They celebrated as one. They gathered in the corner of the court directly opposite the Kentucky bench, pretty much every single player granted the privilege of wearing a Wildcats uniform, and they bounced in unison as if they all stood on matching pogo sticks.
The 2011-12 Kentucky Wildcats celebrated as a team, because they were a team. Not just a collection of individual, bound-for-the-NBA superstars, but a team of players who sacrificed for each other, followed their coach's orders and reached their potential.
One Florida journalist called them "college basketball's worst nightmare."
One national website called them "really bad for college basketball."
Bob Knight called the whole "one-and-done" phenomenon that empowered that UK team "a disgrace."
So what will he say now? What will all of them say, all of those who behaved as if this were John Calipari's rule, his personal province? Because this morning, the university that has collected three apparent one-and-dones, three top-10 prospects in the 2014 recruiting class, is not Kentucky. It is Duke.
MORE: Sporting News' Top 25 prospects for 2014
So what will they all say? If Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow and the Duke Blue Devils arrive onstage for the 2015 Final Four at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, one year into college careers that very well could last only one year, will their coach, Mike Krzyzewski, face a question such as the lengthy one presented to Calipari in New Orleans in 2012 that included the phrase "Your best players aren't here by choice" and suggested winning the championship wouldn't mean all that much to them?
Will NCAA president Mark Emmert be asked at his annual state-of-the-association news conference to discuss the "Duke-and-done" culture?
Those of us who've endorsed the NBA's age limit rule since its inception are in position to chuckle now at all the moralists who behaved as though it were some sort of affliction, a festering wound upon the soul of college basketball. It was an easier position to take when Calipari could be held as the singular villain, because he was a common media target years before the NBA instituted its age limit rule for the NBA Draft in time for the 2006-07 season.
The people who turned "one-and-done" into a curse word managed to ignore that such fine young men as Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Anthony Davis and, oh yeah, Kyrie Irving were the supposed problems that needed to be eradicated. They ignored that picture of the UK team that was so obviously together, in the precise manner we hope for all of our best athletic teams. In decrying that athletes merely could pass one semester of classes and then blow off the entire spring term, they've ignored that APR success at programs such as Kentucky indicates that almost never happens. And, frankly, they've ignored that players such as Carmelo Anthony, Stephon Marbury and, oh yeah, Corey Maggette and Luol Deng were "one-and-done" years before the rule was in place.
So what will they say now?
Make no mistake, Okafor, Jones and Winslow enter college with the sort of pedigree that would earn them the "one-and-done" stamp if they signed at Kentucky or Kansas or Ohio State, and each talked with college recruiters about that being part of the plan.
That's not to say any or all automatically will turn professional after their first season. It was expected of Terrence Jones and Alex Poythress at Kentucky, and they played as sophomores. It was not expected of Avery Bradley or Cory Joseph at Texas, but they played a single year in college.
Some who want "one-and-done" not to be a Duke thing have suggested neither Jones nor Winslow is in that category, but that's little more than a wish. DraftExpress scout Jonathan Givony has seen lots of Winslow at USA Basketball trials and in FIBA competition. He lists Winslow as the No. 11 prospect in his mock 2015 draft. He has Jones at 15th.
Okafor, Givony's No. 1 2015 prospect, is a delightful teenager: bright, ambitious, self-assured. Jones and Winslow, as well, are the kind of kids who would enrich any college campus. That it is possible or likely they will be in place for one academic year means they might enrich it less than is desirable but not short enough that the experience will be vacant for either party.
We've said this before, but perhaps not often enough. The current 19-year age limit rule is not as good for basketball as a 20-year limit would be, but it still is the best thing to happen to basketball at the high school, college and professional levels since the NBA made the mistake of installing a rookie salary scale nearly two decades ago.
The age limit has gotten pro scouts out of high school gyms, encouraged high school players to pay more attention to their academic courses in order to qualify for the best possible pre-NBA training ground, and it has allowed college fans to see the finest players of their generation compete for conference championships and the NCAA title. It has allowed the NBA to inherit better-trained prospects and not to do as much remedial coaching with its most coveted draft picks.
One-and-done is not a curse. It is a blessing. It now has the full embrace of a true Hall of Famer, Mike Krzyzewski, who has won four NCAA championships and could very well ride this trio of elite talents to a fifth. That is, if current one-and-doneish talent Jabari Parker doesn't get him the fifth this April.
That is what they should say. But it'd be just as well if they say nothing at all.

Google is adding to its range of artificial intelligence with the acquisition of DeepMind Technologies, a London-based startup founded by former chess prodigy and neuroscientist Demis Hassabis.
DeepMind's expertise will be used to improve search results, Google Translate and other products, said a Google spokesman in London, who asked not to be named citing company policy.
"We combine the best techniques from machine learning and systems neuroscience to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms," DeepMind said on its website. The company didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Google has spent more than $17 billion in the past two years to purchase hardware, software and advertising-technology companies, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The Mountain View-based Internet company agreed to spend $3.2 billion this month on Nest Labs, a home automation company that makes thermostats and smoke alarms that connect to the Internet.
DeepMind was incorporated in September 2010, according to filings on Companies House. Hassabis, 37, founded the company with Mustafa Suleyman and Shane Legg.
Technology blog Re/Code reported the acquisition Sunday.

A DPS Meter Fallacy
21 comments:
I take issue with the concept that it all gets boiled down to one number that can be "padded", when anyone of at least average intelligence can easily see through those sort of tricks.ReplyDelete
You can't trick recount. You can only trick the person using it.
- Anonymous9:24 PM, February 26, 2012
The problem is, people who ARE good enough to interrupt, etc., don't always have the inclination to do so. As Tamarind of Righteous Orbs said before, "Nobody ever says to you after a raid, 'Sick utility, man, sick utility.' "ReplyDelete
People exist who will go the extra mile, on their own, to pad meters and have the capability to do so. But only when specifically requested by name to cast so and so CD (that hurts their meter ranking) will they do so to help the raid.
The fallacy of DPS meters is not "padding*", but the false impression it gives people as to what's important. Is the person topping the meters really the one who did the most damage, or was it simply the one who ignored the important mechanics? Or was it the one that fight favoured? You can't look at the final tally of the top 10 DPS and say "Yep, the guy at the top sure is the best", because that's not what it's saying at all.ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, I have yet to really come across anyone who uses a full group comparison in the right way, so in the end all a DPS meter does in those situations is generate drama.
(* The use of "padding" in this case is to follow your intention of a player who goes out of his way to deal extra damage purely to top the meter. This does not include situations where a player legitimately does a ton more damage because he used those abilities as part of fight mechanics; IE AoE classes getting massive burst DPS on fights with a lot of adds, or DoT classes that can spread damage across two targets to increase their total DPS.)
- Anonymous10:43 PM, February 26, 2012
It isn't easily possible for anyone to see through people not debuffing so they can throw some extra dps instead, or ignoring the kill order so they can sneak in some more AE attacks.ReplyDelete
Possible to check via something like recount? Yes. Easy to check? Not really, no.
Not to mention people whining about being asked to CC or off tank because it's going to affect their dps numbers.
And the one thing with damage meters I never did quite understand is why the first couple of seconds seem to make such a huge difference to the final numbers. I remember all the dps emphasising this to me when I was tanking and asking them to hold off a couple of seconds so I could get solid aggro. Apparently this would have made such a massive difference to dps meters that it wasn't a fair ask. And I still wonder what's with damage meters that a second or two at the start can somehow translate into tens of thousands of dps difference at the end of a fight.
I don't entirely trust meters.
Padding the meters really only happens during pugs or farm bosses where people are just screwing around or being lazy. Basically when the meter actually doesn't matter people "cheat" it. When you are working on progression raids it is rare to see people cheating the meters and they are soon removed if they do.ReplyDelete
@spinks: when I raided there was never any worry about the tank's threat as long as there was at least 2 people who could do tricks or misdirection. We let the tank get the first hit, maybe 2 hits before we opened up. The exclusion to this was low geared tanks which we gave 5 seconds to. Rule of thumb was if you are gaining to much threat as a dps player you were doing something wrong regardless of the numbers.
In normals it's more importanat that DD survive than make an OMG dps.ReplyDelete
Sorry to "necro" the original topic (about the red, yellow, green performance dot). I don't think that Blizzard should spend any time implementing something like that. Blizz should be focused on delivering new, interesting, and challenging content. It should be up to the users -- in the form of add-ons -- to develop such a tool if it's really useful. The "market" thus far hasn't dictated the usefulness of such a tool. Recount and WoL are already pretty powerful; the only issue is ever configuration to an informative view. If you want a rotation analyzer, there's already stuff like CLCret.ReplyDelete
I'd rather Blizz develop a couple new raid bosses or new features or almost anything than build in a zumba type tool that's only ripe for abuse.
I have to disagree that those at the top of the meters "are better at interrupting". Where do you get that idea?ReplyDelete
Seems to me those most often at the top of the meter in a pug are precisely the players who ignore interrupts,CCs etc the most, and you won't see "Mr Meter Spam" running back to Rewind Time on Murazond for example, because that is a sure-fire dps loss.
Perhaps if there were a way to calculate "DPS per GCD", a "DPS equivalency" could be assigned to those GCDs spent on utility casts and rolled into an "effective DPS" figure.ReplyDelete
I mean, someone figured out how to roll absorption into healing figures, right? Why not this as well?
I could not disagree with you more.ReplyDelete
I think that someone that strives to be the top DPS at the expense of the kill is really not a good player.
I have experienced it over and over. People that will not switch to adds and cause wipes simply because they could not be bothered to have their DPS be number 2 or 3. Mind you everyone is withing 1 or 2K of each other, but some people care more about that top spot than they do a kill.
The excuse I hear over and over is that the other DPS should be able to deal with the adds/interrupts etc.
That kind of DPS mentality simply states that DPS is what kills the boss, when in reality teamwork is what kills the boss.
I proved it to our team on our second raid the other day on an alt run. They thought that having DPS was all that mattered and we went with a 4 healer (we had 2 very very undergeared healers on the group) 4 DPS 2 tanks comp. We executed, still beat the enrage timer and did it working as a team, not having all DPS.
I see teams trying to do this all the time with Zerg strats to eliminate mechanics. Sure it is a numbers game at the end but I still hold the idea that teamwork and utility are always more important than raw DPS numbers.

I agree that only a good player can top the meter. But we're not talking about topping the meter, we're talking about not getting the red light. Or probably even not getting the yellow light. Or even playing the meter because of fear you might get the yellow/red light.ReplyDelete
Let's assume your an average player who runs LFR. You get the green light and your happy. But you don't know if you still get the green light if you "waste" some time to interrupt a spell on the next boss. Let's assume you did some interrupting on the next boss and now you got the yellow light. And you promptly get insulted in raid chat by the mage in the group. What will you do on the next boss? Will you interrupt again? Maybe the mage will try to kick you if you're only yellow again.
There are some easy ways to squeeze in some extra damage, like:
- Not moving out of fire and continue casting. We all did that. The difference is that a good DD is able to judge if it can and will be healed through.
- Start casting before the tank is on the mob. "He can use spot." We all did that. The difference is that a good DD knows when he can do that and when not.
- Using AE when focusing the healer would be more appropriate.

That's normally correct. But what if the game tells you that it doesn't matter if you interrupt. It's more important that you stay above x dps and you get the green light. Yes, you didn't interrupt a single cast but the game considers you a superstar (green light).
There are 4 good counter arguments against your post. 1) playing the meters 2) class/spec/glyph specific (dis)advantages in general 3) class/spec/glyph specific per fight or mechanic of fight 4) learning curve. All 4 are described in this post.ReplyDelete
Before I reply I want to make sure people understand the damage per second isn't affected after you or the boss is dead. The damage done stops only counting when the boss is dead or wipe. A dead DPS does no DPS. The amount of damage done is more important than DPS, everyone should remember this.
"Topping the meters requires knowing and executing your rotation, using cooldowns appropriately, not dying, and casting as many spells as possible."
No, sorry, it does not. Not _always_. There are legio exceptions; they are the problem.
I would not want to argue the ability to press the button "5" for "swipe" or "mind sear" equals e.g. "knowing and executing your rotation". I don't believe a fury warrior is a worse player than a feral cat just because the fury warrior cannot AoE the small adds on Yor'Sahj. Maybe he has wrong spec, betting going arms, but 1) we cannot expect such for LFR and normal 2) if the adds go down because we got proper AoE DPS and he does good single target DPS he is doing his job.
Also, activity does not say much about the damage done.
You claim: "In my view, the idea that one can "cheat" or "pad" the meters is something of a fallacy. It's technically, or hypothetically, possible. But in practice, it's extraordinarily unlikely."
Even though you are presented with examples. I don't understand how you can be so ignorant. Have you never seen it happening?
There are far too many situations where you can "play" the DPS meters.
1) You are a fire mage on Spine of Deathwing LFR. You cast TW, cast LB on 3 tentacles to get pyromaniac up. You then get a combustion up on the first amalgamation, and spread it around. You will be high if not top DPS, but you are not performing. Most likely, people have called you a retard in raid chat, and rightfully so. People are unable to perform a barrel roll in LFR (though in the first week I thought it was required) so it'd be a wipe. Now, I have done this very thing. Why? Because some other player did not wish to wait for my friend (who was tank) to be ressed. Instead, said specimen decided to start the fight right away. What happened was we wiped, I got vote kicked for this, while my friend was able to continue. I did not care, since I only needed gear from the previous 2 bosses.ReplyDelete
2) Another situation which arose was on my arms warrior. In the situation of my mage instead of DPSing anything I went AFK. If I recall correct they started the fight quickly after kill, and I went away to take a drink. When I came back I had AFK behind my name. my bossmod was making noises for the amalgamation exploding, and an other warrior was saying they should kick me afterwards as I was AFK. After Tendon was dead I looked at the DPS. I did high DPS on the Tendon. Now, here is the point: the DPS on all the other stuff is trivial and does not matter. In a normal or heroic attempt you only should care about the DPS on the Tendon. The entire talent tree and gear is optimized for this! As a side note I explained the warrior he could have his 2H from last boss as I was loot banned for it. After that he suddenly became silent. I won the shoulders with crit, wished the warrior good luck on acquiring the 2H, and left.
3) Yet another situation on my warrior, this time I was slacking on Madness. I was AFK on the first platform, doing nothing. I was completely useless. If I recall I was on toilet. Ugh, details… from the 2nd platform and onwards I did perform, but I found myself low on the list. Then the regenerative came. I popped Recklessness and Bladestorm, lou and behind, I was in the top 5 of the list all thanks to the fact that A) my spec does insanely high AoE DPS with my CDs B) I do this if others don't do insane high DPS (have seen a mage going 90k here). Now now, was I skilled here!
In the 3 cases above the DPS meter by default does not show any meaningful numbers. Their feedback is completely skewed, but if part of the default UI then people would see it as the authority of performance, reading the numbers wrong and draw the wrong conclusions. Why not leave meters to the educated few who are able to install and read them correct?
"The people who are consistently at the top of the DPS meters are your best DPS players. They will be the ones who are better at interrupting, at using utility spells, at moving successfully. The players at the bottom of the meters are the ones who need the most improvement, who will also be less likely to interrupt correctly, to use utility spells correctly, to move out of the fire."ReplyDelete
Sorry, wrong. I am a DPS and I find it more important that when learning a new fight the tactics are executed correct. You will find me going for survivability (which includes interrupting, moving) over my performance as DPS. The reason for this is simple: I know my rotation inside out, I just need to apply it on the boss fight. I have zero experience with the boss fight -tho from theory I know what to do, you gotta work it out your own group- therefore performing DPS wise will come easily after we got the tactics settled. The other reason you are wrong is that different builds, talent trees are good for different fights. A fire mage with pyromaniac and improved fire blast has 4 completely useless talent points for Morchok HC and Ultraxion HC, but they are useful for example on Hagara HC and Spine HC. Still, I'd much better prefer cauterize for these fights. Or even go arcane for some of these fights (and I hate arcane). Yet another example is Baleroc HC 10m. I was always one of the lowest, if not lowest DPS here. First of all I cannot multi dot here, second as a ranged without mobility like disengage and blink I am in disadvantage to others including the melee who barely move. Third, we cast heroism at start, and this is where I disperse. Four, I use TB trinket to help the healers. Was I the worst DPS player? No, I was actually doing our healers a great favor by following this tactic.
"There is a point where this is not true, where class and spec determines your position on the meters. That point is known as Paragon and the other Top 10 guilds. For everyone else, position on the meters is determined by the quality of your play."
Once again, wrong. Morchok HC you want mitigation healers. Without it, you're doomed (resto druid for example is not good there) especially when gear levels were lower and people had less stamina and such. You also may want people to respec for this fight, for survivability. Mage with cauterize, feral druid with increased armor, priest with inspiration (I actually went disc after having holy since patch 4.0.1). On Zon'ozz, you don't want too many melee. On Ultraxion the feral and rogue cannot stand behind him, leading to a loss of DPS. On Madness, multi dot is ace. On Spine, resto shaman SLT is ace. We had great success with our DK DPS going tank on certain HC fights. On Hagara HC a hunter with aspect of the pack and nature resi are great additions. And so on, and so on. There are simply certain classes/specs which are better than other on certain fights. Dare I say, figuring these mechanics out is one of the most fun things in WoW raiding; making the fight work for YOUR team. You will never hear me (seriously) say wow I am the best DPS, cause I am the top DPS on Madness. That is because I realize it is the mechanics of my class which allow me to be that way, and second because every time I make a mistake in my rotation (as small as it may be) I realize I could've come up higher. My 4set also makes my rotation much more challenging.
To sum it up. Well, I did so in 1st post 1st line.
"The people who are consistently at the top of the DPS meters are your best DPS players. They will be the ones who are better at interrupting, at using utility spells, at moving successfully."ReplyDelete
This may be true in a guild environment and where padding the meter is a black and white thing, in that the people who do the most dps are the people who are the best in dps'ing. However in a non-guild environment as in LFR and pugs, padding the meter is not what you said in your post. In that some of the people who may be at the top of the meter are not the people who are executing correctly, they may in fact be the people who don't switch on add thus PADDING their numbers.
I have never, nor will never fully trust a DPS and/or HPS meter. All of my MMO career people have been shoving them down my throat and as a guild/raid leader I've rarely found them useful in truly judging someone's skill.ReplyDelete
There are ways to cheat a meter. The healer that AoE heal's a ton and then tries to make the tank healer feel bad comes to mind.
A meter is suppose to be a tool that helps a group get better. It is rarely used that way I'm afraid. That is why my guild doesn't take it too serious. At the end of the day, your DPS doesn't matter if the monster is dead! It doesn't surprise me that people try to cheat it though.
Meters mean very little by themselves. If you aren't taking in account the context of the situation, such as someone is kiting, or someone is on dispel duty so their healing output will be lower, then you're doing it wrong, plain and simple.ReplyDelete
Just like the stoplight meter is bad because it doesn't contain enough information, so do raw DPS/Heal meters without a breakdown of what they were attacking and their rotation (which both Skada and Recount give to a large degree, btw).
I use meters all the time as a raid leader. In a guild situation, as mentioned before, they're absolutely useful and helpful and one can be guarenteed that I am taking context into account. In an LFR situation, meters are less helpful, because context is lost as people do things like stand in the (quite weak) fire.
Basically, in cases where performance absolutely matters (Normal/Heroic modes with enrage timers, higher damage, and tasks such as dispels or target switching for context), Rohan's argument about needing meters still stands. One cannot improve without concrete feedback. In cases where performance frankly matters little, such as LFR, meters do nothing but feed people's egos.
So the question goes, then, do we ruin the feedback mechanism for the people using it correctly and opt for reducing the amount of information so that people in LFR and Heroic 5 Mans can't tear their fellow party members a new one verbally for not being up to their standard of play, or do we allow the tools to exist for those who want to use them and use them appropriately to work on more difficult content, but this allows less savory players to use the tool as a bludgeon in content where performance is frankly not that big a deal?
Damage meters are like the Triforce in A Link to the Past:
"The Damage Meter will grant the wishes in the heart and mind of the person who touches it. If a person with a good heart touches it, it will make his good wishes come true... If an evil-hearted person touches it, it grants his evil wishes. The stronger the wish, the more powerful the Damage Meter's expression of that wish."
The way I've always seen it is that you really can't pad the meters, since typically the "padded" damage still needed to be done. You might complain because someone is using AoE or multi-DoTs, but the truth is that those adds probably needed to die anyway. I have plenty of people complain about AoE on the Madness of Deathwing encounter, because I'm using my AoE on the bloods while they're dealing single-target damage to the tentacle. The bloods need to die eventually, and so what's wrong with me trying to take that opportunity?ReplyDelete
"The bloods need to die eventually, and so what's wrong with me trying to take that opportunity?"ReplyDelete
You'd have someone who is good at AoE do AoE, and someone who isn't you let single target. Called doing your role, doing what you're good and useful at. If someone cannot do either you replace them, and if you don't have enough AoE you replace some single target/burst with AoE and vice versa (respec, or do what you are less good at but still do it). As for Madness: Spellweave. If you are a lock you use RoF or SoC on it (not Hellfire) and proc spellweave. This is why locks, and DoT classes in general, are so insanely high on Madness (esp heroic). This is a DPS increase, and necessary, but it does not mean you are more skilled than the sub rogue who single targets and does during heavy AoE less damage than you. In fact, as hinted if you have too much AoE dmg and not enough single target that can be a serious problem on in this example Madness. It could mean you have no problem with getting Regenerative down quickly, but the Blistering on 4th platform just don't get enough DPS, healers cannot cope with it, and wipe. Or you are not able to nuke the corruption or bolt quickly enough because not enough burst.
Plus some adds do not have to die. There is one tactic where on 4th platform Madness you ignore the Blistering. If someone does not follow the tactic while rest does he screws the raid. On phase 2, raid leader says you stay on Deathwing, but you ignore and start nuking the little tentacles, then terror (as if you could solo that all, but OK). AoE, high burst, fully HC geared it does not matter in that case you're as useless as someone who is DCed. Another example is chain lightning on Spine, to proc fulmination, to nuke Tendons. It does AoE dmg which is useful for you (for proc), but not effectively good. Shows on meters. Or if in some fight you are asked to single target 1 down and then AoE. You ignore, all stay up too long, oops wipe. Or if you take Ascendant Council for example. A high DPS who has no clue can really fuck up the fight. Been there, done it. Maloriak HC I remember doing as fire mage. So I finally got some nice procs and just when I got pyroblast and combustion up I want to spread it and splat, dead. There went my AoE dmg. Heck, on Spine HC there are tons and tons of adds. You really don't want to nuke them all down though. And finally, there is Alysrazor, where the tanks and the people who go up do more than the DPS who stay down and the healers. Does not mean they are more or less useful, it says fuck all about their skill. On heroic Lord Rhyolith, Al'Akir I also did insane AoE dmg. Did not mean I was better than the rest of the raid. Not even all AoE dmg was useful, and the use of it wasn't always in my control either.
In this and other posts I gave so many examples, all from Cataclysm. I don't understand how people can be so stubborn and ignorant to ignore them. Every single example I gave is valid. They all skew the numbers in a way where without proper analysis it does not rate the highest "damage done" as "the best damage dealer".
By the way, the same is true for healers. Healers also have assignements, and CDs. You can do 30k HPS on Madness, if you fail to pop your Aura Mastery or Hand of Sacrifice + bubble on the right moment (which by now you should know, if not ask) then you failed, you suck, and if you do it again I'd replace your useless ass and get a healer who is smart enough to pop CDs when required. I once did Madness on my resto druid. Me and the other druid healer popped Tranq on exactly the same moment. We stayed on boss. I don't know about him (he had 8/8 HC, good gear) but I was OOM, it was my last option. We did not communicate, no voice chat, and we wiped with something like 2%. If we did not pop it at the same time, we would both have healed more and it might've been a kill.
Rohan, I disagree with your assumption that 10M damage is as important as 10M damage. I think it's a fallacy; consider that the DPS purpose is not only to kill the boss (and adds) dead but also to prevent the DTPS on the raid and DTPS in most encounters changes over time based on the encounter timers and tactics employed by the raid. Hence, a DPS that does the same damage during the encounter but does less damage at times when DPS contribute little or even negatively towards damage taken, contributes less towards the kill.ReplyDelete
Consider a DPS on Madness that does not switch from the tentacles/head. While she decreases the damage taken thanks to killing them sooner compared to lower DPS that switches, she also increases the damage as she makes the mobs stay on low health (when they deal more damage) longer.
While she might be good enough to keep her position on meters even if she played normally, she definitely contributes less than she would if she did the same DPS but switched targets. That means that DPS who do (slightly) lower damage but follow the tactics contribute more but show as worse on the DPS meters.
The difference might not be large - actually I have no idea how to compute the DPS modifier that has to be applied for each case of not following the tactics - but it is there.

He was born in Princeton and attended high school in Trenton. During the Korean War he served in the Navy.
He and his wife, the former Carol King, had lived in Chestnut Hill for 44 years before moving to Virginia Beach, Va., in 2002.
In addition to his wife, Mr. Bache is survived by a son, Christopher; a daughter, Lori Bacon, and two grandchildren. A sister, Gloria Hendrickson, preceded him in death.
Funeral services were held March 9 in Virginia Beach, with interment in Rosewood Memorial Park in that city. – WF

Steen's OT Gives Blues Win Over Kings
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Alex Steen stole the puck from goalie Jonathan Quick behind the net and scored a short-handed goal to give the St. Louis Blues a 2-1 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
Steen scored unassisted on a backhander at 13:26 of overtime less than a minute after Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk was whistled for a double-minor high sticking when he cut Dustin Penner.
Steen also scored on a power play in the first period for the Blues, who ended an eight-game losing streak against the team that swept them in the second round last spring.
Quick, last year's Conn Smythe winner as playoff MVP, made 35 saves in regulation, keeping the Kings in it for Justin Williams' tying goal with 31.6 seconds left.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. - The Little East Conference has announced the junior forward Carl Joseph (Brockton, Mass.) has been named a First Team and All-Defensive Team honoree, making him the second player in the last two seasons to earn a spot on both teams respectively.
For the Brockton native, his junior season was by-far the best of his standout career with the Beacons. An All-Rookie Team selection in 2012, Joseph carried the Beacons throughout the 2013-14 campaign. In 24 games played he averaged 17.8 points per game which also lead the Little East Conference. A 44.4% shooter from the field, Joseph recorded 10 or more points in every game he played in but one this season and hit a career-high 26 points in three different games. For his standout play this season he received two Little East Conference Player of the Week nods and finished the year with a combined five double-doubles.
The conference leader in minutes played, Joseph saw a total of 904 minutes (34.8 mpg) of action as a junior. His defensive dominance was highlighted by his career best 47 blocks which ranked him in the top-5 in the conference.
Throughout the year Joseph was the foundation to the Beacons line-up earning a spot in the starting five in all but two contests. In his first two games of the season he recorded back-to-back double-doubles first totaling 19 points and 11 rebounds against Nichols College before reaching his career-high 26 points, while also grabbing 10 boards in the win over Newbury College.
He would then lead the Beacons to a 1-1 finish in the Annual Harbor Invitational and earned a spot on the All-Tournament team following an 11 point and 26 point showing in the first round and championship games respectively. His best defensive performance came in the January 7 win over Framingham State University when he blocked five shots, while also picking up a pair of steals.
A dominant force on the glass, Joseph grabbed a team-best 115 defensive rebounds and finished in the top-10 in the LEC in rebounds per game with 6.8 (177 reb.). His biggest double-double of the year came on February 18 when he dropped in 21 points, while also collecting 13 rebounds in the Clark Gymnasium against the University of Southern Maine.

I'm a "scatter-focus" artist. ANYTHING may be here or roundabout my galleries. Expect nothing anywhere and...
Hello everyone. I'm a Sacramento artist of photography, music, writing and fractals. For cameras, I use the Nikons D90 & D80 DSLR's & an S6000 compact, an old Minolta Maxxum 5000i SLR, and one of the first Sony HandyCam Super 8 video recorders. As a musician, I've been a keyboardist for about 46 years, playing professionally for about 44 years. My current keyboards are a Korg M3, Korg SH-101, and a Honer Melodica. I've managed to create 5 albums of original music, 3 published albums of other peoples work, and composed numerous songs that went nowhere in particular. Some of the lyrics are posted here.
My music is hosted by You Tube as "videos". They are mostly 'images over sound' but a few have a slide show of art you may not see in my Red Bubble portfolio.
Here's my BigCatLenny You Tube Channel, one you can watch without joining or signing up for anything. Pop on it and you can leave comments either there or here and I will get notifications in email. Enjoy!!!
There are also some pieces I played and recorded with the band Caligator. I was the sole performer on them; please keep that in mind because some fine musicians played and recorded them. But the keyboard parts were written, performed and recorded by me at my peak ability (tho you may question the word "ability". LOL!)
As a writer, I have a small book of adult short stories, numerous poems, a few rants & essays, and the occasional unidentified rambling. :-) I use any free fractal program I can find but lean hard towards Incendia, tho Apophysis 2.09 is fantastic. I sometimes pretend to be a humorist so humour me. :-D
I haven't found a 'solo subject' that captures my full interest or attention as a "specialty" so my art ranges from 'light paintings' to computer graphics to the moon to ambient sounds – literally. Basically, I've shot or recorded anything I've seen or heard. There's a smattering of a few things I can't even see without macro photography and a few things I can't hear cuz I'm half deaf in the ear I can hear out of. Whether it's out there or between my ears, I may have it online…somewhere. ;-)
Should you or anyone you know be interested in something I've produced, I'd love to hear from you and will gladly personalize any purchase. Also, titles are put on art the way you see them in Red Bubble, but if a title bugs you but you want the piece, I'll make a non-public title more to your liking. ;-)
Thanks for coming to my profile page and reading. :-) (Of course I'm assuming you're reading or you wouldn't be reading this). Please also enjoy my Galleries where it's easier to find my art by categories:
Wildlife ~ Anything wild and free that knows no bounds
Weedy Field ~ This is a wonderful piece of undeveloped land between office buildings where the wildlife and I share a special relationship.
Birds ~ Birds of my neighbourhood, the woods, mountains, and shores are here.
Water ~ I have a special fascination for water in all forms.
Structures ~ Anything manmade might be found in here.
Flowers ~ Some of the first images I shot as a semi-professional photographer were flowers.
Fractals ~ Computer art using a small mountain of freeware programs.
Animals of the Nevada County Faire ~ Some of the fun sights at the 2008 faire
Mushrooms, lichen and other life ~ While the first two subjects in this group are obvious, the last one will be anything that doesn't fit in other lifeform groups.
The Face-To-Face Series ~ …a collection of my encounters with life that seems to take an interest in MY face as much as I take in THEIRS! Caution: some faces only a mother could love!!!! (Some say 'mine included!')
Images From Graveyards Of The West ~ Some of the area's most unique past respectfully captured mostly in black & white. They are shown here for historic and artistic reasons; they aren't for sale.
The Empire Mine: Gold Mining From California's Gold Rush Era ~ Exactly what it sounds like: Gold Country history with a focus on the rich Empire Mine – where gold still exists as before!

Shuvinai Ashoona
Canadian, b. 1961
Chapel, 2004
felt-tip pen, coloured pencil on paper
66.3 x 50.8 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from the Winnipeg Rh Foundation Inc.
Shuvinai Ashoona is a member of one of the most prominent artistic families in Cape Dorset. Her grandmother was the late Pitseolak Ashoona and her father is Kiugak Ashoona, a prominent sculptor. She did not begin creating drawings until 1993, but quickly distinguished herself as an artist with an unconventional and often unsettling vision. Like her cousin, Annie Pootoogook, Shuvinai interprets contemporary life in her community and globally, but her vision is often dreamlike. Virtually the entire surface of the paper becomes flat and closed in. The works are static and timeless, with no indication of day or night or season. The bird's-eye point of view, as in the WAG drawing, gives a further sense of emotional and physical detachment.

Uncoordinated movement is due to a muscle control problem that causes an inability to coordinate movements. It leads to a jerky, unsteady, to-and-fro motion of the middle of the body (trunk) and an unsteady gait (walking style). It can also affect the limbs.
The medical name of this condition is ataxia.
Lack of coordination; Loss of coordination; Coordination impairment; Ataxia; Clumsiness; Uncoordinated movement
Smooth graceful movement requires a balance between different muscle groups. A part of the brain called the cerebellum manages this balance.
Diseases that damage the cerebellum, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves can interfere with normal muscle movement. The result is large, jerky, uncoordinated movements.
Brain injuries or diseases that can cause uncoordinated movements include:
Poisoning or toxic effects caused by:
Other causes include:
A home safety evaluation by a physical therapist may be helpful.
Use safety measures around the home to make it easier to get around. For example, get rid of clutter, leave wide walkways, and remove throw rugs or other objects that might cause slipping or falling.
People with this condition should be encouraged to take part in normal activities. Family members need to be patient with a person who has poor coordination. Take time to show the person ways to do tasks more easily. Take advantage of the person's strengths while avoiding his or her weaknesses.
Ask the health care provider whether walking aids, such as a cane or walker, would be helpful.
Call your health care provider if:
In an emergency, the patient will first be stabilized so that symptoms do not get worse.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam, which may include:
Medical history questions may include:
Tests that may be ordered include:
You may need to be referred to a specialist for diagnosis and treatment. If a specific problem is causing the ataxia, the problem will be treated. For example, if a medicine is causing coordination problems, the medicine may be changed or stopped. Other causes may not be treatable. The doctor can tell you more.

I've never been a fan of the more well-known websites because in my opinion they are just too corporatist. Seems like they water things down and don't put any heart into anything anymore. That's why I love RPGFan. Our reviewers are all true gamers that still love RPGs and gaming in general.
Quote from: Kevadu on August 05, 2013, 11:51:15 PMdesperately sticking in fancy words and phrases trying to sound smart without really grasping the nuisances of their usage.I agree it really is a nuisance to use language, particularly fancy words. I read the review and it is very IGN.
desperately sticking in fancy words and phrases trying to sound smart without really grasping the nuisances of their usage.
Isn't an 8.0 on IGN like a 9.8 from an actual RPG fan review? I just read their end of review summary since I got the chance to play around 15-20 hours of the import and the summary part sounded fine at least to me for an IGN review. I do disagree about the graphics though. I think the graphics are pretty damn great if you like the art style. They don't feel outdated to me.Why doesn't Ashton's review show up on metacritic?
To add more to the discussion, I don't necessarily feel that it's large-website homogenization that's the problem here. In recent years IGN has really been pushing video/audio content over written content. Written reviews have also gotten noticeably shorter, no doubt because they ran some numbers and figured most people don't actually read them beyond a certain length so why bother. But I think the biggest problem is that they really want to be an internet TV channel or something, with video news, video reviews, video editorials, etc. There is much less emphasis on the written word these days. Personally I hate video content because I can't just skim it and pick out the parts I care about, but I guess I'm in the minority.P.S.: I don't give a shit about their score. That was never my complaint.
So is Milla supposed to have a lisp, or is that just bad audio recording? Kind of hard to tell.

State Board recognizes Exemplary Educators
Board presents the Illinois Teacher of the Year and the Milken National Educator with Resolutions
SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Illinois State Board of Education honored the 2014 Illinois Teacher of the Year, Pam Reilly, and the 2013 Illinois Milken National Educator, Melissa Leisner, with resolutions and accolades at their regular monthly meeting today (Wednesday) in Springfield.
"The Board and I are very pleased to have this opportunity to meet and recognize these outstanding teachers,†said State Board Chairman Gery J. Chico. "Pam and Melissa are excellent examples of the great teachers across Illinois who are committed to helping students succeed. We are glad to get the chance to thank them personally for their tremendous dedication and achievements.â€
Pam Reilly is a second-grade teacher at Woodbury Elementary School in Sandwich CUSD 430. She was named the 2014 Illinois Teacher of the Year in October. Now in her 12th year of teaching, Ms. Reilly is recognized as a collaborator and a leader by her colleagues in the Sandwich district, home of six schools serving more than 2,300 students.
Colleagues and parents said Ms. Reilly's enthusiasm, advocacy and dedication inspire them to go the extra distance in providing students with the tools they need to be successful learners. Students concurred that Ms. Reilly keeps them focused and motivated to learn.
The 2013 Illinois Milken National Educator, Melissa Leisner, is a seventh-grade English and language arts teacher at Prairie Knolls Middle School in Central Community Unit District 301, Elgin. Ms. Leisner was told of her selection as a Milken National Educator during a school assembly in November.
Currently in her 15th year of teaching, Ms. Leisner is described as an outstanding role model for her students and colleagues. Leisner never gives up and never stops working on improving her teaching to help students improve their learning. She builds relationships with students and encourages them to provide feedback so that she can better support them.
Nomination packets for the 2014 Those Who Excel/Illinois Teacher of the Year Program will be available in January. More than 180 nominations were reviewed and scored for the 2013 program.

Comedic actors use elements of technique and timing to showcase humor in their characters' actions. Comedic actors can work in sitcoms, romantic comedy films, general comedy films, commercials, and other humorous productions.
Commercial actors employ techniques such as cue card reading, improvisation, reaction, and product handling to represent corporations, products, and services in television advertisements.
Actors in dramas portray solemn characters in movies, television series, theatre performances, and other works often focusing on serious social, political, or religious issues.
Film actors concentrate on feature-length performances usually of a comedic or dramatic nature.
Mimes use silent expression to show their characters' feelings and activities through motivated movement, or form.
Musical Theatre
Musical theatre actors must combine elements of acting, singing, and dancing for a stage performance. Some musical theatre productions contain both song and spoken dialogue, while others rely solely upon songs.
Period actors are charged with developing credible characters representing the different social, economic, and political climates of different eras.
Television actors perform in sitcoms and drama series that generally air during prime time hours, as well as in daytime programs such as soap operas.
Actors in the theatre embrace techniques of comedy, drama, period, and musical theatre acting to execute a stage production.

Natural Gas Utilities and Energy Efficiency
Direct use of natural gas in homes and businesses is extraordinarily efficient, achieving 92 percent efficiency from the point of production to delivery to the consumer. By investing in the efficiency of buildings and appliances, promoting smart energy choices and subsidizing energy-saving efforts for low-income families, natural gas utilities are helping their customers save money and reduce their carbon footprint, while maintaining the comfort and productivity of their homes and businesses.
- In 2012, natural gas utilities invested $1.1 billion in natural gas efficiency programs, helping customers reduce their typical annual natural gas usage by an average 16 percent and save $117 in annual energy costs.
- Natural gas utility efficiency programs helped offset 7.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2012.
- Natural gas utilities contributed nearly $3.7 billion in assistance to low-income customers in 2012.
- Choosing natural gas heating appliances can double home energy savings.
- In typical home appliances, the direct use of natural gas results in energy consumption that is 28 percent less than a similar home with all-electric appliances.
- Natural gas water heaters are nearly 50 percent more efficient on a full-fuel-cycle energy comparison. Natural gas furnaces and boilers are up to 96 percent efficient.
Building green means living better, smarter and healthier.
By choosing energy-efficient building materials and supplies, homeowners can make positive changes to both inside and outside environments, creating homes that are better for you and our world.
Building green does not necessarily mean starting from scratch or spending more money. There are many ways to improve the green factor in existing homes by using longer-lasting and sustainable materials.

Organic, gluten free, and non-GMO protein bars, granolas, and snacks will tout it as a healthy starring ingredient, while forgetting to mention that they're adding as much sugar as a candy bar.
The standard size Snickers bar has 20g of sugar. Vega's choco-coconut protein bar clocks in at 19g. Plus with all the processing, who knows how much antioxidant power is left?
If you're sick of these nutritional abominations, then this food is for you.
Used to make chocolate, this is what the inside of a raw cacao pod looks like. Macambo is very similar.
They are the least processed form of chocolate.
Cacao nibs are made from the "beans" of the Theobroma cacao plant. Technically seeds, these are removed from the pods and fermented with yeast for 5-10 days in closed containers. This changes their color to dark brown. Lastly, they're air dried or roasted.
The nutritional difference between cacao nibs and cacao powder is fat content. The white outer lining of the bean contains the most fat, known as butter. This is removed before making the powder, which is why it has low fat content. With nibs, the butter is left intact and the beans haven't been ground.
What cacao nibs taste like is bitter, comparable to black coffee. They're not like normal chocolate, since there's no sugar added. This shortfall in flavor is made up with the enjoyable crunch of the nibs and their buttery texture on your tongue. For best taste, use as a topping on something sweeter.
That's why nibs are a favorite topping for acai bowls .
Some sources erroneously claim that nibs are just the unprocessed raw beans which have been chopped or coarsely ground. That's not true.
They can be raw in the sense that they're processed below 118 °F (48 °C). Though for both the nibs and the powder, even when they are advertised as raw they have been fermented, at the very least.even when they are advertised as raw they have been fermented, at the very least.
This is because to get the taste of chocolate – even the unsweetened cacao powder – there needs to be fermentation. Most often, there's also heating after that.
If you were to just crack open a pod and eat the non-fermented seeds, you would find they are more white and taste nothing like raw powder or nibs.
Since the word raw is not legally defined or regulated, food manufacturers can market pasteurized, baked, and/or boiled foods as "raw" even when they're not, according to the common man's definition.Location of the Thalamus Functions of the Thalamus Lesson Summary

Derrick has taught biology and chemistry at both the high school and college level. He has a master's degree in science education.
The brain is composed of many parts. They are defined by their locations, functions, and anatomy. The thalamus is a structure in the middle of the brain. It is located between the cerebral cortex and the midbrain. It works to correlate several important processes, including consciousness, sleep, and sensory interpretation.
E-commerce allows customers to overcome geographical barriers and allows them to purchase products anytime and from anywhere. Online and traditional markets have different strategies for conducting business. Traditional retailers offer fewer assortment of products because of shelf space where, online retailers often hold no inventory but send customer orders directly to the manufacture. The pricing strategies are also different for traditional and online retailers. Traditional retailers base their prices on store traffic and the cost to keep inventory. Online retailers base prices on the speed of delivery.
There are two ways for marketers to conduct business through e-commerce: fully online or online along with a brick and mortar store. Online marketers can offer lower prices, greater product selection, and high efficiency rates. Many customers prefer online markets if the products can be delivered quickly at relatively low price. However, online retailers cannot offer the physical experience that traditional retailers can. It can be difficult to judge the quality of a product without the physical experience, which may cause customers to experience product or seller uncertainty. Another issue regarding the online market is concerns about the security of online transactions. Many customers remain loyal to well-known retailers because of this issue. [62] [63]
Security is a primary problem for e-commerce in developed and developing countries. E-commerce security is protecting business' websites and costumers from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. The type of threats include: malicious codes, unwanted programs (

For a long time, companies had been troubled by the gap between the benefits which supply chain technology has and the solutions to deliver those benefits. However, the emergence of e-commerce has provided a more practical and effective way of delivering the benefits of the new supply chain technologies.

E-commerce has the capability to integrate all inter-company and intra-company functions, meaning that the three flows (physical flow, financial flow and information flow) of the supply chain could be also affected by e-commerce. The affections on physical flows improved the way of product and inventory movement level for companies. For the information flows, e-commerce optimised the capacity of information processing than companies used to have, and for the financial flows, e-commerce allows companies to have more efficient payment and settlement solutions.

Creative Oaxacan bites and cocktails to remind you of Mexico The chef behind Speedy Romeo (Brooklyn's St. Louis-style pizza purveyor) takes on another part of the world at Oxomoco -- a Mexican joint cooking up authentic Oaxacan bites in a wood-fired oven. Corn tortillas filled with grilled asparagus, soft shell crab, swordfish, and pork cheek, alongside cocktails like the Savage Detective (mezcal, vermouth, pear) are best enjoyed on an improbably intimate front-facing patio.Creative Oaxacan bites and cocktails to remind you of Mexico
A robust craft beer operation highlighting brewers of color Opening day at Harlem Hops drew block-long lines of locals thirsty for 16 rotating craft beers on tap. Sidle up to the bar or settle into the backyard patio and let the expert staff walk you through the carefully considered draught, can, and bottled beers. Try a few with a flight and a Bavarian pretzel or Bratwurst accompaniment.A robust craft beer operation highlighting brewers of color
Flash-frozen nitrogen ice cream for your Instagram feed Creamistry brought its stripmall aesthetic to its first NYC location last month. In spite of antiseptic environs, the chain's gimmick -- ice cream treats that emit smoky liquid nitrogen plumes -- is best for your out-of-town cousins who want to "hashtag New York," but still need the familiarity of Georgia, Rancho Cucamonga, or whatever. Scoops of the exceptionally creamy flash-frozen stuff come in flavors like Cap'n Crunch, cookie butter, and pure roasted pistachio, topped with a melange of cereals, classic candy bar crumbles, and sauces. And if you need to free one hand for social-media-ing, ditch the spoon, and order your creation in ice cream sandwich form.Flash-frozen nitrogen ice cream for your Instagram feed
Seafood-heavy Greek fare served in authentic Mediterranean digs Drink enough Skinos Mastiha at Kyma and you'll feel like you've escaped NYC's summer blast furnace and landed on an Aegean island. The white stucco, two-story Greek restaurant is filled with the obvious fixings: pottery, olive trees, and a fresh fish display. The menu is divided by land and sea and reaches far beyond your standard steak and lamb specials. Whole fish are simply grilled, crispy zucchini and eggplant chips are an airy vehicle for tzatziki, and oysters taste like they were just plucked from the Mediterranean.Seafood-heavy Greek fare served in authentic Mediterranean digs
Market-driven neighborhood kitchen with a creative menu Over the years, Fort Greene has become a dining destination, and Evelina is among the area's culinary pulse points. Chef Lanfranco Paliotti (Daniel, Boulud Sud) re-writes specials daily depending on the morning's market produce, pasta is made fresh in house, and the cocktail menu is as market-driven as the salads. Share plates of charred octopus with sliced orange and a marjoram vinaigrette, or burrata with hazelnut romesco, tomato, and basil, before digging into rigatoni with oxtail ragú and shaved Piave Vecchio.

Kibibi Ganz had one caveat when she and her husband, Matthew, hired Boston-based design firm Color Theory to decorate their new home: It had to be colorful. The Ganzes had worked with the team--husband and wife Brad Dufton and Kendra Amin-Dufton--before, having hired them to create a nursery in their Somerville condo. While they loved the results, Kibibi knew about Brad's passion: "Brad loves gray." But Brad assured her color would figure prominently, so they sealed the deal.

Rush to Judgement
I don't think I'm breaking Top Secret secrets, but let me tell you, this Rush situation is a real window into how Big Guy operates.
Almost immediately after learning Rush has been rushed to the hospital for care of possible heart attack symptoms, Big Guy had questions, like, "Please tell me it's life-threatening," and "I thought I barred government assassinations of enemies of the state," and "Is this the hospital where I was allowed to pull the plug on Grammy, and if so, when can I go visit Rush to give him my best?" He had others, too, but given operational security, I can't share them with you.
Perhaps those weren't the most pertinent questions, but you can see how Big Guy was focused like a laser on the immediate threat, particularly since, with Rush being bedridden, on blood-thinners and with both sides of his brain likely tied behind his back, this could provide Big Guy his best opportunity to best him. Assuming I was there to lend a hand. But as Gibbsy said during our third briefing on the matter before Big Guy went snorkling, "Likely isn't a certainty at all."
While Rush is clearly a sore point with Big Guy, Rush is aces in my book. He helped promote this site and encouraged me to be open about the goings on in the Oval.
I wish him speedy recovery, and I will do my best to distract Big Guy once he's back from seashell-necklace-stringing class with Lady M.
And Happy New Year to you all.

And it still wouldn't be close at all, if Big Guy had to depart from your prepared remarks!
Happy New Year, TOTUS!
Happy New Year, TOTUS. Yours secrets are safe with us!ReplyDelete
Oh, TOTUS, Dear, where were the Axeman and Toes when Rush took ill?ReplyDelete
I join fans of the TOTUS in wishing him/her/it a HAPPY NEW YEAR!ReplyDelete
Surely we can all look forward to better news to report as the GOP surges back in 2010!
Toasts to the Totus as today's template is tending,well,one is tempted to attempt one.ReplyDelete
But when the wonder is wounded,they worry one.
What would one do without the wonder of (insert angelic chorus here),
Rush Hudson Limbaugh.
Rush might be down but our President is now lamer than a double amputee duck.
Watch out should he ever get airborne again tho,as those shorts are as full of bombs as today's jihadi du'jour.(Gee,Hottie to some).
He made a stopover in Houston last year but the 'islamic institute' he attended had such astonishing attendance that finding his name starting with "Abd" on those vast alphabetical summer session lists was proving a problem.
Now they can't quite name his seminar either.
Speculation abounds that same wahabbi institute offers the very same courses in his home of Londonistan,and that the Houston trip was all a ruse.
As Astro might say,Ruh Roh.
I had other fish to fry today.
My gears were grinding,my ulcer was boiling,and were it more than metaphorical,my hemorrhoid would be throbbing too.
None of the popular nostrums of the day would help.TrusTWWorthy Prepstone could not be trusted to cure my ills,nor PreptoBizmo,
or Preperation H(eh) either.
I would still have to pee again.
It is in my nature,(note avatar at left).
Today I would pee upon pardners of the perniciousness that are always SHOCKED,when their,average Joe,mainstream buddy goes all jihadi and kills a bunch of people.
Why he seemed so nice,and very religious,they will say.None of his ideas seemed very extremist at all.
It is because his extremist ideas are very common in that community.They don't stand out.They are plain old everyday vanilla beliefs that are as common as taters,and in truth as strong as some peoples breath.
And every bit as noxious.
BTW the key to a proper presentation of a passable pronunciation for the President is to
pronounce Yemeneeese (or approppriate pronoun)
precisely. Pluralize it and poof,problems pass and One may pander at will,(as one hears was done w that highly succesful UN charity
Perfect Brownie Pandering.
Peas out pals.
Best of the new decade to you all.
And no mention of Toes, eh? Covering for his clandestine attacks on conservative radio hosts? Et tu, TOTUS?ReplyDelete
And a very happy new year to you, too...

Big Guy is right to be worried, TOTUS. Rush is at the same hospital where Big Guy was born. Could Rush be there undercover to look for the birth certificate...?ReplyDelete
TOTUS - Kudos to you & a quick recovery to Rush! His mention of your site is what brought so many of us here.ReplyDelete
Big Guy must be SO MIFFED at Rush stealing BG's Hawaiian Holiday headlines. (Prep that is as tongue-twisty as I can get. )
Wishes for a great New Year FOT's!
6p etc, etc... is saying that Rush is in KENYA. What's with that, TOTUS?ReplyDelete
ML, good one. HOPEfully, [Bru]TUS will kill a Czar or two (or three or nine or 57 or ....Aloha).
debbdi -- that's a great point about Rush's clever diversion tactic [heh, heh ;)]. Hadn't thought of that. Almost as good as Dope killing his grandma right on cue.
Prep[aration] H[a!] -- yet another fine post, dear Mr. P.. Gotta go make dinner -- I'll talk at you later.
For now, a little buttered toast:
To Wonderful Wits [like you]!
What, no speeding presidential motorcade this time? I guess if Rush had gotten a small scratch instead of a near-heart attack, Big Guy would have screamed through the streets and right to his side.ReplyDelete
Preptile, hope your bowels are no longer in an uproar. I was going to comment in detail on your super post above, but it would take me longer than I have, so, I'll just PPPPick out a couple of gems:ReplyDelete
1. "pardners of the perniciousness that are always SHOCKED,when their,average Joe,mainstream buddy goes all jihadi and kills a bunch of people."
What dopes. They leave open only 3 possiblities, none of which are desirable:
A. They are stupid.
B. They are insane.
C. They are lying.
Same routine with Peach Obama and his rev-runt Jeremiah, "I had no idea.... just a crazy uncle, I guess....." -- Dumb? Psychotic? Or Lying? Hmmmmmm.
Islam is inherently violent.
The Koran is a dung heap of half-truths and lies.
Moooo-hah-mud was a pervert and a liar.
"Religion of peace" my eye.
2. "As Astro might say,Ruh Roh." [:o)]
God bless you, all you wonderful members of the United States Armed Forces.
Thank you.
Verse to take into the new year:ReplyDelete
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." II Corinthians 4:8, 9. NIV
Breibart reported that Rush's "doctors haven't confirmed whether the 58-year-old had a heart attack, and more exams were planned Thursday."ReplyDelete
Two other conditions come to mind associated with chest pains: 1) pleurisy (I know from personal experience) and 2) a gallbladder attack.
Gallbladder disease can be brought on by losing a lot of weight. It's quite possible, since Rush has lost a lot of weight (80+ lbs.), that he had a gallbladder attack.
All toghether now:ReplyDelete
Rush Hudson Limbaugh!
MMMMMm,mmmmmm, mmmmm.
{Thanks, Pea, for the reminder!}
Hope he is resting comfortably in The Barry Memorial Hospital in Hawaii.
And I believe Bill Bennet, bless his heart, let the kitty-cat outta the bag on yesterday's MORNING IN AMERICA Radio Show when he said he was invited to THE WEDDING "sometime in the summer". Whooo knew? (Not this nosey broad.)
Happy New Year, all. And thanks, TOTUS, for all the laughs.ReplyDelete
Good one, and thanks for the laughs TOTUS. Best wishes for 2010!ReplyDelete
Love to Rush, and you too, TOTUS.ReplyDelete

Should I still be doing maintenance on my aeration system this time of year?
Sharon – Farmington, MI
Your aeration system is a very important tool in keeping your pond clean and healthy throughout the entire year. Whether your are just starting your system up for the first time this season or have been aerating your pond all winter long there is never a bad time to do a quick maintenance check on your aeration equipment.
A lot of potential issues can be resolved just by visually inspecting your aeration unit. Regularly inspecting your aeration system's pressure gauges, exposed airlines and cooling fans can help locate line blockages and worn or broken parts that could damage your aeration system if left unnoticed. If the airlines are blocked by ice or debris the pressure gauge on your aeration system will begin to climb. Once too much pressure builds up in the compressor a pressure relief valve will open to drain the air causing a loud "hissing" noise. No air is making it into your pond when this happens and your compressor will begin to overwork itself causing rapid wear and tear.
Your aeration system needs air to function properly. A clogged or dirty air filter will restrict the amount of air that enters your aeration system reducing performance. Furthermore, dust and debris that are allowed to pass through your air filter will travel into the compressor and wear out moving parts faster than usual reducing the life of your aerator. Check and clean your air filter regularly and replace the air filter element every 3 to 6 months.
When the ice completely thaws over your pond this spring it is a good idea to raise your aeration plates and inspect them for broken or missing parts. Airstones should be cleaned or replaced with membrane diffusers, and the connection between your airline and aeration plate should be checked and tightened if necessary. Compressor maintenance kits are available for Airmax® Aeration systems and should be installed every 3 to 5 years. These kits contain replacement parts for the wear and tear items in your compressor which break down and diminish performance over time. Each kit comes with instructions and images and is simple to install. If you do not feel up to the challenge or feel more comfortable having a professional install your maintenance kit you can contact a pond guy or gal toll free at 866-766-3435 to send your system in for maintenance.
Like a vehicle, your aeration system requires regular maintenance to keep it performing at its best. Keeping your aeration system clean and well maintained extends the lifespan of the unit and ensures your system is running as efficiently as possible.
Pond Talk: How often do you inspect and maintain your aeration systems. Have your regular inspections caught potential problems?

Bob_hazy needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 30 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Blurt! -- Just Say It.... TeleMeister Strategic Services, LLC
Bob Hazy is an industry recognized expert in customer service technology seeking to change how customer service works. This tool will immediately make sense to web shoppers everywhere, whether buying books at Amazon, snagging cool stuff on eBay, or purchasing naughty unmentionables from Victoria's Secret. Here's your chance to play in the big-leagues.
Target: Nearly all webshopper/ecommerce applications. Also useful for Technical Support. Used for any online interaction where a voice message would make more sense than email, chat, or **waiting** for someone to come on the phone line.
See the JPG's attached below to immediately "get" the concept. I need to replace these versions with your re-imagined version.
You will be drawing the primary graphic for an audio message player that will be incorporated into a browser-based Flash plugin.
The existing version purposely resembles a "walkie-talkie", and replacement designs may or may not opt to employ this metaphor. The functional object (image + software) is referred to as "the Player."
This graphic will be used primarily in a customer service tool on eCommerce websites (such as Amazon, eBay, etc.). Users will use this tool (in concert with a microphone + speakers) to record and submit audio questions, and to playback audio responses.
I need you to design the background player, and maybe to redesign the buttons as well.
