How to: Remove a SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance (Setup)
Use this procedure to uninstall a SQL Server failover clustered instance.
To update or remove a SQL Server failover cluster, you must be a local administrator with permission to login as a service on all nodes of the failover cluster.
Before you begin
Consider the following important points before you uninstall a SQL Server failover cluster:
On a computer running SQL Server 2008 along with previous SQL Server versions, Enterprise Manager and other programs that depend on SQL-DMO may be disabled. This can occur in the following situations:
Side-by-side installations of SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2000, and/or SQL Server 7.0, where any of the versions is uninstalled.
Side-by-side installations of SQL Server 2000 with SQL Server 2008, where SQL Server 2000 is installed after SQL Server 2008.
This issue is due to removal of the registration for the SQL Server 2008 SQL-DMO COM library. To re-enable SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager and other programs with SQL-DMO dependencies, register SQL-DMO by running 'regsvr32.exe sqldmo.dll' from a command prompt.
If SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2008 are installed side-by-side in a clustered environment, SQL Server Native Client should not be uninstalled if you uninstall SQL Server 2008. The SQL Server Resource DLL from SQL Server 2008 always uses SQL Server Native Client to connect to SQL Server. When SQL Server 2008 is installed, the SQL Server Cluster Resource DLL is upgraded. When SQL Server 2008 is uninstalled, the SQL Server Resource DLL is not replaced with the version required by SQL Server 2000. Leaving SQL Server Native Client on cluster nodes allows the SQL Server Resource DLL to continue to connect to instances of SQL Server 2000.
If SQL Server Native Client is uninstalled by accident, SQL Server resources will fail to start. To reinstall SQL Server Native Client, run the SQL Server Setup program to install SQL Server prerequisites.
If you uninstall a failover cluster that has more than one SQL IP cluster resource, you must remove the additional SQL IP resources using cluster administrator.
For information about command prompt syntax, see How to: Install SQL Server 2008 R2 from the Command Prompt.
To uninstall a SQL Server failover cluster
- To uninstall a SQL Server failover cluster, use the Remove Node functionality provided by SQL Server Setup to remove each node individually. For more information, see How to: Add or Remove Nodes in a SQL Server Failover Cluster (Setup).

A sad situation
The question now is what the university will do. Obviously the school let Tyrone Nelson play for far worse, and it's not like Pope is going to spend a day in prison, but do you feel he should be allowed on the court at NMSU given his background and his potential that could land him oversees or in the NBA as soon as next season should he choose that path.
26 comments:
Once NMSU officials get both sides of the story, and assuming they deem the police report accurate, I'm afraid its time to sever our ties with Mr. Pope. It is a sad situation. From my very shallow perspective, the guy can't seem to catch a break. Well, on second thought, maybe he did - he could have killed himself or others last night. I wish him well.

Herb Pope first gets shafted by the NCAA and is not able to play basketball because of one stupid class (not to mention he is a 3.0 student) and then made a bad decision. I understand it was a dumb decision but some of the blame should be placed on the NCAA, doesn't anyone else see that. We need Herb Pope and I hope Dr. Boston understands that.
- December 29, 2007 at 9:23 PM
Sad story.
Two close calls in one year. I really hope he gets his life in order.
- December 30, 2007 at 4:07 AM
I don't wish him well. He's a bad influence on law-abiding NMSU students and the sooner we see the back of him, the better.
- December 30, 2007 at 6:21 AM
Even if Herb Pope has NCAA Championship written all over him, I don't feel the risk to NMSU is worth it. Like it or not, the team represents us as fans and alumni and if Pope has to fight so hard to become academically eligible and stay out of trouble or keep from being shot, I don't feel that is the type of student athlete we need. Is he going to instantly turn around our season? No.
- December 30, 2007 at 7:33 AM
Anybody who gets arrested for DUI for the first time usually goes to court, pays a fine and probably gets probation without any jail time. What can I say, Herb is a typical teenager and went out drinking. Does that make him a bad person? NO Herb is not bad. He made a poor choice, is immature and maybe does not hang around with the peers who are looking out for his best interest. Also he is back at home and has way too much time on his hand. Can he be helped? Of course he can be helped. From previous article he did well academically the fall semester at NMSU. I don't know the bylaws at NMSU for offenses such as DUI whether he is out for a few games or the rest of the season. Me personally Herb has had to deal with many issues. Theus leaving, new coach, and then not elegible to play. I feel the young man deserves a chance. Suspend Herb a few games and show that you still believe in him. If he gets the ok to play with with the NCAA lawsuit, then let him play. I believe suspending him the remainder of the year would be devastating to him and he may give up all hope of playing.

You guys need to stop kissing Herbs butt.You act like trouble is just looking for this kid. He finds it on his own. He is very disrespectful towards adults. The coaches will due whatever possible to see to it that he is eligible. NMSU does not have special education classes. Who take s online classes in high school? For all we need did he really do the work or did someone else do it for him.
- December 30, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Herb always drinks in Cruces and El Paso. This is not new news. He just doesn't have a car in New Mexico or it probably would have happened sooner.
- December 30, 2007 at 12:11 PM
I think he has the ability to instantly turn around our season.
- December 30, 2007 at 1:15 PM
Just to be contray to stupid posts...Was Pope going to turn our season around and take us to the final four? Yes. Why, because I said so.
And anyone who thinks Pope is a bad influence on the "law abiding" NMSU students, must not read the paper. Presidents of frats constantly participate in the serving of alcohol to minors. Under age drinking is alive and well on campus. Don't be a knuckle head.
- December 30, 2007 at 1:59 PM
Man, a few of you talk about Herb Pope like he was a piece of meat, and his only value is that he can play basketball... That is part of the whole slam on college athletics, i.e. that the ones who provide the talent and entertainment (the athletes), don't benefit from what they provide. Sometimes this blog sounds just like the LC Sun News Sound Off; a lot of old bitties who have nothing better to do but complain. Maybe the best would be for NMSU to redshirt Herb this year (yes it is a risk) so that he can get himself straight as a student and get his priorities in order. We don't know yet how much of Herb's situation is because of his character or if he just made a bad decision, but is a good young man. Give him a chance to prove himself.
- December 30, 2007 at 2:56 PM
He's a stupid kid like many are. He's not the first athlete nor will he be the last to go out drinking. Its unfortunate he was behind a wheel but we can all feel fortunate that he was not moving, he was passed out so he didnt kill anyone.
This is a kid who needs a break. He comes from a tough background, he needs a team of good people supporting him to get him out of his current life situation. Everyone in life deserves a second chance. Everyone.
- December 30, 2007 at 5:35 PM
(Not that I want to change the subject, but I have no place else to ask). I saw that an assistant football coaches job is open at NMSU. Does anyone know who left (obviously not the DC, he's been replaced - who else?)
- December 30, 2007 at 5:36 PM
I honestly don't know how he passed the semester without taking finals. He left to go home the week before finals.
- December 30, 2007 at 6:29 PM
Did Pope do a dumb act? YES!
Is he blameless for all his bad karma? NO!
However, I have a problem when people get judgmental. We here in Las Cruces don't have an inkling of the life Pope has led back in Pennsylvania. He didn't have the support system and guidance many of us have had in our youth. Can Coach Menzies, his peers, and his professors help this kid mature? I DON'T KNOW?
However, I hate to pull the plug on a kid's education just because he acted like a normal but immature teenager. It's not like he stole a pizza or something...
- December 30, 2007 at 6:32 PM
Stop making excuses for Herb. He isn't the only player that had to deal with Reggie leaving. Every one dealt with having a new coach. Those are poor excuses. He knows right from wrong and if he can't handle it at this level oh my gosh! The NBA level brings alot more challeges, pressure and decisions.
- December 30, 2007 at 6:32 PM
A lot of good points have been made. I say that he shouldn't play this year for a variety of reasons. Redshirt him and give him the opportunity to turn it around. My guess is that he will hit the road for Europe, but at least NMSU did the right thing. He talks the talk, but certainly hasn't walked the walk. If he was truly committed to NMSU, why wasn't he back in Cruces on the 26th?
- December 31, 2007 at 5:38 AM
A lot of kids leave before the final week of exams for many reasons. Most professors will allow the student to take an exam early in order to accommodate them. I know this to be true first hand with my own children. When we were stationed overseas and my son was coming home for christmas there was an $1100 difference in the airfare, from one week to the next so he asked each professor if he could take his tests early and all allowed him to do so. I also know that many exams now are taken online and they can take them within their own timeframe, so Pope leaving a week early is probably not a concern.
Pope isnt the only student or student athlete that drinks. Lets get real, go to any frat party, sorority party, after football game parties, campus parties, off campus parties....not condoning it just saying lets not condem this kid. He needs a break and if he doesnt get one he may end up in a body bag back home.
- December 31, 2007 at 9:06 AM
I don't see NMSU kicking Pope off the team. Remember our infamous 0-12 football seasons opener against UTEP? They let our starting center (Martinez, I think) play the game, but immediately following he was to report to jail to serve his sentence for a DUI. So if he can get a DUI and still be on a sports team, why not Pope? Nelson was kicked off because his case was classified a felony, but I think Pope's is a misdemeanor. Obviously, Martinez's history probably isn't a complicated as Popes, but can NMSU hold events that happened prior to his time at the university against Pope?
Maybe the best thing would just be to tell him "You're not playing basketball for us, at least for the remainder of this season. If you choose you can still attend school here." I don't know if he would take advantage of staying in college, but at least it would offer him a way to stay away from Pennsylvania, where it seems that there is alot more temptation.
- December 31, 2007 at 10:02 AM
Well, well, well...its seems Herb Pope, more like Herb Joke, has caused yet some more drama surrounding his yet to be seen career as an NMSU basketball player. Excuse after excuse has been said for this little punk, and I for one am sick and tired of it! First the shooting, then the grades (or lack there of) and now the UNDERAGE DUI! Give him another chance? NO WAY, three strikes and your out. He obviously does not take his basketball career serious or what the NMSU Basketball program SHOULD stand for! He just continues to make a mockery of this fast fading NMSU basketball program! Laters Herb "Joke" Pope!
- December 31, 2007 at 2:57 PM
ok this is probably an unpopular post but...
my opinion. Hell with this guy. Lets forget the moral crap. Forget the charity crap. Sure Fraternity presidents get drunk. Sure lots of people fail classes... Who cares.
This dude dont want an NMSU diploma and we should all be fine with that. The guy is here to play basketball. Nothing more.
So, lets get his ass on the basketball court. It adds a tremendous amount of value to all of our diplomas if herb and jahmar took us deep into the tournament.
I dont disagree the guy should take a page out of Denvis Manns book on how to deal a blessing of talent, but hey just win baby. I have said it many times on this board before... THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO ADD VALUE TO OUR DIPLOMAS THEN TO PUT A SUCCESSFUL MENS BASKETBALL OR FOOTBALL TEAM OUT THERE.
Like it or not... in the 90's Neil McCarthy got more NMSU grads jobs than did any finance or engineering professor ever did.
- January 1, 2008 at 8:55 PM
Before you condemn Pope, consider that he is from one of the most financially stresses communities in the country (because of the loss of the steel mills).
also, his mom is a crack head (not trying to be funny here, his mother truly is addicted to crack cocaine) and his father, who has never been in his life, has been in and out of jail since the time he was 15.
Sure, Herb made a huge mistake (and has made more than a few) but before you go and drive through the ghetto that is Aliquippa, you have NO idea what Herb has had to endure.
- January 2, 2008 at 3:49 PM
"Like it or not... in the 90's Neil McCarthy got more NMSU grads jobs than did any finance or engineering professor ever did."
Wow. That is so wrong on so many levels. The only thing your post proves is that you are a world-class idiot. Keep up the good work.
I guess the "Free Herb Pope" T-shirts that everyone thought were awesome at the time, don't seem so cool now. At any other D1 school you would have a full blown investigation into all this Pope stuff. Too bad we don't have a real university here in Las Cruces.
I am just waiting for Boston to give Pope a scholarship "extension" in light of his recent "progress."
- January 3, 2008 at 3:31 PM
good post quiptown... most of these bloggers are probably middle to upperclass people who have nothing better to do than make blog posts on their new computers. the herb pope issue is more than basketball and more than acedemics. this type of problem stems from depression and a lack of guidence in a neglectfull society.
- January 3, 2008 at 4:44 PM

Man charged in Oldsmar fatal crash | Crime
Oldsmar, Florida -- A Clearwater man, recently released from the hospital for injuries he sustained in a fatal crash on Dec. 12, could now face jail time for his role in the crash.
After an investigation into the early morning accident in Oldsmar that killed 54-year-old Robert Raymer, Jr. of Holiday, the FHP has charged Jonathon Bytautas with vehicle homicide.
Investigators say Bytautas was heading north in a BMW on McMullen Booth Road when he ran a red light at the Curlew Road intersection and slammed into the passenger side of Raymer's Chevy pickup truck. After the impact, both cars collided with George Paajanen's Ford pickup and all three ended up in the northeast grass corner of the median.
Paajanen, 60, of Palm Harbor, was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Bytautas, 29, was treated for serious injuries at St. Joseph's Hospital and released on Dec. 23. Authorities are still waiting for the results of a toxicology test.

What do you think of the women-in-combat proposal?
My opinion is when woman volunteer to join the military to serve our country in other countries they should use weapons
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The comment posted by Tom McNulty in 2 February entitled "Women in combat no reason for joy" was right on the mark. As a retired military officer with over 20 years of active duty in numerous assignments serving with some exceptional female soldiers, I can confidently say that America is not ready for this. In my opinion, neither are the majority of women in the services. Equality has no place on the battlefield except death and when the body bag count begins to include a higher percentage of females we may have a different perspective of what real equality looks like and reveiw this policy. There are some occupations that really are gender specific.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
After fifty years for sure and maybe only twenty five it will seem normal. I guess we will have to pay more attention to troupes of baboons and analyze how they conduct warfare. Do they consider gender? Then we can deduce if mankind is progressing in its thinking and behavior or regressing.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This is a political move to gain support of women's rights groups. These women will be forced to meet the male physical fitness standards, not the current easy female requirements. Very few will have the physical ability to meet the male standards.

One reason to give thanks:
No homework over the break!
The days are getting shorter as your to-do list is getting longer. You might be tempted to postpone your class work until after Thanksgiving because you don't want to be doing homework while visiting family and friends, eating turkey, and sleeping off the tryptophan! But if you put off your studies, you could find yourself neck-deep in homework — and facing low motivation because the semester is almost over. Plus you'll have the added stress of studying for finals.
Choose a better course of action by doing homework ahead of time so you can relax over the Thanksgiving break. Here's what we suggest:
Today and tonight:
- Write a rough outline for a paper or presentation.
- Review notes about your 99 physics problems (or problems in any other class) and do related homework.
- Read notes for other upcoming tests.
- Write the first paragraph of your paper and prepare the first slide of your presentation.
- Continue working on homework that's due after Thanksgiving.
- Study your notes a little more.
- Go over your work to make sure it is written or presented in a professional manner.
- Make necessary corrections to homework and to your notes.
During Thanksgiving, you can be worry-free because you are done with all your projects — or are finishing them in manageable amounts.
Get started today. Once the ball is rolling, it's easier to keep it in motion. Don't sabotage yourself and your break by waiting until the last minute. Start getting the work done today so that this Thanksgiving is as restful as possible.

Texas firefighters finished mowing the lawn of a man who suffered a heart attack mid-mow and comforted his wife in an act of kindness that has brought together an entire community.
Firefighters from Bayton, Texas, responded to a 911 call on Tuesday for a man who suffered a heart attack while mowing his lawn, according to a statement released by the City of Bayton on its Facebook page.
After taking the man to a hospital, members of Bayton Fire Department's Station 4, A-Shift returned to the man's home to finish mowing his lawn. They then put the lawnmower away and locked the garage.
They also left behind a note with comforting words for the victim's wife.
"We felt bad that your husband didn't get to finish the yard," the firefighters said.
The firefighters also let the woman know they would be there for her in the future.
"We are very sorry that your husband became ill, we hope he has a speedy recovery," they said. "Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you out."
Members of the Baytown community have rallied around the firefighters for their act of kindness.
"All of our City employees are proud to serve the citizens of Baytown, but this is truly special," the city said in a statement posted on Facebook. "We couldn't be prouder of our guys from Station 4. Our prayers are with the family at this sad time."
The heart attack victim, who has not been identified, died.

Game Warden Field Notes
Published 3:19 pm, Friday, May 16, 2014
The following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
A Smith County game warden was contacted by a local landowner on the Neches River about a driver in a truck with noisy pipes shooting a rifle and shining a light across his pasture. Shortly after the warden began to observe the area, the truck returned and after a brief chase, the subjects were stopped. After the warden questioned the passenger, the driver admitted to shooting at some wild hogs. The warden called the landowner and asked him to check his property for freshly killed wildlife. While the warden drove back to where the hogs were shot, the passenger confessed to all of the events that night including a buck he shot. When they arrived, the driver, who held the brand new spotlight, said they "may have shot a hog." Then, after seeing the buck next to the landowner's vehicle, the driver hung his head and said "Sir, can I tell you something...We shot that deer." The subjects were arrested on eight charges ranging from littering to hunting without the consent of a landowner.
Gus's Nose Knows
A Brazos County game warden received a call from Bryan Police Department requesting that Gus the patrol service dog sniff a vehicle. When the game warden and Gus arrived at the location, they went straight to work searching the outside of the vehicle. Gus indicated two separate times on the driver's side rear door handle. A police officer searched the vehicle and found a bag of marijuana in the rear door pocket. Charges pending for possession of marijuana.
Fish are Friends, not Bait
Two game wardens were patrolling the Navidad River checking for recreational fishing and water safety violations during a local catfish tournament when they found a trotline holding several blue catfish. They watched the trotline from a distance and later that afternoon, three fishermen returned to check their line and were greeted by the wardens. The fishermen were questioned and asked if they were using the catfish as bait, but the men denied baiting their line with the game fish. The wardens explained that they had taken pictures of the catfish and the fishermen then admitted to baiting the trotline. The three men were issued citations for using game fish as bait.
Bragging Brings Trouble
A Zapata County game warden received information from a partner, who was fishing on his day off, about some bow fishermen who said they had shot an alligator gar and one black bass. The warden located the boat that was described and after a brief water safety check, he found multiple water safety violations along with one illegally taken black bass. Cases and restitution pending.
It Wasn't Me
Two Taylor County game wardens received a call about a man at Lake Fort Phantom with undersized crappie. They began to patrol the lake and made contact with the man, who said he had caught a few fish but not many. A fish basket was located nearby that contained seven crappie- four of which were undersized. The man claimed he leaves his fish basket at that location and sometimes people generously leave fish in it for him. Citations were issued for undersized crappie.
Filet O'Charges
A Williamson County game warden received an Operation Game Thief call about a group of people cast-netting largemouth bass in the San Gabriel River. The warden found a woman filleting a largemouth bass and three men using casting nets. Charges and civil restitution are pending.
Sometimes You Shouldn't Let the Good Times Roll
A Montgomery County game warden responded to a call from the county sheriff's office about a vehicle seen swerving into oncoming traffic and off the edge of the road. The warden found the vehicle at a red light before it entered the highway staying on the shoulder of the road. When the car began to swerve, the warden stopped the vehicle and found it occupied by a man, his wife and three children. The driver staggered when he walked, used the car to maintain his balance and smelled strongly of alcohol. While speaking to the warden, the driver leaned heavily on the car and made it roll forward a small distance. The warden checked inside and saw that while the driver had turned the vehicle off, never placed it in park. The man was arrested for driving while intoxicated with child passengers.
Casting Your Net Upon the Waters not Always Smart
Two Dallas County game wardens were informed of two men using a cast net and keeping white bass on Rowlett Creek. The wardens located a van in the parking lot and waited in the brush for the men to leave with their catch. In the early hours of the morning, two men wearing head lamps and equipped with a bag, bucket and 12-gauge shot gun approached the van and were intercepted by the wardens. The bag and buckets were filled with white bass, but the men had no fishing rods or reels. They admitted using a cast net to take all the bass without a fishing license. A total of 80 bass were confiscated that night, along with a six-foot cast net. Multiple citations were issued and cases are pending.
Poor Role Models
A game warden patrolling Shelby County noticed five fishermen sitting around a fire with four fishing poles in the water. As he approached the group, he saw many beer cans on the bank and around the fire. The smell of alcohol was apparent from every member of the group. Everyone admitted to drinking, including three minors. The adults said the minors wanted to be just like them and bought them a 30-pack of beer. Multiple cases for no fishing licenses, minor in possession/consumption of alcohol, and contributing/purchasing alcohol to minors are pending.
Flying Fish
A Williamson County game warden patrolling Lake Georgetown saw six fishermen side-by-side at the Overlook Park. Once one of the men saw the warden, he threw his rod on the ground and a plastic bag onto some rocks. The warden spoke to the man and asked to see his fishing license, which he was unable to produce. Six feet away, a white bass caught the warden's eye and another white bass began to wiggle out of the plastic bag. A total of 11 white bass were confiscated. Citations and civil restitution are pending.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky's (D-Illinois) attempt to end the multimillion dollar business of outsourcing in Iraq and Afghanistan doesn't sit well with the former CEO of the notorious Blackwater company, Erik Prince, who sent a hand-delivered cease-and-desist letter to the Congresswoman threatening legal action if she continued to make "false and defamatory" statements about him.
The Stop Outsourcing Security Act, introduced in 2007 by Schakowsky, would target numerous companies like the former Blackwater, now XE Services, to be eventually phased out to end the misappropriation of government functions and unaccountable abuses by contractors.
Though Schakowsky recognizes that this decision would impact numerous companies, she singled out Blackwater's bloody record as a "company that has become synonymous with misconduct" in a speech on the House floor Wednesday, and said that the letter constituted "attempted intimidation" by Prince.
The letter from Prince's attorney cited a September 8 article for the Independent UK in which Schakowsky said, "If Mr. Prince had not emigrated to the United Arab Emirates, which does not have an extradition agreement with the US, he too would now be facing prosecution."
In response, the letter said: "Your statement to [the Independent], which imputes commission of a crime, is per se libelous ... Your malice cannot be questioned. You have a multi-year history of making derogatory comments about Mr. Prince and his former company, Blackwater. You have abused your Congressional power to request that Mr. Prince be investigated."
With Price as CEO, Blackwater was the recipient of more than $1 billion in federal contracts to work in countries including Iraq and Afghanistan. At the same time, it was responsible for the death of more than 200 Iraqis, including the infamous shooting of 17 civilians by four Blackwater employees in 2007.
Schakowsky does not support war contractors in any function; she told Truthout in an in-depth interview: "There's going to be a report coming out pretty soon dealing with what is inherently a government function, and I'm looking forward to that. I absolutely would not [support war contractors in any position]. We cannot outsource war."
Nor does she plan to let the letter from Prince's attorney derail her plans: "I want to make it clear to Mr. Prince that I will not stop working to end our reliance on private security contractors and to investigate any and all allegations of misconduct," Schakowsky said.

However, they neglected to empty a can containing sweet gum balls that I removed from my street gutters to clear the sewer drain.
Instead they took the time to stick a label on the can indicating it exceeded the allowable weight limit.
Honestly, I have no idea how much the can weighs, but I am a 54-year-old man who has had three hernia surgeries, and I managed to carry it to the curb.

First attempt at sourdough
sourdough loaf
sourdough crumb
Yesterday I made my first loaf of sourdough based on the Norwich Sourdough recipe from Susan's wildyeast blog. I have been baking bread regularly for the past two or three years -- mainly breads with overnight pre-ferments -- but had never attempted to make my own sourdough because I don't like the flavor of an overly sour bread. After learning a lot more about sourdough from books and this site, I realized that most of the information I was getting reinforced the idea that sourdough isn't necessarily all that sour. Plus, my kitchen is a nice 75-78 degrees these days, which seemed to be ideal for nurturing a new sourdough starter. So, I mixed together some flours and water, waited, fed it, and waited some more. After a week, my starter was more than doubling in four hours when fed a 1:2:2 mixture of starter, water, and flour by weight (I used KAF organic AP flour and a little rye in the first mixture, all AP after that) so I figured it was ready to test the starter with a real loaf. And it worked! I was extremely pleased with the whole process, and the bread tasted better than I had hoped. It really isn't sour at all; in fact, my husband and I thought it had a somewhat honey-like flavor. The loaf was baked on a pre-heated stone and covered for the first 15 minutes of baking with a pre-heated wide, shallow clay pot (it's about 11" in diameter and 5-6" deep and doesn't have a drain hole) that I bought specifically for that purpose. I love the color the crust gets when using the pot, although it limits my shaping options.
Thanks to everyone on this site who contributes such helpful information. I can hardly wait to try more sourdough recipes that I wasn't able to attempt before.

2 1/2 stars
Cast: Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish
Director: Jose Padilha
Running time: 109 minutes
Rated: PG-13 for intense sequences of action including frenetic gun violence throughout, brief strong language and some drug material
Dutch director Paul Verhoeven's original 1987 "RoboCop" — in which man was merged with machine to fight lawlessness — was a savvy slice of science fiction that not only tapped into the era's fear of crime but also gave viewers a neat send-up of corporate connivance and media manipulation.
Almost 30 years later, hotshot Brazilian director Jose Padilha kicks the story into the 21st century and his cacophonous, pummeling remake is nothing if not current. The clever pre-title sequence — in which a loudmouth TV talk show host in 2028, Pat Novak (Samuel L. Jackson), takes us to U.S.-occupied Iran to show how drones and robots control the population — feels as contemporary as a CNN news bulletin.
It's unfortunate, then, that this "RoboCop" reboot shrugs off the pointed satire too soon, devolving into just another big-action vehicle — even if it's a well-made, entertaining one at times.
Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman ("The Killing") is Alex Murphy, a Detroit undercover cop who goes off on a renegade operation against a local crime lord, Antoine Vallon (Patrick Garrow). It turns into a fiasco with Murphy's partner (Michael K. Williams, "Boardwalk Empire") getting seriously injured and Vallon seeking revenge against Murphy. It comes in the middle of the night in the form of a car bomb that turns the husband and father into barely breathing scraps of human flesh. But his near-death provides an opportunity for Raymond Sellars (Michael Keaton), the head of OmniCorp, the robotics company that manufactures those metal warriors on patrol in Iran.
Much to Sellars' and Novak's angry dismay, the U.S. Senate will not allow robots or drones to act as police on this side of the Atlantic because they lack such human traits as compassion or guilt. But if a robot's unerring reflexes could be combined with Murphy's sense of justice and fair play, Sellars might be able to convince reluctant politicians and the public that America is indeed ready for robot rule on the streets.
Besides, Murphy gets a new, superhuman body in the process. It's a win-win.
Enter Dennett Norton (Gary Oldman), the new-age Dr. Frankenstein tasked with melding the soul and the silicon into a street-fighting machine. In a test — set cheekily to the 1971 hit "Hocus Pocus" by the Dutch band Focus (a tip of the hat to Verhoeven?) — Alex outmaneuvers and outguns the real robots, proving he is, in fact, the best of both worlds. That is, until he starts thinking too much for himself.
This version of "RoboCop," written by Joshua Zetumer, not only abandons its topicality about government surveillance and war but loses its sense of place. Set in Detroit, there's none of the urban decay or human distress that might serve as a believable backdrop for this new-generation man of steel. Instead, it concentrates on the personal, as Alex goes after Vallon and others who've done him wrong while still clinging to images of his wife (Abbie Cornish) and young son (John Paul Ruttan).
The result is a "RoboCop" 2.0 that has less bite and sly subversion than the original.
Padilha, who came to the U.S. on the strength of his Brazilian action films "Elite Squad" and "Elite Squad: The Enemy Within" (the highest-grossing film in his country's history), directs with a sure hand and the occasional, welcome sense of humor (in addition to the Focus song, there's the Tin Man's "If I Only Had a Heart" from "The Wizard of Oz" and a nice riff on the memorable "I'll buy that for a dollar!" line from the first film).
But he fails to deliver a compelling new twist on the invincible lawman automoton and, in the end, it's the talented young director who falls victim to the Hollywood machine.

I'm having some troubles determining the amplitude/magnitude of the following equation.
$\displaystyle A\cos(2\omega t+\beta_1)+B\cos(3\omega t+\beta_2)+C\cos(5\omega t+\beta_3)$
Since each part is at a different frequency, i cannot sum the magnitudes of each part.
I have also thought about using variations of the double/triple angle formulae and some basic trigonometric identities, so that I can write the equation under a single frequency, but by doing so, I am introducing some higher order terms, which seem to negate the ability to sum the amplitudes together.
For example, the term with $\displaystyle 5\omega$ would look like
$\displaystyle 16\cos^5(\omega t)-20\cos^3(\omega t)+5\cos(\omega t)$
I suppose another method would be to plot the first equation and then record the amplitude, but i would like a more generalised approach to solve this problem. All input is welcome and appreciated.

And Code Geass sure as hell had it's share of them (probably one of the reasons people hate it so much) The Karma Houdinis of Code Geass, IMO, include, but are not limited to:
-Rolo (Yes, he died, but it was with respect and meaning. Much better than he deserved).

-and definitely Suzaku (having to be Zero until he dies does not excuse him murdering millions of people in Tokyo, he knew about his "you must live" Geass at that point and yet he still went ahead and piloted the FLEIJA armed Lancelot)

Which sort of brings me to a tangent: what's with Nunnally's attitude in Turn 6? I mean, I can understand being upset about Clovis' death, but Euphie's? Either Nunnally is terribly ignorant of her sister's activites, which she cannot possibly be, or completely callous about what happened. It doesn't make sense.

As for Schneizel, he was consigned to a Fate Worse Than Death.
What was really odd was how she publicly lamented the death of Calares.

Though much like Kallen, she will have to spend her life perpetuating the lie about Lelouch in order to honor his name. Realistically, the life she will lead (Empress of half the world) should erode her heart and crush her psyche regardless of how peaceful the era is, but it is evident that realism and consistency took a back seat to make the last arc work, and give everyone their happy endings.
Schneizel by definition had no desires for anything including his own life. His fate is to be magically given a single all consuming desire, which he will get to spend the rest of his life fulfilling. A lifetime of guaranteed Self Actualization is not what I call punishment.
And. How. Has Noone. Mentioned. GINO?!?!?! *twitches violently*

Yeah, pretty much what morbos. I'm pretty "meh" about Gino. Yeah, he was a Brittanian (which automatically makes him evil incarnate blah blah blah) and he did some disagreeable stuff, but no worse than most of the Britannians we saw.

As for Rolo, yeah I guess it's more or less the same. Of course, I fail to see what Gino did that was worse than anything Rolo did (unless you want to make the argument that Rolo was a victim of brainwashing/unstable mental development, but I don't really buy that).

Actually there were one or two people awhile back on these forums, though there are a also a few other places where people have made comments to that effect.
Some of the things Gino did were attacking his own allies during a heightened terror alert, the massacre comment, his happily going along with letting the Eunuchs kill the Tianzi (I'm not saying I expected him to rebel there, just that he should have given a line or two saying he was aware of and at least slightly bothered by the fact that they were intentionally going to kill a 13 year old girl), implying he would get Kallen pardoned if she simply accepted her Stadtfeld identity, abadnoning Suzaku and the disaster stricken Tokyo settlement in favor of a rousing game of pool, turning on Suzaku rather than consider that he may have been traumatized from using the FLEIJA, and rebeling against Lelouch when he was still playing the Emperor of Justice.
Not saying these things are better or worse than what Rolo has done, just that these actions don't strike me as making Gino anything other than a normal Britannian.

Gino was a little too happy-go-lucky to be all that despicable, though for one thing, he didn't seem too averse to behind the back tactics/assaults, like when he killed Senba in R2 6, or tried doing the same to Xing-ke when the latter was shielding Empress Tianzi.

To avoid being a Karma Houdini, one doesn't have to repent, so much as not get punished in some form, and Cornelia did infact lose almost all of her family, only to watch their killer become a hero (we aren't sure she knows Schneizel was Geassed). Euphemia's death alone should take Cornelia far away from the Karma Houdini category. Whether or not these punishments are sufficient depends on the viewer, as I think she got off lighter than she should have, but I don't think it's fair to put her in the Houdini category.
I agree with you on Gino being a back-attack guy, though I don't really hold that against him, as it's more in keeping with being an efficient soldier, though I wouldn't consider him anything close to 'honorable' (something else I've seen people call him).

Location: at GNR, bringing you the truth, no matter how bad it hurts
Age: 33
come on
you have a HUGE list of people here that you say are karma hudini
not because they didnt pay at all (which is the TRUE definition of karma hudini)
but because they didnt pay "enough" in the eyes of the one making the claim
thats hardly fair, because in some cases, its litteraly impossible to pay enough
nina can spend her life curing cancer and HIV and still never make up for everything she's guilty of
suzaku's the same (he has a death toll in the tens of millions)
and nunnaly is also beyond the point of equal trade
and even lelouch, who actually DIED to make up for it, is hardly in the clear
simply because the numbers CANT match up no matter what you do
you cant just say "they suffered SOME, but not enough to avoid being karma hudini"
the whole point of a karma hudini is that they do all the stuff they did, AND GOT AWAY WITH IT CLEAN
by my book, all it takes is basiclly two factors to avoid being a karma hudini
1)honest repentence about your actions (key factor)
2)having suffered, as a result of them/having taken considerable actions to undo the harm, or otherwise improve the world as payment for ones actions
in that regard, Schneizel is NOT a karma hudini, because he got whats coming to him
he is a slave for all of his life (pretty much a fate worse then death)
suzaku nunnaly and nina also are not karma hudini because nina and suzaku both did everything they could to prevent a greater catastrophy and make the world a better place
and nunnaly ended up losing the one person in the world who matters the most to her, and is seemingly try to improve the world in the epilouge
ougi is debetable, not simply because he didnt really "got away with it" (almost got killed, and thrown in jail for a few months)
but because its debatable if his actions actually WARRENT a karmic retrebution beyond what he actually GOT (remember, ougi was stupid, not evil)
the only ones who truely count are cornellia, villeta (although, being married to ougi might count )
and gino's just an idiot
he didnt actually do anything to truely warrent a karmic retrebution beyond just generally being an idiot who's fighting on the wrong side of a war

Innovatio's Infringement Suit Rampage Expands To Corporate Hotels
Delaware company Innovatio IP Ventures, LLC is scaling up its patent litigation assault against businesses that offer wireless Internet to customers, filing six infringement lawsuits this month against individual branches of some of the country's largest hotel chains. It's a new tack for the company, which began filing patent claims in March against coffee shops and restaurant chains, including Caribou Coffee, Cosí and Panera Bread Co., and department stores.
Contemplating the company's approach – suing the users of the technology rather than its manufacturers – a logical question emerges: Will the onslaught reach the front doors of average, WiFi-using, American households?
At least not "at this stage" of Innovatio's "systematic campaign," said Matthew McAndrews, a partner at Chicago-based law firm Niro, Haller & Niro, and the lead litigator for Innovatio in its infringement lawsuits. McAndrews' firm specializes in patent enforcement work for small plaintiffs. Since March, McAndrews has filed 13 infringement suits in all on behalf of Innovatio, according to PACER, the federal lawsuit database.
"Innovatio has made a strategic and business judgment at this stage that it doesn't intend to pursue [lawsuits on the basis of] residential use of WiFi," McAndrews said during a phone conversation last week. (Niro's offices in downtown Chicago are located about five blocks away from Innovatio's office. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office shows another address for Innovatio, in a house at the end of a cul-de-sac in Ladera Ranch, Calif.)
As if to assure anyone who owns a laptop, smartphone or tablet that they're not in danger of finding themselves in the company's cross hairs, McAndrews added that he doesn't "perceive" Innovatio's litigation strategy changing. McAndrews did not respond to queries about who is behind Innovatio.
The company is demanding a one-time lump sum licensing payment between $2,300 and $5,000 from each of the several hundred defendants targeted in its lawsuits, McAndrews said. Some of the defendants have already settled, he added.
"We want you to continue to use this technology, we just want our client to get his due share," McAndrews said. "This is not a seat-of-the-pants, fly-by-night shakedown."
In casting such a wide net, Innovatio (it means "innovation" in Latin, McAndrews said) displays a new approach in patent enforcement. In a field where patent-holding companies often demand six- or seven-figure dollar amounts for damages, five-figure settlements are considered basement-low. By demanding a few thousand dollars, Innovatio ensures that, for many small business owners, taking up a legal defense won't make financial sense.
Asserting The Standard
This month, Innovatio set its sights on national and international hotel companies Hyatt Corporation, Marriott Hotels, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Ramada Inn, Best Western, Days Inn, Super 8 Hotels, Travelodge, and several others, filing five lawsuits in five days, from Sept. 15 to Sept. 19, against more than 220 individual hotels in Illinois. The company is suing for royalties it says each location owes for unlicensed use of wireless local area network (WLAN) technology features covered under a portfolio of 31 patents the company holds. In suits reviewed for this story, Innovatio is asserting 17 of its 31 patents.
"We're talking about patents that have come to cover a basic building block of commerce," said Dave Donoghue, a partner at Holland & Knight's Intellectual Property Group, in Chicago. The group represents Meijer, Inc. a department-grocery store chain in the Midwest that is a defendant in an infringement suit Innovatio filed March 8. When small, non-technical businesses use widely adopted technology, they don't suspect it will open them up to a patent lawsuit, Donoghue explained. "When you use the industry standard, you assume it's free of patent infringement."
McAndrews acknowledged the ubiquity of wireless Internet – likening it to a fundamental utility like gas or electricity – but offered a different perspective on the terms of its use. Ultimately, he said, Innovatio's "plan is to license this portfolio to the fullest extent possible. That would include anyone who's wireless networking."
Shell Game
Most of the patents Innovatio is asserting in its latest volley of lawsuits were invented in the 1990s and early 2000s, in part or solely by Robert Meier and the late Ronald Mahany, developers who worked for companies subsequently acquired by Broadcom Corporation, an international semiconductor manufacturer. The patents changed owners several times as Broadcom gobbled up competitor companies – but they all landed in Innovatio's hands on Feb. 28, about one week before Innovatio began asserting them in litigation.
Common former owners include Norand Corporation, which then became Intermec Technologies Corp, and Bank of America, N.A. Some went straight from Broadcom to Innovatio.
A spokeswoman for Broadcom wouldn't answer questions about what use the company had for those patents or why they transferred them to Innovatio, nor did she relinquish whether Broadcom has any financial stake in the patents or Innovatio's lawsuits.
"This is not a story we're going to comment on," said Jennifer Baumgartner, the spokeswoman. "We don't comment on our intellectual property or legal matters."
A frequent number of transfers might indicate a patent's likelihood to be asserted in litigation, writes Colleen Chien, an assistant professor at Santa Clara University School of Law specializing in patent prosecution and intellectual property counseling, in her recent article, "Predicting Patent Litigation," published in Texas Law Review in August. The article is based on the notion that, upon deeper analysis, "the riskiest patents can be identified ahead of time."
Further, the number of transfers "appears to be growing," Chien writes. There were 2,000 transfers in 1980; in 2003, there were nearly 90,000, according to the article.
Return Fire
Innovatio's first infringement suit, filed March 8 against Caribou Coffee Co., Cosí, and other small business chains, triggered retaliation from wireless communications giants Motorola Solutions, Inc. and Cisco Systems.
In May, Motorola and Cisco fired back with a complaint asking for declaratory judgment, calling for the Delaware federal court to rule that their products don't infringe, and declare Innovatio's patents invalid.
"Innovatio is in the business of enforcing and licensing patents," Motorola and Cisco allege in their complaint. "Innovatio does not sell or offer for sale any products."

Sorry for two posts in a row.Quote
Just a note, apart from other important reasons (XUL), look at the gecko version too. The current KM 1.5.4 has gecko 1.8.x, and only KM 1.6 will have gecko 1.9.x, but so far KM 1.6 is only available as alpha version, in the middle of development yet. No idea what influence on memory that has exactly, just know they say the new gecko is much faster.
Thanks for the explanation !Quote
That's just because Firefox is mainly written in XUL. XUL is not optimized for one OS. That's why its performance is not as high as a native application that is specialized for one OS. KM can only run on Windows but FF can run on many kinds of platform, right? There is also this browser called "Camino" that is optimized for Mac OS X, which is faster than FF too.
KM uses the sme Gecko engine as FF, right?
Me and every one who expects to use the memory when it's needed, not to waste it when is not needed.Quote
well, as Guenter points out, unless you are running W9x like me, who cares how much memory is being used...
KM uses the sme Gecko engine as FF, right?
I assume we speak about identical GRE version.
Yes & No, because unlike Firefox and the rest - K-Meleon only uses the components that are needed for browsing. After the GRE is build devs delete many files (59? - & not all modules are build). AFAIK Firefox, Thunderbird ... have the same basic GRE, that is they all have mail and browser components. Till FF 2 the dlls K-Meleon has in components were in the big exe & now they are in a big Xul.dll.
After the deleting of the files the GRE is slightly faster on tests.
I never checked the RAM before abd after. My guess less RAM is used.
K-Meleon chrome is also smaller. Smaller chrome gives faster start.
Chrome is loaded and stays AFAIK in RAM.
On current machines 20% more RAM do not matter unless other hungry apps also want RAM
Another even simpler reason is the size of the memory cache. FF default may be higher. Although I would expect more of a constant difference with multiple tabs rather than the ratio he seems to report. Still, a tab doesn't necessarily eat a lot of resources and memory. Also, how customized is that FF? Any extensions? Extensions aren't under mozilla control and could be real memory hogs.
Can't speak to what happens with KM 1.6 alpha, as I've not yet played with that version. Alphas are something I play with when I have the time and these days I don't have any to spare there. Perhaps when we get to the Betas!

French with subs i give this movie 5/5
Yeah...I have that flick...I remember the first time I watched it I could not believe how F'd up it is....such an awesome movie.
Not an international film but also truly great and messed up is: Boxing Helena. It's the debut effort from David Lynch's daughter....truly disturbing and awesome stuff!!
Fave horror flick is The Eye by the Pang Brothers. Though might not be messed up enough for this crowd LOL.
GIO Usage Guidelines/The Newcomer Cheat Sheet/Terms and Conditions
I loved High Tension up until the end twist. After that it just fell apart for me. It's such an awesome movie though. A really good, messed up international flick is Audition. Don't do any research on it if you don't know what it is already. Just rent it. Also, 13 Zametti or Tzametti I think it is...it's a black and white French film that feels like an extremely intense, gorier version of an Alfred Hitchcock film. It's absolutely brilliant. Don't see the remake titled 13 with Statham...it's not even half as good.
She has a new one called Chained. Downloading it now. Reviews have not been bad, so I hope it's all good.
Lucio Fulci's classic Zombi
Definitely have to watch Let the Right One In. It's the original Let Me In in Swedish. I swear that movie is bad-A.
Ciao for now.
Wow, High Tension fans. Very impressed, an amazing horror/thriller I couldn't get anyone to watch because they're stupid Americans who refuse to use subs or listen to dubbed.... I really don't get their problem, but whatever.
The Eye
The Doll Master
Noroi-The Curse
Cannibal holocaust
The Woman
A Serbian Film

The devils Backbone
The Beyond (kinda cheesy but the spider scene gets me every time)
Hatori Kikurenbo (spelling might be off)
A lot more older movies that I'm forgetting. Also the other suggestions are great too.
Whoa, still no mention of [REC]?! Terrific acting, and the effects are definitely above average. The ending might disappoint, but lemme tell ya - it's a fun ride.
Awesome to see some of Guillermo del Toro's work on your lists.
This is amazing

The towers slated to close are at smaller airports with lighter traffic, and all pilots are trained to land without help by communicating among themselves on a common radio frequency. But airport directors and pilots say there is little doubt the removal of that second pair of eyes on the ground increases risk and will slow the progress that has made the U.S. air system the safest in the world.
It's not just private pilots in small planes who stand to be affected. Many of the airports in question are serviced by major airlines, and the cuts could also leave towers unmanned during overnight hours at some big-city airports such as Chicago's Midway and General Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee. The plans have prompted airlines to review whether the changes might pose problems for commercial service that could mean canceling or rescheduling flights.
Without the help of controllers, risk "goes up exponentially," said Mark Hanna, director of the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield, Ill., which could see its tower close.
As part of the spending cuts that went into effect this month, the Federal Aviation Administration is being forced to trim $637 million for the rest of the fiscal year that ends Sept.
Representatives of the FAA declined to discuss the effect of the cuts with The Associated Press. In two recent speeches and testimony before Congress, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta stressed that safety remained the agency's top priority. But many in the aviation sector are frustrated that the political brinkmanship in Washington has affected such a sensitive area of aviation.
Jim Montman, manager of the Santa Fe Municipal Airport, which is on the list for tower closures, said the absence of controllers raises the risk of midair collisions "or some sort of incident where somebody lands on the wrong runway. ... That critical link is gone."
Hundreds of small airports around the country routinely operate without controllers, using procedures in place since the earliest days of aviation. Pilots are trained to watch for other aircraft and announce their position over the radio during approaches, landings and takeoffs.
On Nov. 19, 1996, a 19-seat United Express flight landing in Quincy, Ill., collided with another twin-engine turboprop that was taking off. They slammed into each other at the intersection of two runways, killing all 14 people aboard the two planes.
The National Transportation Safety Board concluded the probable cause was a failure of the pilots in the outbound flight to monitor the radio frequency for air traffic and to properly scan for other planes.
"If a tower was there, it's highly likely that that accident would have been prevented," Hanna said.

MENDOCINO - More information has come out about the federal drug indictments of over 40 individuals, including three named Mendocino County residents.
Jim Cross, a public information officer at the Wichita, Kansas bureau of the U.S. Attorneys Office, said Mendocino resident Jeffrey Wall is listed as defendant No. 42 in what he called "a long, complicated drug indictment" filed by the DEA in June. According to Cross, Wall is charged in count one with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana.
"The 101-count indictment alleges that defendants Los Rovell Dahda, 30, Lawrence, Kan., and Chad Eugene Bauman, 33, Lawrence, made millions as the leaders of a drug trafficking organization that operated from 2005 to 2012. Prosecutors are asking a federal judge to order more than $16.9 million in cash and real estate that were proceeds of the crimes to be forfeited to the government," said a U.S. Attorneys report filed in July. "The indictment grows out of a federal criminal complaint filed (in June) in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan. The indictment adds 10 defendants and 100 counts. In the initial complaint, prosecutors alleged the organization's primary method for getting drugs to Kansas from California was by commercial carrier."
James Michael Soderling, 42, of Fort Bragg, is said to have been indicted on 14 various counts and Sarah Soderling, 35, also of Fort Bragg, was indicted on 34 counts in July. A second, more recent, round of arrests was made but was not publicly reported since the case had been sealed by the courts, Cross explained. Agents from many state and federal agencies took part in the effort, with minimal assistance from Mendocino County Sheriff's Office. A full report is pending.

Why not? Better strength means you can block better. It's not like strength and dex don't both add attack, so why can't more than one stat add defense, as an added perk for using shields? Well, it all depends on whether or not shields actually have a strength modifier. I can't check right now, unfortunately.

Dexterity doesn't add damage to melee weapons, it adds chance to hit. If the stat actually said 'increases damage and defense' yes, but the strength stat explicitly says 'increases damage'
Even if shields did damage, strength would only increase that: The damage. Not its defense.

Attack is chance to hit. That's what the stat is called. Damage is called damage. I mix them up all the time, but I was really careful to use the right one this time.
But shields don't do damage. They have a defense stat (which is chance to dodge, rather than armor). Anyway, there's no point in arguing about this. It's testable. Lastly, I don't really trust the tooltips. They're pretty vague. Honestly though, if shields don't scale with stats I can't see much reason to use them. They only have 6 or so def, so they actually aren't a very big part of keeping you alive if they don't scale with your stats.

They're a requirement for the shield abilities, which are vital to a good tank or even a good damage dealer (lots of stuns, disruptions and virtually immune to arrow showers, flanking and knockdowns? Yes please!).
So yes, while shields may not give big defense bonus, they are a pretty vital part of the 'keeping alive' because of the talents and skills.

Damn I just couldn't choose between Morrigan's or Leliana's romance option. Witch of the Wilds is a tough nut to crack, but I'll go for her on this playthrough. I'm just 20 hours into the game and I don't want it to end.
And man, anyone else love Alistar? That guy is in my bones, never loved a video game character as much as I fancy this guy. Wish I had a real life friend like him lol
P.S. Loved that note that appears on the loading screen, it goes something like: ''If everything else fails, go for the eyes''. Is that a homage to the ''Go for the eyes Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!! RrraaaAAGHGHH!'' badass rat loving guy from BG? XD

Currently, the game is bugged in that...
-daggers only get 100% STR, instead of 50%STR/50% DEX in damage.
-xbows don't get a damage boost at all
If you're lucky enough to have the PC and you know enough about computers to put the hotfix, then I suggest this build for your sword/board tank.
1) Equip daggers. Why? Because you would be stacking DEX and nothing else, and only have 26 STR to meet Shield Expertise's prereq. This means that you still have a good amount of your damage bonuses with your weapon. Equip shortbows on your secondary, because with the dexterity hotfix, its 100% dex, making you a lethal archer.
2) Pickpocket Vastgar (Bhelen's right hand man in Orzammar), as he has a pretty sweet shield that gives +15 defense. At 26 STR, you still need +4 STR to equip it, but that's easily done since the whole Orzammar line gives you Key to the City (+2 to all stats) and Ring of the Warrior (+2 STR/DEX), if you do certain side quests. If you recruited Shale, you also have a helm that gives +2 to all stats, so this can replace one of them.
Alternatively, you can just get Eamon's Shield by completing the Redcliffe line and raiding the vault, but that only gives +9 defense.
For armor, you can either do Wade's quest for superior drakescale leather, or just go with Dalish armor over at Brecilian forest. The latter gives more defense, so I would go with that equip.
3) Invest in taunt first, then Shield defense/balance, then threaten. This is so you can actually keep aggro on your tank and not on your squishy.
Cleanse next if you're a templar, since dispelling crowd control is much too good, especially when its your healer thats disabled.
Shield Mastery line next, since you want to eliminate flanking bonus by being surrounded and give you another +5 defense for Shield Defense as well. Shield Expertise line next, to net you another +5 defense, while you have Shield Wall against knockdown heavy enemies. Take Bravery after for increased resists.
After that, if you're freeze happy with cone of cold, then overpower for another auto-crit/shatter ability. If not, shoot for Holy Smite, as AoE stun is very good, and leave Overpower for last.
Final ability should be War Cry to reduce enemy attack (ie. increase your defense), and Superiority to make it knockdown as well, adding another CC element to your repertoire.
Champion 4
Templar 4
Bravery 3
Taunt 2
Overpower 3
Shield Expertise 4
Shield Master 4
24 talents in total, which is what you expect of an endgame character at lvl 22.
My Alistair is this build, and he laughs at physical hit rolls even at nightmare. Heroic Defense on him is essentially force field against hit rolls, without the bad side effect. Allows him to stand in front of revenants all day long with only a regeneration spell here and there, all the while keeping them away from my squishy.
Only thing you have to worry about is grabs, which AFAIK is auto-hit, so be prepared to force field him or cone of cold the enemy the moment you see him get grabbed. (or just use a tactic for it... Alistair: grabbed status -> force field, or Enemy: grabbing status --> Cone of Cold or similar CC spell)

Oh great, I bought this game the previous week in France, it's a good game but I prefer Baldur's Gate which is my best game ever!
What I don't like in Dragon Age Origins:
-landscapes are not very beautiful, I would like to see landscape as beautiful as Baldur's Gate which are painted!
-only 4 characters in a group! It's so bad! Battle aren't really epic...
-The world isn't as great/interesting as Baldur's Gate!
-The freedom => steal isn't as funny as it was in Baldur
-the story
-No day/night
What I like:
-some characters are funny (Alistair)
-a long story, it's cool
-fight are good, but I think there are too much of that
-the music
Well I go to play .

Also minor note, but attack bonuses are 0.5 STR/0.5 DEX for ALL weapons. Meaning that archery does NOT get 1.0 attack from DEX, as the tooltip says. This btw, is not a bug according to one of the developers, and its actually intended to balance the stats.
That said, I still find it stupid that STR lets me aime a xbow better, but hey, nothing I can do about it... >_>

Okay thanks to Clarste and Keroko I think I'll be focusing on the Templar skills, add str and dex and some con. Quick question, where can you find Ohgren? I already got Morrigan, Alistair, Leliana, Wynne, Zefran, Sten and my pup but no Ohgren in sight...

Scroll down, and you'll see it. I for one am so glad for this, since it makes my dagger tank and my archer rogue much better.
And for the record, the index page of that site (aka. The Missing Manual) has loads of useful information about the intricacies of the game. It might not be complete yet, but there's still a lot of info to be gleaned from them, if you're the type whose interested in knowing how some of the things work.

I'm use to using "unofficial" patches and mods, so it doesn't bother me. Although I am a little worried about having the enemy archers being over powered... It's bad enought that there's always loads of them, but making them stronger too...

Salt of the Earth March 12, 2009Posted by The Typist in music, New Orleans, NOLA, Toulouse Street.
Tags: Bernard Maddof, insurrection, Rolling Stones, Salt of the Earth
On days like this when I forget I work for the Counting House and sit contemplating what we could get for restitution if we carved up Bernard Madoff and the rest of "the grey suited grafters" and sold their organs on E-Bay, I need to step back and remember that once rock-and-roll had the power to change the world, that even as Mick leered into the camera and a million girls quivered in their seats the insurrectionary words were still pouring out of the speaker and into our heads and spilling out into the streets.
Sometimes I suggest I'm lazy to post up things from You Tube and there are times when that's true. Other times this is my own pirate radio station. If you think there is no agenda here then you haven't been listening close enough. So turn off that "strange beauty show" American Idol (or Hell's Kitchen or whatever your poison is) and listen up.
Raise your glass to the hard working people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who need leading but get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
Empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio
Good night and good luck.

297 m with 0.36 g/t Au and 0.06% Cu (0.46 g/t Au Eq) starting at surface including 31 m with 0.74 g/t Au and 0.08% Cu and 66 m with 0.58 g/t Au and 0.08% Cu
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 16, 2012) - Regulus Resources Inc. ("Regulus" or the "Company") (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce a new, near-surface, gold discovery at the Northeast gold target located two kilometres to the northeast of the Rio Grande ring structure at the Rio Grande copper-gold-molybdenum project in Salta Province, Argentina. Drill hole RGR-12-118 has tested the southern edge of a 900 by 600 metre gold-in-soil anomaly first identified in 2011 (see figure 1) and encountered significant gold mineralization of a style similar to the Lindero heap leach gold deposit of Mansfield Minerals (MDR TSX.V), located ten kilometers to the southeast. Please refer to Figure 2 for a comparison of the size of the Lindero deposit with respect to the Northeast gold-in-soil anomaly.
Results from RGR-12-118 are summarized below and in Table 1. The location of the drill hole is noted in Figures 1 and 2.
John Black, President and CEO of Regulus commented as follows: "The discovery of a new zone of gold mineralization two kilometres to the northeast of the known copper-gold mineralization in the Rio Grande ring structure continues to demonstrate the size and strength of the Rio Grande system and the potential for the project to deliver additional exciting results. We are particularly encouraged as this is only the second hole drilled in the Northeast target. The first was drilled 500 metres to the west in 2007, prior to the recognition of the full extent and strongest portion of the gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly.
Given the size of the gold-in-soil anomaly (900 by 600 metres), and the position of drill hole RGR12-118 along its southern margin, we are very encouraged by these results and believe there is good potential to outline a deposit of significant size. We will be following up with additional drilling once we have conducted more detailed geological mapping and additional geophysical studies to better define the drill target."
Drill hole RGR-12 -118 was collared on the southern edge of a 900 by 600 metre gold-in-soil anomaly first announced in March 2011 (see Regulus news release March 3, 2011) and subsequently expanded in 2012. The 297 metres of mineralization encountered in RGR-12-118 starts at the surface and is consistently mineralized throughout the hole with values up to 1.54 g/t Au and no high values that would unduly influence the average grade. The mineralization in RGR-12-118 is hosted in intrusive breccias and moderately hornfelsed red-bed sedimentary rocks intruded by a number of narrow mineralized diorite intrusions.
Table 1: Rio Grande Drill Results
Northeast Target Exploration Plans
The Company intends to conduct a geophysical, geochemical and mapping program prior to commencing with follow-up drilling in the Northeast target. The initial program is expected to be initiated by the end of 2012 and will include:
