Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Not to sound rude, but are you seriously that retarded? The hard mode refers to being able to change the boss fights to something quite challenging such as Sarth + 3 drakes. Both 10 and 25 man versions will have hard mode for these bosses. Hard mode =/= Heroic mode.
David Whyld said...
Oh, c'mon. Seriously. No one facerolled 25 man Naxx with people AFK. Not even the hardest of the hardcore raiding guilds did that sort of thing.
I was referring to the damn optional hard modes. Uldaur 25 should be hard and not optional hard.
Uldaur 25 will be the same difficulty as 10 man which is garbage. I run both 25 and 10 man naxx ,and was very disappointed in 25 man.
To the moron on top telling me to play a diff game. According
to your logic: Obama beat McCain; Republicans should leave the country right? And I should leave because I found one fault in the game amirite?
10 man and 25 man are supposed to be roughly the same difficulty. The only difference is how many people you bring. 25 man drops better loot because co-ordinating 25 people is much harder than 10. 25 man should be tuned slighty harder but it won't be 10 man easy mode 25 man hard mode. A good thing in my opinion.
Blizzard has stated as well that Ulduar will be much much harder, (64 harder to be exact) than Naxx. However the days of wiping on a boss for months are over. The days of wiping on a boss on hard mode have begun. A good thing in my opinion. Now raids can tune the encounters to how good they are.
You want to have that pre-nerf mu'ru fight? Go for it with 4 pillars. Get yourself some ilevel 250 loot. Too hard? Try it with 3, get some ilevel 240 loot. Still too hard? Do it with 2. If your raid is good enough you can get yourself ilevel 230 loot. (I'm estimating the ilevels here, bear with me.) Do it with a pillar up get some ilevel 220 loot. STILL too hard? Alright, "faceroll" as you put it, your way into some ilevel 215 loot.
Another example, Hakkar lost abilities for each troll aspect you killed, but, correct me if I'm wrong, he dropped the same loot whether he had all aspects up, or none. Now, some guilds could have done it with no aspects easily. Don't you wish he had dropped more loot if you had done it with more abilities?
Replayability is the name of the game.
It's a good thing. A very good thing.
What I hope they don't do however, is continue to make mounts drop from the "hard modes". I find it funny that to get the best loot from sarth, you only need to do it with 2 drakes up. To get a drake, an awesome mount, (and believe me, I love mounts, I have an albino drake myself) you have to do it hard hard HARD mode. But the mount is still a vanity item. An awesome vanity item, but a vanity item just the same.
LOL "harder to coordinate " 25 get more buffs, much less penalty for death. There really no more coordination. Vent pretty much fixes that, heck half of the 25 man can prolly just wing it.
I guess what really get my goat is that 25 man encounters are often easier. 25 man are only harder to coordinate in PUGS.
Most fights are always MT stand here OT stand here pick up adds
Healers stand here and dps stand there and then do your little pve dance.
Ppl who play RPGs exclusively may have a hard time with this, but i've seen battlefield 2 fights with real opponents done on a more massive scale done beautifully on the fly.
"To the moron on top telling me to play a diff game. According
to your logic: Obama beat McCain; Republicans should leave the country right? And I should leave because I found one fault in the game amirite?"
No, a better anology would be as follows:
Obama beat McCain, so Republicans who are so juvenile that they can't stand a member of the opposing party in power should leave the country if they can't do anything but complain. Republicans who don't mind can stay.
Shinken, 25 people are not harder too coordinate in a fight, they're harder to coordinate in a guild. Finding 10 decent players is a lot easier than finding 25 of them, and then not having the whole thing explode in a giant mushroom cloud of drama is the real challenge.
Also, 10-man Sarth-3D is a lot harder than 25-man.

Appreciation pt.2 (Male BelarusXReader)You walked down the street, your brows furrowed. It had been happening for a while now, that strange feeling of being watched. You couldn't place it, though after your little speech you should've been expecting it.Rubbing the bridge of your nose, you turned on your heel and made way to a group of bushes which were next to the pavement. ".... Nikolai, get out of there." Said male burrowed his way out from under the shrubbery.Standing in front of you with a blasé look on his face, he raised his eyebrow at you. After a moment of enduring your intent stare, he caved. "What?"Resting your hand on your hip, you rolled your eyes. "Quit following me." Though you'd said that, you were actually feeling quite flattered and your heart skipped a beat when his expression turned pained.Swiftly turning around, you were about to continue going home when he grabbed hold of your arm. "But if I don't, I won't be able to prot
What to do? (Male BelarusXSick Reader)Nikolai was chewing on his thumbnail fretfully, his gaze directed at the reason for his distress. Lying on the bed in front of which he was sitting, was you. Your face was flushed and your breaths came in short wheezes as you did your best to find a way to sleep. Breathing through your nose was out of the question however as it was clogged up severely.The conundrum Nikolai was beating himself up over was this; should he take you to the doctor or not?It should have been a simple enough question for anyone other than the Belarusian and after half an hour of thinking it over he still hadn't gotten an answer.If I do take her there, you'll get better sooner... Nikolai listed, frowning when you gasped and went into a particularly bad coughing fit. He sat you up against his chest, letting you cough it out until you lay trembling in his arms.But if I do, the doctor will see you like this.Tightening his arms around you, he buried his face into your neck.And I don't want
Two steps forward (Male!BelarusXReader) RQThe bass drum that reverberated throughout the dimly lit, smokey room that made your chest vibrate and made your heartbeat feel ten times stronger as it was led by the intoxicating music. You grinned and stared at the musicians with earnest admiration, whilst Nikolai had his eyes narrowed. He didn't like the way you were staring at those other men with such well, love he supposed. Though you didn't feel love for the drummer even if he sent your body into a frenzy, nor the brass that made your hips move with such enthusiasm.The Belarusian's dark pools of sapphire never left your form, though he badly wanted to glare at those whose attention you'd attracted. With a scowl he placed his hands around your waist to signify that he was your chosen partner. Even if he was the one that had chosen you.Leaning back against his chest and swinging your hips to the boogie, you smiled radiantly at him. That angelic smile of yours, immediately made his worries melt away and h
Swish (Cat!Male!BelarusXCat!Reader) RQThe sun was shining down on you and you basked in its warmth. You were sprawled on the garage roof behind your house as it was the ideal spot to sunbathe. Your fluffy ears pricked up at the sound of softly padding feet, coming towards you. Blinking your eyes, you mewled in greeting as you saw large greyish cat. He meowed in return, rubbing his head up to yours and licking your ears. "How you been my love?" "Not bad at all, though I'm better now you're here." Nikolai purred contentedly and nipped at your whiskers. "Come, I need to show you something," You licked your lips in confusion, your tail swishing about. "Now?""Yes, come on!" Well he never was the type to explain things properly so you trotted behind him, winding round alleyways and tight corners, skipping over boxes and generally avoiding the hustle and bustle of the high street. Humans always passed by there and not only w
Bedsheets (Male UkraineXReader)Dmitri smiled as you skipped around the kitchen. The place was filled with light as though very your presence was coaxing the sunlight to shine through the window. "Want some more coffee?" You asked, getting the pot out when he nodded.You scrunched your face in concentration as you poured, the thing was pretty heavy and you didn't want to drop it or spill boiling coffee on yourself. Dmitri poked the crease between your brows when you straightened up, not having wasted a single drop.Slapping his hand away playfully, you set the coffee pot back onto the stove and watched as he continued reading the newspaper. He glanced up every now and then, catching your eye and grinning.He simply couldn't get over that adorable tendency you'd developed. You'd been routinely wearing his shirts ever since that first time, using them as pyjamas mostly and pairing them up with either your underwear or some shorts.Either way you ended up showing off a lot of leg.
Want to? (Photographer Male HungaryXReader)You puffed out your cheeks in thought, swinging your legs as you sat on the small table. The dim lights made it hard to see, but then again your iPod's screen lit up. Besides all you were doing at the moment was sit around and wait for your friend to finish up.Your friend was quite a popular model ever since she'd been spotted on the street. She'd been hauled in by the modelling agency pretty much immediately. Today you'd agreed to go out for some cake but she'd cancelled at the last minute, saying she had a shoot to go to.And well, you'd suggested that you'd go with her and afterwards you'd go and get some goodness from your favourite little cake shop, the one run by that adorable frenchie.Your friend had been stressing out when you came to the shoot though, babbling on about the photographer being difficult to work with. So far the guy didn't seem that bad. He was wearing simple clothes, a black polo neck and blue jeans, but th
Don't go (Male!BelarusXChubby!Reader)You glared at the ceiling, letting your eyes drop open and shut. It was almost as though by repeating this action again and again, you thought something would happen. Like waking from the dream of reality or something. Maybe if you blinked enough you'd be able to wake up.You could even see yourself waking up, although you'd be in a prettier body. No fat would cling to your stomach and hips, your arms wouldn't be dimpled and you'd look fantabulous in every way. A tear rolled down your cheek and your brows crinkled as you started crying.Why did you always torment yourself like this? Why, why, why did you always manage did bring yourself down? It's not like you wanted to feel ugly or unwanted, so why on earth did you do it?You started when you felt something heavy on your hips, opening your squeezed shut eyes and craning your neck to see what it was. Nikolai was frowning at you, propping himself up by his hands which he'd placed next to your face.
Cold hands (Male UkraineXReader)"Dmitri!" You cried, flinging yourself at the Ukrainian in the doorway. A flurry of snowflakes scurried inside with him as he tried to close the door without letting go of you. "I missed you!" You told him, planting kisses on his cold cheeks."Hang on..." he murmured, pecking your nose as he shrugged off his wet trench coat and knitted scarf. "There we go!" Dmitri took hold of you properly, discarding his gloves in the process.He smiled happily as you returned the hug, your warm hands tracing his cooler frame. Shivering slightly at the difference in temperature, he pressed his forehead against yours."I missed you too." He said, his signature smile gracing his chapped lips. "C'mon, let's get you warmer."You tugged his wrist, making him follow you into the heated room. He relaxed, though his hands were starting to go numb.He pulled you back for a hug and of course you didn't refuse. His hands st
The brushing of hair (PolandXReader)"Hey Feliks?" Currently, you were laying on your back on the faded blue sofa. You were lying upside down, so with your feet sticking up in the air, your head was unsupported as you dangled half off of it."Yeah?" Your friend was sitting next to you, his nose buried in a cosmetics and fashion magazine. One of your hands tangled in your hair, making you slip a bit more, your head dangerously close to the floor."I think I might cut my hair short, really short." Feliks' eyes widened to the size of saucers and he slammed the magazine down, several post-it notes and other makeshift bookmarks flying out of it. "No! I won't let you!" He'd jumped to his feet and even though he wasn't that tall, as your face was low down, he towered over you."C'mon if you've got short hair, how am I supposed to plait your hair, or, or do pigtails or something?! If you get short hair I won't even be able to-"&
APH Male!BelarusxReader - A Mathematical SleepoverAN: Very randomly, I decided to write something about Male!Belarus and somehow wound up with this…Cutie Fem!Russia FTW! Technically, this is a Male!Belarus x Female!Reader, but I added some very, very subtle hints of Fem!Russia and Female!Reader 'cuz it's so cute =O= (okay, not too subtle XD)~*~"(Name)! (Name)!"You slammed your locker shut with a bang, startled out of your little reverie. "You scared me, Anya!" You scowled at your Russian best friend, watching as she jogged hurriedly over to you with her long pretty locks of hair flying behind her figure."You were daydreaming again, weren't you?" She looked accusingly at you, narrowing her amethyst eyes and pouting her lips. "And right in the middle of locker break too! You're lucky we have the same class next period or else you would've been late because of all your little daydreaming, da? You're such a dreamer, (Name)!" Anya giggled now, pu

""What?!" you screamed, hands clenched tightly around the fuzzy red blanket. "What happens then?!""Well

You shrieked, hands scrambling at your blanket, holding it close to you for comfort."Well, goodnight, дорогая." Nikolai kissed your forehead lightly, sailing quietly into your bedroom and conking out immediately on the big, squishy mattr
Male!BelarusxReader: Mine"__________~," a silky voice called out your name. "Come out
I need to talk to you."You shook slightly from your hiding place in the science closet. For the past few weeks you had been hanging out with the new kid in the class above yours. Ivan was really nice and surprisingly gentle. You liked hanging out with him. "Someone please

" The door flew open and there stood Nikolai smiling like you were something to eat. He crouched down and reached out to touch you."Eek," you let out a small noise as you flinched from his touch. Nikolai stopped for a few seconds as he realized your movements. Then with a snarl he lunged his hand forward and grabbed you by the back of your neck."I finally found you _________," he pulled you to him and with his other hand gently touched your cheek with his gloved hand.
Male!Belarus x Reader"Why? Why?! Why do you believe that there is something good within me?!" Nikolai yelled, his purple coloured eyes glaring at the (e/c) of the female. The female showed no signs of fear, not even a wince, at his anger. Any sane person would have run away but not her. Alfred, her best friend, was a good ten feet away, praying for her safety."You're just misunderstood. I know you care for Anya and you're willing to protect her. I respect that but you have to give your sister some space," her usually cheerful voice was emotionless, her eyes staring, not at his eyes, but at his soul. Her phone beep, the alarm she set for her part-time job. With a sigh she turned on her heels and walked away."WHY DO YOU CARE ANYWAY!?" Nikolai yelled, pulling out a dagger from his gray jacket. (name) stopped, turning her head to look over her shoulder."Cause.. I like you Nikolai.. You're... loyal to the ones you love.."
Newest Obsession Male!BelarusXReader9 hours, 57 minutes, and 4 seconds.That was how long the platinum blonde had been sitting against the wall, living in his thoughts, a bottle of vodka held loosely in his hand. He'd first gotten into the alcoholic drink when he found out it was big sister Russia's favorite. She had been his obsession at the time, and thus, he'd done whatever he could to forge a connection with her. Of course, she wasn't his obsession now, but his addiction to vodka wasn't going to fade away anytime soon. And the fact that he couldn't stop thinking about you certainly wasn't helping. His chest tightened as he thought about you. You were his current obsession, and the reason why he was drunk on his ass.Ironically, it was because of his old obsession that he met you.Several days ago.......Belarus silently sharpened his knife, his eyes narrowed into dangerous slits. He'd heard from Lithuania that big sister Russia was coming home from the world meeting- and was bringing anot
Fear (Demon!Male!BelarusXReader)You heard knocking at the door. You shook and shivered violently. You couldn't take it. Whimpering as hot tears fell down your face, you stayed silent hoping he would give up and go home."___, I know you're in there." He said calmly but loud enough for you to hear. Eyes wide, you whimpered more holding yourself in the corner. You couldn't face him, you didn't want to. Ever since you found out what he was.~☼~You walked over to Nikolai's house waiting to snuggle with him and for him to keep all your fears away as he usually does. But as you came to his door that night, you heard a crash. Worried, you quickly found the key he gave you and opened the door calling his name. There was a crash, a groan, and heavy breathing. You grabbed then iron from the fireplace and ran in the direction only to see the man you loved standing over a bloody carcass. But something was different about him. He turned to look at you and you noticed his eyes were bright red and his mouth and hands were

Happy Birthday Male!BelarusXreaderYou were scared today and were currently hiding in the back of your closet. Why? Well it's your birthday. Now most people wouldn't be hiding in their closets on such a special day, but you happened to share your birthday with the one and only Nikolai aka Belarus. You were scared of the tall man who had an obsession with his sister. Seeing how many more people remembered today as you birthday, well that left Nikolai very, very, very angry. Which left you hiding in your home hoping he wouldn't come after you.You woke up that day quite happy actually, until you got a call from N. Italy saying happy birthday. You flung the phone back to its stand and ran to your closet and since then have yet to come out.The phone rang a couple of times and messages from people wishing you a happy birthday were left to the answering machine. You decided it would be safe to get a small snack from your fridge. Stepping out of the closet (a/n: lol! You came out of the closet //shot) you looked around making
Male!BelarusXReader: Not scared of youMale!BelarusXReader: Not scared of you"Marry me!" you heard someone say from the living room. You were invited over to your friend's house and when you entered you heard glass shattering and something like a door being torn down. You got deeply worried for your friend Anya as the Russian women ran past you at top speed, crying."Leave me alone!" she said."You know you want too!" a male said walking out of the living room. Your eyes widen as you stare at the tall handsome man. He looked very strong and intimidating. His violet eyes glowing brightly. His eyes changed to you and his eye's narrowed."Who are you?" he hissed anger and annoyance in his voice. You stood there with your hands in front of you and with a stoic expression. You weren't fazed at all with his tone."Hn," you said taking off your gloves and put them in your coat pocket and held out a hand at him. "My name is ________ ________ I'm Anya's friend," you said.

Appreciation (Male BelarusXReader)Anya cowered in fear behind her older brother. Nikolai advanced towards her, his hands out, ready to catch her should she make the mistake of leaving Dmitri's side. You crinkled your nose, it was always the same with those three.And though Nikolai was disturbing most times, you still quite enjoyed being around him. Because well.... because of what exactly? Not for his looks, though his stunning blue eyes were certainly beautiful and his pale skin and hair was beyond gorgeous.It was because you envied him.Sounds crazy right? But there was something about the thing that drove him to such lengths to get his sister to understand his feelings. You admired his ability to love so unconditionally, no matter how many times he failed to get the message across, he didn't give up.That persistence attracted you to him. Hearing the bickering pick up, you slammed your book onto the table and glared at them.Anya was in the middle of her sentence. "-this is why I hate you! Just s

Cloud ERP is designed to address the inflexibility of existing ERP software by allowing businesses to choose the deployment option that fits their specific needs. Cloud ERP is a flexible and cost-effective option for small and medium-sized businesses and offers extensive benefits for growth and expansion:
View Customer Case Studies | Acumatica vs Netsuite
What Is Cloud ERP?
Cloud ERP is Enterprise Resource Planning software that is hosted in a platform over the Internet. The use of the term "Cloud" includes a broad set of applications and software deployment models, namely Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). After compiling several online resources, we created a generally accepted definition of cloud computing.
Definition of Cloud Computing: Use of the Internet to access hardware, software, and other resources that are provided on-demand in order to perform work and other business processes.
A more in-depth definition of cloud computing has been provided by the National Institute of Standards (NIST). Despite this work, disputes over multi-tenant, internal clouds, and cloud infrastructure versus cloud application create conflicting opinions of cloud requirements.
The bottom line is that ERP software that is deployed in a cloud environment becomes "Cloud ERP Software". Most (if not all) Cloud environments are built using virtualization and load balancing technology that allows applications to be deployed across multiple servers and database resources.
Hosted "Clouds"
When vendors place legacy software on a hosted virtual server, they claim to have a "cloud based ERP solution." But without web-based software, customers receive very few of the benefits described here. The presence of a thick client often requires longer installation times, dispersed data, client upgrades, and complicated remote access software. When looking for cloud ERP software, make sure that it is web-based!
The tables below summarize some of the key benefits.
Cloud Conflict
Vendors and advocates have introduced terminology and requirements which have been disputed as a source of being a true cloud environment.

It's so weird when all the people I follow are passing around one of those "the person I reblogged this from is worth following" "the person I reblogged this from is beautiful" type things and I want to do it for everyone but I also don't want to spam everyone with like eight of them so if I don't reblog one of those from you don't feel bad and you are still awesome okay?

Give Your Puppy a Choice: Modern Socialization and Training
There is so much that your puppy can and should learn in the first critical months that it can be overwhelming. Tawzer Dog and I have almost finished a made-for-home-viewers DVD on training and socialization for puppies. It demonstrates innovative, practical, dog-friendly socialization and training techniques to help your puppy grow into a reliable life-long companion.
Where to Buy
- This title is out of print, and will be replace by "Problem Prevention" in summer 2014.
More Info
The "Give Your Puppy a Choice" video helps you know what to do with your new puppy, how to train the basics, and how to prevent common problems. It also gives other resources for puppy raising. The socialization section uses the force-free methods of BAT (Behavior Adjustment Training) and counterconditioning. It's meant for new puppy owners but shares ideas with trainers who teach puppy classes, as well.
Give Your Puppy a Choice is Grisha's fourth DVD.

I have a couple of questions regarding xdcr
1. I read "In the event of a more significant network failure where the destination cluster is unavailable for more than 30 seconds, you may need to delete and recreate the replication.". Does this mean that we have to manually recreate replication configs during network failures ? Doesn't xdcr queue up the items to be replicated ?
2. In the event of a more complicated document conflict will xdcr error out and allow document conflict to be manually resolved ?
1. For the typical network failures, XDCR will continue to retry sending mutations based on this parameter xdcrFailureRestartInterval (Interval for restarting failed XDCR) . XDCR creates checkpoints every 30 mins. So it will check if mutations that happened in the last 30 mins have been replicated. If they have, it will not send the new "documents" mutated, only do a check. If the mutations are not replicated, it will resend data as well. So its pretty resilient to network failures.
The checkpoint interval (xdcrCheckpointInterval) can also be changed, however it is not recommended particularly in case of bi-directional replication.
In case of a much bigger network problem and you need manual intervention as the destination cluster has a new IP or is a completely new cluster, you should delete and recreate replication. If its a completely new cluster, it will need to resend the entire dataset.
2. In case of conflicts, currently XDCR will resolve conflicts based on the number of mutations on each document. Currently, 2.0 doesn't have the ability to do custom resolution.
As far as your point (1) is concerned: I believe the docs are misleading here. I've personally tested XDCR with a link that I then severed (by taking down the remote cluster) and re-connected and the link worked just fine afterwards, even after several hours of being down.
Yes, Thanks MichaelL. We'll fix the documentation.
In general XDCR is very resilient even on network failures. It maintains checkpoints and will only resend data from the last sent checkpoint.
Out of curiosity, how many nodes are you testing XDCR on and for how many documents?
It was a small test case: two nodes in one cluster and only one in the other, with about a million records. I let the replication get halfway(-ish), then shut down the remote cluster, went to lunch, and restarted it afterwards. The replication continued just fine once I restarted the remote cluster.
Great. good to hear that it worked well. good luck with your project.

Lane Filtering
Click HERE to go to Transport for NSW page
Historical Data
See Transport NSW's Media Release HERE
The Minister for Roads and Ports, the Honourable Duncan Gay has announced that Lane Filtering for Motorcycles in NSW will be legalised. The Minister's Media Release is at the bottom of the page.
Christopher Burns, spokesman for the Motorcycle Council of NSW (MCCofNSW) said;
"The Minister for Roads and Ports Duncan Gay, Transport for NSW and the Centre for Road Safety should be applauded for this common sense move to legalise lane filtering in NSW and the first state in Australia to do so.
Lane filtering is the practice of motorcycles moving between stopped or slow-moving cars.
There are multiple benefits from lane filtering including reducing the risk of riders being caught up in a rear end collision by removing them from the danger zone. Rear enders are the most common collision in NSW and can result in a rider being severely injured.
Lane filtering has been common practice for motorcycle riders across the country and overseas for decades. The benefits of Lane Filtering have been internationally recognised as a solution to traffic congestion in built up areas and will assist in relieving congestion issues on NSW's major and minor routes thereby assisting drivers with their daily commutes.
Ultimately riders are doing all road users a big favour by lane filtering and reducing congestion.
This also highlights the fact that the community consultation process in NSW is alive and well."
Lane Filtering reduces congestion and with close to 4,000 motorcycles travelling into the Sydney CBD every weekday the benefits to other motorists is huge."
Encouraging the use of motorcycles and scooters in Central Business Districts also relieves parking issues for local councils as five motorcycles can fit in the space of a single car.
Drivers are reminded to watch both their mirrors and look for motor bikes filtering through the traffic and riders are advised to manage their risk.
Full details of the lane filtering implementation can be found at the Transport for NSW website.
The MCC of NSW
United we ride - Divided we walk
The Motorcycle Council of NSW (MCC of NSW) was established in 1982 and is the state's pre-eminent motorcycle advisory group representing over 80,000 motorcycle riders from 41 social clubs and motorcycling organisations.

Dallas– Left Joe Johnson for a while at All-Star media availability on Friday to get some other stuff, and then caught up with him as he finally stood from his table and got the heck out of there.
So did you get many questions from reporters about your potential free agency after the season?
"Yeah," he said, smiling wearily.
And what did you tell them?
"I told them the truth: Who knows what's going to happen in July?" he said, repeating the standard response he's given to hacks who come through Atlanta and corner him on the subject.
But doesn't the fact you approached the Hawks about an extension last summer indicate you'd prefer to stay in Atlanta?
"I'd love to," he said, "but who knows what happens, man."
That's about as close as J.J. will come to saying he intends to re-sign with the Hawks. That's good business, of course. No need to say one way or another until he sees how the Hawks finish out the season and then he can get a feel for the market.
And even after Johnson tipped his hand by asking for the extension (but later declining the Hawks' four-year, $60 million offer for CBA reasons), the Hawks understand there's a real chance he might decide to sign elsewhere for whatever reason(s). J.J. probably really doesn't know what's going to happen right now.
In the meantime, expect the same noncommittal answers from him as reporters continue to ask him about his free-agency plans.

February 13th, 2010

Based on what I can glean from having followed his career, my gut tells me that he's going to stay. Joe is a quality person. He's close to his family and has a forgiving heart. Having said that, show him no respect and he will act in kind. As long as Sund shows that he believes in him and is willing to show him the proper respect, I think Joe will reciprocate. Sund has shown a willingness to "take care of" players that fit into our strategic vision as he did with ZaZa, Smoove, and Marvin. I see no reason that this core of players should not be kept for at least the next 2-3 years.
February 13th, 2010
1:54 am
What's the probability that the Hawks could take the money they were going to give Joe and land Dwyane Wade or even, dare I say it, Lebron James? I think this team would be a shoe in for a couple of championships with D-Wade at two guard. He plays hard all the time and he's a leader on the floor. I don't know if Lebron would quite mesh with the core they have in place, but he sure would put this team in line for at least 60 wins…as long as they don't bring Woodson back.

Lets sign Bosh, and let go of JJ.
February 13th, 2010

With the complex NBA salary cap rules and the Hawks cap situation, you can't get what you (magic beans traders) want.
If JJ leaves, almost all of that salary cap space goes away because the Hawks are under the cap.
Lose JJ and you probably replace him with someone willing to take Marvin's pay.
Unless you know a way to get 1/2 of a Bosh or LeBron, you get none and no JJ.
Love the one your with. JJ works in the ATL.
February 13th, 2010
2:31 am
I'm so hay to be back in the A for a little while to get away from all the Who Dat Hoopla – equally happy to see JJ get some props and start this All-Star Game – he deserves it. He is not the Ra Ra type of guy like a Lebron or Wade, but he is a quality, consistant star like a James Worthy – definitely someone the Hawks would want to keep around.
February 13th, 2010

i dont have any confidence in the ASG. did you see what they did on the hockey end? joe ain't worth max, but dwade is. i think that we are a shoe in for the east if we had our core wit' dwade.

February 13th, 2010
3:10 am
Joe Johnson's coments sound eerily- if that's a word, or I spelled it right, to Ilya Kovalchuk's lies he spread before being traded. The Hawks need to protect their assets, and if Joe is going to bail, they need to get something for him. As much as we all want to see the Hawks do well in the playoffs, there are only 2 routes at this point, since it seems like a sure thing that they will make the playoffs. The first is hang on to Joe and get beat by the Magic or the Cavs. let's be honest with ourselves here, we have no legitimate shot of beating either team the way the roster currently stands. Even if we make the Eastern Conference Finals, there is no legitimate way that we beat either team…. The obvious decision is to trade Joe Johnson, as much as Hawks fans don't want to hear it. Even if this is the situation that goes down, its not all horrible… In the ideal Hawks world, LeBron would lose out on another championship and get angry at the cavs. After not re-signing with them, he will look to find the greatest opportunity to find a championship. once he realizes that a sign-and-trade involving himself and joe johnson/marvin williams will put him on the hawks w josh smith and al horford, he will jump at the chance, if he is not a re-tard. In doing so, the Atlanta Hawks will win the 2011 NBA championship… If this doesn't go down…. good waste of time….
February 13th, 2010
5:18 am
Super cereal-ly Lebron is a retard. He is Michael Jordan before he grew up. Dwade only has a rep because he won a championship with Shaq AND Alonzo Mourning. Sure he played great, but so did Joe two seasons ago against the celtics. Joe plays D, rebounds, and leads quietly. Smoove only figured it out because Joe sat him down and told him the what's what.
Neither Lebron nor Dwade will win a championship any time soon. Cleveland will fade once the microscope on Stern's machinations force him to back off. Boston is old. The Magic have chemistry problems. This is the year that the Hawks go to the finals. I maybe wrong about this, but I'd be willing to bet $1000 that Joe stays in Atlanta through 2012.
February 13th, 2010
5:29 am
All ignoramus posters with the pie-in-the-sky ideas about using 'Joe's money' to make a run at one of the A-list free agents, please reference Manny T's post above.
Just because we don't pay Joe's $15m comes off the books doesn't mean we have that money to go and offer someone else. You guys should do your research before coming on here and posting this Dwade/Lebron/Bosh drivel: http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm
Or maybe you think you have a better handle on the situation than the man who gets paid to know such things (Sund).

JJ is not a vocal leader. He doesn't have the personality nor the vocality to lead a team. He should play under leaderships such as Steve Nash, LeBron James, or Chris Paul where he would be more of a role player. The hawks need a facilitator not a recipient. Here's a list of facilitators that the hawks need to lead the team:
Dwyane Wade
Raymond Felton
Aaron Brooks
Deron William
Jason Kidd
Steve Nash
LeBron James
Chris Paul
The hawks should try to sign Raymond Felton and Chris Bosh. Raymond is a facilitator, vocal leader and a true point gaurd. Jeff Teague was a waste because he is not a true pg. We should have taken Eric Maynor instead. Chris Bosh gives us the strongest front court in the league and he scores more points and rebound more than JJ.
2010 Starting Lineup:
pg-Raymond Felton
sg-Jamal Crawford
sf-Chris Bosh
pf-Josh Smith
c-Al Horford / Jerome Jordan 7′0(rookie)
February 13th, 2010
6:13 am
Fine, ignore all logic then. As you were. We should sign Wade, Lebron and Bosh in the offseason! That will get us out of the second round. Somebody get Sund on the horn STAT!

What is the Hawks record since Woody got rid of his eyebrows? Anyone?
February 13th, 2010
7:40 am
if joe johnson does not come back next season. who will they sign? yes there are other great free agents out there, but lets be realistic. how will that player mesh with this core group that the hawks have? unless we get a superstar to come here and j.j. doesnt come back. the hawks go from one of the top teams in the nba to fighting just to get a playoff spot. so to all those people wanting joe johnson to not be a hawk for various reasons, you might want to rethink that.
February 13th, 2010
7:45 am
Guys, be realistic here. There is very little chance of us getting any of Lebron, Wade, or Bosh this offseason. We aren't in a position to make any moves except perhaps resign JJ and possibly upgrade the bench. BTW, I'd love to see us make a run at Haslem. We are committed to Smoove, Marvin, and Horford, and until that changes there isn't going to be any significant moves. Personally, I want to see Sund resign JJ and find a way to bring in a better starting PG. Maybe a Devon Harris if the salaries work out. I just don't see us being able to do much more than that.
If I were dreaming, I'd see about getting DWade to play with JJ and our current starters. Now that would be a sick backcourt!!!
February 13th, 2010

I HAVE A BETTER NICK NAME FOR BIG AI .LETS CALL HIM ( BAM BAM") love it.
February 13th, 2010
8:07 am
My gut feeling is that he leaves. He is a great player. His only short coming is that he is not a leader. But he is a great Hawk.
For those saying if Sund "disrespects" him…. Sund has already offered $15 per year for 4 years which is about the max that he can offer him and not go in to luxury tax.
I say offer as much as we can under the luxury and if he rejects, let him take his game somewhere else. Again, he is a great player that will not easily be replaced.
February 13th, 2010
8:10 am
If JJ leaves, the next best scenario of for Bosh to come. Probably not possible. But what about Ray Allen at a much lower salary and add a defensive minded big man. I love ZaZa but this team needs a tall defensive big man on the bench.
February 13th, 2010
8:34 am
Dap01 could you imagine a back court with Bibby and Allen playing matador defense? That back court will only take 35 seconds for Al and Josh to get in foul trouble each game.
February 13th, 2010
8:40 am
Here's the thing, the Hawks signed Joe to a long term deal when no one else seemed to have a mind to. If the best he can do is repay that loyalty with none comittal answers, maybe he needs wants and needs to be somewhere else.
February 13th, 2010

joe please stay!!
all I can say is please stay
February 13th, 2010

Re-signing Joe Johnson would be an act of agreeing to remain a perennial 2nd Round playoff team. Joe is not Batman he is Robin, therefore, it's no need to pay him Batman money. The Hawks already have Robin on the team and his name is Jamal Crawford. The Hawks need to make a strong push to do a sign-and-trade with Joe. Joe has done all that he is capable of doing as the "star" player. He will not lead the Hawks to the "Promised Land."

Will someone name a 2 guard better than Joe other than Kobe and D Wade? Brandon Roy is not as good defensively. The coaches around the league voted Joe on the All-Star team for the 4th time, not the fan vote-which is a popularity contest. I love Jamal Crawford's game but why has a proven scorer been traded so many times? He has deficiencies, defense being the main one. If the Hawks do not resign Joe then trading him is the next best option. Can't let him walk and get nothing in return.
February 13th, 2010

According to what Hubbie Brown said there is no way you can win a nba title with out atleast 1 nba superstar, the only team 2 achieve that goal with no superstar is the PISTONS with CHAUNCY, HAMILTON, TASHON, WALLACE, THERE YOU HAVE IT NO NBA TITLE FOR YOUR ATLANTA HAWKS.
February 13th, 2010
9:25 am
Some of the suggestions yall are making scare the daylights out of me as a Hawks fan…Bosh as a 3? Jamal Crawford as a PG? Shoot, Jamal Crawford starting is a scary proposition b/c he's nowhere NEAR as good a defender as Joe and he's turnover prone. Why yall think Jamal would be the answer at the 2 continues to baffle me. Joe is our franchise guy & he fits this roster & city well. Humble, quality & consistent. That's Joe Johnson. And he's starting the All Star Game yet some of yall think he can be easily replaced, SMH. Hawks need to do everything they can to bring him back & work on solidifying the bench.

In response to the post by Tony, I understand what you're getting at saying that the Hawks need a facilitator. But, you mentioned a list of players that JJ needs to play next to, and a lot of those guys were PG's. Basically, what you're saying is the Hawks lack a solid PG. Usually, JJ or JAMAL end up dominating possessions because there isn't another guy that can penetrate and create for others. Jamal has the ability to create/penetrate, but isn't much of a facilitator.
This is one of the many reasons we need to develop Teague. You mentioned Aaron Brooks, well, I don't see why JT0 can't duplicate what Aaron Brooks brings to the Rockets. Both have the ability to penetrate which opens things up for others. Brooks may have a better shot at this point and is much better finishing at the rim than JT0 at this point, but if Teague develops – I'd say he'll develop into something similar to Aaron Brooks or Rajon Rondo.
IMO, the Hawks are ONE SOLID PEICE away from taking another step forward. A PG with the abilities of a Chris Paul or a Derron Williams would definately enhance the Hawks chances, but how do the Hawks land a player like that AND retain JJ/Horford? It'd honestly also be interesting to see JJ adjust to playing with a true PG. JJ gets a lot of his points going one on one – dominating possessions. Would he be as effective playing with someone else who needs to have the ball in their hands? I know we were asking many of these same questions when Jamal came. People were questioning whether those two would co-exist, but it's worked out great thus far. Still though, you can't help but wonder how much better or worse the Hawks would be with a TRUE PG.
February 13th, 2010
9:56 am
They'd only be better.
Seriously, a PG whose solid on both ends of the floor, offense and defense, would be a dream-come-true. I'm tired of watching young promising PG's develop year after year while we've been sitting here lacking one for years.
I agree with what Big Ray stated in a post on another blog. Teague will eventually get his PT. Woody's responses to questions about JT0 point to this. I just hope the kid pans out.

We don't have the cap room to make a competitive offer to any of the top tier free agents even with Joe's salary off the books. The best e can do is to keep this team in tact and try to make small moves and see what the ceiling is. Otherwise we will have sold ourselves short on this looooooooooong rebuilding process and we'll be a fringe playoff team.

A.I. should have never been voted an All-Star. With that being said, we should all be very happy for Joe, he deserves to start in the All-Star game.
Congrats Joe!! ATL is proud of you!!

UPGRADE AT PG/SF would help.
Basically, you'd be able to slide either Bibby or Marvin to the bench, and that'd provide a much-needed upgrade to quality bench-depth as well.

Trade JOe along with a '12 draft pick NOW! for Rodney Stuckey and Tyshaun Prince, the hawks problem is that they are all kind of out of shape, nobody could guard nate robinson when played knicks and nobody could guard any body when we played oklahoma city, so we need some athleticism. Teauge Is soft spoken idk if he was the best pick but were stucj with him now so he needs to work on shooting and get much stronger hell be fine. Smith has to do the same get stronger and work on shooting. as far as moves:
Trade joe, 1st round for rodney and tayshaun, sign Brenden Haywood, and either tyrus thoms or Joel Anthony, and draft Stanley RObinson from UConn well be much better than we are now 2 yrs down the rd becuz we have athleticsm:
1: BIbby/Teauge
4:SMith/THomas or Anthony
THats a nice lineup

Joe Johnson is the best thing to happen to the hawks since domonique. It would be crazy to let him go he deserves his money, he is active in the community and never gets in off court trouble which is rare for athletes today. The hawks need a true backup center and need to try to develop jt0 and keep crawford who is the 6th man of the year. ATL was doing nothing until Joe came. If anyone should have not got paid it was marvin williams who is a bust so far doesnt even average 10 pts a game and was the number 2 overall pick.

Joe is good, but he is not a SUPERSTAR, and Joe is not a guard…., he is a small forward…. he cannot guard any elite 2guards in the leauge..and he has to many games where he doesnt show up with games in the low teens for points.Jamal could easily replace him.. but we do need a center …Al hortford is not a center..hes 6ft 8..Hes good but he is a power forward…..How about Joe, Zaza for Montae Ellis and Biedrens right now..I doubt Joe will sign with us anyway….

it seems to me like asg is following the correct plan on the hawks. what more can they do. they had a plan for the hawks, and so far the blueprint is working. this team has gotten better every single year, and they haven't reached their limit yet. every player that they've needed to sign, they got it done! who cares about chills! he's not even a star in intntl ball, it seems that he was at fault, and not the hawks. was he a great player if he couldn't beat out marvin? just throwing money around is not always the answer, esp if you're not in the major media centers. then, you have your la clips, ny knicks, nj nets with all kinds of money, but lousy teams yr. in and yr. out. so imo the spirit group has been very shrewd in their operation of the hawks. as far as the thrashers go, who cares? they never really wanted the thrashers anyway, but it was a package deal, take it or leave it. i expect they'll dump the thrashers like a used condom, within the next 1-2 years. theres just not enough die-hard fans for hockey in atlanta to excell. sure you'll have your occasional sell-out, but nothing long term. i think the hawks have a very bright future, even if they lose j.j. that would be a set-back in the short term, but unimportant in the overall picture.

Jamal Crawford has been an incredible addition for the Hawks. Without him, we wouldn't be in a dogfight with Boston and Orlando for a top 3 seed; we'd be a distant fourth, looking over our shoulder at Toronto and Chicago during March and April. Calling him "The Difference" is absolutely right – he is the difference between us winning 47 games and us winning 55.
But it's incredible that some people actually think that Jamal is in the same class as JJ as a player. They're not. There is not a single facet of the game except drawing fouls in which Jamal is better than JJ. Throughout their careers, JJ has scored more points while shooting a higher percentage from the floor, playing better D, getting more rebounds, and having a better assist to turnover ratio while playing for better teams. There's a reason JJ has 4 All-Star appearances and is about to be an All-Star starter while Jamal and "All-Star" haven't even been mentioned in the same breath in the past decade except by the incredibly basketball-clueless Jeff Schultz.
Jamal is the Hawks' fourth most valuable player, several steps behind JJ, Smoove, and Horford (and this year, it's tough to say which one of those is #1). He is a role player who is asked to come off the bench and be a SuperFlip scorer, not unlike Jason Terry in Dallas. People who think he is capable of doing anything remotely resembling "replacing" JJ clearly did not watch him play during the first 8 years of his career. Part of the reason that he has looked so good this year is that he is drawing way less defensive attention this year than he ever did before. Get rid of JJ and ask him to step up and fill the void, and the Hawks will be in for a very rough year.
Jamal is a good player, and probably the best Sixth Men in the NBA. But he is not someone you want being your lead option.

I really think Amare would be a risky fit in Cleveland. So much of what they do relies on their prowess on the defensive end, and Amare has rarely shown interest in that. Also, Amare has always had the benefit of playing alongside the NBA's best distributor; will he be as effective without Nash around to feed him the ball?

Confidence, is what Smoking Gun Joe Johnson brings to the offensive and defensive end of the court for the Atlanta Hawks.
Not many NBA ALL-STARS BRING QUALITY EFFORTS TO BOTH END OF THE COURT.
While I wouldn't overpay Joe Johnson or any other player (lebron nor kobe); I would do everything in my power as an owner and GM to close a quality deal for a quality player like SMOKING GUN JOE JOHNSON!!!

true and i think it would take Varejao/Hickson or maybe both going back and that would hurt. however, im not sold on any of the Cavs (exception West and the queen being ok) individual defense. they are good at team defense and thats something thats bought into. it scares me b/c its another big coming to town and not just any big. Amare can play along side Shaq at the high post and when Shaq is tired they bring in Z and you have 2 bigs that can shoot. i just dont like it… too much fire power. Nash definitely aided Amare but lets not underestimate his talents and the queen's passing prowess…

The bottom freaking line is Joe doesn't deserve more than 16 mill. He can not carry a team on his own. A lot of the times he does the complete OPPOSITE. Note the Miami game the other night.Joe is a great person and I'd love him to stay, BUT for more than 16 mill? Heeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllll no, Joe. Pack your bags and skedaddle if you want more than that. We'll go get a guy that can handle the ball, not screw with the offensive rhythm, and not lose games for us. Dribble dribble dribble, dribble dribble bad shot/turnover. I think we've seen that enough from you to say you might not even deserve 16.

Confronting Fibromyalgia
By Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa
What does it feel like to live with fibromyalgia? "Imagine last night you drank more wine than you should have but had no water or food. You went to bed late and got up early, feeling stiff, achy, and tired," says Chanchal Cabrera, a British herbalist, fibromyalgia patient, and author of Fibromyalgia: A Journey Toward Healing (McGraw-Hill, 2002). People with fibromyalgia feel that way all the time, she says.
A truly mysterious ailment, fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) involves chronic widespread muscle pain and fatigue. It affects about 2 percent of all Americans and accounts for 10 to 30 percent of all rheumatology consultations. FMS mainly afflicts people between the ages of 35 and 55 and occurs seven to 10 times more frequently in women.
And as if the pain and fatigue weren't enough, a constellation of other symptoms often accompanies the disorder—foggy thinking, sleep disturbances, painful menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), and irritable bowel symptoms—making a clear diagnosis difficult. Although the cause of FMS continues to elude researchers, certain stresses on the body, such as intense exercise, illness, or a traumatic event, appear to intensify symptoms or even bring on the condition itself.
"My fibromyalgia was triggered by a car accident in 1991, when I was a healthy and fit 28-year-old," says Cabrera, now 43 and living in Vancouver, British Columbia. "Within minutes of the impact, my neck and shoulders were in pain, and I had a dull headache. My slow descent into fibromyalgia had begun."
The body blows a fuse
Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, medical director of Maryland's Annapolis Center for Effective Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia Therapies, likens FMS to the body's "blowing a fuse" when its energy account becomes overdrawn. This short circuit results in hypothalamus suppression, Teitelbaum maintains. "The hypothalamus controls sleep, hormonal function, temperature, and autonomic functions such as blood pressure and blood flow," he says. "The hypothalamus uses more energy for its size than any other organ, so when there is an energy shortfall, it goes offline first."
"FMS has no single cause," Teitelbaum says. He surmises that the hypothalamus decreases its protective function in the face of what it perceives as overwhelming stress, which can stem from infection, injury, or a stressful, emotional incident. "FMS patients seem to have genetic differences in the way their hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal regulation handle stress," he says. "As a result, the muscles end up short of energy and in pain."
Is there hope?
Mary Shomon, now an author and patient advocate in Washington, DC, began to have symptoms of FMS at age 34, after two car accidents and numerous other health challenges. Through a holistic approach and alternative therapies, she finally found relief from her symptoms. However, 11 years later she still expresses dismay about the stigma and disbelief she encounters about fibromyalgia—pa...

|Cannabis Dependence: Imaging and Medication Development - 1
|Brief Summary
The Three Aims of this study are:
Hypothesis - Chronic (4 weeks) treatment with 2 g/day citicoline will reduce objective measures of marijuana cue-reactivity, and subjective reports of craving in response to marihuana cues will also be attenuated compared to chronic placebo citicoline treatment.
|Detailed Description
Marijuana dependence is an important public health problem in the United States, yet still no effective therapies are available. It is unclear how marijuana affects brain function after acute or chronic use. Knowing about the changes in brain function during marijuana dependence would aid in the understanding of the neurobiological basis of marijuana abuse and serve as a foundation for the development of new treatment medications for this disorder. New and improved brain imaging techniques, such as functional MRI (fMRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), allow the viewing of these subtle, yet important, changes in brain function.
Citicoline is used to treat victims of head trauma and neurodegenerative disorders. It has been found to be effective in reducing cocaine use and craving, and it has no known side effects. It has also been shown to reduce marijuana use. This is likely due to citicoline's ability to reduce insomnia and craving, act as a mild antidepressant, and improve cognitive function. How citicoline reduces drug use may be related to effects on cerebral blood flow and/or brain phospholipid metabolism in the reward areas of the brain.
This study will determine whether citicoline alters marijuana use patterns, reduces craving, and affects brain phospholipids and metabolism in marijuana-dependent people. The outcome of the study could offer important insights into the pathophysiology and course of marijuana dependence. Furthermore, this study's outcome could potentially relate to other drug dependence disorders.
