminum. Most of the nuts and bolts in the vacuum chamber are also made from 18-8, 304 or 316 stainless steel alloys. Now to try to answer Dr. Rodal's specific questions:"1) In the NASA experiments the truncated cone's center of mass moved towards the [ ? ] diameter end (where ? stands for big or small)"For the TE012 and TM212 excited resonant modes, our copper frustum's center of mass moved toward the small OD end of the frustum when RF power was applied to the copper frustum."2) In the NASA experiments, we at NASA Eagleworks define the thrust force direction to be in the [? ] direction as the movement of the truncated cone's center of mass (where ? stands for same or opposite)"For just the TE012 & TM212 excited resonant modes, the thrust force direction AKA thrust vector was observed to be in the same direction as the movement of the frustum's center of mass when RF power was applied to the frustum's magnetic loop antenna. If I missed a question along the way keep asking, but I'll be in and out of the house for the rest of the day, so I may not get to answer them until late this evening or tomorrow afternoon USA based CST.Best, Paul M.

The Iran Nuclear Deal
Why Diplomacy Succeeded and Regional Alignments
On July 14, Iran and the P5+1 – the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (Britain, China, France, Russia, United States) plus Germany – concluded a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) concerning the future of Iran's nuclear program. On July 20, the UN Security Council unanimously endorsed the landmark deal.
In late October, Iran is expected to begin implementing its part of the agreement. In early 2016, following the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) confirmation of Iranian compliance, the UN, US and EU will begin lifting sanctions and unfreezing Iranian assets – opening the way for Iran's reintegration back into the global economy.
Basic Framework of the JCPOA
Broadly speaking the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) places extensive limits on Iran's nuclear programme; makes provisions for an intrusive inspection regime to monitor and verify Iran's compliance; creates a "Joint Commission" to resolve disputes that may arise over the implementation of the deal; establishes a "snap back" mechanism to ensure that should Iran cheat on its obligations, sanctions will automatically resume without the need for a new Security Council vote to avoid a possible Russian or Chinese veto; and outlines the sanctions that will be removed following Iranian compliance.
The JCPOA will last for ten years, but some restrictions envisaged by the deal will remain in place for up to twenty five years.
Why Diplomacy Succeeded
|Last meetings before

The Iran deal has been widely praised as a triumph of nuclear diplomacy. Through negotiation and compromise, Iran finally accepted unprecedented restrictions and inspections on its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of international sanctions and reintegration back into the global economy. Why did diplomacy succeed?
Leadership Changes
The elections of Presidents Obama and Rouhani, in the United States and Iran respectively, changed the complexion of the diplomatic negotiations. Both Presidents were determined to reorient the diplomacy of their respective countries away from the adversarial policies of their predecessors.
Obama came to power intent on placing diplomacy at the forefront of US' engagements with adversaries – a policy that recently led to the restoration of diplomatic ties with Myanmar and Cuba.
Similarly, Rouhani's electoral mandate hinged on his campaign promise to bring Iran out of sanctions' induced political and economic isolation.
This context set the tone for a more positive participation in the negotiation process from the two most important countries in the dispute: Iran and the US.
Alignment of Major Power Interests
The Iran nuclear accord was signed amidst the backdrop of worsening tensions between the world powers. Russia's annexation of Crimea and destabilization operations in Ukraine had put it at loggerheads with the west. China's growing assertiveness in East Asia and its expansive claims in the South China Sea had seen diplomatic relations with the US deteriorate.
Despite such inauspicious circumstances, the world powers nevertheless maintained an impressive degree of unity during the nuclear negotiations. Why?
All had a vital interest in the diplomatic process being concluded successfully for three basic reasons.
The first is rooted in the fact that historically the five legally recognised nuclear powers – US, China, Russia, France, UK – have always sought to preserve their nuclear monopoly. Consequently, they have often been the strongest champions of strengthening the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
The real strategic concern for all the major powers was that a nuclear armed Iran could set off a dangerous chain reaction in the Middle East – with regional powers such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, similarly going nuclear, and Israel coming out of the closet regarding its own atomic arsenal; all to balance against an empowered nuclear Iran.
The destabilizing potential of a nuclear arms race in an already unstable Middle East could also lead to a disruption of oil supplies, an acute concern for China and the European powers given their dependence on Middle Eastern oil.
The second basic reason has to do with proximity.
Only the weak Caucasus and Central Asian countries separate Russia from Iran; and both Russia and Iran are littoral states of the Caspian Sea. This geographical proximity largely informed Russia joining the sanctions that brought Iran to the negotiating table. Like any great power, Moscow doesn't want nuclear armed neighbours.
This proximity concern also factored into the EU's strategic calculations because the Middle East and North Africa are traditionally seen as part of Europe's broader neighbourhood. A nuclear armed Iran, and the dangers of proliferation in the region, risks placing atomic weapons in the hands of major non-western states on Europe's doorstep.
It also indirectly factored into China's decision to stick with the diplomatic process.
China is surrounded by nuclear threshold states (i.e. countries with the industrial capacity, nuclear infrastructure and technological know-how to become nuclear powers) such as South Korea and most significantly Japan.
For Chinese policymakers therefore, the guidelines for Iran's nuclear programme could become "part of an implicit international standard that could be adapted and applied" against China's neighbours, says Tong Zhao, an analyst at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy.
The third reason for the success of the diplomatic process has to with preserving great power freedom of action. More nuclear armed states invariably means less scope for military action by the great powers against stubborn smaller powers.
This has been a central concern for the US as it remains the only true global military power. A consistent theme of US post-1945 grand strategy has been the effort to thwart both friends and foes from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Francis Gavin, a seminal thinker on US foreign policy, argues that the three core drivers of US nuclear policy has been the desire to "safeguard its security, preserve its power, and maintain its freedom of action". US policymakers have "aggressively sought to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons" because they "could be used to deter the United States and limit its freedom of action, both regionally and in the world at large".
This sentiment is echoed by Colin Kahl, the US Vice President's National Security Advisor, when he stated candidly at an academic conference for nuclear experts in 2013 – a year before he entered government – that "it is precisely because of the potential constraint on American … freedom of action in the Middle East that U.S. policymakers so heavily weight some of the ills associated with a nuclear-armed Iran".
Regional Alignments
How will the Iran nuclear accord shape the Middle East's strategic landscape?
One big positive trend to look out for is the possibility of a reduction of the decades long tensions between the US and Iran. The negotiations and compromise that produced the JCPOA demonstrates that constructive and positive dialogue is possible between Washington and Tehran.
Similarly prior to this deal, the US and Iran proved that they could work as de-facto partners with mutual interests in combating the so-called "Islamic State". American jets have practically acted as the air force to Iranian backed Shi'ite militias in Iraq.
With the suspicions around Iran's nuclear programme resolved, the trend towards tactical cooperation on regional security between Washington and Tehran could become more prominent.
However, this doesn't mean that a full-fledged alliance between the two erstwhile adversaries is in the offing. The US and Iran are still sharply at odds in Syria over the fate of the Assad regime; and Washington has supported Riyadh's war against the Iranian backed Houthis with weapons, intelligence, and most visibly ships to help enforce a Saudi-led naval blockade in Yemen.
While strong disquiet over what they believe was the US sacrificing their security interests to reach a grand bargain with Iran may push the Gulf Arab states to begin diversifying their strategic partnerships – the outreach to Egypt and India, and Saudi Arabia's warming ties with Turkey, underscores this trend – the US will nevertheless remain the principal strategic guarantor of these states.
Likewise, the US will continue to depend on the Gulf Arabs for stability in the energy market, and for its strategic presence in the Middle East.
One other trend that could become more prominent with the signing of the nuclear accord is a closer regional alignment between Iran and Russia.
There had been palpable tensions between both countries over Russia's participation in the sanctions regime against Iran. Russia unilaterally cancelling the sale of the S-300 surface-to-air missile system in 2010 (after the weapons had been fully paid for) to force Iran to the negotiating table, and to placate Israel, only reinforced Iran's traditional suspicion of Russia as an unreliably power.
Putin's lifting of the ban on the delivery of the S-300s in April, and the lifting of UN mandated sanctions, has removed the main sticking point in the strategic partnership between both countries.
A major negative trend to look out for is an intensification of the strategic rivalry between Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The JCPOA only seems to have convinced the authorities in Riyadh that Washington is determined to exit from the region; leaving the way open for Tehran to expand its power. This basic assumption will lead Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies to step-up aggressive military actions to push back against what they see Iran's growing regional influence.

What's it like to stare down a 78-foot wave? It's really no big deal.
Or so big-wave legend Garrett McNamara claims. "I got desensitized by riding so many big waves that I don't really get a rush anymore," McNamara said with a laugh, adding, "I'm hoping I get the rush someday when I find a big enough wave."
It's hard to tell if he's kidding because McNamara has ridden many of the world's largest waves. So many that it's hard to keep track of all his record-setting rides.
PHOTOS: Billabong salutes big waves
McNamara currently holds the Guinness World Record for largest wave ever ridden at 78 feet, set in 2011. In 2013, McNamara beat his own record when he rode what is believed to be a 100-foot wave off the coast of Portugal (video, above), although the height of the wave has yet to be confirmed. It's a record even McNamara finds hard to believe. He said he'd always searched for 100-foot waves -- and seeing them is "an amazing sight ... like finding the holy grail."

Hello again, blog readers. Not long ago I returned from a little trip abroad. Actually, the trip wasn't so little; in fact, it was the longest plane ride I've ever endured. A giant aircraft flew me and a handful of colleagues across the vast Pacific Ocean to a place I never expected to see in person: Beijing, China.
Why would an intrepid band of SOE employees travel all that way? To attend the first-ever China Joy gaming show. There were gaming companies from all over the world participating, particularly from the Asian market. Though not as large as E3, it was nonetheless an impressive show that was well received by the public. Loud music, dancers, people dressed up in costumes, and giant screens showing the latest software... all the stuff necessary for a gamer's paradise.
While there were some amazingly elaborate booths set up to show off various games, our purpose was not to put on a huge public demo. We were there to meet with various media people and establish relationships with companies that can help us bring EverQuest II into the Chinese market.
Video games may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about China. But in reality, the gaming market there is huge. Online games in particular are booming due to the massive number of people on the Net. One Internet service provider alone has 83 million subscribers -- 83 million! That's an amazing number and it's growing every day. Over the past six years, online connectivity in China has risen a staggering 600%. Current estimates are that in a few years China will have more people online than the rest of the world combined.
We went to China to demonstrate our commitment to the international community. While EverQuest is available in China, we didn't enter the market until the game had been out for a while. Our goal is to be more timely with EverQuest II.
We will be launching in multiple regions of the globe simultaneously, so players around the world will be able to enter the new Norrath at the same time. Our internationalization team is hard at work translating all the quests and NPC text into multiple languages, hiring local translators in those countries so we are sure to capture the nuances of each culture.
We've designed our game from the ground up to appeal to an international audience. Camera control, which is so important with Asian gamers in particular, is easy to use and customize. A true third-person camera is the default view, but traditional EQ-style first person is just a scroll of the mouse wheel or tap of a function key away.
Aside from chatting with other players, almost all commands and elements of the user interface can be controlled with the mouse. Simply mousing over an NPC will tell you its relative level (con color), purpose (merchant, someone you talk to, something to fight), and whether it's aggressive toward you or friendly. Right clicking on an NPC or a usable object will give you a menu of possible actions. Conversations with NPCs happen by clicking on the response you want rather than having to type out cryptic sentences. And movement through the world with the mouse is simple and intuitive.
Our code has been written with internationalization in mind, so it is relatively simple to bring EQ2 into additional markets. In fact, the biggest constraint is the time it takes to translate a couple million lines of dialogue into a different language. We had one of our quests translated into Chinese so that we could demonstrate it at the show, and those who saw it were quite impressed.
Our designers and artists kept internationalization in mind when building the world. For instance, in EQ there are many signs written in English that are embedded in the game graphics. In EQ2, signs use in-game languages that are translated into your own language when the mouse moves over the sign. This kind of planning makes internationalization much simpler and more immersive.
Meeting members of the Chinese gaming media was very interesting. Some of them were hardcore EverQuest players, and they had all kinds of questions for me related to the game. One person kept asking me questions about the Sleeper (a once seemingly invincible prismatic dragon from the Scars of Velious expansion) such as how many hit points he had. It turned out this journalist was part of the first raid to kill the Sleeper. I was very impressed by the knowledge that he and some of the other players had about the intricacies of the game.
Doing a roundtable media discussion can be strenuous under normal circumstances. Imagine what it's like when the questions and your answers are going through a translator! Despite the language barrier, we had a great time at the show and we received a lot of really positive feedback on the game. How can anybody resist giant statues with flaming heads trying to step on you? That's right: nobody can.
Of course I can't talk about a trip to China without mentioning how amazing the country is. Thankfully we had some extra time to visit places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. It is both awe-inspiring and humbling to see these amazing structures that literally took centuries to build. Plus, how many community managers do you know who have pictures of themselves standing on the Great Wall?
Beijing is a city of fourteen million people and eight million bicycles. It's a massive place filled with lots of tall buildings and way too much traffic. The food is great and cab rides are extremely cheap. My number one tip for traveling someplace where you don't speak the native language is to always carry a card from your hotel that gives the address and a little map showing its location. That little card becomes your best friend.
All in all I had an amazing time in a place I never imagined I'd get to visit. The jet lag was nasty, but the trip was a fantastic experience I'll never forget.

46:3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
I am God
It is important to distinguish between the directive and the permissive will of God. In the first sense the place for the covenant family was Canaan Genesis 26:1-5 ; Genesis 46:3 is a touching instance of the permissive will of God. Jacob's family, broken, and in part already in Egypt, the tenderness of Jehovah would not forbid the aged patriarch to follow. God will take up His people and, so far as possible, bless them, even when they are out of His best. In Israel's choice of a king 1 Samuel 8:7-9 in the turning back from Kadesh Deuteronomy 1:19-22 in the sending of the spies; in the case of Balaam--illustrations of this principle are seen. It is needless to say that God's permissive will never extends to things morally wrong. The highest blessing is ever found in obedience to His directive will.
All the souls
(Cf) Genesis 46:27 . A discrepancy has been imagined. The "souls" that came with Jacob" were 66. The "souls of the house of Jacob" Genesis 46:27 i.e. the entire Jacobean family) were 70, viz. the 66 which came with Jacob, Joseph and his two sons, already in Egypt=69; Jacob himself=70. (See Scofield "Acts 7:14") .

Hello and good luck with the application!
You proved that a lvl 70 character can actually be leveled and geared in 2-3 weeks!
Just two things i'd like to point out:
-The exalted version of the faction enchants is now bind on account. So since your priest is exalted with Sons of Hodir (the link you provided needs to get the ":" removed at the end) you can mail your druid the enchant. It works cross-faction aswell.
-The general belief in the guild is that you don't need the best item to get the best enchant/gem on it. The best enchant will boost your "not so good" gear and that actually makes it even more worth on (what some may call) "transition gear". In that sence, even your current gear could be improved.

Thanks Carth, i removed the ':', now the link works proper.
By god man, you are right! I totally forgot about that change. Thanks for that info, however i still make my druid exalted with that crappy faction
About the enchants: im fully aware about the enchant I lack: im lacking the shoulder enchant which I just send over from my priest to my druid, im lacking the cloak enchant because this is not a proper cloak for a feral dps. Im not enchanting it because it is to be replaced soon by either an new drop or either the valorous badge one and im also lacking the +10 stats on my chest, it has the +8 stats atm. Been a bit short cash lately, just putted berserking on a old polearm and a day later i loot the hilt which also has berserking enchant on it. Anyway normally im always 100% correct on gemming and enchanting, my priest armory page can fully prove this.
So nothing to worry about i guess

Hello from me also!
As Carth noticed some enchants and gems are poor and you have to work really fast on your gear if you want to increase your chances.
But anyway, whisper me tomorrow to do some heroics together.

Use the X-mas holidays to gear up .... farm what you need to impress us.
We take a raid brake from 25 man raiding during xmas and new year so use that time to catch up.
I want to give you a chance - you must prove you re worth it first
Try to do the best of your character the next 10 days - i ll be watching your armory profile and the progress you make daily.
Try to obtain the "best" someone can buy for money ,like crafed- boe items-greatness card -etc etc ,for your main spec (feral) .
Your efford to improve offspec gear (resto in your case from what i see) is not getting unnoticed either.
Will even try to contact you if there s a spot in an ICC10 man run so we can take a look at your performance.
After 2nd January we ll have a more detailed ingame chat.
P.s. You can also contact me or Xairox(Xairogue - alt) ingame.... Xairox is officer and also comes from belgium ..... he ll explain to you what kind of efford you need to make to get a trial chance and answer to any questions you might still have.

In/around Bangalore 23-27 July
Hi all,
After attending a conference in Mysore, I'll have a few days to visit Bangalore and surroundings next week. I picked a few things to do from the obvious travel guides, like going to see Shravanabelagola, but it's always nice to hear suggestions from people that live in the region. Anyone willing to share his/her favourite pastime in or around Bangalore?

"I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in the world, a beautiful little fool" - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
The days are getting that bit shorter. the weather's cooler and you're probably pining for a hot chocolate, complete with whipped cream and teeny-tiny marshmallows. Winter is almost upon us and there's no better season to curl up with a book, under a blanket with the fire on, a steaming hot chocolate beside you.
As an English Literature student, it's no surprise that I love getting absorbed within the leaves of a fantastic book and so here are my top five books that you should be reading this winter.
The Girl on the Train
Yes, I know I've already done a book review of this one and it's so hyped about now that the film version has been released but, if you haven't already, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a read. It's exciting and thrilling, a book that you'll definitely struggle to put down. Incredibly tense and extremely well written this psychological thriller will be the best thing you read all year.
The Last Act of Love
This heartbreaking true story, written by Cathy Rentzenbrink, is quite a short book, easily read in a day, but it's a book that will make everyone really appreciate what they have. There's a very real sense of family and love right the way through the book, with a heartbreaking narrative about a young lad who died too soon.
The Great Gatsby
Yes, it's a classic but it still bothers me how few people now days have actually read it. My most favourite book of all time, it's brilliant, imaginative and a book you simply can't put down. So many people know of the story and have seen the film but honestly, nothing compares to the book itself. The ending is often said to be disappointing but I challenge you to read it and realise that it's the best possible way the book could've ended.
You're The One That I Want
A totally adorable, and at times hilarious, tale of a love triangle. Written by Giovanna Fletcher, it's charming and very real. Dealing with a heartbreaking narrative for one character it makes you want to cry and smile all at the same time.
After You
Everyone's read Me Before You now, but so few people are bothering to pick up the sequel, it's totally wonderful as Moyes continues the tale of Lou after Will's death. Although playing no physical part in the novel (obviously) his spirit and charismatic nature lives on as Lou tries to move on.

Out of
curiosity (okay more like vanity) , I've been reading up on an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology used for skin treatment. When I first came across this term, it was for hair removal. It comes as no surprise, since IPL treatment is most commonly used for hair removal. Yet, IPL can also be used for skin treatment.
Firstly, what is required for IPL?
IPL is a technology that requires a Xenon flash lamp and optical prism (used as capacitor) to produce a high intensity of light in a short period of time, converting them into energy to eliminate damaged cells that lies deep within the skin. That said, IPL will not harm the surrounding tissue nor our skin later itself. IPL Therapy targets the lower layers of skin (dermis) without affecting the top layers of skin (epidermis).
While Microdermabrasion treatments such as Diamond Peel and Crystal Peel targets the superficial layer of the skin, IPL penetrates deeper into the dermis to stimulate cell regeneration from within.
Most IPL systems use filters to refine the energy output for the treatment of certain areas. This enhances penetration without using excessive energy levels and enables targeting of specific chromophores (these are skin components that absorb light).
The advantage of IPL therapy is its minimal downtime, where your skin can recover almost instantly after treatment.
What is the procedure for the conventional IPL treatment?
Prior to the the treatment, patients will be given a goggle to protect the eyes from the intense light. Following that, a cool layer of gel will be applied to the area where it will be treated. The gel layer serves to cool the epidermis during treatment and prevent light from scattering.
IPL gel helps to conduct better light absorption towards the targeted Chromophores (blood vessels and melanin) and thus, the melanin within the pigmented area will be dispersed.
Is there any alternative?
Yes, instead of the clear gel, the Black Magic Treatment uses a proprietary formula created in Korea for the treatment. Also known as The Photo Reborn Gel or Plasma Magic Gel, the Plasma Magic Gel is black, hence the name Black Magic. The treatment does not target pigments, but instead aims to rejuvenate the skin by tightening the pores and reducing sebum production.
What is the difference between the conventional treatment and Black Magic?
Usually, IPL treatment results rely on the light depth and intensity. In this case, the light depths are undifferentiated since its the filter of the hand piece that controls it. Whereas for light intensity, the Plasma Magic Gel is formulated to increase efficiency in light absorption, reduce energy loss, thereby shaving off about half the energy required to perform the treatment as compared to conventional IPL treatments.
What does it help in?
Black Magic treatment promises to minimize pores and reduce oily skin.
Are there any side effects?
Sometimes, patients may experience breakouts after the treatment. The skin may be too dry and thus may experience itchiness post-treatment, or the process of healing and detoxification may have caused the minor breakouts.
For both above mentioned reasons, it is recommended to apply more repair gel and hydration gel along with sunscreen post-treatment.
I have rather bad skin so of course I dream of wanting a porcelain skin! Who doesn't?!
Porcelain, The Face Spa provides the Black Magic Treatment service. If you feel that you've learnt something new about the treatment from me, please 'like' my post on their Facebook page. Thank you!

A little idea, perfect for a Saturday afternoon: a moisty cake flavoured with orange, lemon and lime, and enlivened by those little seeds that - for how small as they may be - can make the difference. I thought it would have lasted the weekend - well, at least until Sunday breakfast! But hey, baked a couple of hours ago, already it's almost all gone. Better hurry up and post the recipe then, before any trace of human memory disappears…
2 oranges
2 lemons
2 limes
100g butter
100g caster sugar
2 eggs
100ml yoghurt
150ml milk
250g self raising flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tbs poppy seeds
Zest the citrus fruits. Beat the butter until creamy with 100g of sugar, whisk in the eggs, the zest, the yogurt and milk. Mix in the flour, to which you will have already added the baking soda, and the poppy seeds.
Butter a loaf tin and line with parchment paper.
Pour the mixture in the tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180C° for about an hour, or until the surface is golden and the cake passes the 'toothpick test' (ie: a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean and dry).
Meanwhile, squeeze the oranges, lemons and lime and strain the juice. Pour it into a small saucepan with 100g of sugar and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is not dissolved. Remove from the heat.
When the cake is ready, remove from the oven and prick all over the top using a toothpick or a thin skewer. Gently pour the citrus syrup over the cake and sprinkle with a pinch of poppy seeds. Allow the syrup to soak through for a few minutes before removing the cake from the tin.

BRITS 2012: Adele apologizes for sticking up middle finger
Adele has issued an apology to her fans after giving the middle finger sign at the BRIT Awards after her acceptance speech for Album Of The Year was cut short.
The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer had just landed the top prize for her second studio album '21' when host James Corden was forced to ask her to make way for a performance by Blur.
She said: "I'd like to say as i got cut off during my speech for Best Album and i flung the middle finger – but that finger was to the suits at the BRIT Awards not to my fans.
Adele was right in the middle of giving an emotional acceptance speech about how she was proud to be flying the flag for Britain. She was about to thank the British public for all of their support before she got cut off. She says "I'm sorry if I offended anyone but the suits offended me."
The singer also picked up the prize for Best Female Solo Artist on the night and made her live UK return with a rendition of 'Rolling In The Deep' following throat surgery last November.

Multiple-input multiple-output systems can be decomposed into several multiple-input single-output systems. This paper studies identification problems of multiple-input single-output nonlinear Box–Jenkins systems. In order to improve the computational efficiency, we decompose a multiple-input nonlinear Box–Jenkins system into two subsystems, one containing the parameters of the linear block, the other containing the parameters of the nonlinear block. A decomposition based maximum likelihood generalized extended least squares algorithm is derived for identifying the parameters of the system by using the maximum likelihood principle. Furthermore, a decomposition based generalized extended least squares algorithm is presented for comparison. The numerical example indicates that the proposed algorithms can effectively estimate the parameters of the nonlinear systems and can generate more accurate parameter estimates compared with existing methods.

It was a day of mixed emotions for Lee Clark, as he was sent to the stand just 10 minutes in, watched his side come close to a remarkable comeback then revealed that Josh Magennis is staying with the club.
Clark was sent off inside 10 minutes for speaking out of turn to fourth official Gavin Ross, who had warned him about straying from his technical area.
Kilmarnock were two down after a brilliant Lionel Ainsworth goal and a terrific Marvin Johnson header, but Martin Smith pulled one back nine minutes from and they were denied a late penalty.
But the defeat was soothed by the news that the board turned down £100,000 for Magennis from Charlton Athletic.
The Rugby Park boss said: "Apparently I was sent off for foul and abusive language directed at the official, but I certainly didn't and I refute that suggestion.
"I would have thought that early in the game a conversation with the referee would have been enough. But it wasn't the only strange decision.
"We gave two poor goals away. We didn't look like we had belief in the first half, but when we made the changes in the second half we had a right good go and we could have got back into the game.
"We decided we didn't want to let Josh go and we have turned down the offer from Charlton Athletic. The board spoke to Josh during the game and he said he was more than happy to come back here and give us everything."
Ainsworth put Well into the lead on 40 minutes with a fantastic chip over Jamie MacDonald after he had been put through by Scott MacDonald.
Then Johnson produced a great header from Chris Cadden's cross in the first minute of the second half.
Both Ainsworth and Johnson missed good chances to put Well out of sight, then Killie grabbed a goal back when Martin Smith headed home Greg Taylor's cross in 81 minutes.
Then, in the final minute, Killie thought they should have had a penalty when Ben Heneghan seemed to bring down Soulemayne Coulibaly, but referee Craig Thomson gave a free kick the other way.
Motherwell boss Mark McGhee reckons Johnson might just have increased his transfer value after his fourth goal of the season. But he reiterated that he is desperate to keep hold of the attacker, who was the subject of a failed bid by Oxford United earlier this week.
McGhee said: "It was another goal for Marvin and it could have been Les Ferdinand. It was a centre forward's header – I think Kris Boyd would have been proud of it.
"He's scoring in every game and I just hope I can hang on to him. We have our valuation of him and maybe a few more pounds might just have gone on it.
"Killie made us fight for it all the way so I'm delighted with the win. When we went two up we thought we should win the game, but when it went to 2-1 we knew they were going to bombard us, but luckily enough we held firm.
"We were under pressure for the last 15 minutes, but I felt over the piece we deserved it," he added.
"Both Marvin and Lionel missed chances and that wasn't good for my heart because if one of them goes in we are a lot more comfortable."

Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates (1880-1967). Born in Germany Joseph was a sickly child who suffered from rheumatic fever, asthma and rickets. Over the next 50 years he worked at regaining his health by developing an exercise system he called 'Contrology', or the study of control. The movements were geared toward emphasizing your body's core - the abdomen, obliques, lower back, inner and outer thigh, butt, and so on. For this reason, Pilates develops much of what exercisers need - strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, and good posture - with a much lower chance of injury than with other forms of exercise. The discipline emphasizes correct form instead of many repetitions exhausting the muscles and losing form. With so many exercise variations and progressions, you will have a hard time getting bored with Pilates.

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
A new study published in the Journal of Periodontology has found that increasing one's physical activity level may lead to healthier teeth and gums.
During the trial, researchers from the University of Florida measured the body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage and maximal oxygen consumption in a group of volunteers. The team used these factors to determine each person's weight control and exercising capabilities and then then assessed participant's oral health.
The researchers discovered that individuals who maintained healthy weight and exercised on a regular basis were less likely to develop gum disease.
Samuel Low, associate dean at the school's College of Dentistry, stated that "weight management and physical fitness both contribute to overall health, and now we believe staying in shape may help lower your risk of developing gum disease." He added that "since gum disease is related to other diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, there is even more reason to take care of yourself through diet and exercise."
In addition to increasing one's activity level, people who want to protect themselves against gum disease and have little or no dental insurance benefits can benefit from discount dental plans. These affordable programs allow patients to see a dentist on a regular basis, and receive treatments that will prevent this dental problem as well as other oral hygiene issues.

Following on from yesterday's blog about G Adventures' latest offerings in the Galapagos, here is another very timely story of the same destination, this time from Noble Caledonia.
Named after the giant Galapagos tortoise (above), this remote group of islands, 1,000km off the coast of Ecuador, are considered some of the most wondrous islands in the world. It was Charles Darwin who put them on the map. True, the islands were discovered some 300 years earlier, but Darwin's five-week stay during his world expedition altered the course of human thought and history.
One of the most amazing aspects of the Galapagos is that, even today, the archipelago is much the same as in Darwin's time, a veritable 'Garden of Eden'. Largely unspoiled by development, it is a place where fascinating and diverse wildlife is both abundant and fearless of man. Here you can swim with dolphins and Galapagos penguins, walk amongst giant tortoises, watch basking marine iguanas and be endlessly fascinated by the colourful and exotic birdlife. The isolation and late discovery by humans, along with a historical lack of predators, has set the stage for a unique environmental experiment and developed into perhaps the greatest showcase for evolution to be witnessed anywhere.
Today, there are a number of vessels cruising around these islands ranging in size from six to 600 passengers, but Noble Caledonia have chosen two very special vessels operated by their associates and experts in Galapagos cruises, Metropolitan Touring, who have almost 60 years experience of providing guests with unique and quality travel experiences. Isabela II and La Pinta are perfect for those who prefer a small, superior vessel, a highly experienced expedition team, small groups ashore and an environmentally friendly programme.

One of my former students wrote a great thesis for her Russian major on blat networks in Russia. What's blat, you ask?...it's the only way to get anywhere in the Russian business world.
Blat networks have their origins in the Soviet era, when shortages of needed items were frequent. A blat consisted of networks of friends, relatives, and other contacts, who procured those hard to find items for you in exchange for whatever you can get your hands on.
As the Soviet economy transitioned to a market economy, one that has been particularly marked by corruption, so the blat tradition has changed. As deeply embedded in Russian culture as it was, the blat way of doing business did not go away, it just transformed. Now, to do business in Russia, one must be tapped into a blat network. You want to open a new store, you better know the people who will let that happen: bureaucrats, laborers, local businessmen, etc.
Ikea learned this the hard way. After trying to break into the newly opened Russian market for a decade, Ikea finally opened its first store in 2000. Ikea knew they had to make contacts at the official level: Ikea's founder for instance met with President Vladimir Putin. But Ikea didn't know how deeply their schmoozing would have to travel.
Just before the opening of one of their stores in Moscow, local officials cut off the electricity. Ikea officials deftly sidestepped this maneuver by purchasing and running their own generators. This led Ikea to place generators in all of their stores. It was only a little later however, that Ikea found out that they had paid about $200 million (U.S. dollars) for the generators, the result of local contractor some greasing of the palms of blat buddies. When Ikea tried to sue in Russian court, they were fined 5 million euros for their trouble.
There are many other stories like this. When Ikea tried to open a store in Samara, they were delayed by local officials nine times, lasting in total over four year. The final complaint was that the store was not up to hurricane proof standards. Samara is not very close to any hurricane prone regions.
Needless to say, Ikea had insufficient blat for their Russian business venture.
When I read my student's work on Ikea's troubles in Russia, it made me think of a bizarre episode in international business that took place back in 2005. Maybe the concept of blat can shed a light on why President Putin pocketed New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's 4.94 carat, 124 diamond-encrusted Super Bowl ring.
This occurred during a meeting of major corporate CEOs with Putin, including execs from IBM, Intel, and Citigroup. Putin admired Kraft's ring, so Kraft took it off and let Putin try it on. Putin admired it for a while, then took it off......and placed it in his own jacket pocket! Kraft tried to play it off later. Given our new knowledge of how business is done in Russia, it's likely that Putin thought the business leaders were paying the first of many costs for doing business in Russia. Better save some of that jewelry for the local electric utilities.

Our Darling Beloved Little Max,
It's hard to believe that 1 year has passed since we had to say our goodbyes and more so that it was exactly 6 years to the day we first brought you home into our lives that we said our goodbyes when you were only 7 years old.
Although life was a rollercoaster with your IBD we fought so hard together and with everything you went through you fought so hard every step of the way to stay with us, as you loved us so much like we did you and that's why you became known as the Brave Soldier but the aggressive cancer that got you so young was one battle we couldn't beat together.
Mummy and Daddy talk about you and your Bruvs everyday and know they will be looking after you and miss them terribly too but you and me had such a unique, unexplainable bond which can never be filled, as you were my soul mate and boy in a million.
We may have only had 6 years together but Little Max you brought us so much happiness into our lives and left us with so many happy memories that we will always cherish and treasure forever and one day we will all be a family together again.
