SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Dan Roundfield, an NBA veteran who had three consecutive All-Star seasons, has drowned off the Caribbean island of Aruba while helping his wife as she struggled in rough water. He was 59.
Roundfield, who played 11 professional seasons with Indiana, Atlanta, Detroit and Washington, had been swimming with his wife, Bernie, off the southeastern tip of Aruba on Monday when they became caught in rough water beyond a protected reef area, said John Larmonie, a police spokesman on the southern Caribbean island.
The former All Star was apparently swept away in a strong current as he tried to help his struggling wife, Larmonie said. Police, firefighters, the Coast Guard and volunteers searched for him, finding his body about 90 minutes later, trapped by rocks underwater.
"It's a real tragedy," Larmonie said. "He drowned saving his wife."
Bernie Roundfield, who said she was helped to safety by a U.S. tourist snorkeling nearby, said in an interview that the couple, who live in the Atlanta area, had come to the island with their two grandchildren.
The couple had visited Aruba nearly 20 times and were caught off guard by the strong currents at the swimming area known as "Baby Beach," even though they had been there many times in the past, she said.
"We always go to Baby Beach, and we go there because it's so safe," she told The Associated Press. "It happened so fast."
Bernie Roundfield was treated for shock after the incident and Larmonie said the government had provided a social worker to assist her and other family members as they remained on the island Tuesday.
Julia Roundfield, a sister-in-law of the athlete, who lives in Detroit, said members of the former athlete's extended family were still trying to get details of the incident.
"He was a real sweet guy," Julia Roundfield said. "He really was a sweetheart."
His wife said he will be remembered as a family man.
"People knew he was a great husband, a great dad, a great grandfather," Bernie Roundfield said. "They knew he would help his friends or any other person who needed help."
A 6-foot-8 forward-center out of Detroit, Roundfield played for Central Michigan in college and started his pro career with Indiana, which was then in the ABA. He played 11 professional seasons. Besides the Pacers, he had stints with Atlanta, Detroit and Washington and averaged 15.2 point per game for his NBA career.
Roundfield was selected as an All-Star in 1980, 1981 and 1982, when he was playing for the Hawks.
Friends and colleagues mourned an athlete that they said was known for physical play but a gentle nature. "Danny represented the Hawks with dignity and pride both on and off the court, and this is a tragic loss for us all," team General Manager Danny Ferry said in a statement.
Former Hawks teammate Dominique Wilkins called Roundfield the "most honest and upfront person I knew," in a statement released by the team. "He taught me how to be a professional and took me under his wing," he said. "My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, I will truly miss him."
In addition to his wife, Roundfield is survived by his sons Christopher and Corey and two grandchildren. Funeral arrangements had not been finalized.
Larmonie said Baby Beach is generally safe but can be deceptive. The water can get treacherous out beyond the reef in rough weather.
"It was a really bad day to go outside the reef," he said.
In August 2011, an American tourist, Gary Giordano of Gaithersburg, Maryland, reported that his companion, Robyn Gardner of Frederick, Maryland, disappeared while snorkeling near Baby Beach. Police detained Giordano on suspicion of involvement in her death but he was released for lack of evidence and returned to the U.S.

Actress Kate Winslet has wed for a third time.
The Titanic star secretly exchanged vows with boyfriend Ned Rocknroll in New York earlier this month. Her representative has confirmed the happy news, telling Eonline.com, the private nuptials were "attended by her two children and a very few friends and family".
Winslet has been dating billionaire businessman Richard Branson's nephew, birth name Abel Smith, for just over a year. They quietly became engaged over the summer.
The 34 year old was previously married to British socialite Eliza Cowdray, while Winslet, 37, has been married to Jim Threapleton and moviemaker Sam Mendes. The actress has children from both marriages.
The newlyweds reportedly bought a home together in West Sussex, England in September.

TWIST: Difference in handgun vs. rifle for same caliber
Question for you twist wizards: If you had a pistol, using a specific bullet & cartridge, then wanted a rifle using the same bullet & cartridge, would you need or want a different twist for the rifle vs. the pistol?
Assume the rifle is used for much longer range shooting.
If not, why not?

Depends on bullet length (weight)
Increased barrel length tends to increase velocity. A bullet moving faster through the barrel will be spinning faster, so theoretically you could have a slower twist in the rifle and achieve the same spin rate. Tighter twists tend to cause more friction but I'm sure it's fairly negligible.
You wont "need" a different twist for a longer barrel. It's possible to need a faster twist for a shorter barrel if the bullet isn't pushed fasted enough, it may not be spun fast enough and therefore can be unstable.
For the most part, most pistol and revolver cartridges can share twist rates between the pistols and rifles. Generally the pistol twist rate is fast enough, so if it's stabile in the pistol it will be stabile in a rifle, and the rifle wont "over spin" the bullets.
One thing I should clear up, is that a longer barrel wont stabilize a bullet better simply because it's longer. I've had people claim that the bullet doesn't "catch" the rifling right away, so a short barrel may not stabilize the bullet. That is simply not true. If your bullets aren't "catching" the rifling right away your bullets are undersized or your bore is oversized, and it likely wont catch any better down the barrel. You get more stability with a longer barrel because the bullets generally exit faster. If a bullet is moving through a given twist rate, the faster it moves through the rifling, the faster it spins.
If two identical bullets leave two different barrels, one 3'' and one 28'' with equal twist rates, and the bullets leave the barrel at the same velocity, they both should have equal spin rates, and therefore the same stability.

The main factor in determining rifling twist is not the barrel length but the bullet length and the ratio of diameter to length. A longer bullet (like most rifle bullets) will require more twist for stability. Most handgun bullets are pretty short (imagine a .30 caliber 220 grain bullet in a .32 ACP case!!) so require a slower twist.
For rifles like the .30-'06 which is loaded with a wide variety of bullets, manufacturers choose a compromise twist rate (usually 1:10) which will be OK for the medium bullet range (150-180 grain) but perhaps not so good at the extremes (110-220 grain).

The only time that situation would occur would be with something like a Contender or XP100 in what is really a rifle caliber to begin with, OR something like a lever action carbine shooting what is really a pistol caliber.
Theoretically, the shorter barrel should have a faster twist because it will develop less velocity and consequently slower rotation. But the effect is small in most cases.

Experience has shown that cold case programs can solve a substantial number of violent crime cold cases, including homicides and sexual assaults. Advances in DNA technologies have substantially increased the successful DNA analysis of aged, degraded, limited, or otherwise compromised biological evidence. As a result, crime scene samples once thought to be unsuitable for testing may now yield DNA profiles. Additionally, samples that previously generated inconclusive DNA results may now be successfully analyzed. To this end, the National Institute of Justice seeks to assist law enforcement agencies by developing their knowledge base, affording them opportunities to use forensic laboratories for the DNA analysis of cold case evidence, and aiding in the subsequent investigation to solve cold cases.
Learn more about the
Solving Cold Cases With DNA Program.
NIJ's Solving Cold Cases With DNA program offers funds to States and units of local government to identify, review and investigate Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Part 1 Violent Crime[1] cold cases that have the potential to be solved through DNA analysis. For the purpose of this program, a "violent crime cold case" refers to any unsolved UCR Part 1 Violent Crime case for which all significant investigative leads have been exhausted. The funds can be used to locate and analyze biological evidence associated with these cases, as well as conduct CODIS hit follow-up travel and investigations. The Solving Cold Cases With DNA program has been offered for six years, with the first solicitation offered in 2005, then offered every fiscal year from 2007 to 2011 through a competitive award process.

Video: Watch Jose Aldo's Miserable UFC Q&A Session With Drunk Bostonians
(Video courtesy of YouTube.com/UFC)
Fresh off the most embarrassing UFC Q&A ever involving CM Punk earlier this month in Las Vegas, NV., at UFC 182, the UFC thought it would be a great idea to call upon its featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo, to answer some hard-hitting questions in Boston a day before UFC Fight Night 59 (which takes place tonight, if you haven't heard already).
It was sort of like a fair exchange, seeing how tonight's headliner, Conor McGregor, goofed around with the Brazilian fans at his Q&A during UFC 179 weekend in Brazil, teasing the country and calling out some "mamacitas."
If you predicted this installment was going to be as cringeworthy as the last few, then you deserve the Medal of Honor. Then again, would you rather watch these types of train wrecks, or a respectful and intelligent session with the likes of Cain Velasquez (UFC 180) or T.J. Dillashaw (UFC 181)?
It's a tough call, really.Read More DIGG THIS

Among the new features that make Halo 4 superior to its predecessors is a greater diversity in the competitive multiplayer function, which adds a whole new dimension to the game. Groups of friends can have fun battling it out to see who has what it takes to be the best, while the powerful customisation and creation tools make the game highly playable.
I am a huge fan of the entire Halo series, I literally have an entire level on my display shelf dedicated to it, and I have every title in the series so far. I have heard 4 is unreal like the author is saying, I am going to pick it up asap.
Lookin forward to entering the Halo universe (since the kids are getting a 360 for Xmas). I really want to start with 4 but also don't want to screw up the experience playing out of sequence.
Got my copy.
But the wife will not let me touch it until xmas.
It's in my house, I paid for it, it's mine. But I can't play it for another month.
Life is funny sometimes.

Oh Leslie, I am sorry. I am sure you will have better luck next time! Have a great holiday weekend!ReplyDelete
OOooooo! I'll take one in a small. I'd love it in Citron Green/Brown. =) SO cute...makes me want to take up advanced knitting. SOmeday. In the meantime, I think I should work on my sewing skills and try my hand at that adorable twirly skirt. Very cute!ReplyDelete
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. BTW,my hubby just got my girls a tiny pink golf bag and matching shoes. SO sweet. I figured you'd like that. Also, June 8th, there is a big event at his course called the Fallen Heroes tournament. It's turning into a great event with the money being raised for children of fallen service personnel. The PGA president and CBS are gonna be there...lots of great sponsors too. Tell your hubby to watch for a segment during the PGA CHampionship in August. Just thought I'd share that too. =)
Oh no! BUt it's better to start over now than to go further and find out that it doesn't fit. The colour is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Awwww, sorry your measurements were off . . but at least you'll know now the second time around and it should work out perfectly. I'll be waiting to see the finished piece! :)ReplyDelete
Sometimes something like that. I knitted a lace long vest but it is not fit on me.So i have recyle yarn.ReplyDelete
I love that yarn.Its quite soft.I used this yarn for my Lace Tee.
don't you hate when that happens?! I've had the same problem with a pair of socks that I keep having to recast, I'm trying to get the size right..ReplyDelete
I love that color! I'm sure it will be lovely once it fits right!

Agile 2011 In Summary

Read later
Reading List
The Agile 2011 conference was held in Salt Lake City from 8-12 August this year. The conference is run every year by the Agile Alliance, and as this year is the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Agile Manifesto the conference organisers decided to go back to where the agile movement started in 2001.
The conference attracted over 1600 attendees from 43 countries, 968 proposals were received out of which 268 sessions were selected.
The conference was structured into 16 "stages", each with a different theme and focus. The breadth of tocpis covered by the various stages is an indicator of how pervasive agile techniques have become in industry. The stages covered every area from agile for imbedded systems to project management to UX design to research to working with customers. This breadth meant there was something for everyone, and the mood among the conference attendees was upbeat and positive. A general theme this reported picked up from talking to attendees is that agile has become "the way we work" in many organisations, it's no longer unusual or considered different it's just the way software is built in their organisations.
There were a number of special stages/spaces in the conference space:
- Agile Alliance Lounge - Agile Alliance board members and candidates were available to answer questions and talk about the work of the alliance with interested conference attendees
- Open Jam - a space where people could share questions and ideas, either by running a brief presentation/talk or just by hosting a short discussion. This space was open all day and late into the evening and seemed to be well used. A valuable part of the Open Jam was "Coaches Corner" where experienced Agile coaches were available to answer questions and share ideas on an ad-hoc basis.
- Continuing the philanthropic theme from previous conferences Bob Payne from AgilePhilanthropy ran the "Live Aid" stage raising funds for Mano a Mano International. A silent auction ran over the duration of the conference which raised over US$3000 for the charity.
Running in parallel to the first day of the conference was an Executive Forum, an invitation only day long event hosted by Jim Highsmith and Pat Reed targeted at senior executives. This forum attracted over 60 CXX level executives from large organisations around the world.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Agile Manifesto, a "Big Park Bench" event was held with 15 of the original 17 signatories recounting their thoughts on the original gathering and answering questions from the audience. Lively discussion and much good-natured bantering was complimented by serious thoughts about the future of the agile movement.
On the Tuesday evening an Industry Analyst Panel was held with four analysts discussing their understanding of the current and future state of agile development. The panel consisted of
- Dave West, Forrester Research
- Michael Cote, RedMonk
- Melinda Ballou, IDC
- Michael Azoff, Ovum
Wednesday evening was the Agile Alliance Annual General Meeting. Board elections were held via electronic ballot with new board members announced at the keynote on Friday morning. (Full disclosure - this reporter has been elected to the Agile Alliance board for 2011-2012).
There were three keynote sessions:
- Dr. Barbara Fredrickson - Why Care about Positive Emotions?
- Kevlin Henney - Code
- Linda Rising - The Power of an Agile Mindset
The keynotes will be the subject of InfoQ articles over the next few weeks. In addition a number of the speakers have been interviewed by InfoQ and those video sessions will be released as they become available.
Certification was a topic of discussion in the hallways, with Alistair Cockburn promoting ICAgile, the PMI promoting their new certification and the Scrum Alliance sponsorng the Coaches Corner.
Overall the event was considered highly successful and valuable by the attendees this reporter spoke to, and from the Agile Alliance perspective was a great celebration of ten years of the agile movement.
Some commentators have posted their own summaries of the conference:

This year's conference was again less geared towards developers/architects and more towards coaching, leadership.
Unfortunately even that one session that you were referring to, did not address challenges of integrating agile teams with the infrastructure teams ( DBAs, SAs).

I find it hard to believe that all enterprise projects out there are built without thinking. Agile is not for startups and small teams anymore, it moved to an enterprise level. I've been on many Agile projects myself in various roles and this is what we struggled with.
Balancing out a long term vision for the product, building scalable solution and short-term iteration focus is a challenge.
It would be interesting to hear how others addressing this challenge. This is what was missing from the conference.
Re: Architecture missing!
Steven Schwartz
Agile is about doing everything in the same phase (i.e. interleaved): design, build, test, revise. If your design is not about "doing," why are you doing it?
Development/engineering is about solving a problem or strongly-related set of problems, within a relatively narrow domain. Architecture is about thinking across the problem domains to address the broad needs of the application.

The upcoming videogame based on the "Saw" horror films will closely approximate being strapped to a chair and forced to figure out a confusing electronic torture device for the amusement of its sadistic creator, said project lead Steven Richards.
"When Konami took over production, we asked ourselves what type of game would appeal to both gamers and horror fans," said Richards. "What we came up with was, a game so terrible that people are willing to saw off their own feet to avoid playing it in the first place. Frankly, we think it's a winning concept."
The "Saw" franchise, known for claustrophobic locations, depressingly drab set designs and "average Joe" protagonists, will take no advantage whatsoever of next-gen graphic capabilities, design director Ed Chu said.
"Today's platforms are capable of so much in terms of visuals," Chu said. "We felt that trapping our characters in a series of small, ugly environments would set the series apart from games like Killzone 2 and Fallout 3, which were lovingly designed over a period of years. We've got to hack this thing out in time for the next movie, you know? We don't have the luxury of time."
In a move sure to enrage fans of the movies and hardcore gamers alike, Saw will feature frustrating puzzles as well as combat sequences totally unlike anything in the films.
"There are two things videogamers can't get enough of," Richards said. "Arbitrary deaths and movie tie-ins that totally contradict the spirit of the source material. We'll have both of those in spades."
The much buzzed-about puzzle interface is designed to be as unfair and confusing as the traps laid by serial killer Jigsaw himself, Richards claimed, adding that players will experience many of the same emotions as they would in a real-life death trap.
"We worked hard to capture that sense of despair," he said. "'What's happening to me?' 'When will it stop?' 'Why would anyone do this to another human being?' These are the questions we want people asking themselves when they're playing Saw."
The preceding content was intended as a piece of fictional satire and should not be taken seriously.

"Physics First" is a movement that encourages high schools to offer a full-year physics course to ninth-graders, before they take chemistry and biology. Also sometimes called "early high school physics," the "physics-chemistry-biology (PCB)" sequence, or the "cornerstone to capstone (C-to-C) program," Physics First has been gaining momentum as an organized movement of educators and physicists since around 1990, although the concept of teaching physics to ninth-graders goes back several decades before that. Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, Physics First's most prominent proponent, estimates that around 2,000 US high schools have now adopted some version of the program for at least some of their freshmen.

There's a reasonable approach to getting the energy we need from potentially hazardous yet promising methods, whether hydraulic fracturing or nuclear power. It goes something like this:
If we can eliminate dangers or reduce them to an acceptable level, and if we can agree on what that level is and who will enforce it, then we can consider the benefits. In the case of fracking, New York is going to take a few years to make sure that it can be done safely and that reasonable people can agree that the necessary regulations and enforcement are in place.
You'd think that it would take a panel of scientists to make these determinations, but it is much more simple. All you have to do is apply the watershed test.
New York City gets its water from upstate reservoirs that sit above pockets of frackable gas. The city's current mayor and other leaders favor fracking as long as the state draws a big red line around the watershed and does not allow drilling inside.
If the state eventually comes up with enough rules and the money to enforce them so that the next mayor and those leaders will agree to fracking inside the watershed, we would be able to assume that the practice is safe enough to be pursued elsewhere as well. If not, we can assume that there are enough doubts about the safety of fracking so that it should be either prohibited or sent back for even more study.
We can apply such simple logic to other thorny energy questions as well, especially the safety of nuclear power plants as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission considers requests to extend the licenses of the plants at Indian Point. And all nations with reactors are working to absorb the lessons from the meltdowns that followed the tsunami in Japan.
Here you need to apply two tests, one dealing with politicians and the other with rats. (No, they are not the same. Stop being so cynical.) In Washington, the NRC has been wrestling with the need for expensive emergency filters that might keep radioactive particles from escaping in the case of an accident, even though staff members admit the filters don't always work as well as they might. Making the case that the nuclear industry should not have to spend all this money are dozens of lawmakers, most of whom have received some of that money themselves.
In Japan earlier this month, a blackout cut power to the cooling system for four pools storing thousands of spent nuclear fuel rods at one of the damaged reactors. They traced the fault back to a switchboard and inside they found two things — frayed wires and a charred rat.
You might think that after all these years, those who design and operate reactors and those who are responsible for their safety had figured out ways to keep a single rat or a handful of politicians from exposing us to so much risk. In both cases, you'd be wrong.

; Equivalent to the above: (theory-invariant (incompatible '(:rewrite left-to-right) '(:rewrite right-to-left)) :key my-invariant :error nil)
General Form: (theory-invariant term &key key error)
termis a term that uses no variables other than
keyis an arbitrary ``name'' for this invariant (if omitted, an integer is generated and used); and
:errorspecifies the action to be taken when an invariant is violated -- either
nilif a warning is to be printed, else
t(the default) if an error is to be caused.
Theory-invariant is an event that adds to or modifies the table
of user-supplied theory invariants that are checked each time a theory
expression is evaluated.
The theory invariant mechanism is provided via a table
(see table) named
theory-invariant-table. In fact, the
theory-invariant ``event'' is just a macro that expands into a use of the
table event. More general access to the
table is provided by
table itself. For example, the table
can be inspected or cleared with
table; you can clear an individual
theory invariant by setting the invariant to
t, or eliminate all theory
invariants with the command
(table theory-invariant-table nil nil :clear).
Theory-invariant-table maps arbitrary keys to records containing terms
that mention, at most, the variables
ens and
state. Every time an
alleged theory expression is evaluated, e.g., in the
in-theory event or
in-theory hint, each of the terms in
theory-invariant-table is
evaluated with
ens bound to a so-called ``enabled structure'' obtained
from the theory expression and
state bound to the current ACL2 state
(see state). Users generally need not know about the enabled structure,
other than that it can be accessed using the macros
active-runep and
incompatible; see active-runep and see incompatible. If the result is
nil, a message is printed and an error occurs (except, only a warning
occurs if
:error nil is specified). Thus, the table can be thought
of as a list of conjuncts. Each
term in the table has a ``name,''
which is just the key under which the term is stored. When a theory violates
the restrictions specified by some term, both the name and the term are
printed. By calling
theory-invariant with a new term but the same name,
you can overwrite that conjunct of the theory invariant; but see the Local
Redefinition Caveat at the end of this note. You may want to avoid using
explicit names, since otherwise the subsequent inclusion of another book that
defines a theory invariant with the same name will override your theory
Theory invariants are particularly useful in the context of large rule sets intended for re-use. Such sets often contain conflicting rules, e.g., rules that are to be enabled when certain function symbols are disabled, rules that rewrite in opposite directions and thus loop if simultaneously enabled, groups of rules which should be enabled in concert, etc. The developer of such rule sets understands these restrictions and probably documents them. The theory invariant mechanism allows the developer to codify his restrictions so that the user is alerted when they are violated.
Since theory invariants are arbitrary terms, macros may be used to express commonly used restrictions. For example, executing the event
(theory-invariant (incompatible (:rewrite left-to-right) (:rewrite right-to-left)))would subsequently cause an error any time the current theory contained both of the two runes shown. Of course, incompatible is just defined as a macro. Its definition may be inspected with
:pe incompatible.
In order for a
theory-invariant event to be accepted, the proposed theory
invariant must be satisfied by the current theory (see current-theory). The
value returned upon successful execution of the event is the key (whether
user-supplied or generated).
Local Redefinition Caveat. Care needs to be taken when redefining a theory invariant in a local context. Consider the following example.
(theory-invariant (active-runep '(:definition binary-append)) :key app-inv)The second pass of the
(encapsulate () (local (theory-invariant t :key app-inv)) (in-theory (disable binary-append)) (defthm ...))
encapsulate will fail, because the
in-theory event violates the original
theory-invariant and the
theory-invariant is skipped in the second pass of the
encapsulate. Of course,
theory-invariants in
books can cause the analogous problem in the second (
pass of a
certify-book. In both cases, though, the theory invariants
are only checked at the conclusion of the (
include-book or
encapsulate) event. Indeed, theory invariants are checked at the end of
every event related to theories, including
encapsulate, and
include-book, except for events
executed on behalf of an
include-book or the second pass of an

Just watched episode 21.
Nonoha - Professional Stalker
Oh, and it was nice to see the principal again. Didn't feel right without him you know?
At last! Some sort of contect between Kaito and Nonoha that has revived the relationship between them! That was a nice scene to watch though. The hug scene I mean, not when everything around Kaito began to disappear because his brain blocked out unecessary information.
Damn, Cubic managed to hack into the POG? Must have taken him a while, no wonder he hasn't been appearing lately, he's locked up in that room the entire time
I wonder when Ana's going to make her...er...his return in this anime. We saw a still shot of him near the end of this episode but that's it.
And Jin! Wooo!

That was indeed one epic scene with nonoha at the end.Nonoha FIGHTO!
Though it's amazing how she got there so quickly
What Orpheus is doing to kaito kind of reminds me of a much less gorier version of Saya no Uta.

Well, this time we got some new info about the whole POG thing goal and plans.
Can't wait to finally see a real Kaito vs Rook standoff!
Guess Jin was totally right to quit POG, he was the smart one.
The only mistake was taking on the main boss Pythagoras...
No way! Rook is now the boss.
Really interesting episode!

Rook now being the real Big Bad was something I should have seen coming. He looked far too manipulative and scheming to be just a mere henchman of Count Pythagoras.
So there are multiple Orpheus bracelets? I didn't see that coming. Nor the fact that Jin took on Pythagoras and apparently won, though at the cost of his own sanity. Heck, Rook himself seems to have gone quite far off the deep end himself. Then again, he never had any friends he could count on to keep him from going astray.
Apparently, Ana is aware of Kaito's doomsday premonition. I wonder what he'll do to help Kaito prevent that from happening. Heck, I'm sure even Gammon will come to his senses eventually.

Jin looks so lost...it's as if Rook had broke his will or something. I wonder what happened between him and the Count.
Ana finally reappeared again, although it's definitely weird that he can paint the future/Kaito's images...Ana sure is special
Thats an interesting fact, there's more than one Orpheus arm band? And just how many Phi Brain children are there? Gammon, Ana, Cubic, Kaito, Rook and who knows how many more.
That was some informative past scenes with Jin and Baron when they were in the POG together. And what a crazy ending to this episode that was!

....And I wonder about origins of Orpheus armband. I heard somewhere that some sort of Orpheus order is going to show up in second season, so maybe we will find out something then :3
Jiiiin~ °A° what the hell happened! My heart is crying for him~ Poor guy, I hope he ever recovers. He looked so broken and maybe brainwashed to me T__T
Lol'ed at Nonoha and Kaito's fight at the beginning xD Nonoha sure did had to fight with Kaito, in order to stay with Kaito xD

Just managed to watch this ep and OOOHH it's getting better and better. (GO NONOHA!!!) So many revelations. Also, I really wonder how Ana knows what Kaito is seeing in his visions. Does he see them as well?
Rook's appearance in the end was pretty good, FINALLY they let Sakurai Takahiro be as creepy and psycho as he can. But what was with that outfit??? ^^;;; Oh Rook, your sense of style still sucks. Is this what he wears under his coat?
Re: Jin, I think his brain pretty much overloaded... poor guy. I hope he'll get better...
Next time it's Gammon vs Kaito - again! I hope they settle it this time...
(Also, in this ep we got to see Nonoha's namesake. Oh Nonoha, if you only knew you were named after a puzzle... XD)

Another great episode! (Feels like I'm repeating myself... xD) This is how a penultimate episode should go! The puzzle wasn't as grandiose as I thought it would be, but oh well, it worked. GO KAITO! >o<)/
And the preview! Can't wait for next week's ep.

Crime in Florida has reached a 40-year low, but Michael Connelly doesn't expect to run out of material any time soon.
Even back when he was standing next to a bloodied body as a young police-beat reporter at the Sun Sentinel in the mid 1980s, the story he was interested in was less about the murder than the investigator standing at the victim's feet. The one who smoked a cigar "so the smell of tobacco will overcome the sickly smell of death."
"The best stories are not about how the cop worked the case, but how the case worked the cop," the best-selling crime writer says by phone from his home in Tampa.
Since leaving his hometown of Fort Lauderdale for a job as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Connelly has written more than two dozen crime novels, most starring pugnacious LAPD homicide detective Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch, introduced in the 1992 novel "The Black Echo." The prolific author's most-recent book is 2012's "The Black Box," and he has a May 28 deadline ticking on his next book, "The Gods of Guilt," featuring L.A. attorney Mickey Haller, Bosch's half-brother.
On Tuesday, Connelly will return to the scene of some memorable crimes when he discusses his work for a gathering in the auditorium of the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, a fundraiser for the nonprofit grassroots journalism site BrowardBulldog.org, presented by Nova Southeastern University and Boardroom Communications. The 6:30 p.m. event will include a Q&A, a book signing, an auction for a shot to name a character in "The Gods of Guilt" and a raffle of signed editions of "The Black Box" to benefit the Kathleen Pellegrino Scholarship Fund at the University of Florida
Connelly says he would not be the writer he is if not for a newspaper assignment to spend a week with Fort Lauderdale homicide investigators. The setting was particularly deadly, as Connelly observed then: "Fort Lauderdale will be the new murder capital of the South and the second deadliest city in the United States — behind Detroit — if the homicide rate for the rest of 1987 matches the pace set during the first six months."
He can even trace his success back to one man, FLPD Sgt. George Hurt. Connelly was granted access to the homicide squad as it responded to three deaths, with the agreement that he would stay close to Hurt, "so I wouldn't mess up a crime scene," the author recalls. Connelly says each murder scene had something in common.
"I still remember this vividly … [Hurt] would take off his glasses and pause next to the body and have this moment of communion, a moment of silence," Connelly recalls. "I was curious. Was he saying a prayer? Making a promise? He didn't want to share with me. ...
"Later, I noticed his glasses, which he had been putting in his mouth, and the ends of the earpieces were all chewed out. He was biting down on them so tightly, they were destroyed. This is what his job did to him. That meant a lot to me," Connelly says. "I had been fooling around with fiction at night, trying to write stories, but they were missing something. I found it with him."
Michael Connelly will appear 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, 1 E. Las Olas Blvd. Tickets cost $30 in advance, $35 at the door; $20 for students. An $85 VIP ticket includes drinks and hors d'oeuvres with Connelly at a 5:30 p.m. reception, priority seating and priority access to the book signing. Go to BulldogEvent.EventBrite.com.

Hey there,
Has anyone got the chance to try install Debian or Ubuntu on the new MacBookAir models yet? Just to be clear, I am not talking about the MBA models that came out late 2010, but about the MBAs that were issued on July 20th, 2011.
I would be very interested to know about using the SSD with the AHCI driver and booting the laptop in EFI mode (both being unresolved issues with the previous MBA model). Of course, I would also like to know about support for the intel HD graphics and the new broadcom wifi/bluetooth chipset, as well as Thunderbolt (but there's a separate thread for that last bit).

Rick Bayless' Mesquite-Smoked Grilled Turkey
Mesquite-smoked grilled turkey with red chile adobo sauce From Rick Bayless "For Christmas or Thanksgiving, a smoked turkey is a great way to go, satisfying the cravings of poultry and smoked ham lovers alike. All you need is a grill and some mesquite chips." Serves 8 1 fresh whole turkey, 12 to 14 pounds 2 gallons plus 1 cup water 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 1 cup salt 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes 6 cloves garlic, crushed 1 bunch fresh marjoram sprigs or 1 tablespoon dried leaf marjoram 1 bunch fresh thyme sprigs or 1 tablespoon dried leaf thyme 10 to 12 bay leaves 1 tablespoon olive oil Red Chile Adobo Sauce (see below) Note: You will need 2 cups of mesquite chips for smoking. To brine the turkey: If the turkey has a metal clamp on its legs, remove it. Remove the giblets and neck from the cavity and reserve for another use. (They can be used for making the broth for the Red Chile Adobo Sauce that follows.) Rinse the bird well and pat dry with paper towels. Place 2 large food-safe plastic bags (we like Reynolds turkey-sized oven bags), one inside the other, in a large, clean, deep dishpan or plastic bucket. Add 1 gallon of the water, the sugar, salt, and pepper flakes, and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Add the remaining 1 gallon water and stir to mix. Place the turkey, breast side down, in the mixture, making sure it is completely immersed in the brine. Squeeze the air out of the bags and tie them securely closed. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to overnight. To set up the grill for indirect cooking: Soak 2 cups mesquite chips in water to cover for at least 30 minutes. Preheat a gas grill to medium-high, or light a fire in a charcoal grill and let it burn just until the coals are covered with gray ash and very hot. When the grill is ready, turn the burner(s) in the center of the gas grill to medium-low, or bank the coals to the sides of the charcoal grill. Add some of the soaked wood chips to the grill (for a gas grill, place them in a smoker box or wrap the chips in foil and poke holes in the foil; for charcoal, place them on the hot coals). For the charcoal grill, set the grill grate in place. To prepare the turkey for the grill: Remove the turkey from the brine, and discard the brine. Pat the turkey thoroughly dry with paper towels. (If you are not cooking the turkey at this point, place it in the outer roasting bag, which should be dry and clean, and store it in the refrigerator.) Rub the turkey cavity with the crushed garlic. Stuff the herbs and bay leaves in the cavity, then tie the legs together with cotton string. Pull the skin over the neck opening and secure with a small skewer. Set the turkey on a roasting rack set inside a heavy-gauge aluminum foil pan. Brush the turkey lightly with the olive oil. To grill the turkey: Set the turkey in the pan on the grill grate away from the fire. Pour the remaining 1 cup water into the pan, and cover the grill. To maintain an even temperature with a charcoal grill, add more coals regularly (usually a few pieces every 30 minutes or so). Keep adding wood chips as desired to give smokiness. Check the turkey periodically. You may want to cover the wing tips and/or the whole turkey to prevent the skin from getting too brown. The turkey is done if when a thigh joint is pierced, the juices run clear, or when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh registers about 155 degrees F. Estimate 12 to 14 minutes per pound, or typically 2 1/2 to 3 hours for a 12- to 14-pound turkey. When the turkey is ready, remove it from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let stand for 15 minutes. (The temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees while the turkey is resting.) Carve the turkey and arrange on a warmed platter. Serve with the warm Red Chile Adobo Sauce and the Jicama- Cranberry Relish. Red chile adobo sauce Makes about 5 cups 1/2 cup vegetable oil 12 medium (about 6 ounces) dried ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded and torn into flat pieces 4 cups hot water 6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 2 teaspoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican) 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (preferably freshly ground) 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (preferably freshly ground) 4 cups chicken or turkey broth (if desired, use the turkey neck and giblets from the grilled turkey for making the broth) Salt 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar For the adobe puree: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the chiles, 1 or 2 pieces at a time, and oil-toast them, turning them once, until they smell very toasty and are blistered, only a few seconds per side. As they are ready, transfer them to a large bowl. When all of the chile pieces are toasted, pour off all but a generous firm of oil from the skillet and set the skillet aside. Add the hot water to the chiles, place a small plate on top to keep the chiles submerged, and let rehydrate for about 20 minutes. Measure the garlic, oregano, pepper, cumin, cloves and vinegar into a blender or food processor. Pour in the rehydrated chiles, liquid and all (do this in two batches if necessary). Process the mixture to a smooth puree. Press through a medium-mesh sieve set over a bowl. To finish the sauce: Set the chile-frying skillet over medium heat. When it is quite hot, add the adobo puree and cook, stirring, until the puree is reduced to the thickness of tomato paste, about 10 minutes. Stir in the broth, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or so. The finished sauce should have a light texture not watery, but just one stage thicker. Season with salt and with the sugar to taste. It should taste a little sweet and sour with a hint of saltiness. Serve warm.

50 - 80
- At 62, switch to Fel Armor.
- From 50+, I'm not sure about a DEFINITE rotation, but you basically want to put all your dots on the mobs you are facing.
- I use a Felguard through these last 30 levels.
My rotation these last few levels(definitely not the best): Immolate, Curse of Agony, Corruption, Drain Life, Drain Soul.
You should probably by now understand what DoTs are and that they are your main damage dealing abilities. So any rotation you feel good with is fine.
NOTE - This build is for leveling, not raids/dungeons, consider respeccing!
Anyhow, if you choose to go with it, the Affliction DPS rotation for 80 instances is: Haunt, Curse of Agony, Corruption, Unstable Affliction, Siphon Life, Shadow Bolt.
I have not seen a good Demonology rotation yet, but keep your ears open.
5. Tips
- Make sure you start with around 10 Soul Shards.
- Give a Soul Stone to one of the healers.
- I could rant on with a ton of stuff, but I'm just going to say, read this.
- Carry 5 - 7 Soul Shards with you at all times. Delete excess stones.
- Don't waste a bag slot on a Soul Bag. You won't ever have enough SS's to worry about it.
- Just heal yourself with Drain Life when you need to heal.
- Bandages help as well.
- Like mentioned in the rotations, keep up Demon Skin/ Demon Armor/ Fel Armor
- Life Tap when low on mana.
- The best options are Skinning/Mining, they make lots of money, especially with the Death Knights wanting to go Blacksmithing.
6. Stats
In the following order: Spell Hit(Until capped) > Spell Power > Spell Haste > Spell Crit > Stamina > Intellect.
There are various opinions on the topic, but most Warlocks I know go generally by this.
7. Gear
Here I will eventually put some gear down you can get while leveling. But for now I don't have the time.
8. Glyphs
Major Glyphs(Thanks kirby for these.)
Glyph of Siphon Life
Glyph of Immolate
Glyph of Corruption
With Glyph of Corruption, when Shadow Trance procs, cast a Shadow Bolt
9. Addons
DoTimer - A handy mod for managing your DoTs and rotation.(thanks to kirby for this aswell)
Necrosis - shard management(since with improved Drain Soul you'll want to get 14% FREE MANA from EVERY MOB YOU FIGHT, who can really pass that up, and who wants to delete all those stupid shards?) it also offers warnings about unfearable mobs, and audible warnings about your soulstone expiring, and nightfall procs, it also makes it a lot easier to keep a healthstone on hand, and as a affliction lock, you'll also likely want to keep a spellstone up now that Wrath made them halfway decent. Also, Necrosis has a DoTimer like feature for tracking how long your dots have left. In my eyes it totally mitigates any need for DoTimer as a lock. - Nicely put, deveyus!

This guide is obviously good and yet a bit old, you refer to getting your free mount at level 30 while mounts have been nerfed to getable at lvl 20. I needed to go to wowwiki aswell to get some other advice and Wowwiki gives Macros for casting rotations. So a good update of the patch present would be nice. Other than that, it's a pretty nice guide, I use the same rotations in Macros from Wowwiki as those said here, and I do use the Talent Points from here because they are the same and the first that I found. =)
Question re: post-59 Warlock talent choices
Submitted by Griezz on Sun, 2009-10-11 09:41.
I don't know if anyone noticed this, but there is a basic flaw with the talent spec proposed for this Warlock Affliction/Demonology leveling build.
Okay, so the Lock starts and runs until 50 as Affliction. No problem.
The 'Lock then respecs to Demonology, so that he can get a Felguard. No problem.
However, there IS a problem with the talents chosen after level 62 (okay, that should be 64, but with the post 3.1 changes, there is only 3 points in Improved Corruption and not 5). All post-62 points are dropped into Destruction talents. However, according to the guide, the basic rotation remains "Immolate, Curse of Agony, Corruption, Drain Life, Drain Soul." Given that only one out of the 5 spells mentioned is Destruction (Immolate), wouldn't it make more sense to feed those points back into Affliction? As such, I submit the following alternative build:
Comments appreciated.

Now where I am at.
Submitted by Barsymes on Fri, 2009-08-28 04:08.
So after a few respecs I have finally settled on full affliction. After reading multiple guides on leveling a warlock, I have found the following method to be the best for quest-grinding/leveling. (Note: I do not recommend respec'ing demo for felguard)
I am currently level 68 and pretty much totally spec'd in affliction. This is probably not necessary. Basically you could just spec affliction until you get Haunt, then dump the rest of your points into demo if you want.
Other notes: My impression is that the following strategy is basically what most people refer to as Drain Tanking. I cannot attest to efficiency of this strategy without first having Haunt. So until you are high enough level to spec to the point of getting Haunt, I recommend just sending in that Voidwalker, DoT'ing up the MOB, wanding down to 25% and casting Drain Soul (make sure to spec Improved Drain Soul to get 14% mana back, primary source of mana regen) Against multiple MOB's, just send in VW, DoT up all the MOB, wand and Drain Soul what you can.
Warlock vs. Single Mob cast rotation:
Macro(pet attack and cast Haunt)->Unstable Affliction->Corruption->Curse of Agony, then
Life Tap->Drain Life until dead
(Note: This should leave you with full life and mana; and this burn down a single mob very fast)
Warlock vs. Multiple Mobs cast rotation:
Step 1: Macro (pet attack and cast Haunt)->Unstable Affliction->Corruption->Curse of Agony then Life tap and tab to next mob
On 2nd Mob: (note: Haunt is still on Cool Down) so start with Unstable Affliction->Corruption->Curse of Agony
On 3rd Mob: Repeat 1st step, but skip life tap and drain life (basically Haunt + 3 DoT's)
Rinse and repeat until last Mob (Haunting when you can)
Notes for multiple mobs:
1. I usually life drain last mob.
2. Cast Haunt when you can as this is your life source.
3. If only two mobs then you can simple use Step 1 twice (kill one at a time, seems to be more efficient)
4. Don't forget you can Dark Pact if mana runs low as Life Tapping too much with multiple Mobs wacking on you will get you killed.
5. I usually keep Felhunter out for the buffs and serves as a good mana battery. I'll leave it up to you what abilities to turn off.
Warlock vs. Elite Mobs:
This is where I am still figuring things out, but my strategy right now is as follows:
1. Macro (petattack and cast Haunt)->Unstable Affliction->Corruption->Curse of Agony
2. Then Life Tap->the keep casting Drain Life.
3. As soon as Haunt burns out, recast Haunt + the above 3 DOT's.
4. Repeat cast Drain Life until Haunt burns out.
5. Repeat Steps 3/4 until dead, using Potions/Life Stones as needed.
The reason I am posting this is to give people something to think about when they turn 50. I tried the felguaurd out and was pretty unhappy. I am burning mobs down faster than ever with the above strategy.
However, if anyone sees any flaws or can recommend any improvement to the above strategies, please post.
Thank you James and gang for the awesome guides and thank you to the poster below with all the cool macro ideas.
Keep up the good work!

Iv been following these guides since i came back to wow, and they are great but there a few ways u can play ur lock, if u feel like reading heres mine. IN ADVANCE I DIDNT SPELL CHECK AND THS IS BEING WRITEN AT 3 AM.
Full affliction
Basically istead of swapping to demo i stay affliction and have no complaints at all. I follow the quests and grind on the way to the quest and in the areas i can easily drain tank around 2 to 3 mobs my level while side strafing and still finish my objectives.
Some tips.. at the moment i only use 4 spells in my rotation but im at around 800 spellpower or soo at lvl 66 so u may need more but.
first skill = macro
#showtooltil Dark Pact
/use [mod:alt]Life Tap;[nomod:alt]Dark Pact
*easy macro all locks need something like this basicaly if u click it ul dark pact and take ur imp mana, but if u hold shift and click it ull life tap
this one is really handy and give u versitility specially if ur using Glyph of Life Tap to get bonus SP from ur spirit
same macro if ur lazy or maybe u dont wanna bother with ALT
#showtooltip Dark Pact
/castsequence Dark Pact, Dark Pact, Dark Pact, Life Tap, Life Tap
*same thing but this time u Dark Pact 3 times then Life Tap twice, u have to keep presing it. This one is less complicated but u dont have a choice u have to follow hte sequence.
Next The Bread And Butter
#showtooltip Unstable Affliction
/use 13
/use 14
/castsequence reset=target/combat/5 Unstable Affliction, Curse of Agony,
*Ok so this casts Unstable Affliction then Curse of Agony, also uses ur trinkets get rid of that if u have a trinket to get outa stun or something i have it in mine cuase i have SP trinkets in there.
!You can swap Curse of Agony for any other instance cast u feel like
The reason i have it there is simple when u cast UA its 1.5 second cast so 1 second in your global coldown is done meaning that as soon as ur AU is cast u can cast CoA right away. There is a guide somewhere on this site about the half of second before u finsih u cast where u can cast a new spell and becuase of the time it takes the server to recieve the info u dont interupt AU, but u have to get good at it
AWESOME u have 2 DOTS on ur target in 2 seconds
Now i use
#showtooltip Haunt
/use 13
/use 14
/castsequence reset=target/combat/5 Haunt, Corruption
*Same idea u use ur SP trinkets in u have them if u dont u take /use 13 and /use 14 out, then u cast Haunt then u cast Corruption.
!Again Haunt is 1.5 second cast so again 1 second in you global cd is done and u can instanly cast Corruption.
Now from here, for me atleast my mob is dead in a few seconds, but if u dont got the spell power this is were u trow in ur own rotation.
#showtooltip Drain Life
/use [mod:alt]Drain Soul;[nomod:alt]Drain Life
*simple macro press it, u use Drain Life, press it while holding ALT, u use Drain Soul
OK! From there you have the basics of some decent macros, just sub ur own spells.
Just for fun here are some i use in pvp as well.
#showtooltip Curse of Tongues
/castsequence Curse of Tongues, Arcane Torrent, Drain Mana
*Unfortunatly i rolled a BE, but im makin the best of it, This is an anticaster macro,
!It stops wat ur casting, puts Curse of Tongues on the caster, slowing down his spells hopefully give u enough time to run up and use Arcane Torrent, then to be a real mean guy you Drain Mana and dance beside him before u fear and kill him.
And of course for those of you who dontof just have your Succubus out to look at.
/cast [pet:succubus] Seduction
Glyphs I use and will use.
Glyph of Life Tap!!!!
Glyph of Curse of Agony
Glyph of Haunt
Minor Glyph of Enslave = hey just cuase im afflict doesnt mean i dont like seeing badass demons follow me once in a while
Hope This Helps, cuase these guides helped me out alot.
SORRY FOR HOW LONG AND POORLY WRITEN THIS IS BUT HEY I DIDNT MAKE U READ IT.... did i?
Where I am at right now
Submitted by Barsymes on Wed, 2009-07-29 00:57.
Firstly, this guide has been really great. However, I respec'd to Demo at 50, got my felguard and was pretty disappointed no longer having Improved Drain Soul which I was using to keep from OOM. Without this, I found after sending felguard in and stacking dot's I was OOM pretty fast. So I respec'd back to Affliction.
Currently my standard rotation for single MOB is Pet attack/Immolate (macro), Curse of Agony, Corruption, then wanding MOB to 25%, then drain soul...oh yeah, and I'm using VW cuz it can take the hits with adds. This is really mana efficient, and I can kill mobs pretty nonstop.
My plan is to do this until 57, which will then allow me to put the 40 points into Demo (for felguard) and leave me 7 points to get me Improved drain soul.
Does this sound good? Or is there a better, more mana effiecient way to grind out single MOBs, any advice would be great as I am clearly a Noob.
Submitted by asphyxiateDrake on Tue, 2009-08-04 22:47.
I'm starting a 'lock for the first time and although this guide seems to be a goldmine of information to help me, Barsymes' comment was helpful for me. It makes sense to keep affliction for improved soul drain, 14% mana can be really helpful! I'm going to keep affliction for this reason too. Also, your note on your rotation helped me because it made me realize macroing immolate with pet attacking would be more quick than what i've been doing currently.
Submitted by Crimie on Sun, 2009-06-07 12:15.
I leveled my warlock as demo as well through outland, but when i reached northrend, the destruction spec, works far better. Through the replenishment proc you dont really go oom and the mobs just drop quicker. The chaosbolt does 4k crits at level 70, which is just less than 50% of the mobs health points than casting immolate and incinerate generally kills the mob. If its especially hardy just throwm in conflagrate and he is dead for sure.
Hybrid Leveling Afflic/Demo
Submitted by Spartan0510 on Wed, 2009-05-20 22:06.
Currently my lvl 24 lock is a hybrid spec (7/8/0) with points in Demo focusing on improving the VW while the rest of my points are going into Afflic. Is this minor hybrid spec worth it at this level? After all, my VW holds aggro much better and we both have more health and my damaging spells heal him. Or is going full Afflic better at this point? This would have my VW's tanking abilities decrease while my own abilities to kill faster increase.
I'm going your way Sparta. I

I'm going your way Sparta.
I noticed the same benefits too and it suits my cautious gamestyle to have improved VW.
Just my 5 cents.
Just for convinence purposes...
Submitted by monolith on Fri, 2009-04-17 08:50.
If you wanted to send in your minion without having to click [shift+x+alt+home+esc+whatever...], make a macro with the like /petattack (if memory serves to purpose, but i'll edit that later if i'm wrong...); that way, instead of trying to confuse your fingers with the command or having to move the mouse or whatever you'll be able to send in your minion without breaking stride. It's also useful should multiple mobs come hacking your way.
For example, i have a Blood Elf Warlock i use with a friend of mine who's a Paladin. She doesn't often notice when she's being pummeled by multiple mobs, so i can use a void walker to pull them off her while she doesn't spend all of her mana trying to heal...

Submitted by Elmo23 on Wed, 2009-04-01 08:30.
Yes it does.
I just use shard for it tough.
Its a lightweight addon that just manages shards and nothing else.
Also, what caught my eye with it :
in game, when i level i want 6 shards, but soon as we start a dungeon, i want more .
With my addon, i just type /shard xxx where xxx stands for the number i want.
It will auto delete all shards over that number, or set to the new number.
Easy, light and fast.
Only thing i would like more is a way to put the shards in a preference bag, but that would give a higher load ( i like all my shards in the top 6 slots of my second bag from the left, just to keep things organised).

Submitted by monolith on Fri, 2009-03-27 04:09.
Doesn't it cost more gold per every respec you do. In other words, think maybe you should add the cost of how much it's going to be to respec at level 50?
Just curious...
respeccing cost.
Submitted by Elmo23 on Fri, 2009-03-27 09:18.
It does cost more per respec up to a max of 50 gold per time.
every month or so you go without respeccing the cost will lower in segments again to.
So if you dont respec long enough, it will be back to 3 gold i think ( cost of first respec )
The level you are when you are respeccing has no influence on the cost. Just the number of respecs you do, up to a maximum of 50 per respec
RE: repeccing cost.
Submitted by lunargecko on Fri, 2009-03-27 09:25.
Respecs will originally cost 1g, then 5g, 10g, 15g, and so on until the maxiumum of 50g is reached. Each month you go without a respec, the cost will drop by 5g to a minimum of 5g. I hope that clears things up.

I am a level 68 undead lock and have to admit I am still confused as to how to work her- LOL! I have read so much during the time I have been leveling and still dont feel I am getting the most I can out of her. At this point my build is 52/0/7 and I use a void the most. I am really trying to understand the talent tree and what is the best for me. I basically solo but do join others from my guild from time to time for instances, dungeons, etc. Do I need to respec at this time? When do I get a chance for the next minion? Any advice would be greatly appreciated =)
Thank you!
leveling and respeccing
Submitted by Elmo23 on Sun, 2009-03-08 10:56.
no need to respec.
For leveling you go the most damage you can, wich means demon or affliction.
Both will do great in instances.
No new pets, felguard is the last one. IF you spec demo lock.

While leveling you certainly
Submitted by Jahwo on Sat, 2009-03-07 12:58.
While leveling you certainly should not waste your money on respeccing every time you visit an instance or join a group. Especially as a pure damage dealer its not that important what build you have in instances, as long as you have a healer and a tank in your group.
And as far as I know you won't get a new minion after level 60

I am currently 70, and am a hard core supporter of the Aff-lock build. I found a very helpful macro courtesy of wowwiki, and i think it should still be viable. I think I have worn the paint of the 1 and 2 keys with these.
10-24: pet VW
/petattack [nocombat]
/castsequence reset=target/combat Immolate, Curse of Agony, Corruption
26-39: pet VW
macro 1. /pet attack[nocombat]
/castsequence reset=target/combat Immolate, Siphon Life, Curse of Agony, Corruption
macro 2. /castsequence reset=target/combat Life Tap, Drain Life
40 and up: FelHunter or Imp (with imp, remove /pet attack)
Mac 1. /petattack [nocombat]
/castsequence reset=target/combat siphon life, Curse of Agony, Corruption
Mac 2. /castsequence reset=target/combat Dark Pact, Drain Life
level 50 is the major decision, demo or aff. If you stay aff, pick up unstable aff and throw it in front, between combat and siphon life.

Void or not...i replaced void for a felhunter
Submitted by JaoAsun on Thu, 2009-02-05 15:35.
Good guide to start with...lots of good reading for ppl who dont know all about leveling a lock there is to know.
Nice to see the discussion about the usage of voidwalkers again I've leveled my affliction lock with a voidwalker up to lv 75 until i found it a felhunter will do the job as well and faster!
Oke, a void is more powerful when it comes to tanking 3+ mobs, but i can manage with my felhunter as well. Key to this is having lots and lots of spirit (next to lots of stamina off course). With a lot of spirit and Fel Armor online you will do much more dmg and will heal much more as well. This will compensate for the fact the mob will start hitting you soon into a fight.
To handle 3+ mobs you sent in your felhunter on one, and heal it a bit when needed. Siphon all mobs youre not directly engaging so you start building up a steady stream of life (this way you can handle the beating you are now getting from at least 3-5 mobs). Keep concentrating on killing one mob at a time, use haunt first when switching to a new mob when current target is dead. Hence repeat and you'll end up with almost full life, 3+ dead mobs and a felhunter who should be at 70%+ health.
Rotation i use most often: send in felhunter, start haunt when felhunter makes contact, curse of agony, corruption, siphon, mana tap and drain life (or dont mana tap and drain life but drain soul instead when in need of extra mana and/or soul stone)
As you can see i dont use immolation. Only using immolation and other dot's for boss fights.
Leveling a lock
Submitted by Holyterror on Tue, 2009-02-03 19:27.
I have a level 80 lock and found it very easy, fun, and fast to level. I leveled Demon because I liked to have bad ass pet, but I repecced to Afflic at level 74 and found leveling much faster. If I were to start again I would go 1-80 with Afflic Spec. The KEY is to get out of the 1 mob per kill mentality. Locks are TOO powerful!
Demon: Send Pet, CoA, Corrupt, lifetap, drain life, send pet to new target and repeat. The first one usually follows/attacks pet and if not will drop in a few seconds anyway so ignore. After 3-4 mobs if you have done this correctly (not hard and no uber gear needed) you always end with near full health and mana.
Pet: big blue until felguard (if you pull mobs off pet your using too many spells; let the DoTs work!
Afflic: Pet, CoA, Corrupt, Siphon Life, Dark Pact, Pet-->new target, Siphon Life, CoA, Cor, Dark Pact(or Life Tap if pet's mana is low), repeat SL,CoA,Cor,DP on every mob u can as fast as possible and ignore them beating on u...SL will keep your health up. If healths drops a little, then you can add a drain life but rarely will you need.
Pet: Imp until felhunter
Demon: tanking pet, can kill elits 2-3 levels higher
Afflic: Faster leveling, pets dps
Check out my spec...not PERFECT but great for leveling.

To Voidwalker or not to Voidwalker
Submitted by Crazy8s on Tue, 2009-02-03 03:56.
Ok - first off, thanks for the lock guide. I've been looking all over for something with substance that I can use to level my lock (had not played my poor lock much because I wasn't confident about where to place my talent points). And then blammo! Here it is. Personally, I feel good about the talent spec - makes sense to me (although I'm no expert) and I'm certainly seeing a difference in downtime and kill speed.
Right, so here is my problem - you suggest succubus or imp from lvl 20-39 and then felhunter or imp lvl 40-49. I can't keep the bad guys off me with these pets, so I keep going back to voidwalker.
Do you have any advise on how to best use the various pets in combat? I feel like I'm missing out by just falling back to my now exhasted voidwalker. LOL
Submitted by Elmo23 on Tue, 2009-02-03 15:23.
hehe, i know how you feel.
Simply put, until you get the felguard ( big axy dude ) you will most likely keep using the void in most cases.
My succubis imp and felhunter have seen the light of day for only a few hours each.
Voidy : When running solo against nn magic targets. He rules here.
IMP : only in the beginning and group runs for the buff. OR when you use dark pact ( mana battery ) and even then only in groups AS an affliction lock.
Succubus : only really usable in dungeons where you need extra crowd control. virtually no other pvp use.
Fellhunter : since the last patch, a better mana battery then the imp ( again affl. Lock with dark pact ). Almost the same dps.
VERY handy in pvp, especially vs selfbuffing and debuffing magic users. Quite nice buff for groups to. I would even say better then the imp. Depends on group and preference tough.
Fellguard : outdamages every other pet and can tank / hold agro almost as good as the void ( is more like a succubus damage dealer combined with void armor and a slightly less powerfull theat generation ) all in GREAT for going solo.
As an affliction lock myself now ( after i hit 78 ) and previous a demo fanboy :
Void when you : Play Solo, Do not have fellguard, are not fighting nasty casters all around, are not in pvp.
Otherwise : Felguard ( replaces void when you get it )
Otherwise : Fellhunter : PVP affliction desto and against casters. Or in groups
IMP : in groups depending on melee fighters.
Succubus : PVP aff and desto and dungeons for corwd control.
hope to have made your warlocking life better
p.s. tough i hate sending people away from this site, wowmb.net is a forum dedicated to locks. Great warlock intel there. Wont help you level tough For leveling help you want to be here.

Fellow Warlocks, some questions for you.
Submitted by Benhir on Fri, 2009-01-30 21:11.
Having read this guide, I went back to my Warlock (an undead on thunderhorn EU) who was at level 22 and I did the Succubus quest. It was quite a long but easy journey that lead me at some thoughts.
(sorry for the annoying foreword but I'm coming to the point)
Is this class the most quicker to level? Class' quest take a long time, you have one less bag due to the soul bag (but here comes the hunter's arrow bag) and if you run out of soul shards you have to spend time with the imp to gather some SS This can make up a lot of "wasted" played time. Having seen a lot of screenshots and reports about Locks being able to literaly own the /played time , I wonder how the hell can a class with those losses of time be so fast. I'm leveling has demonology at the moment and probably I will see the real "lock power" when I get the Felguard, but I think that some kind of "proof" can be pleasing for me. I'm sorry for the grammar but I'm kinda tired at the moment

Hi Benhir.
In reply to your question, I've got a lvl 75 Lock & imo it's the most fun class to play. I've found levelling a breeze using Jame's guides.
I personally don't bother with a soul bag. I don't tend to use a lot of soul shards. I keep approx 4-5 & just get a few more when needed. I don't have any down time as I just use life tap when ever needed. Just a case of finding the correct balance with your dots & drain life. It took me some experimenting but once you've got it PVE is pretty simple. I did level as Demonology until 70 & then respecced to Affliction. Soz I can't remember the rotation I used in the early stages.

This guide is a bit biased

This guide is a bit biased towards affliction. To make this guide great it needs to be impartial. Demonology is probably a better leveling spec after you get your fel-guard. Best way around all of this is to have a little section on all three specs and what is good and bad about them as well as suggested talent builds. This is a warlcok leveling guide in my opinion and the titel is a touch misleading. Either expand on this or alter the title, most people tend to come searching for guide either very early on (level 1?) or very late on (level 80 ) and this is very much a guide to leveling as affliction more than anything else. Title should be clearer.
For example all specs have plus points and minus points o.O
Affliction: Slow to kill stuff but very little downtime. Decent survivability.
Demonology: Kills stuff moderately fast and has good survivability. Some downtime. (The compromise spec imo.)
Destruction: Poor survivability, terrible downtime, kill stuff insanely fast. Can be decent for leveling in excellent gear (70-80).
So you're better off giving people the facts and then letting them come to their own decision. A good guide should inform not try to push a personal opinion.
Nice for what it is but needs more.

I think you took his comment wrong, he didn't mean it in a bad way. He was just suggesting something.

With every new season of The Walking Dead, I hope to the television gods that the show's producers and writers will have learned some lessons from their past mistakes. Sometimes they seem to, but more often than not just the opposite appears to be true. With Season 7, all the show's worst habits became more entrenched than ever before, ...

HBO's Game of Thrones, based on the book by George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones is a brilliant adaptation of the book. This series starts off with a trip into the frozen north, north of the Wall. Where we get a glimpse of things to come, and by things to come, I mean a lot of death. By no means does this series pull any punches. Mostly filmed in a studio, this beautifully directed series has many things going for it. First off is the cast, people as brilliant as Sean Bean, whom you probably know as Boromir from the Lord of the Rings movies, or Partridge in Equilibrium. Others include Michelle Fairley, Lena Headey, Mark Addy and Peter Dinklage. Peter Dinklage who plays Tyrion Lannister, is someone youre going to not only see a lot of, but grow to kind of admire. Youll see why hes been nominated so many times for Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series....

Hey guys,
I'm having Timelapse show "paused" on the recording screen after about twelve hours of recording. I am trying to do a 21-day time-lapse of seed sprouting, and the application starts out working, then later in the day I will come back and it will show "paused". I have airplane mode turned on and do not disturb. I can go to home screen then back to time-lapse and the screen will show "running after interruption" but I can't figure out what is causing it pause. I don't have the lock screen option on.
I am using iPhone 5 with latest Timelapse.

RAWWWWWWR! Kimmy Cakes Goes Halloween Shopping And Puts Her Tig Ole' Bitties On Display In Naughty Kitty Cat Costume [Photos]
What should Yeezy be?
Kim is getting ready for Halloween! The reality slore almost bared all her assets as she tried on a costume while shopping on recently.
Kim Kardashian used Twitter to share a photo of herself shopping for a Halloween costume on Sarurday. While the costume is certainly daring, we have a feeling her boo-thang Yeezy loves it!
"Rawwwr!!! Halloween Costume shopping," Kim tweeted on Oct. 13. On fan said, "mad fu**in' cute bitch you better work!" And another said, "risqué!" Seeing how Kim filed for divorce from Kris Humphries on Halloween in 2011, we're sure Kim will do anything to forget the one-year anniversary.
Are you feeling Kimmy Cakes' potential Halloween costume? What do you think Kim and Yeezy should be for Halloween?
Check out more costumes from Kimmy next…
