Arsène Wenger has shed new light on the topic gripping English football - the wearing of snoods.
The Arsenal manager insists his players only wear the neck-warmers to help with injury prevention.
Amid the recent freezing conditions across the country numerous Premier League stars have been sporting the woolly accessories including Samir Nasri and Marouane Chamakh.
The garments have received mixed reviews from managers, players and fans alike but, far from being a mere fashion accessory, Wenger says the snoods were suggested by the medical staff at the Club.
"I get advice from the medical team," said the manager. "We had some players with neck problems before the Aston Villa game, Nasri and Chamakh.
"That's why we decided to let them wear them because they had some medical issues."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

To put your genes in order, flip them like pancakes
Brian Hayes
All through the 1930s, members of the famous Drosophila group at Caltech roamed the American West collecting fruit flies for genetic analysis. One discovery to come from these expeditions was an abundance of genetic inversions: blocks of genes that had flipped end-over-end. Flies from one geographic region might have a certain set of genes in the order a b c d e f g, but a population elsewhere could harbor the sequence d c b a e f g, with the first four genes inverted. A further reversal, affecting a different block of genes, could produce an ordering such as d c f e a b g. Theodosius Dobzhansky and Alfred H. Sturtevant, two of the leading Drosophilists,pointed out that such genetic rearrangements could help in reconstructing the family tree of the flies. More reversals would indicate greater evolutionary distance.
The variations discovered by Dobzhansky and Sturtevant could be explained by reversing just one or two blocks of genes. Later, when gene order was studied in a broader range of organisms, more complex patterns emerged. In the 1980s Jeffrey D. Palmer and Laura A. Herbon of the University of Michigan were measuring the pace of evolutionary change in plants of the cabbage family. Looking at the DNA in mitochondria (the energy-producing organelles), they found that the genes had been jumbled by multiple random reversals. Transforming cabbage into turnip took at least three reversals. More distant relatives such as cabbage and mustard appeared to be separated by a dozen or more reversal events—they could only estimate how many.
If these genetic flip-flops are to serve as an evolutionary clock, we need a reliable way to count them. Given two arrangements of a set of genes—say a b c d e f g and f e b a g c d—how do you determine what sequence of reversals produced the transformation? This example has a three-step solution, which you can probably find in a few minutes with pencil and paper. For larger genomes and longer chains of reversals, however, trial-and-error methods soon falter. Is there an efficient algorithm for identifying a sequence of reversals that converts one permutation into another?
The genetic reversal problem lies at the intersection of biology, mathematics and computer science. For some time, the prospects for finding a simple and efficient solution seemed dim, even with the most powerful tools of all three disciplines. But the story has a happy ending. A little more than a decade ago, computing gene reversals was still a subtle research problem; now it can be done with such ease that it's a matter of routine technology. If you need to know the "reversal distance" between two genomes, you can go to a Web site and get the answer in seconds.
Before getting tangled up in loopy strands of DNA, consider a warm-up exercise: flipping pancakes. You are given a stack of n pancakes, no two the same diameter, and asked to sort them in order of size, with the smallest on top and the largest on the bottom. At each step in the sorting process, you insert a spatula anywhere you choose within the stack, then flip over all the pancakes above the spatula. No other manipulations of the stack are allowed. How many flips are required to get the pancakes in order?
Here's one pancake-sorting algorithm. First find the largest pancake, put the spatula under it, and turn over the part of the stack above that point. Now the largest pancake is on top, so flipping the entire stack of n pancakes puts it in its proper position at the bottom. From here on, the bottommost pancake will never be moved again. Next, choose the second-largest pancake, make a flip to bring it to the top, and then flip n - 1 pancakes to place the second-largest in its permanent place atop the largest. After bringing the third-largest to the top, flip n - 2 pancakes, and so on until the whole stack is sorted. Placing each pancake takes two flips, and so the entire procedure requires 2n steps. (Or maybe 2n - 1. Or 2n - 3. Some of the final flips are not really needed.)
This algorithm provides a naive upper bound: It shows that sorting the stack can't require more than about 2n steps, but the possibility remains that some other method could do better. In the 1970s such an improved algorithm was devised by Christos H. Papadimitriou, then of Harvard University, and William H. Gates, an undergraduate at that institution (who soon dropped out to start a software company). The Gates-Papadimitriou algorithm sorts any stack of pancakes in (5n+5)/3 moves, which for large n is essentially equal to 5/3 n. Gates and Papadimitriou also established a lower bound, showing that some pancake stacks cannot be sorted in fewer than 17/16 n steps; the lower bound has since been raised slightly to 15/14 n. The range defined by these upper and lower bounds is probably narrow enough to cope with any practical problems arising at the pancake griddle. From a mathematical point of view, however, the pancake problem remains unsolved: The exact number of flips needed to sort n pancakes is unknown.
Gene flipping has a lot in common with the pancake problem, but there are differences as well. With pancakes, you are not allowed to reach into the middle of the stack and change the internal order; you can only reverse subsequences of pancakes at the top of the pile. In the case of genes lined up along a chromosome, there's no reason to enforce such a constraint. Any block of genes can be inverted, whether it's at either end of the chromosome or in the interior. This additional freedom ought to make permuting genes somewhat easier than flipping flapjacks.
On the other hand, the genetic problem is harder in a different way. Pancake sorting has mostly been treated as a quest for worst-case results. The quantity of primary interest is not the number of flips needed for any particular stack of n pancakes but rather the maximum for all possible stacks of height n. Solving the biological problem calls for a finer level of detail: A geneticist would like to know the reversal distance between particular gene configurations seen in nature. Knowing the maximum for all n-gene chromosomes would not be nearly as helpful.
Geneticists give Drosophila genes charming names like groucho, kojak and dreadlocks, but for algorithmic purposes it's a lot easier to just number them. From this point of view a chromosome is nothing more than a permutation of the numbers from 1 through n.
The goal is a method for finding the reversal distance between any two permutations, such as 3 1 5 2 4 and 4 1 2 3 5. Because the labeling of the genes is arbitrary, however, we can always assign the numbers in such a way that one configuration is the canonical permutation 1 2 3...n, with the integers in ascending order. Then the task is simply to sort the other permutation, finding a sequence of reversals that restores it to the canonical order. Instead of converting 4 1 2 3 5 into 3 1 5 2 4, we can sort the sequence 5 2 4 1 3 into its canonical order 1 2 3 4 5; the operations required are identical.
Can every permutation be sorted by some series of reversal moves, without any need for other kinds of operations? A simple variation on the naive pancake-flipping algorithm supplies an affirmative answer. From any starting configuration, there must be some block of genes that can be rotated 180 degrees to bring gene 1 into its correct, leftmost position. Thereafter some other block can be flipped to put gene 2 in its proper place; moreover, this can be done without disturbing gene 1. Here is the full sequence of reversals that sorts our five-digit example (the underline designates the segment that is about to be reversed):
Using this left-to-right algorithm, the five genes are sorted with four reversals. It's not hard to see that any n-element array can be sorted by the same method in at most n - 1 reversals. The procedure is similar to the bottom-up pancake algorithm, but because we don't have to work only from one end of the chromosome, each gene can be put in its place with a single flip rather than two.
Unfortunately, the left-to-right algorithm cannot always be counted on to find the shortest sequence of reversals for sorting a chromosome. In this example, four steps is not the minimum; there is a three-step sequence that accomplishes the same task:
But there is no obvious logic behind this series of moves, so the question becomes: How do you find such shorter pathways, and how do you know when you've found the shortest route of all?
The importance of identifying the shortest reversal sequence is not that we need a high-performance algorithm for sorting genes on chromosomes. Sorting the genes is not really the point. The shortest pathway matters because it is the best available estimate of the true reversal distance between two genomes—the measure of their evolutionary kinship.
In general, we can't reconstruct the actual course of an evolutionary process with any certainty, but parsimony argues that short and direct pathways are more likely than long, zigzag ones. A change in gene order from 1 2 3 to 3 2 1 might have come about through a multistep transformation such as 123→213→312→321, but the single reversal 123→321 is usually a better guess. Thus the shortest pathway is always the starting point for inferring a phylogeny. (The shortest series of reversals is not necessarily unique; there may be several reversal pathways of the same minimal length.)
In sorting out the process of sorting by reversals, a good place to begin is with the work of John Kececioglu, now of the University of Arizona, and David Sankoff of the University of Ottawa. They were not the first to write about the problem, but they were the first to make substantial progress on it, starting in the early 1990s. Their principal tool was the concept of a breakpoint.
A breakpoint appears wherever a permutation brings together two nonconsecutive numbers. For example, this eight-element permutation has two breakpoints, marked with carets:
A segment not interrupted by a breakpoint is called a strip; it consists of consecutive numbers in either ascending or descending order. The importance of breakpoints is that the canonical permutation has none. Thus any procedure that keeps reducing the number of breakpoints until the count reaches zero is a method for sorting a permutation. (A complication is that both the forward permutation 1 2 3...n and the backward one n...3 2 1 are without breakpoints. The remedy is to augment the sequence with "anchoring" elements 0 and n+1, which compel the sorting algorithm to choose the forward direction.)
Breakpoint analysis suggests a lower bound on the complexity of sorting by reversals. A reversal can create or destroy breakpoints only at the ends of the segment being reversed; it follows that a single reversal can eliminate at most two breakpoints. If the initial permutation has m breakpoints, no sorting procedure can possibly eliminate all of them in fewer than m/2 reversals.
Kececioglu and Sankoff devised a sorting algorithm that comes within a factor of two of this limit; in other words, the algorithm's maximum number of reversals will not exceed the number of breakpoints in the original permutation. The algorithm employs a "greedy" strategy: At each stage in the computation it maximizes the number of breakpoints removed. If there is an opportunity to eliminate two breakpoints, that move is given higher priority than all reversals that remove just one breakpoint, etc.
A focus on breakpoints makes intuitive sense in sorting permutations. After all, the breakpoints are the positions where the numbers are out of order, whereas the strips are already sorted. This line of reasoning leads to the conjecture that an optimal algorithm for sorting by reversals should operate only at breakpoints, never cutting the permutation within a strip. Unfortunately, the conjecture does not hold. Consider the permutation 3 4 1 2, which has a single breakpoint, between the 4 and the 1. Sorting with an algorithm that never cuts a strip takes three reversals: 3412→4312→4321→1234. But another sequence gets to the goal in just two reversals: 3412→1432→1234.
Kececioglu and Sankoff's greedy algorithm runs efficiently but gives only approximate results. They also described a program that makes the opposite tradeoff, finding the optimum sorting sequence but paying a penalty in running time and memory requirements. At the heart of this algorithm is a routine that may have to examine every possible sequence of reversals for sorting the given permutation. The number of such reversal sequences grows exponentially with n; indeed, the worst-case rate of growth exceeds n n . By means of a "branch and bound" strategy Kececioglu and Sankoff were able to greatly reduce the number of sequences considered, but the worst-case performance remains exponential, and their program was able to find exact solutions only up to about n = 30.
In 1995 Kececioglu and Sankoff speculated that optimal sorting by reversals belongs to the class of computational problems designated "NP-hard." These are problems for which—barring miracles—only exponential algorithms will ever be found. Two years later Alberto Caprara of the University of Bologna proved that finding the shortest sequence of reversals for sorting an arbitrary permutation is indeed NP-hard.
If a problem is too hard to solve, do you look for a simpler one? In this case the response was just the opposite. Attention turned to a more elaborate variant of the sorting-by-reversals problem. And, surprisingly, efficient solutions to this variant soon emerged. Furthermore, as a bonus, the variant problem offers a more faithful model of the biological process by which genes get jumbled.
To explain this strange twist in the plot, I need to introduce a crucial fact about genetic information that I have neglected mentioning up to now. Each gene on a chromosome has not only a position but also an orientation; think of a gene as an arrow rather than a line segment. Like the letters in a word of text, the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA reads correctly in only one direction. Thus when two genomes are compared, it's necessary to match both the order of the genes along the chromosome and the direction of each gene. Early methods of mapping genes gave no information about their direction, and so the issue was ignored. With instruments that can read nucleotide sequences directly from a molecule of DNA, data on gene orientation is becoming more readily available.
A chromosome with oriented genes corresponds to a signed permutation, one where each element in the set 1 2 3...n has either a plus or a minus sign. Genes facing one way are positive, those with the opposite direction are negative. Reversing a segment of the chromosome inverts the order of the genes and also changes all their signs. For example, the signed permutation +3 -1 -2 +4 has the inverse -4 +2 +1 -3. To sort a signed permutation, you find a series of reversals that arranges the genes in ascending order and makes all the signs positive. Going back to the breakfast table again, the corresponding task is known as the burnt pancake problem: The pancakes have to be stacked in order of size with the blackened sides down.
Common sense argues that signed permutations must surely be harder to sort than unsigned ones. There are more constraints and more variables. The trouble with this reasoning is not that it gives the wrong answer but that it answers the wrong question. In general, sorting a signed permutation does take more work than sorting an unsigned one—but the efficiency of sorting is not at issue. What's wanted is not a sorting of the genome but a measure of the number of reversals needed to sort it, and that is indeed easier to calculate with a signed permutation.
The idea that overturned everyone's thinking about reversal sorting came from Pavel A. Pevzner of the University of California, San Diego, working in collaboration first with Vineet Bafna, also of San Diego, and then with Sridhar Hannenhalli of the University of Pennsylvania. They presented their sorting scheme in the language of mathematical graph theory—the science of dots and lines. The illustrations[on page 389] show the construction of some of the graphs that enter into the sorting method. The process has its intricacies, including the replacement of a signed permutation of the numbers 1 through n by an unsigned permutation of 1 through 2n.
Recently Anne Bergeron of the Université du Québec à Montréal has given an alternative explanation of the same algorithm, presenting it more directly in terms of the original signed permutation. The account that follows is based on Bergeron's work.
The key concept is that of an "oriented pair": two numbers, found anywhere within the permutation, that have opposite signs but are consecutive when you ignore the signs. Bergeron observes that a reversal that brings these numbers together will also give them like signs. The process is easier to understand with an example. Consider the six-element permutation 0+3+1+6+5-2+4+7 (shown flanked by the "anchoring" elements 0 and 7, which will never move). The permutation has two oriented pairs, namely +3-2 and +1-2, and each of these can be reunited in two ways. For example, reversing the segment +6+5-2 brings the 1 and the 2 together in their correct order and leaves both with a plus sign, whereas reversing +3+1+6+5 creates the subsequence -3-2.
Bergeron derives deterministic rules for identifying oriented pairs and choosing which of the pairs to reunite next. The rules favor reversals that leave positive numbers in ascending order and negative numbers in descending order. They also give precedence to whichever reversal creates the largest number of new oriented pairs. In this case, the +3+1+6+5 reversal scores highest, generating four oriented pairs. The rules can now be applied again to choose another optimal reversal. Continuing in this way brings the original permutation to canonical order in five steps:
This is the shortest possible reversal-sorting sequence.
The procedure explained by Bergeron is guaranteed to reach a permutation in which all elements have plus signs. Usually, that permutation is the canonical one, and so the task of sorting is completed. However, there are exceptional permutations for which the algorithm fails, and further steps are needed. This is not an artefact of Bergeron's simplified version; the problem is with the underlying algorithm and can be traced to subtle features of the graphs that describe the permutations. Pevzner and his colleagues named these disruptive structures hurdles, and there are even rarer impediments known as superhurdles and fortresses. In an early version of the algorithm the hurdles could not be overcome. Hannenhalli and Pevzner later found a series of intricate maneuvers that can clear all the varieties of hurdles, and so the measurement of reversal distance is now exact.
The algorithm published by Hannenhalli and Pevzner finds the optimum sequence of reversals in an amount of time proportional to n4. Others soon improved this bound to n 3 and n2. Eric Tannier and Marie-France Sagot of the Université Claude Bernard in France apparently hold the current record:
If you simply want to know the length of the shortest sequence of reversals (without seeing the sequence itself), there is a linear method, taking time proportional to the first power of n. Even the slowest of these algorithms is immeasurably more efficient than an exponential method, and they can all cope with any realistic biological data.
Several authors have implemented reversal-sorting algorithms in publicly available software. Of particular note is a Web site called GRIMM, created by Glenn Tesler of the University of California, San Diego, which calculates the optimum sequence of reversals for any pair of signed permutations. On a lighter note, the online version of this column includes an interactive illustration that will allow you to try your own hand at finding an optimum series of reversals for small random permutations.
The decade-long effort to solve the sorting-by-reversals problem stands as a model of interdisciplinary collaboration. The question that inspired the work in the first place was of genuine importance to biology, but it also turned out to hold real interest for mathematicians and computer scientists, who might well have tackled the problem even if it didn't have an appealing application. I suspect that some of the competitive fine-tuning of algorithms goes beyond the actual needs of biologists, but those whose main interests are computational deserve to have their fun too.
In any case, there are plenty of biological challenges that remain to be mastered. The abstract version of the sorting problem implicitly assumes that all segments of a chromosome are equally likely to be reversed. Biologists know that there are actually biases favoring some segments, or some junctions between segments. Furthermore, reversals of chromosomal segments are not the only mechanism for mixing up the genome. In organisms with multiple chromosomes, there are also transpositions, fissions and fusions to be taken into account. Genes are duplicated or deleted. DNA is not, in the end, just a permutation of signed numbers, and yet it's impressive how much can be gleaned from such simple models.

COMMENTARY: U.S. phone spying gives terrorists a win
If Americans preferred not to think about how much they have surrendered in the war on terror, they can't avoid doing so now. They can't make a phone call to their dentist or hairdresser without having their home or cellphone number secretly taken down by Washington, along with the other party's number, the time of the call and its length. It's that bad.
If Osama bin Laden were still alive he'd chalk up this surveillance gone wild as a coup for al-Qaida. More than a decade after the 9/11 attack, it still has the United States living in fear and trading away freedoms for security. This is beginning to look like a war the U.S. is determined to lose, one way or another.
With the acquiescence of both Democratic and Republican intelligence leaders in Congress who fear being branded soft on terror, both U.S. President Barack Obama's administration and that of George W. Bush have secretly interpreted the Patriot Act of 2001 so broadly that no one can escape pervasive scrutiny.
Thanks to media leaks Americans now know that under the Patriot Act the secrecy-shrouded Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ordered the Verizon telecommunications company, serving 121 million customers, to hand over to the security services its records on an "ongoing, daily basis." ...
Stung by the leaks, U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has moved to tamp down a public outcry by taking the rare step of declassifying some details about the "telephony metadata" surveillance. Americans should be reassured that key members of Congress have been kept in the loop, he said. The White House is committed to protecting "privacy and civil liberties." ...
Perhaps some good will come of this. Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden and others are pressing for "a real debate in the Congress and the country" over balancing privacy rights and security. Ominously for the administration, people are calling the surveillance "un-American."
In effect, the U.S. government is asking its citizens (and people elsewhere who use the Internet) to trust it as it trolls through their private lives looking for bad actors. The sheer audacity of that demand speaks volumes about America's unhealthy obsession with terror. It's past time to move on.

-Christopher Hitchens, 13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011
I was looking forward to gearcapping toward cata and facerolling some blood DPS. But, TBH..I Have always found it quite wierd that you end up with more DPS from 'tank specs' as a DK. Yes, it's fun. Yes, the viability of literally any tree tanking is fun, but to have a dedicated tree with a more tank feeling is nice.
Blood, is the best ATM because of it's effective health..it just is, ask any DK that tanks in legitimate world first guilds.
Extrapalating on what they have gotten right is going to help, I really just hope they don't go too off the wall and add something like double shield tanking or some other ridiculous non-sense..
Icy touch feels like it should be a tanking talent in it's current state...700% threat modifcation passively is a bit overkill, if it was something like 150/300/450% modifier from talents I think that would be 100% legitimate.
If they added more things of the like I would be satisfied.
And to the Blood DPS DK's complaining, you're a glorified arcane mage..get over it.
wtb other class updates :P

you do have some right to QQ i agree i remember the glory days of blood when you could pull 5k+ in heroics in t7.5 so much fun so yes you can QQ =)Originally Posted by LordKain

Awesome change! It's about time that talent trees aren't watered down for whatever role you're doing. It also makes sense to mark blood as the tank tree, because a lot of people already consider it "the" end-game tanking spec. It also makes sense with the removal of ArP on gear.
Please people. Keep in mind that this isn't the only thing changing with DKs. You may love to DPS as blood now (I'm not sure why...it's so mind bogglingly easy - play frost if you want fun), but a lot of the DPS mechanics of blood (DRW being the only interesting thing) will probably make an appearance of some sort in Frost and Unholy.
With frost being 100% DPS now, it will certainly get a better cooldown than UA. With unholy being 100% DPS now, it might get an improved ghoul, or even a better pet all together.
Just look at it this way. Instead of playing blood as DPS now, you'll be playing Frost or Unholy as DPS...but you'll have more tools to do your job effectively. In the same way, instead of tanking as Frost or Unholy now, you'll be tanking as blood...but you'll actually have tank talents - not just the universal 1st tier 5 point talents that every tank has already, and 1 or 2 "special" buttons based on your spec.
It's a good change. Just wait for it.
I think there is a very simple reason (frankly I am not going to review all 33 pages of comments to see if this has been mentioned before)
THE MASTERY SYSTEM. The passive bonus that you receive by speccing deep within a tree. While we don't have the details on the system. How screwed would the DK's feel if the passive bonus on two of the trees was a tanking bonus and only one affected dps?
I think that looking at the individual talents is pointless until we know more. The best we can discern currently is that:
Blood = Protection Tree May or may not have dual wield tanking abilities. I bet we see a completely new tanking based Runic Power dump. I also think we will see an aggro heavy talent that links in to a base level talent
Frost = DPS tree, probably has the dual wield dps abilities, and will have most of the proc based read and react (Killing Machine Rime Procs). Frost has been moving towards dual wield for a long time. If they eliminate the tanking talents they can focus on rogue in plate model.
Unholy = DPS tree, probably the two-handed tree. They will likely force the player to manage the diseases more closely to create a varied rotation. May play more like a warlock in plate.
I do agree that we may be seeing a complete change in the presences however. Unholy is situational at best, Blood may become the new frost, and frost the old blood, with unholy providing multipliers on disease damage, like the ability for disease damage to crit, something along that order.
So once we factor in passive bonus, it appears to me that that the Mastery system is the driving force behind the change.
Blizzard did the right thing by picking Blood to be the new tank spec. They're going to remove most of the boring passive +dmg talents from Blood anyhow. That would leave them with a ton of holes to fill in that talent tree.
Now that it's the tanking tree, they can patch the holes with tanking abilities from other trees or brand new ones.
To people who are so attached to Blood as dps, Unholy isn't really that different. You smash face with a 2h weapon, but you have a pet next to you. To think it's a radically different type of game style, is silly.
Regardless, the play styles for each tree are most likely going to be altered in a much more dramatic way, so you should really be prepared for THAT change.
Blizzard has commented on the tree changes. Frost seems to be sticking to DW, and the 2H tree will stick to Unholy. Unless they completely change their minds (which isn't out of the question), it's going to stay that way for the expansion.Originally Posted by Woeful
agreed, as if most rappers have to deal with most of the shit they sing about, even if they did they certainly don't now.Originally Posted by MrKnubbles
"Hello there Wilkins throw another G Dawg gold chain on the fire it's getting rather nippy in here, also please warm my crack pipe i'm feeling funkay..."
It is unfortunate that they're changing this, but it's also an incredibly straight-forward design change.
Some people are too focused in the here-and-now to realize that this change can only benefit Death Knights. If they're not worried about making all three specs viable for both DPS and tanking, then they have the chance to improve the class a lot more than what they are now, instead of having to consider essentially 6 specs for a single class. It does suck when a spec becomes either undesirable for DPS [former BM Hunter here] or simply unusable for DPS as a whole, but with a change like this, Blizzard had to make some people unhappy.
Just please remember, those who are angry, that Cataclysm could very well put all the beauty of DPSing from Blood and put that into the other trees. Beta's not out yet, so we have no clue how this will affect the class.
I just hope they come through with their promise of making all three specs viable for tanking when either overgearing heroics or just leveling, simply because that change would occur for the Warrior, too, and I would love to tank as Arms at least once.
I want to be able to play:
DW Blood Tank
2H Blood Tank
DW Blood DPS
2H Blood DPS
DW Blood PvP
2H Blood PvP
DW Frost Tank
2H Frost Tank
DW Frost DPS
2H Frost DPS
DW Frost PvP
2H Frost PvP
DW Unholy Tank
2H Unholy Tank
DW Unholy DPS
2H Unholy DPS
DW Unholy PvP
2H Unholy PvP
Are Blizzard so incompotent that they cant even balance 3 talent trees around 18 different roles. WTF!
Seriously though, the more interesting question is whether they plan to make Blood and Frost more viable in PvP now that they have a much narrower focus throughout the two trees.
Aye, its a sad day for us Blood DPSers however it had to happen eventually. Just a shame it had to be Blood as Frost somehow sounds more tankish than Blood to me. (Not saying Frost > Blood for tanking atm, just saying Ice sounds more defensive than Blood in general).
Always got Unholy to fall back on I guess for 2H DPS. :'(
P.S: I wonder whats going to happen to talents such as Sudden Doom, Dancing Rune Weapon, Abominations Might and Hysteria? Im hoping theyre going to be put into either Frost and/or Unholy, or even be made trainable.
This'll be a great change for DKs. Makes a lot of sense.
Blood will be awful for DPS in Cata when there's no Armor Pen, especially if they have to have watered down mastery bonuses b/c their trees were for both tanking and DPSing.
So it's a good time to get rid of it.
i really ... really want to whine ... but thats so awesome
QQ here and QQ there Tbh I personally don't care because I like to play DK no matter the specc and hey all you "I <3 frost dual wield yay me I'm awsome" your going all out on blizzard because they said "Hey guys blood is the new tanking specc we havn't really told you what we are going to add" and your all like "FUCK YOU BLIZZARD YOU PHAIL I TELL YOU DUAL WIELD OR I WILL BLOW THIS THING TO PIECES... now to find some explosives" give it a rest okay so now you know blood is the new tanking specc, wait with the QQ till after they've said "no dual wield " or "yea dual wield" 'cause tbh your opinion doesn't matter shit :/ but then again this is the internet let's QQ before we even know what we are going to get.
Mark my words: When we are a year into Cataclysm, posts about "Oh, WotLK was soo great" will start appearing.
Ever since Blizz announced Mastery system I wondered how will they handle passive bonuses with all trees. And now we have the answer. Too bad that change strips DKs of one of their trademarks but I guess it cant be avoided.
So, now DKs will basically be Warriors but with slightly diffrent resource system and with no shields?

In-Game Blog/Box Score
Newark, Delaware—Senior midfielder Tyler Perrelle finalized an unbelievable Binghamton comeback, scoring the game's winning goal with just 19 seconds remaining that gave the Bearcats' a 9-8 road win over Delaware (2-5) Saturday afternoon at Delaware Stadium. Down 8-5 with under five minutes to go, BU scored four unanswered goals to move their record to 2-2 on the season.
"Our offense started clicking at the right time for us today," head coach Scott Nelson said. "We've been pretty reliant on our defense this season and they did a terrific job once again allowing just eight goals. Tyler (Perrelle) willed us at the end with a pair of great shots and I can't say enough about how hard our team fought. From the players on the field, to the guys on the sidelines, the attitude was great out there today."
With seven minutes and change left on the clock, Delaware took their largest lead of the game, 8-5, off Conor McRoy's second tally of the game. As time winded down, Binghamton was able to jump start their offense on the man-up. Sophomore Tucker Nelson delivered a precise pass to the soft spot of Delaware's zone defense to find a cutting Matt Springer who wouldn't be denied. Springer caught a pass between two defenders and lined a shot into the upper right corner of the cage.
Two minutes later into the fourth, it was Nelson once again who found a cutter, this time the recipient was classmate J.T. Hauck. The sophomore from Webster, NY took the pass in stride and calmly deposited a lefty shot into the back of the net. Hauck's goal, like Springer's, also came on the man-up. Now down just one at 8-7, the Bearcats held possession once again. After a couple of swing passes the ball found its way to Perrelle who fired a 15 yard shot past the Blue Hen's keeper at the 1:47 mark, tying the game up at eight.
Delaware won the ensuing faceoff and had an opportunity to take the lead with under a minute left, but junior goalie Max Schefler denied the hosts attempt and moved the ball up for a clear. Now with the ball on attack, Perrelle made sure he got his hands on the ball. He made a dodge left and fired a running shot at a difficult angle that beat the goalie high and out of his reach for the goal and eventual game-winner. The goal singled Binghamton's first lead of the game and with Doerflein's faceoff victory, the Bearcats were able to hold on for the 9-8 triumph.
Both Perrelle and Springer netted two goals apiece for BU. Perrelle's two points ties him with Matt McNamara for the program-record in points (97). Also, Springer moves himself into second place alone on the goals scored list with 63. Nelson had a career-high four assists, and three others tallied a score for Binghamton who outshot the Blue Hens 36-26. Sophomore Emmett O'Hara was strong off the bench, recording a goal and assist in the victory.
Alex Doerflein had another outstanding effort taking face-offs, winning 13-of-21 on the afternoon. He also scooped up a career-high 11 ground balls and recorded an assist. Schefler made eight saves in the victory as he moves to 2-2 in cage this season.
In the first half, Delaware got on the board first just three minutes in. However, Springer had an answer for the Blue Hens. The junior lefty fired a rocket over the right shoulder of Delaware goalie Chris Herbert. The hosts rallied back with a pair of goals to close out the quarter, despite having little time of possession as compared to Binghamton. Doerflein won all five faceoffs in the quarter, but turnovers were costly as they committed eight in the opening 15 minutes.
Down 3-1, the Bearcats tied things up with goals from juniors Brandon Planck and Kelly Donigan. Donigan's goal at the 10:42 mark in the second was a bouncing shot from well over 15 yards out, giving him three goals on the year. The Blue Hens matched Binghamton's run with a goal of their own to take a 4-3 halftime lead. Herbert had an excellent half, stopping 11 Binghamton shots.
Herbert tallied 16 saves in all for Delaware, who drops to 2-5 with the loss. Connor McRoy led the Blue Hens with five points (2g, 3 a).
Binghamton plays just three days from now as they travel to play #15/16 Colgate on Tuesday from Hamilton, NY. The Raiders won 17-8 last season and are 2-8 all-time versus Binghamton.

Taking Refuge In Earth
In Buddhism the pratitioner traditionally "takes refuge" in the three jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. This act is comparable to expressing allegiance and finding ground to stand on. Cynthia Jurs suggests that Earth, as an embodiment of the three jewels, is an immediate and suitable refuge and focus of reverence.Indeed, the Buddha on the eve of his enlightenment, affirmed this by "summoning the Earth to witness"--which is the Cynthia's piece, excerpted below.
by Cynthia Jurs
To see the Three Jewels embodied in the Earth, we look to the natural world and see that when nature is working in harmony that is enlightened nature! And when it is not, the Earth points out what we need to learn directly--ask any gardener!
This is the Buddha, our teacher.
When we look at all the myriad systems of the Earth working together, feeding each other, informing each other, supporting each other, we see the teachings of interdependent origination and there we have the Dharma. The path of understanding, cooperation, harmony and life-long sustainability.
When we recognize all the parts of the whole Earth in community together, all the great diversity of life, all living in relationship to one another, we have Sangha right here in front of our eyes, in all the ten directions: friends, enemies, young, old, rich, poor, 4 legged, 2 legged, winged, finned and growing roots.
The three jewels of life are all around and in us.
The Earth supports all life like a great jewel in space -- and we are a part of it all.
As a guiding force, a source of refuge, the Earth shows us the way of interdependence, interbeing and it is all teachers, all life, all our precious mothers.
The Earth as Buddha,
The Earth as Dharma,
The Earth as Sangha.
The Kusali Devi, a Newari Buddhist from Nepal, considered to be an emanation of the Mother Goddess Ajama said, that in her tradition "liberation is not possible until we have had 165 teachers! Teachers can be found everywhere and exist in all directions. We need many teachers to learn all the different skills we need in life, not just one. A true teacher directs us to ourselves; to the true guru within�. What could be a better teacher, a more perfect source of refuge for our times than the whole Earth? It is, after all, a complete expression of the whole of which we are each an inextricable part. There are lessons to be found in every direction. How exciting, humbling, and magnificent is that? How empowering and how awe-inspiring? Like meeting a great Master or our true love; this Earth, our greatest teacher. The embodiment of the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha.
Through a sense of refuge in the whole Earth, the Four Noble Truths are illuminated. We clearly see the suffering of Samsara, we awaken to the Path and understand the Way to peace and harmony through awareness.
What a profound opportunity is upon us! The realization of the bodhisattva vow now in our time. This is the realization that we cannot become liberated until we are all liberated, that every one counts, all life is interconnected. We truly do help each other by recognizing our interdependence and when we do, we see that 'I am because you are' and my survival is dependent on yours and we are all in this together. A healthy, harmonious system is in everyone's best interests. Expanding beyond the boundaries of self to embrace all life as part of what we call "ourselves". Beyond one teacher or one way to encompass the whole; vast and awe-inspiring, this self-less nature permeates and penetrates all that is, and if I am not mistaken, we are being asked by this Earth, our great teacher, to be aware of this truth now, for the sake of all life, all sentient beings, and all future generations.
Never before has the message of the Buddha been so apparent.
Embodied by the Earth, our precious teacher, who shows us the way.
This is the present moment, the only moment. Now�.
Time falls away. There is only this moment stretching out for all time, infinite as space. There is space penetrating each atom and particle of matter, and there is the harmonious co-existence of all matter as it unfolds in all its great diversity. And there is the ease in knowing this is as it is--no more, no less--perfect.
And then there is the gesture to contribute to the whole that arises naturally.
Maybe if we remember the Earth as a healthy, whole harmonious system and honor her as we would our greatest teacher, a respected elder, or our beloved, we might hear her Dharma teaching now in these late days and wake up! Maybe if we take refuge in the Whole Earth and make that our practice, the Three Jewels will awaken in our hearts, come to life in us and show us the way to set aside selfishness and greed, ignorance, pride, hatred and envy once and for all.
Namo Buddhaya.
Namo Dharmaya.
Namo Sanghaya.
So. Resting attention on the breath, we participate in life, we are part of Earth's natural order. "We have arrived, we are home". Conceptualization, discursive thought, reactive emotions, drop away and we become present and experience our connection to all that is.
When we do, we see that breathing is a function of nature.
When we honor our innate knowing as if it were the Mind of Nature, cultivate it as if it were the Garden of Life, I can assure you that happiness will flower and peace will accompany each moment, rippling out beyond the boundaries of skin.
How is a walking meditation, like breathing with awareness, a way to experience being a part of nature? By resting awareness in the movement itself, going nowhere.
With attention on the movement itself, we can experience the effortless flow of nature in each step, present and alive.
Going everywhere, doing everything, going nowhere, doing nothing.
This is Earth Dharma�
a teaching from the Earth,
from the heart of nature,
from the nature of mind.

Canada's Industry Minister, Allan Rock, and Minister of Canadian Heritage, Sheila Copps, announced the release of the 1906 Special Census of the Western Provinces in late January. Family historians can now view population records for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta at the National Archives of Canada, or online at <www.archives.ca/02/020153_e.html>.
Many Canadian officials considered the move a victory for genealogists and other researchers, in a battle that's been raging over the public release of post-1901 Canadian censuses. While the 1906 special census' release is a step in the right direction for family historians, the Canadian government still has to determine how it will proceed in releasing census information in the future.

Drone cells pointing down has mine!Scott
When you decided to put emptied between the full frames were the full ones brood? If so I would put them back together and not split the brood nest. They like it consolidated so they can manage it better.The bee at the entrance, butt raised ,was likely fanning pheremones to identify the colony. Don't put too many empty frames along side each other or they may build comb crosswise across the frames making it difficult to remove without damaging the new comb.Looks like they are ready to build their new home. :)
On Monday I will be getting 2 Nucs from the Fatbeeman in Lula. Excited about that. Like you I worry about them over heating on the ride home. It a little over 2 hours back. I was thing about leaving the board out of my screened bottom board for ventilation on the way back but don't know if it will be too much wind.
Mine on Monday is byob (bring your own box) also. How did you hold the hive together? I was thinking about a ratchet strap around the whole hive to hold it in place. I plan to turn and duct tape the my entrance reducer to block the hive entrance. Thanks for the tip about the tail gate.

What is the best way to attach armor to the vest?
Is velcro the way to go or are snaps better?
Printable View
What is the best way to attach armor to the vest?
Is velcro the way to go or are snaps better?
Both are viable options, as is bolts through eyelets in the vest. Bobamaker has an awesome tutorial on this around here somewhere.
I use both snaps and velcro on mine, because it can and have been accidently bumped/slipped/ripped off and you want the armor secured. Specifically, the shoulders, use both. Snaps alone leave gaps and velcro, by itself will come off all the time.
You want to also add snaps to your knees, cod, and back plate to your jumpsuit. They will come down after a little time. Or if you don't mind pulling them up ever so often.
Will strong velcro work?
I used the industrial velcro(HomeDepot) on my Clone and Fett. The shoulder came off a few times while trooping when I was moving/posing around and got knocked off but it will stick for the most part. But why risk it, especially when there're so many methods to secure the armor.
My experience when it got knocked off or moved was when little kids started grabbing and adults putting there arms around my shoulder. At Cons, people bumped it off because of the crowdedness.
Cr4nky, thx for showing the other post. I remember seeing that a while back but couldn't find it.
Well I believe I can use snaps along with industrial velcro. But I'm not going to get them until after everything for my armor is complete and ready to be attached to. I am thinking of using snaps for the collar, neck, medallian, and ab plates and the industrial velcro will be for my shoulders. Thank goodness my armor wont have a cod plate or knee plates. I am releaved for that LOL!
If your going to use any Velcro, I would advise to use some sort of epoxy or better glue than what comes on the peel and stick types, because after a while of it getting hot and stuff it will start to shift around and leave sticky spots. Also, sew it on where you can. Good luck!
Well velcro will only be in use for the shoulders so that is good enough for me. Plus my armor is going to be made out of cardboard so it is really alright.
Definately go with a combo of industrial strength velcro (Home Depot & sew to the vest) and snaps (Michaels or other craft-type stores) on any and all pieces. Things shift, things get bumped and honestly, better to be safe with some overkill than sorry and have something happen to a part of your armor you either worked hard on or paid alot for, ya' know?
I'm in the middle now of fastening my armor to the softparts of my BobaMaker suit, and man is it ever nerve-wracking! I should have just paid the extra to have it all done for me. LOL
I'd suggest using velcro without adhesive and sewing them to the fabric in stead though.
sorry i didnt read the whoole thing but i did notice a few things. one someone said that the sholders were one of the places that need snaps the most. two i was just woundering why you chose cardboard? i just started my first fett and i am useing sintra. i boght a quarter of a sheet (enough to cut all the armor out of for five bucks at my local sign shop.) the templates are on here your probly already useing them. and i formed all execept the back in a pot of boiling water. likie i said i didnt read everything so you might have explained this but im kinda lost on why people are useing cardboard at all.
I superglue stickyback velcro to the cloth parts and have never had a problem doing that. Just make sure to get the industrial strength stuff.
is there an industrial velcro that you can just sew on ,i only have the sticky industrial velcro !!
i find Velcro melts , you should try nuts and bolts
ouch !! :lol
I like the idea of putting epoxy(havn't tried this yet) or maybe plummer's goop(use and tried, still holding) on the velcro.
Don't use "Amazing Goop", silicone glue, super glue or hot glue, they do not work.
I just started my fett but from experience with other costumes, you can never go wrong with both velcro AND snaps. Both act as a fail safe or catch all if you will for the other. As long as you use Industrial Strength velcro it'll hold pretty good, and also don't go cheap with the snaps... get the heavy duty snaps, not the craft kind.
I am going with the eyelet/bolt attachment (great idea btw) for chest armor since they never really need to come off.
However, are there any good ideas for the back armor (excluding industrial strength velcro and snaps), since it needs to come off to get into the flak vest.
Hands down, SNAPS.
I just converted all of my armor from VELCRO to snaps. I wish I never used velcro....

Re: Squad Breakfast
These guys are so energetic! I like the emotion conveyed, along with the very well executed detail (nice touch on the shadow). The only thing I'd change would be the bacon faces. It just seems better to have them as 'lesser, inanimate' objects to keep the focus on the eggs.

nessa204 wrote:ORLY? I see what you did tharr.
"Poor" and "bad" *are* synonyms after a fashion, so you are somewhat correct...
However, my original word choice was intentional as I tend to view the subject of grammar in black and white, correct and incorrect, acceptable and unacceptable.
I'm ok with 1337 and all that jazz in the proper forums and usually love them as jokes... I just don't think that incorrect grammar fits as well with this joke than the rest of the well thought-out design.
(A quick check in Merriam Webster actually provides "bad grammar" as an example under the sixth definition of "bad." Funneh.)
I'm confused. Are you saying grammar mistakes aren't considered typos? I thought it was funny. Still do, in fact.

Very nice overall composition! I like where you put the type!
Super cute! But the see-through knife kinda bothers me. I still love it, but if I owned it that would bug me.

The crime scene cleaners
07/10/2013 , 10:40 AM by Jonathan Morrell
Cleaning is almost always hard work and not a lot of fun. But imagine having to clean away the aftermath of a murder or suicide? It's something most of us probably wouldn't want to think about. However, it has to be done. Refeea Naboulssi and her husband Michael are crime scene cleaners based in Perth. Refeea says it was hard to cary out the work at first but now it's just part of a regular job. Hear her interview with Jonathan Morrell.

Dublin police chief to retire, manage ranch in Montana
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | October 14. 2013 9:02PM
After more than two decades on the Dublin Police Department, Chief James Letourneau says it's time to hand in his badge. (MEGHAN PIERCE PHOTO)
Letourneau grew up in Rindge, but his mother was originally from Dublin.
"It was exciting and it was fresh and I went after it, never looking back," Letourneau said. "It wasn't something I was actually looking for, but the qualifications fit me."
With Zachary graduating from ConVal High School in Peterborough next spring, Jim and Becky asked the children where they would like to go this summer.
The teenagers decided on a dude ranch.
After some research Letourneau found Hawley Mountain Guest Ranch in McLeod, Montana.
"It's rustic and clean, but it certainly gives you that western feel," Letourneau said. "Everything about it was just great. They have a way of giving you an experience and making you feel at home."
He plans to split his time between Dublin and the ranch and will hire staff, oversee 10 employees, take reservations and mingle with guests among numerous other duties.
While his new job will be fun and exciting, he said, it will be far from retirement.
Charlie Champagne chairman of the Dublin Board of Selectmen, said Letourneau will be "sorely missed," but his departure is not unexpected.
Not only was he great at police work, but he has been so involved in the town and community, Champagne said.
Letourneau has also agreed to stay on part time if the town hasn't hired a new chief before the end of the year, Champagne said.

I don't much care for DAO. I shoot a lot of DA but I still like to be able to cock the trigger and fire them off to.
It seems that a lot of manufactures are going DAO. I hope they will give you a choice and offer SA/DA also. I went to a gun store in the next town and they had 10 walther P99's. I got really excited hoping to find a 9mm compact in SA/DA. They were all DAO. I guess I'll have to wait for the big gun show to come to town.
I don't much care for DAO. I shoot a lot of DA but I still like to be able to cock the trigger and fire them off to.
Amen. I'm a big fan of the SA/DA. I know Cooper said it was a solution to a nonexistent problem, but I tend to disagree. I think it's pure genius. I really like the option of a manual safety as well on an SA/DA. I think it's the only weakness in a Sig. Personal preference, I know. I think it's the safest way for us civvies to carry a weapon.
I've been finding more and more people buying guns in DAO because the hammer "scares" them. I don't understand that logic at all since I don't own a gun without one myself. I can almost understand the snagging issue for CCW, but again... my carry guns are SA/DA. But it's all about supply and demand.
As far as manual safeties go... I can take them or leave them. I only have one gun with a manual safety on it and I find it to be a hinderance to use. But as you said, it is personal prefrance.
I don't understand the hammer fear either. I would think such a fear would work the other way. Having a device(striker or internal hammer) that you can't see or manipulate can be seen as scary. I like the traditional DAO over the striker-fired variety too. I just wish they could make a trigger in an auto that felt more like a revolver. It's hard to describe it but it doesn't feel as smooth.
I'm with you. I like being able to decock my guns, and most of the striker fired guns don't have that option. It's one of the things I like about P99, you can still decock the gun.
And here I was, 1st seeing the subject line - and thinking to myself... He wants to edjumicate himself by studying the Dao (Tap). But, alas, I am finding out its double action only when I open the thread

Follow the progress of the wagon train.
Webcast To Follow School Wagon Train History Project
AUSTIN, Texas — Students and history buffs of all ages can follow along Jan. 4-27 via the Internet as dozens of school students from California and Texas board horse-drawn wagons to retrace the route of gold rush adventurer William P. Huff.
Huff's 300,000-word diary shares a detailed account of his mid-1800s trip from near Houston to near Fresno, California. The students' journey this month will retrace Huff's route in reverse, starting near El Paso tomorrow and heading back across Texas. They will stop for a ceremony at the capitol building in Austin on Jan. 25 and end on Jan. 27 at the Houston area grave of William Huff, where they will return the borrowed diary to his descendants.
Fourteen California schoolchildren will make the entire journey. Dozens of Texas schoolchildren from the Dallas/Fort Worth, Waco, Houston, El Paso and West Texas regions will join the wagon train temporarily at various points.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will post the progress of the student adventure on its Web site, including student comments and video diaries of their journey. Other schoolchildren may email questions of the traveling students, which TPWD employees will relay on to the children during their trip.
History has paid little attention to the trials and experiences of the "southern Argonauts" as they trekked across difficult terrain to seek their fortunes in the Gold Rush of 1849. Huff did not strike it rich in the Gold Rush, but he left a rich trove for historians in the details of his diary.
California teacher Bill Coate created the school wagon train adventure to bring the historic journey of pioneers such as William Huff to life for today's young people. His students and Texas students will learn to harness mules, sleep in tents, cook over fires and otherwise experience life during the pioneer era. Along the way, they will read Huff's diary along the way and keep their own journals. The students will share their experiences at the end of the trail by publishing a book.
The educational project is a partnership venture of Madera Unified School District, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the Texas Historical Commission.
