City man popped doing 134 mph down I-293
Wagner said Daniel Pirok, 34, was inebriated when police began a chase near the Mall of New Hampshire about 2 a.m. Thursday that didn't end until Pirok was in Bedford. He was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance.
Wagner said police obtained a search warrant and found a loaded handgun, cocaine, a "large sum of money," an AK-47 rifle and an AR-15 rifle.
He said Pirok had a permit to carry the handgun. He said Pirok had two high-capacity clips for the rifles. The clips were filled with bullets, but not loaded into the weapons, he said.
Wagner said police obtained a warrant to search Pirok's home, where police found scales, plastic bags, a small amount of cocaine, 30 unidentified pills and $6,000 in cash.
Pirok was being held Thursday at Valley Street jail in Manchester.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota State Fair plans to limit open air smoking on its 320-acre property beginning this year.
Smoking has already been prohibited in fair buildings and in entertainment seating areas, such as the grandstand. Smokers could light up in any other outdoor spaces — until now.

Mathew D. Groves is suggesting the talk:
"Don't be afraid of NoSQL: An Introduction to db4o"
for the next CodeStock that will take place in June 25/26, 2010 on Knoxville, TN.
You can vote for it and register right now!
This is the abstract: "Object databases like db4o are used widely and have all been a part of the recent "NoSQL" meme that is garnering some interest in the .NET world. db4o has been around since 2000, but has just recently achieved excellent support for .NET and Linq. This session will give you a brief code-focused introduction on the basics of db4o, and it will also attempt to address any trepidations and concerns that you might have as a longtime relational database user about db4o and object databases in general."

Reader Comments (Page 2 of 2)
I couldn't agree more with the comments from other tanks. I too was a raid tank in Wrath and retired my paladin (arguably the easiest Cata tank class), not because its too hard, or challenging, or even because its not fun. I retired because of the horrible attitude of players in the LFD. I will only tank for guild runs now as well. I second all of the previous posters frustrations. The simple matter is we are all learning mechanics, and a tank miss on a mechanic means everyone wipes. DPS miss on a mechanic means little, sometimes they die, generally not a wipe. I feel for healers as they get a lot of the same problem. Not much call for my Holy/Prot paladin.
The game mechanics have changed to the point good solid players generally are not willing to sacrifice and hour or two to deal with the garbage and run guild runs only. Sure there are exceptions but the good players are done with LFD and what is left are mostly irritable soloists who have nothing better to do than make snide remarks and ruin your game play time. You just simply get so much more rewards and gratification doing a guild run. Fixing this isnt as easy as a grab bag.
Team work, patience and good character come from your guild or friends list, not from the anonymous random dungeon finder. It worked in wrath because the above 3 traits were not needed to accomplish the task. It simply does not work well now.
If I may make a counter argument. I agree that tanks get a bad rep for the stupidest of crap; however, I've also known tanks who were absolute gods at holding aggro and staying alive. Tanks who did not need healing from the healer even on heroic fights. Tanks who have solo'ed a solid 40% of a bosses health. These tanks weren't even using the high end raid gear. Tanks who have challenged the DPS to pull aggro and won every time. Tanks who enter a dungeon prepared and actually go after checking the healer has mana. I've even known one to accomplish this all in the same run.
So while **** does happen and peoples expectations are skewed. I have seen where these expectations can come from. Your opinions are valid but please remember just because there are a lot of jerky DPS it doesn't mean every tank is bringing their "A" game.
That being said I hope the DPS get some kind of reward from this as well.
Grovinofdarkhour said...
News flash: tanking is not for everyone. Duh. If it were, there wouldn't be a shortage.
The idea that somehow Blizzard is "obligated" to expend any and all available resources trying to make sure tanking is equally as fun for everybody as DPSing is totally misguided, and indicative of an entitlement mentality.
If this is how they want to fix the shortage, it sounds good to me. Let's see how it goes.
Grovinofdarkhour said...
I should have specified that the above was in response to ENOUGH!'s "see look Blizz admits they failed" post.
I know. And that's the problem. Because you and I both know they're going to try. They're going to wipe the group. They're going to spew bile at the healer and probably try to kick the healer (and there's a good chance the kick will succeed. I've seen healers kicked for all kinds of horrible reasons, including one who AFK'd because her kid was crying and the tank ran in and pulled the boss anyway.) Or they're going to throw a tantrum and drop group, leaving the group to slowly dissolve because they don't want to wait for another tank. Or they're going to refuse to leave and get deserter, forcing us to disband unless we want to wipe over and over.
Bribes are not the way to get good, solid, well geared tanks. It's the way to attract the "gimme gimme" crowd who thinks tanking is easy and a quick spec hop is all they need to get sweet, sweet rewards.
Call me a pessimist, but I already see enough of this going on and the only reward for tanking right now is an instant queue. When you can get extra gold and goodies, it's going to attract the wrong kinds of tanks. It's going to create a lot more unpleasantness in the dungeon finder than there currently is. I really wonder if they thought this through at all.
jrblackyear said...
I agree with most comments here that attitude is a big problem in LFD groups, and one of the main reasons why tanks/healers don't queue as frequently as DPS. Seriously, folks, what happened to manners and respect, logic and reason, kindness and support? These are the characteristics of quality WoW players, skill really has nothing to do with it. I've run with DPS of all sorts, and the percentage of "gogogo, I want lewtz" players is astounding. Just last night, while healing a random heroic, the hunter in the group was determined to spend as LITTLE time in the instance as possible: pulling trash before the group was ready, MD'ing onto the tank to save his own ass. People like that don't get my heals, and as soon I'm able, I vote-to-kick. It shocks me that common courtesy has gone the way of the dodo, because you would think that in a social, community-focused game, people would be supportive and respectful to everyone else. I for one will continue queuing for heroics, if only to stick it to the douche-bag players who think that they are all that, that they deserve fast loot because they were stuck in a queue for 45 minutes.
Now, that's not to say that tanks and healers NEVER act out, because they do. Maybe it's just that the chances are higher for DPS players because there are 3 DPS slots to every LFD group, I don't know for sure. I do know that people need to smarten up and act like human beings again because it would suck if these actions started to make their way into the real-world. More so than they already have, anyway ;)

My point of view regarding this thread:
- This is a good measure. More so if assigning the call to arms is done in an automated way, with completely objective criteria, as it appears to be, because the measure will turn itself off as soon as the role imbalance problem is corrected. But, of course, it's not a definitive way to solve the problem; more work needs to be done to draw players to tanking and healing roles.
- Tanking PUGs is a thankless job right now. PUG failure rates seem to be still to high, and the tank gets blamed for almost everything (the healer gets blamed for the rest). This, more than anything else, needs to change: if making the players more forgiving of the tank is not an option, devise a way to measure player skill and bar those that don't attain whichever skill level should be needed for Heroics from queuing for random heroics at all; better success rates, less errors, less blame flung on healers and tanks.
- Dungeons have one fairly bad problem: with a few rare exceptions, anyone's failures means the tank dies, either because some attack that should have been interrupted one-shots the tank, or because failing means the group takes more damage, making the healer go OOM and, thus, killing the tank though lack of heals.
Instead, dungeons should make the failing player die or, at least, suffer; 10s stun for not avoiding a boss charge, an incurable stacking debuff for standing on the fire, bosses that aim their interruptable skills at DPSers (in special those that have short cooldown, off the GCD interrupts) instead of tanks, and so on. Make the tank and healer suffer less for having fail DPSers on the group, and bad DPSers suffer more. That ought to balance things a bit.
Loop: if I counter an argument about something with the same argument, I am not arguing, FYI. It's called agreeing and illustrating the point.
My big problem with this is that hardcore raiders likely don't give a crap about pets or mounts that aren't raid achievement awards. THOSE I see being shown off. Flasks, meh. Gold, meh.
So the incentive for the great tanks is not worth it. Add to the fact that I can't queue with any guildies and I see no reason to go and most tanks won't be willing to waste 30 minutes only to have a wipe end in a disbanded run.
The amount of comments.
Holy S**t!
"We had briefly considered Valor Points and epics, but decided that wouldn't be working toward the goal of helping DPS players progress, and ultimately wouldn't keep tanks and healers in the Dungeon Finder system for very long. "
Yup. I have a Death Knight, Druid, and Paladin. Tanking on the Paladin and Death Knight is fun and engaging. They have strong threat and a good toolkit. I enjoy tanking on them. The Druid I tanked for short queues, got my gear ready to raid, and stopped.
With these changes, Blizz just got 3 more tanks to queue per day. Nicely done. (My Druid is the pet/mount collector.)

Tex vs 2 ply Gortex vs 2 ply Ultrex
I am trying to find a material that is about the weight of Paclite for a waterproof jacket. The thickness of the material in a Marmot Precip would be about right too. I am looking for the lightest material that has some abrasion resistance. By that I mean continual bush wacking may cause the odd tear that can be repaired but it wouldn't fall apart like Dri Ducks.This site has something called Tex and Ultrex http://seattlefabrics.com/samples.html#OuterwearThis site has 2 ply Gortex http://www.owfinc.com/Fabrics/NylonWoven/WaterresistBreathable.asp#UltrexAnd this site lists something called LT.

AWeber Email Marketing Tips
Scholarship Opportunity: Teens On Communication
We're constantly pushing to be on the edge of upcoming technology and upcoming trends. So we have an active interest in upcoming generations.
We want to help them get where they're headed. We also want to know what they think – especially about email and other communication technologies. So we're offering a scholarship.
What We're Trying To Foster
Technology is developing the world over at quantum speed, it would seem. As it does, communication evolves. These are important issues that impact all of us.
Every generation has its share of bright, creative minds. We want to encourage these minds to think critically about these developments, and to perhaps even spark interest in related fields.
What We Hope To Discover
Today's teens have grown up in a different world than older generations. Their perspective on communication is going to impact the future of communication technology. And, like we said, we like to be aware of what's coming up – and of course, share the information here.
To that end, scholarship applicants will answer:
1. How have communication tools and habits changed from your parents' generation, compared to yours? Has this been a positive, negative or neutral change, and why?
2. How do you think communication tools and habits will change for your children? Will this be a positive, negative or neutral change, and why?
So Share This With College-Bound Friends
All outside-the-box, change-the-round-hole-to-fit-the-square-peg thinkers are encouraged to apply. If you know any of those, let them know.
Now, Let's Have Some Fun
We'll find out what teens think when we get their applications in, but for now, how do you think we'll communicate 50 years in the future?
Here, we'll go first.
We think we'll read emails on a Matrix-style projection, and we'll send them with a swish of our fingers.
Your turn.

I predict 50 years from now we'll have the ability to communicate through telepathy, and eye glasses will come equipped with all of the information that you would need to know about someone that you are talking to. I'm a quantum physics guy… these are my thoughts lol.2/10/2013 12:30 am

Icahn Enterprises L.P.
Strong Consumer Goods Companies for Your Portfolio
By Usman Ghani - August 17, 2013 | Tickers: HAR, IEP, OSK
The consumer goods sector has been one of the least volatile sectors in 2013. This sector, contrary to popular belief, is not just made up of defensive stocks that represent laid back companies. Many companies in this sector have seen attractive upswings in their prices in recent months. Among these companies, I was particularly interested in exploring Harman International Industries (NYSE: HAR), Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ: IEP) and Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSKmore »)
Why Apple Needs to Keep Carl Icahn at Bay
By Mark Hibben - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, IEP, MSFT
Carl Icahn has launched a new crusade to relieve Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) of some of its excess, and unused, cash. After tweeting that he had taken a "large" position in Apple, Apple's stock price jumped above $500 the following day. Should Apple investors be happy? That depends on your investment time frame. In the short term, Icahn's interest in Apple pumps up the stock price, but in the more »
Apple Buyback
By Mark Morelli - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, IEP, WMT
Talk about a reversal of fortune. Over the course of six months (Sept. 2012 to April 2013) the price of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock had fallen from $705 to $385 a share. Since then it has changed course and risen to about $500.
I believe that occurred for two main reasons:
1. The company is returning more value to shareholders through buybacks and dividends.
2. The market is anticipating the more »
Is This Bidding War About to End?
By Mike Thiessen - August 12, 2013 | Tickers: DELL, HPQ, IEP
After months of conflicting reports and vitriolic wrangling, there may finally be a resolution to the blockbuster bidding war over Round Rock, Texas-based Dell (NASDAQ: DELL). According to a recent announcement, Dell's legendary founder has raised his offer for the struggling company by adding a special dividend to the mix.
Although the deal's offer price had already been bumped up to $13.75 per share, the inclusion of more »
Can Michael Dell Win Against Carl Icahn?

You can tell that things are getting serious if Carl Icahn is suing Michael Dell. Who'd have thought the two would transition their battle from the board room to the court room. Michael Dell wants to move the date for when a vote by a shareholder is counted to Feb. 5, 2013. This is the cut-off date for shareholder privileges to vote for or against the Michel Dell takeover more »
3 Reasons to Consider Buying This Controversial Tech Stock

Poor Ideas From a Known Investor

Sometimes, truth takes some time to emerge.

Dell Buyout at $13.65 Not Guaranteed
By Alexander Cho - July 18, 2013 | Tickers: DELL, HPQ, IEP
Carl Icahn seems to be at it again, but this time, the man seems to have more of a practical strategy. With the financing issue settled, the Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) board of directors found the special dividend proposal to be largely unappealing. So the Dell board is telling investors to vote in favor of Michael Dell's proposal of taking the company private at $13.65.

Icahn's Big Stake Could Bode Well for Regular Investors

Although Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) has endured a rough two-year period that has seen its shares under-perform the broader market by a significant margin, the company is widely regarded as one of the mid-continent's stronger natural gas players.

These Under the Radar MLPs May Be Hidden Gems
By Bob Ciura - June 7, 2013 | Tickers: IEP, STON, TNH
Income-seeking investors have few suitable places to put their money these days. Sure, there are dividend stocks and bonds, but with markets rising, yields remain punishingly low. There's been talk of Fed tapering off its long-held policy of historically low interest rates and aggressive bond buying, but interest rates won't skyrocket overnight.
All of this means that investors need to find new places to produce yield. One corner more »
What Will Come Out of the Battle for Dell?
By Mike Thiessen - June 6, 2013 | Tickers: DELL, IEP, BX
Since many seasoned market-watchers were skeptical about the plausibility of the original buyout proposal from the alliance between Silver Lake Capital and Michael Dell, it should come as no surprise that Carl Icahn and other parties have rallied to oppose the deal. However, the fluid situation in which big-name computer manufacturer Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) finds itself has surprised even the most hardened observers.

2 Dividend Paying Must-Haves, 1 to Keep an Eye On
By Ken McGaha - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: TEU, IEP, MAIN
Most investors with whom I speak on a regular basis tend to think of investing for dividend income as something where they can place their money, collect regular dividends, and not worry about it. While that is true in many cases, economic cycles and business conditions must be actively monitored to avoid capital losses. I have found two excellent examples of the first scenario and one of the second that more »

Investors are hearing a lot about Carl Icahn himself these days, but his company continues to fly under the radar. Despite boasting strong financials, a healthy dividend, a diversified asset portfolio and a strong fiscal outlook, Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ: IEP) simply does not attract value investors' attention in the way that many other investment-focused conglomerates do.
In fact, Icahn Enterprises is rarely mentioned in the same breath as a similar more »

Besides, he mostly manages to wriggle his way into favor. Nuance more »

Industrialist behind bars in case against Jagan
Hyderabad, May 16 (IANS) High flying Andhra Pradesh industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad has been arrested for alleged benefits received during the rule of late chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy in return for the massive investments he made in his son's businesses.
Prasad, popularly known as Matrix Prasad in the industrial circles after his pharmaceutical firm Matrix laboratories, was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) late Tuesday in connection with the alleged illegal assets case of Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy.
The arrest comes six months after Koneru Prasad, who had immense clout in Dubai and other emirates, was arrested in the Emaar-APIIC township scam.
Nimmagadda Prasad, 51 and son of an army officer, had allegedly invested Rs.504 crore in the companies of the MP from Kadapa.
The CBI is probing the allotment of 15,500 acres of land by the Rajasekhara Reddy government to Vadrarevu and Nizampatnam Port & Industrial Corridor (Vanpic), a proposed world-class port and an integrated industrial cluster. Prasad's Matrix Enport and the government of Ras Al Khaimah (UAE) are the two promoters of Vanpic.
The CBI believes Gilchrist Investments Pvt Ltd, Alpha Villas Pvt Ltd and Alpha Avenues Pvt Ltd, all companies floated by Prasad, made the huge investments into Jaganmohan Reddy's firms as a quid pro quo for the government land allotted for the Vanpic project.
Coming from an humble background, Prasad began his business career as a sales officer in a multinational company in 1989 and went on to build a business empire spanning sectors like pharma, software, infrastructure and media.
Prasad's meteoric rise brought him closer to both former chief ministers N. Chandrababu Naidu and Rajasekhara Reddy.
Once considered as the man with the Midas touch, he is a member of the executive board of the prestigious Indian School of Business. He is also on the boards of Sakshi newspapers, television channel and Bharati Cements owned by Jagan and also on boards of Care Hospitals and Asian Institute of Gastroenterology. He also has stakes in MAA Television.

If you aren't totally quaking in your boots at the news of millions of bees dead, yet again, you're nuts.
this should be concerning a lot more people than it is
not only because bees are one of the most important animals in the world and their job is a lot more than gathering honey but also because they are what scientists refer to as an "indicator species"
this means that when their populations start dwindling and then rapidly dropping, humans need to watch their shit because that means that environmental factors are too difficult for THEM to live in, so it might be difficult for US to live in, too. bees basically act as an indication that humans have a lot to worry about and when they start dying like this it deserves a lot more than a few headlines.

something worth eating in Olney/Columbia?
I'm dating a guy who lives in Highland MD, which is about halfway between Columbia and Olney. We eat well when we go into DC on occasion for theater, etc.. but sometimes we're really looking for something closer to home (roughly a 10 mile radius). We're both veggie, and wheat is sometimes an issue. We're right near Great Sage, but it has underwhelmed us so far. Any suggestions for Olney or Columbia or anywhere near in-between? Thanks!
Great Sage was my first thought. Bistro Blanc is just down MD-32 and they usually have some vegetarian options.
Highland resident here.
Our #1 regular spot is El Azteca, just a couple hundred yards from Great Sage.
Unfortunately I don't think they have much to offer that is strictly vegetarian.
Sushi King over in Columbia is our #2 go to.
My wife only eats Gluten & Lactose free, and is able to pick very delicious meals from both places. No red or white meat for her either.
She does like shrimp & crab.
We have also always been very underwhelmed by Great Sage. Please post back if you find some other options.
re: mdfoodlover
Thanks, all! We also do El Azteca - they've got a veggie burrito that is great. We'll check out sushi king. I've also regretted the (temporary) closing of Mango Grove... it's taking them quite a while to open back up!
One place that I do like a lot, mdfoodlover, is Ricciutti's in Olney - it's right next to the intersection of 650 and Georgia. They try out some creative dishes and focus on locally sourced foods - I have a couple of favorites there. Have you ever tried out the winery/restaurant up 108, 'iron' something? I haven't been there but keep thinking about it.
I'll keep you posted if I find anything else.
re: jburgard
We used to go to Ricciutti's semi-regularly when we lived in Olney.
I think we only had pizza, can't really recall any specific other entrees. We used to go to The Olney Grille pretty regularly as well. I think we switched to Mama Lucia's as our weekly pasta fix shortly after they opened in 199? something.
Re Iron Bridge. Have never been, but it gets talked up pretty well here & on HowChow. We are not wine drinkers, so I.B's business model is really not our style.
Do try Sushi King sometime. Great rolls! Pretty in Red is my favorite, but that one probably would not be for you.
re: mdfoodlover
+ 1 for Sushi King. The've been consistently excellent for years now. I'm a huge fan.
re: jburgard
I have been to the Iron Bridge Wine Company twice, once for a meal and once for a wine tasting. Their food is good, and the snacks they serve with their wine tastings are delicious. Starting next Monday (and for 2 weeks thereafter), Howard County will have their Restaurant Week and Iron Bridge is participating (lunch and dinner); a good chance to try them out if you were thinking about it. Their vegetarian options are limited, but they will have them.
Mango Grove in Columbia is all vegetarian Indian
re: mdfoodlover
not yet apparently
Try Taste Mezze in Olney. It can be loud but in my experience the food has been really tasty!
There are a lot of choices available. I am not vegetarian but all probably have vegie options. Also depends on your definition of vegetarian.
Olney: Grill Marx (steaks and seafood, raw bar), The Olney Grill (local pub, good food), Sol de Azteca (tex mex/salvadorean), Le Mannequan Pis (belgian bistro, mussels), Wasabi Zen (great sushi), Taste of Mezze (tapas), Ricuitti's (italian, wood burning stove pizza), Mama Lucia (italian pizza/pasta)
Howard County: Victoria Gastropub (gourmet pub food), Iron Bridge (small plates, wine bar, gourmet), Sono Sushi (columbia, great sushi/japanese), Jesse Wongs asian bistro (high end chinese), Crossroads Pub (crab house, seafood), Pasta Blitz (pasta, pizza)
You're in luck. Ten miles from Highland just gets you to Rte 40 and 29, so you're up for food through Columbia, up into Ellicott City and down to Burtonsville. I second Victoria, El Azteca, Bistro Blanc and the other places mentioned by other posters.
Here are some veggie ideas with easy no-wheat options:
1) Veggie bi bim bap, chap chae, and age tofu (hold the fish flakes) or other vegetarian options at Shin Chon Garden in E.C. Add scallion pancakes if you can eat some wheat.
2) Vegetarian platter at Sorreti's Ethiopian in Burtonsville. Upgrade to the teff bread for no wheat issues.
3) A mezze made from the pumpkin, aushuk, bowlani, etc. (hold the meat garnishes) with rice at Maiwand Kabob in Columbia. You may need to ask about wheat in the dumplings. The hot bread is wonderful if you can have some wheat.
4) Great Indian food with rice at any of House of India, Royal Taj, or Flavor of India in Columbia. There is even a counter service Indian on Johns Hopkins Road closer to Highland. That's Tandoori Grill in the shopping center with Facci. I think they do nice curries.
5) Facci Ristorante on Johns Hopkins Road. The Web site is ridiculously slow right now, but I think they have both vegetarian and gluten-free options highlighted.
6) Vegetarian rolls at Sushi Sono -- both the enormous vegetarian special and smaller ones or variations that you request. (Although you may eat fish if you like Sushi King.)
7) All kinds of Chinese food at Red Pearl in Columbia.
If wheat is a possibility, then you can also check out the grilled vegetable sandwich (or whatever variation you ask them to make) at Bon Fresco Sandwich Bakery in Columbia.
And, of course, we should all flock to Mango Grove when it opens in its new space. I went past about a week ago. It was still a construction site, but they're making progress. They have an entire vegetarian menu with wonderful dosas.
I'd suggest other resources, but the Chowhound editors are a bit quick with the delete button. Other people might suggest local blogs or other resources. ;-)

- Tony: "Focus up ladies. Good evening, and welcome to the birthing suite. I am pleased to announce the imminent arrival of your bouncing badass baby brother."
- Tony: "Mark 42, Autonomous Prehensile Propulsion Suit Test, initialize sequence. "
- ―Tony briefing the initial completion of the Mark 42, to his first 7 Mark Armors in the Hall of Armors.
The Mark 42 (XLII), was the forty second suit, and was one of the many newly built suits, created by Tony Stark, sometime after the events of The Avengers and before the initial events of the present Iron Man 3 timeline.
It was the featured suit in the movie Iron Man 3, and made its debut in the movie during the start, when Tony creates it in his basement, and tests the suit's functionalities. It was seen throughout the whole movie as Tony's main suit, and it was later destroyed by self-destruction when Tony ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to do so, after mentally controlling it to trap Aldrich Killian within it to blow him up and finish him for good.
The suit is well known for its special ability to fly in separate pieces and wrap itself around Tony's body, piece by piece through a "state-of-the-art" computer chip that was implanted in his forearms, which enables him to mentally communicate with his armor.
Armor DesignEdit
The Mark 42 has a unique and special design. Unlike most of it's predecessors, the Mark 42 does not feature the usual Red and Gold platings, but instead has darker hue for the red platings and a lighter color for the golden platings.
It's appearance and design is reversed from the original design of the former armors. Whereas the areas with Red platings from it's former armors are now covered with the gold ones and the same style goes with the Red plates of the armor.
Light Gold is the dominant color of this armor. It has a circular-shaped Unibeam with a white glow, and has a thinner appearance than a regular Iron Man Armor.
Armor CapabilitiesEdit
The Mark 42 has prehensile technology, allowing it to attach to Tony when controlled by his nervous system.
Remote Command Edit
The Mark 42 also features the unique ability to control itself when Tony Stark isn't inside his suit or when Mark XLII is A.I-deactivated, the Subcutaneous Implant in Tony's forearms allow the armor to communicate with his nervous system helping the armor follow his commands. Any action done by Stark is imitated by Mark 42 if he connects with it.
Armor FeaturesEdit
The suit is made from an advanced titanium alloy that can resist powerful attacks, including energy attacks, that can destroy normal materials. It is reinforced with silicon infused-steel, enhanced composite armor with ceramic plating, a fiberglass frame and an advanced titanium alloy with high durability, hardness, compressive and tensile strength.
It is based on the Mark 24 and the Mark 38's armor, and might also be more durable and stronger than Mark 38. It also incorporates the Mark 33's energy enhancement technology which projects a slight forcefield that enhances the armor and improves durablility greatly. This incredible durability might be based on earlier armors, like the ability to resist extreme heat, like the Mark 23, gamma radiation and electrical surges, like the Mark 26, biohazards, radioactivity (gamma and nuclear, like the Mark 28) and chemicals, like the Mark 35 and other potentially fatal conditions.
The suit has incredible damage resistance, thanks to the advanced Titanium alloy and its perforated fiberglass-ceramic frame. The armor incorporates an adaptive pressure modification system which regulates internal strength, giving it underwater and sub-orbit capability. It is based on the Mark 39 which can travel to space which gives the Mark 42 the ability to go to space too. This is because the armor is strong enough to withstand cold temperatures, radiation and the low pressures in space.
It can travel far into space because of the technology of the Mark 20 which makes it use less energy. It can also travel underwater like the Mark 37 because the armour is strong enough to withstand the crushing pressures deep under the ocean. It can also travel fast underwater.
The suit used a directed energy reactor, focusing its power and channeling it through to the suit's appendages and weapon systems, giving it enhanced speed, strength, and firepower. Because of the extra energy output, this armor also has a slight energy shield that passively improves its durability. This shield enhances its armour and greatly improves the durability.
The Mark 42 vividly features extremely powerful Electromagnetism. The much more powerful Electromagnets are the results of the armor's Enhanced Directed Energy Reactor, the feature first conceived on the Mark 33. The Electromagnetic Gauntlets of Mark 42 are extremely enhanced. The single hand using an Electromagnetic Gauntlet can carry more than 12 people (with metallic objects such as name tags.) unto the Mark 42. This is proven in Iron Man 3, wherein Tony Stark saves more than 10 people through the use of his Electromagnets. Such powerful electromagnetics can be used as a warp-ripping weapon.
The repulsors on its leg are stronger allowing it to travel into space. Its speed could also be based on the Mark 40 "Shotgun" that is designed to travel up to hypersonic speeds so that the Mark 42 can travel to hypersonic speeds (Mach 1-Mach 10) or reentry speeds (>Mach 25). The armor also has an upgraded flight stabilizing system which enables the armor to have improved versatility during combat and precision during flight. This suit can also fly at very high altitudes without ice building up, because (like all previous armours) it is also based on the Mark 3 which is the first armor to solve the icing problem.
The suit has a standard set of pre-release systems, including amplified muti-stage repulsor systems. It has compact missile systems, much like the Mark VII, and it also has more conventional rocket systems.
The suit employs some of the most advanced repulsion systems of all of his previous designs, utilizing a plasmic-based photon projector system, which captures plasma and electrons in a electromagnetic field, firing it in a beam-like shape with high penetrating capability and immense strength.
The armor has a higher energy output than previous designs, taking from the Mark 33, with energy diversion and enhancement systems. Due to the armor being in the prototype phase, the combat and flight system frequently fault out, forcing Tony to rely solely on the repulsors. Since the suit can go in to space, (just like the space armor in the comics) it has long range cables used as Grappling Hooks.
The Mark 42 utilizes the real-world principle of Plasma Acceleration, a process wherein the use of Electromagnetic Fields to charge atomic energy results in Plasma-based Particles that fuse together to create directed energy Lasers. The Mark 42's Repulsors are ultimately enhanced through this technology. Being able to penetrate and cross through the thickest wall ever possible.
The Mark 42 is equipped with the standard based Repulsors. Pre-pulsion and flight stabilization are much stronger in the suit, due to each of the armor's pieces have a single Repulsor to fly off seperately.
The suit can directly focus its power into the Central Unibeam Projector. It will then fire a concussive blast of energy, stronger than normal weapons such as repulsor rays, that can destroy or overwhelm almost anything in its path at full power. It is shown to be able to kill Eric Savin, whose biology is enhanced with the Extremis virus, which gives its host enhanced healing abilities.
In this case, a point-blank blast went through Savin's chest, a wall behind him and kept going. Its design, incorporating many features of the earlier Mark 33 suit gives it more efficient energy enhancement technology and therefore increases its speed, strength, and durability. This is also due to the high output of the Vibranium Arc Reactor. The Mark 42's Unibeam is one the strongest and most powerful Unibeam's of all the armors.
This armor is equipped with special, non-lethal Flashbangs, one was given by Tony to Harley, in which he later on used it to distract Eric Savin, so Tony can shoot him in the face with a manual hand-Repulsor.
Before Iron Man 3 Edit
Tony creates the prototype version of the prehensile technology system after testing the separate functional capabilities on the Mark 41.
Iron Man 3Edit
The Mark 42 is first seen when Tony Stark is testing it in his workshop. It is later used when Tony was seeing who was at his front door finding Maya Hansen. When the Mandarin attacks Tony's home, Tony controls the suit to wrap around Pepper until she made it safely out of the house. Tony then uses the suit to try to fend off the Mandarin's attack.
It was able to destroy two out of three helicopters but was heavily damaged. It fell down with his house but was able to make it out of the wreckage and away from Malibu. Tony finds out that the suit has flown all the way to Rose Hill, Tennessee. The suit is low on power and Tony has to find a way to charge it. He finds a garage to keep it where he meets Harley Keener. Before Tony Stark and Harley Keener left Harley Keener's Garage, Tony Stark toke a Grappling Hook from the Mark 42. Tony and Harley are able to charge the suit but not fully.
Tony later uses it to escape from Trevor Slattery's house and deal with his guards. Later, controlling the suit remotely, Tony kills Eric Savin and saves citizens falling out of Air Force One. It is hit by a truck and is knocked into pieces, but is somehow later put back together and arrives at the docks to aid the other suits in killing Killian, but hits a pole and falls into pieces. It is then used to trap Aldrich and self destructs on Tony's orders but fails to kill him.
Other MediaEdit
Iron Man 3 - The Official GameEdit
In Iron Man 3 - The Official Game, it is one of the strongest armors available for use, having a x7.0 Score Multiplier, and categorized under the Striker Missile special power.
It is initially available for use in the start of the game, having a x1.0 Score Multiplier but then gets damaged after one short run of an instructional game to teach the player how to play, so the Mark III replaces the Mark 42 while it is being repaired.
- Score Multiplier: x7.0
- Special Weapon: Striker Missile
- Game Description:
This section is under development. Information will be placed here soon.
Marvel's Iron Man 3 - JARVIS: A Second Screen ExperienceEdit
- Armor Description:
- This armor was based on the armor with the same functionality and name in the comics, which is the Extremis Armor.
- There has been some speculation that Mark 42 is in fact the Mark 8 or the Mark 47, due to it being the next suit created after the Mark VII (7), prior to the "House Party Protocol" suits, leaving a gap as to whether the Mark VIII (8) suit was created at all.
- It has already been confirmed that this suit is indeed the Mark 42, and that it is neither the Mark 8, nor the Mark 47. As the Mark 8 is a completely different suit that Tony created in the movie, and exists, and as for the Mark 47, Tony has yet to create it and it never existed in the movie.
- The Number 42, according to 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', is the meaning of life. Not suprisingly, Tony finds his own meaning of life using this suit.
- According to its description in Iron Man 3: The Official Game the suit has a self-repairing function, this may be why Tony is able to use it after crash landing in Tennessee and getting hit by a truck.
- The Mark 42 was one of the many suits that could be seen in the Iron Man 3 movie theatrical poster, being worn by Tony, along with the Marks 17, 24, 33, 39, and 41.
- The Mark 42 is the first armor to feature more Gold platings than red, other than the usual Red and Gold plating style.
- Despite the powerful characteristics of the armor, the Mark 42 armor in the movie is somewhat weak, this is somewhat seen during the Mark 42's performance during the film.
- A possible explanation for the Mark 42's weak performance in Iron Man 3 is the fact that the armor is still in the prototype stage when Tony used it in the film.

Summary: In which Sherlock and John meet ten months and three-and-a-half thousand miles earlier.
Why read it:
Is a "why read" section even necessary for this fic? You've all probably seen this fic squeed, sobbed, and flailed over on your dashes for quite some time now.
Is there anything that I, a lowly fangirl, can possibly say in order to pimp out this masterpiece anymore than the fandom has already succeeded in doing?
Notes: Yes, this is a WIP, and therefore against our policy. For our 221st post though, we thought it necessary to finally rec this magnum opus.
Sadly, it will be our last regular post for an indeterminate amount of time. As promised, the rec list from the A Study In Fic submissions will be posted…. eventually.
It might even happen this week. Maybe. But we here at Fuck Yeah Sherlock Fics, ever the classiest of bitches, are proud to be ending things with a bang.

John keeps his hands in his pockets, except at streetcorners, where he still sometimes tries to get Harry to hang onto his sleeve as they cross. It's embarrassing. She walks ahead of him a little bit, to discourage that kind of thing.
Why read it: Eleven-year-old Harry Watson is a BAMF. She will kick your ankles until she gets whatever it is she wants, and let me tell you, that shit hurts. She can also tell you all about just how fucking awesome bunnies are. And let's face it, they're the most bad ass mothers out there.
^ Case in fucking point.
And she snoops well enough to make any Holmes proud. All while wearing her favorite fuzzy yellow jumper that makes her feel like she's wearing the goddamn sun.
I guess jumper-love runs in the family
Notes: This story is actually the sequel of another great story, The Dangerous Book for Boys. The sequel can be read alone, but I would definitely recommend reading both.

Summary: It's never felt like this before, like wanting to say, "I'd rather not, but if you wanted, I'd get on my knees for you." Because John is a dom, and Sherlock is a dom, and John wants him anyways. Except, one of these things is not quite true.
Why read it: This was an interesting verse to read. In an AU in which everyone is either submissive or Dominant, Sherlock has difficulties forming relationships with anyone. Most people assume he's a Dom, and he's constantly being hit on by either subs or switches.
Unfortunately, forming a relationship with a Dom has always involved putting his personal life before his cases, which is something that Sherlock is just not willing to do.
Notes: This fic has two prequels, You Need Someone (But It Wont Be Me) and It's Easy To Trust Someone Who Can't Break You. Both of these are Lestrade/Sherlock, although the second deals more with Sherlock and John's progressing relationship. I would really encourage everyone to read these before reading the final fic.
This verse was found for the request: "haven't read any good BDSM fic lately. Dear Jumper & Scarf, please will you fix it for me to give me some good porn to read" There's not much porn, dear, but I hope it helps.

Summary: Sorcerer!Sherlock sets out to trap himself a pet dragon. Said dragon turns out to be far more interesting than he initially anticipated.
Why read it: Cause John Watson is a motherfucking dragon!!! As far as I'm concerned, that's head canon. Come on, it makes sense. We always knew he was part reptile anyway.
I just love the way this author portrays John as completely not human, but still the John we know and love. Except carnivorous.
Notes: This fic has a lot of warnings attached to it, so be sure to read them all. Personally though, I didn't find it as dark as the the warnings indicate it would be. It was actually humorous at times. Let me stress however, that that's my PERSONAL opinion.

Why read it: JAZZ AGE AU!!!
I can not tell you how much I love the idea of Sherlock in the 20's. The author does an amazing job keeping the fic remarkably similar to the show, while still managing to avoid any anachronisms that might be tempted to sneak in. Oh, and her depiction of Sherlock playing the violin?
I could read that for-fucking-ever.

Summary: John is an army bomb detection dog who has been turned into a human.
Why read it: This fic succeeds in evoking an interesting combination of emotions. On one hand, there is the joy you feel when John uses his doggy senses to be a BAMF.
On the other hand, be prepared to board the angst train when you realize how much suffering John's transformation causes him.
There's also a good dose of helpful, caring Mycroft for anyone who has a soft spot for everyone's favorite minor government official.
