Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
i've always been cofused by the cooldowns argument, druids have last stand and a 20% damage reduction and thats it.
we have last stand, shield wall, enraged regen, shield block, the 4pt10 bonus if you have it, and numerous stuns and other mitigation methods. why is it everyone says we have the short end of the cooldown stick?
Last Stand vs. Survival Instincts - both do exactly the same thing, so total wash there
Shield Wall vs Barkskin - 5 min/60% vs. 1 min/20% - It's a toss up depending on your tanking preferences but some would say a more frequently available (5 times as available) cooldown is a better one for raid fights today that require frequent tank swapping.
Glyphed Shield Wall vs. Barkskin - 3 min/40% vs. 1 min/20% - Closer, but Barkskin is still looking better and it doesn't take a Major Glyph to get there.
Glyphed and Talented Shield Wall vs. Barskin - 2 min/40% vs. 1 min/20% - Identical in overall damage reduction, but now you've taken 2 talent points and a Major Glyph to get it that way.
Enraged Regen vs. Frenzied Regeneration - Both give 30% health over 10 seconds, but the Druid version costs some raged.. So technically it's inferior but in practice it's virtually identical.
Shield Block vs.. well, nothing the Druids have. Maybe Savage Defense + Improved Leader of the Pack. Not exactly cooldowns but self healing and damage-absorption are both two very sweet tools to compensate for a lack of block/block-cooldown.
4pt10 Bonus
Druid - Your Enrage ability no longer decreases your armor and instead decreases all damage taken by 12%, and the periodic damage done by your Rake ability can now be a critical strike.
Warrior - Your Bloodrage ability no longer costs health to use, and now causes you to absorb damage equal to 20% of your maximum health. Lasts 0 sec.
Both create tanking cooldowns that would be better in different situations. They're basically a wash, depending on the fight.
The thing is you don't wanna take a soul reaper with only barkskin when the Hellscream buff wasn't as powerful, but with a 2-min 40% you could. As a guy who plays both warrior and druid and have tanked and killed Lk on both I'd want druids to have a minor glyph that makes Barkskin equal to the glyphed and talented SW. Of course the warrior glyph should be a minor one too since it only changes the ability, it does't improve it.

oh look, a caster mob.
whoops, let me just charge and get aggro on it, now intervene back.
oh lets intercept another, shield slam it to put that tasty silence on.
and just for the fun of it heroic throw at another.
and finally make sure you have spell reflect up.
the mobs fear?
thats ok we have beserker rage to solve that every 30 seconds.
the druid version is.....
make sure lacerate doesnt fall off?
get another class to pull it in?
warriors cooldowns arent just about damage mitigation. theyre about utility.
not every fight is going to have a use for every cooldown.
but every cooldown will have a use for a fight.
and more importantly every fight will have a useful cooldown.
every tank class has their particular special cooldowns, most of them have a better version of the warrior ones.
but the most important fact is that warriors have about 80% of the available cooldowns in some form, and alot of them are alot better.
sure a dk has anti magic shell., but warriors have spell reflect, every 10 seconds.
and that beats the complete absence of abilities that druids and pallies have in that area.
ranged silence?
heroic throw, every 1 minute
pallies have a 3 target ranged silence with a talented avengers.
dk's have 1 target with strangulate.
bears get nothing.
warriors have THREE cooldowns.
charge everey 15 seconds, intercept on 30, and intervene, which is 30 secs.
bears only have their feral charge.
pallies only get hand of freedom.
dk's get very little to keep themselves from immobilization.
shield bash 12 seconds.
concussion blow. 30 seconds.
shockwave, multitarget, 17 seconds.
heroic throw, 1 minute.
hell im even a tauren so ill chuck in a 2 minute warstomp.
that means in a 2 minute time period i can interrupt TWENTY THREE TIMES!
thats just stupidly good.
dk's get mind freeze, 10 second cd interrupt.
pallies would have to change seals to do the same.
bears only silence is tied to their stun...
on the topic of stuns...
shockwave, 4 second frontal cone stun. 17 second cooldown.
concussion blow. 30 again.
bears get bash. thats it.
dks dont get any.
pallies can only stun demons and undead, and then only 30 seconds.
intimidating shout, 2 minute cooldown 5 target fear.
pallies can fear undead and demons, and thats all.
getting feared?
beserker rage, 30 second cooldown, 10 second duration.
bears had an equivilent, last time i checked it was a 51 point talent with a three minute cooldown.
noone has disarms?
noone has anything like vigilance.
noone will be passively keeping up a 20% armour reduction.
sure maybe us warriors dont have the newest shiniest set of tools, but we sure as hell have the largest set of them, and im fairly sure they're the most reliable.
Great list of comparisons there Michael. Also dont forget that a bear's only interupt (bash) isnt even off the GCD, so chances are you wont be able to use it in time to interupt that heal/spell before it goes off, unless you stop doing everything just to wait for it.
I have a tank of every class, and the bear is by far the saddest most lacking tank when it comes to utility. Bears have to rely on their group for just about every type of control needed to successfully tank. Even the small number of abilities bears do have to support the group/raid (Innervate, combat res) cant be used in form, which means they cant be used, because shifting out of bear for a second = dead. Its like telling a pally he has to drop all his armour and shield just to put Hand of Protection or Divine Sac on someone.
I laugh bitterly when warriors complain about aoe tanking and how other tanks have it so much better, because they clearly have never tanked on another class and dont know just how good they have it.
thebitterfig said...
@ Grak.
I've tanked DK, Bear (ok, lowbie bear, but the basic mechanics are still there), and Paladin, and warrior AE tanking isn't worse, it's just more... fiddly. Paladins just drop consec on CD, swinging the hammer of righteousness and keeping HS up, all the same things they do in a single-target situation. DK have to hit a few separate keys, but they've got a pretty decent array of abilities, from DnD, to pestilenced diseases, to blood boil, covering any sort of AE situation. Druids have swipe and glyphed maul, which, while not complicated, are practical and with no CD but the GCD on swipe, entirely spammable.
Warriors have the threat, they just need to rotate TC, SW, and talented Revenge, using cleave on melee swings and keeping shield block up and tab-target. The threat is there if you want to fiddle around and do it. The one thing a warrior lacks is something which is less timing-dependent. 6 second TC cooldown means that if you didn't catch a few mobs in that area when you hit the key, they're loose until you single-target hit them down, basically. It works, it's just... fiddly. In the meanwhile, in live, every other tank has some sort of ability designed to prevent timing the ability a little slowly from causing problems. No, simply walking through consec won't make the mob glued to you, but it gets them looking at you first, buys you plenty of time to adjust, same with DnD, and swipe can be hit next GCD.
Again, I've made my peace with it (that and our last-place threat from range). Our superior mobility, our stuns, our anti-caster mechanics, and very capable rack of cooldowns make up for slightly fiddly AE methods.

Beach SexThis one is a stereotypical fantasy. There's just something romantic about having a summer date by the water knowing that it could lead to sex on the beach -- your romp lit only by the stars above. The trouble is sand. Sand gets everywhere. Everywhere! And sand creates friction, and friction ruins sex. Imagine rubbing your penis against sandpaper, and you'll see why this one is better left to the imagination.

London has played a significant role in the development of swimming as an Olympic sport and the venue for the 2012 Games is again a fitting backdrop.
Swimming was part of the inaugural modern Olympics at Athens 1896 where the sport took place in humble surroundings, with a river, the ocean and a lake used in the early Games.
London 1908 marked the first occasion when a pool was used, and 40 years later the city saw another first when the Games returned to the English capital, as the Empire Pool became the first covered pool to be used at the Olympics.
Fast-forward to 2012 and London is again setting new trends, with the swimming being staged in a futuristic-looking Aquatics Centre featuring a distinctive wave-like roof design.
Swimming events at the Games are predominantly based in a 50-metre pool, with eight lanes, although Beijing 2008 also saw open-water marathon races held for the first time.
The sport incorporates four strokes - freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke - and there are a total of 18 different medal events on the Olympic schedule, ranging in distance from 50 metres up to 1500m in the pool and 10km in open water.
As well the individual races, three team relays (4x100m freestyle, 4x100m medley and 4x200m freestyle) form part of the programme for both men and women. And unlike in athletics, where the relay races are held at the end of the programme, in swimming they are staged throughout the meet from the first morning of competition onwards.
Events of less than 400m in the pool include heats, semi-finals and finals, with eight swimmers or teams progressing to battle it out for the medals, while the 10km race is a mass-start event.
As one of the most physically-demanding sports at the Olympics, swimmers need a range of different skills depending on the stroke they are performing. However, the core principle of each event is for an athlete to use their body position to make them as streamlined as possible, cutting down on drag and making them move through the water quickly.
While speed and power are both important, the need to have a good rhythm and powers of recovery are also essential.
The fact that most swimmers compete in more than one stroke and at more than one race distance, as well as racing in the relays, means that some of the top names - such as Michael Phelps of the USA, who won eight golds at Beijing 2008, and Australian Stephanie Rice - can find themselves featuring in anywhere between two and 15 races in the space of just eight days.
How great it was to see yet another sensational teenage swimming athlete [Katie Ledecky - USA] deliver the type of performance the Olympics is famed for, and her performance will hopefully inspire many youngsters to choose sport as a way of expressing themselves.
However, herein lies a bit of a dilemma for John Leonard [USA swimming coach] who was so quick off the mark to very publicly criticise Ye Shiwen. Mr Leonard's previous statement may have damaged the reputation of the sport he loves so and it most certainly would have tainted Ye Shiwen's achievements. A question he should now consider is what would his reaction be should someone from another team want to muddy young Katie's achievement by casting aspersions of a doping controversy in relation to Katie's achivement? No doubt there would be the usual huffing a puffing accompanied by vehement denials.
'Strive to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat'.
John may I suggest you let the experts deal with the doping and let the athlete's enjoy their moment and you can share that without fear of Katie or any other fine Olympian having to look over their or your shoulder in anticipation of unsolicited accusations. Nations as large as the USA and China, with their sporting budgets will inevitably produce great and inspirational sports men and women for the rest of the world to marvel at their achievements.

Drawing At Dinner: Placemats, Tablecloths & Artistic Freedom
I've always been so intimidated by drawing- in fact, I decided to major in Photography because I wanted to do art but was scared to draw! When a friend was teaching me to carve stamps, she said something so eye-opening: the secret to drawing is to just keep drawing. Giving your children unlimited, fun, casual drawing supplies can help them love drawing, and will buy you a little extra time to get dinner done.
- I love so many things about this Mealtime Masterpiece placemat pad from Rocket St. George. First, they look so cool- and imagine how they'd class up your refrigerator! Second, I love the sophisticated, conflicting messages they send kids: greatness is always possible (so you might as well have an awesome frame), but there's always another sheet of paper (so don't get stressed out).
- The Doodle Tablecloth from ThinkGeek can help your kids accept that all things are fleeting, as their masterpieces are washed away in the hot-cycle. But that just means an excitingly blank tablecloth the next night! The tablecloth comes with 8 washable markers, is printed to look like a giant sheet of graph paper, and is, apparently, Dungeons & Dragons compatible. You're all set now.
- Dave Hakkens created the Precious Paper Project, a simple but effective way to help kids (and hesitant adults) drawing. Project 1 is a large roll of white paper printed with silly words (peanut plane, balloon phone) that encourage kids to let loose, while also encourage reading and storytelling. Project 2 is printed with lines and shapes that kids can use as jumping-off points for their own drawings. Project 3 is a roll of blank white paper, with a list of tips & tricks in case all that white is a little too intimidating. The finished paper is intended to be used as gift wrap, making it precious wrapping paper indeed.
- Doodles At Dinner from Uncommon Goods is a bit more structured, perfect for those nights when kids are burnt out from school and aren't up to creating a masterpiece from scratch. Each page contains handy drawing tips, too.
- Finally, the options I would choose (the one I chose for myself, in fact) is simply a roll of kraft paper. Available from Uline and many other places, kraft paper is amazingly cheap. Unlike the placemats which come in packs of 36 or 48, a roll of kraft paper feels unlimited, freeing the young artist from feeling like she only gets a certain number of attempts. If she "messes up", there's always more. Cover the table with kraft paper and let the whole family go to town. If your child is old/coordinated enough, a cutter as shown in the photo would be amazing. She can tear off whatever size paper she needs, creating independence and a nice, clean edge.

I love this! I was really, really into drawing as a kid, so this was my parents' foolproof tool to keep me quiet at restaurants and at church. My favorite place to go was an Italian restaurant with paper tablecloths - I would go crazy with the crayons and create these huge landscapes with aliens and dinosaurs and whatever. My mom actually saved a few! If you have an artistically inclined kid, I think this is a great tool to both foster creativity and encourage good behavior.
I love this post! My parents never really encouraged draw and even though I loved art class I never considered myself an artist until late in college since I hated/"was bad at" drawing. So I majored in sculpture... I also found the more you do it the less painful it becomes.
Now, my son and I draw on magnadoodles every night at bedtime and I love it encouraging him to keep drawing and try it again even at two he does a great job.
Our family loved going to those Italian restaurants with the paper tablecloths, we're a big family, and everyone (except my dad, who claimed to have no artistic skills) would bust out the crayons and draw the hell outta that tablecloth. I usually had to have the crayons wrestled away from me so I would eat. Wish we would have had paper tablecloths at home!
We cover our LONG table with a roll of paper before dinner parties with friends. Out come the pencils and crayons and it makes for some fun times! We've had everything from arty sketching to our kids contributions and impromtu word games like hangman...even dot to dot. Seems everyone likes something in their hands to fiddle with :)

Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all Lords.
Revelation 19:11-16
lying to yourself is a hundred times worse than lying to others. pretending to be someone you're not just to make everyone else happy only increases your unhappiness. admitting that your lying to yourself is the hardest part. but realizing that your happiness matters can change everything…live your life to the fullest, be who you want to be, find happiness, and dont look back

Recently it came to my attention that the word "YOLO," an acronym standing for "You Only Live Once," has become popular with the kids (as in "Fine, I'll do another shot - YOLO!").

YOLO: You Only Live Once
YOLOLO: You Only "LOL" Once
YOTROLOLOO: You Only "Trololo" Once
YOLOLO NOHOMO: You Only "LOL" Once, and I don't mean that in the gay way
YOWO SOSOPOLOS: You Only Wear Orange So-So Polos
"You'll never win the fashion competition. YOWO SOSOPOLOS."

HTC One X used as a hammer and survives
Traditionally, durability tests of electronic devices are conducted through "drop tests", which involves consciously dropping the device on the ground from around 6 feet, then analyzing the damages it has taken. A couple Taiwanese guys decided to take the whole durability test to new level by using an HTC One X as a hammer.
Be forewarned. If you are a proud HTC One X owner, I do not recommend you watching this. It's quite painful to see such a beautifully crafted device hammering down a nail. Certainly the One X was beaten pretty bad, more so than it ever will in its life in someone's pocket, but it goes to show how durable this device really is when used as a tool. There are other factors to test the durability, such as dropping it on a corner, where many devices displays tend to crack, but that can be saved for another day.
The victory definitely goes to the HTC One X with Corning's Gorilla Glass.

What sells the series nationally, though, is James vs. Durant. These two, on full display and at full speed, is the best advertisement this sport has had in a long time.
You can have Derrick Rose. Keep Dwight Howard. Thank Kobe Bryant for the memories. Give respect to this series' secondary stars, Wade and Westbrook.

Then just sit back and enjoy as the two best basketball players on Earth, friends but not right now, spin their personal highlight reels while trying to carry their team as far as a team can possibly go.
Give Game 1 to Durant over James, though narrowly. It was Durant who came on late, with a 23-point second half, on a night when the game gradually slipped away from the Heat.
Miami led by as many as 11 in a first quarter marked by Oklahoma City's skittish, rim-clanking shooting against Miami's more confident strokes. It looked like what it was right then: A young Thunder team in the Finals for the first time against a veteran Heat squad accustomed to this biggest stage and its searing lights.
By halftime, the Miami lead had been carved to seven.
After three quarters, the Heat trailed by one, OKC seizing its first lead with 16.4 seconds left in the quarter on Westbrook's three-point play.
The Heat had led throughout right until then, and yet right then it felt like Miami was hanging on. The decibel levels in the place were head-banging again.
Even losing the Finals opener, the lessons of premature panic are fresh for Miami and its fans, like wet paint.
Wasn't it just the last series when Boston led by three games to two heading back up there and even many Heat fans weren't waiting for a cold body to start spading dirt on the team?
The series before that, Indiana led by two games to one heading back up there and Wade was screaming at his coach on the sideline and South Florida panic was going full-bore.
Miami recovered both times.
Oklahoma City is different, though.
The Heat still has a great chance, but only if Dwyane Wade rediscovers his greatness.

I would be more inclined to do them if:
- Their lockout worked more like random Heroics (i.e., they allowed players to do a week's worth of dailies and not have to think about them the rest of the week).
- Transportation was faster. Dailies - specially those from old content like BC and WotLK - often demand more travel time than I care for.
- The grind wasn't so long to get anything nice. Long grinds are acceptable for dailies that deal with current content, but are not really feasible for old dailies.
- With a few specific dailies, if their best rewards weren't random. I flat out refuse to farm any random rewards.
The way it stands, I might do a few if I'm low on gold or if I'm passing close to where they are offered, but otherwise I don't really care.

Texas Receives "Best Practices" Award for Colonia Program
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently honored Texas with a "Best Practices" award for program excellence in recognition of a program addressing housing needs in the impoverished Texas-Mexico border region.
TDHCA, the Office of Rural Community Affairs (ORCA), and the Texas Secretary of State's Office were recognized by HUD for the administration of the state's Colonia Self-Help Centers Program, a unique self-help initiative designed specifically for colonia residents facing high rates of poverty and severe substandard housing.
HUD cited the Centers for excellence in providing residents with on-site technical and consumer assistance that addresses housing, community development activities, infrastructure improvements, outreach and education. Each offers construction skills training, a tool lending library for self-help construction, housing finance services, credit and debt counseling, grant writing assistance, contract for deed conversion assistance, and a host of other services.
Colonia Self-Help Centers are located in Cameron/Willacy, Hidalgo, Starr, Webb, Maverick, Val Verde, and El Paso counties, serving 28 colonias. An estimated 2,000 colonias exist in the Texas-Mexico border region, with Texas having both the largest number of colonias and the largest colonia resident population in the country.

"some NFL team executives are far less certain of Sam's prospects in the draft this May. Curiously, all of them chose to remain anonymous when discussing their concerns. The fact the comments were offered up without names attached perhaps speaks to how much stock we should put in the speakers."
You can assign stock values as you wish but you should considere that the anonymous executives might simply be unwilling to unnecessarily open themselves to the irrational criticism of the vociferous lgbt community. When negotiating multimillion dollar contracts with players who are unproven at the professional level, owners and executives are notoriously risk-averse.
In a few years we'll know better how Michael Sam compares to the greatest barrier breaker in American history: Jackie Robinson. In the meantime, I'll continue to direct my concern at those who are suffering real injustice and not at those who are wondering how many millions they'll be making (or not making) in America's foremost gambling vehicle, i.e., the NFL.

Ekpe Udoh's book club may be better than yours
Category: Feelgoodery
Five books in and Ekpe's Book Club is still going strong.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Ekpe Udoh has a burgeoning literary society under his domain. Ekpe picks a book and sends copies of it to subscribers via mail. In turn, his readers consume it in fixed chunks and talk it up with Ekpe on Twitter on Tuesday nights. And while many of us have made grand plans to start reading more or join a book club, only to see those plans get lost in the shuffle of our day-to-day life, Ekpe's done an impressive job of planning out and executing on the book club every day. Our own Jon Hartzell chatted with Ekpe at the start of last season about his book club and some of the plans he had for it:
NBA.com: Do you plan to have this run solely through Twitter?
Udoh: I'm just going to stick to the Twitter and if it starts to gain in momentum then we'll see. I want to get to the point when summertime comes I can set up a trip through my corporation to get everybody together in one city. We can rent out a conference room in a hotel to have a day about books and life.
Well, it's summertime and his vision turned into reality.
This past weekend, Udoh convened the group's first face-to-face meeting in Dallas. The participants visited the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, screened a private showing of the The Fault in Our Stars, and met for a discussion over dinner where they compared the movie to the book they had already read. If the stop at the Museum of Nature and Science seems strange, you should know there was a meaning behind the visit. Characters in the book visited the Anne Frank House, so this was a way for the participants in the trip to take a similar educational journey.
Ekpe definitely put some thought into this outing.
The other books the group has read include And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini, The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, and Keep Quiet by Lisa Scottoline. Scottoline herself was a participant in the most recent Twitter discussion when her book was taken up by the club.
Via Twitter, Udoh announced Monday that the group's next read would be Gone Girl and that he expects to tweet out the sign up instructions today.
For more on Ekpe's Book Club, check out a few tweets from the Dallas trip as well as the video that the Bucks made a couple of months ago:

As a member of Ekpe's Book Club, I wanted to comment and say how wonderful we all think he is. Not many people would take this amount of time and effort and resources and put it toward improving the lives and understanding of others. I feel really fortunate to have had the chance to participate.
Thanks for writing about it!

Had a lovely morning down in Roath at the craft and farmers' market, sold lots of pretty things, gave loads of nice cakes away, caught up with a lovely friend that I'd lost touch with, spent some time with my mum and drank lots of tea. Job's a goodun.

Excellent Expo
I met some lovely ladies at the Expo today, and even sold some jewellery :-) The free cake was a big hit with the visitors, so poor Scroticule didn't get much in the way of leftovers.
I was quite pleased with how the stand looked, but had some very helpful tips from one of the ladies who suggested that it wasn't immediately obvious that we design and make our jewellery ourselves. So Beardy is going to take some artistic (artistic being black and white, obviously. Hides a multitude of sins!) photographs of us getting busy in the shed which we can use on some publicity material.
Women's Expo at the University of Glamorgan
Well, the car is loaded with our shop and just enough petrol to get to Treforest, I'm working my way through a pint of tea and gathering the last minute bits and pieces together. Really looking forward to the Expo, hopefully we'll make some sales, but more importantly I hope we'll meet some like-minded designer-makers!
If you're in the Pontypridd area today, why not pop into the Student Union at the University of Glamorgan and come and say hello? And raid the cake stand ;-)

Treatment is uncomfortable near nose but otherwise ok. Swelling lasts upto 5 days but is worth it if it lasts. The effect is amazing at first but doesnt last on me.I had 2 syringes of perlane in June, in nasiol labial folds and they wore off in 4 weeks! I had 2 more with a different clinic 5 weeks ago and they have worn off again! help! I have been having this done for a couple of years now and it used to last 6 to 9 months, what is wrong?
Perlane Doesn't Last on Me Anymore
Treatment is uncomfortable near nose but otherwise...
Very professional and honest advice
Was this review helpful?
Comments (5)
Absorption of perlane and other hylauronic acids has a lot to do with metabolism, so if you've done a lot of exercise recently, or changed diet/lifestyle, that may have something to do with it? I have a very fast metabolism, so perlane only lasts around 4 months in me.
- Reply
Thank you for your reply. I am under stress at the moment and am wondering if it is that after reading your reply. Have you continued with Perlane? or have you tried something else? Thanks
- Reply
Yes try Raddiesse or PMMA (artefil). Best of Luck Dr B
- Reply
Make sure it is not counterfeit perlane!And did you pay much less, if so than it was bogus perlane. Did you seethe package that it came in or did the doctor bring in a syringe only? I guess you can see where I'm going. Ethical practices are hard to control unethical surgeon injectors. Please be careful out there. Retail for 1 syringe of perlane from $750 to $1,000 Regards
- Reply
In June I did not see the packet, but this time, November I went to a reputable clinic and saw the box etc. Can stress or any medical conditions affect it being re absorbed by the body? Is this what is happening? i really don't understand. Do you think i should try a semi permanent product? Raddiesse? Thanks for your help.

Employment Services Review – a YACVic perspective
In their Exposure Draft for Employment Services 2015-2020, the federal government outlines a vision for reforming the job services and income support systems which would have a disproportionate impact on young people.

Federal Welfare Review
The 'McClure' interim report flags significant changes to income support which would affect young people, especially those with disabilities. YACVic calls for much greater stakeholder engagement and a stronger focus on young people's wellbeing and right to a decent standard of living.

Philanthropy and Youth Support

If you work for a community organisation, school, or local government supporting young people, YACVic would like to hear from you! We'd like your thoughts regardless of whether you've received philanthropic grants recently or not.

Enrol to vote: calling all young people.
Enrol before 8pm on Monday 12th August.
The federal election has been called for Saturday September 7th, which is just a month away. A staggering one in four young people (18-25) are not enrolled to vote, which means they're missing out on this valuable opportunity to have their voice heard. If you think that your vote won't count, how about this: the past federal election was decided by just 30,000 votes, yet 500,000 young people aren't enrolled to vote right now. So better get enrolling!
The best way to do it is to go to http://www.aec.gov.au/enrol. It couldn't be easier - you can do it completely online, from your iPhone, where ever.
You'll need a current driver's licence or Australian passport, or failing that someone you know who's on the electoral roll can sign to vouch for your identity. The best bit - you can sign digitally, within the online form. Literally a piece of cake!
Make the most of this chance to have your first vote count!
Check out this video of 2013 Young Australian of the Year Akram Azimi talking about why it's so important to enrol and vote: Akram Azimi for the Australian Electoral Commission
What makes you tweet? Young people's perspectives on the use of social media as an engagement tool
YACVic's research piece, 'What makes you Tweet?', explores young people's use of social media and perspectives about how government agencies and community organisations should use social media to communicate with them. Through a survey of 55 young people, six focus groups and five case studies, the report highlights opportunities for social media to be used as an engagement tool in ways that are empowering, purposefully engaging and inclusive. Inside the full report you'll find case studies from Minus 18, Koorie Youth Council, Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS), Human vs Zombies Victoria Inc., and Banyule Youth Services.

Growing up in regional Victoria – the good, the bad and the transport
Guest blog by Dr Jessie Mitchell, Victorian Rural Youth Services Support and Advocacy Officer at the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria.
When talking about rural and regioinal communities, a common challenge presents itself: how do you draw attention to the higher levels of disadvantage outside of major cities, without losing sight of the great strengths of rural community life? Both issues are important for the 30 per cent of Victoria's children and young people who are growing up in rural and regional areas.

Fans first discovered these up and coming rock stars when Plushgun's hot track "Just Impolite" topped the OurStage Charts. Since then Plushgun has gone on to win awards, magazine features, showcases and CD sampler spots all on the quest to make it big.

Literary festival inaugurated in Kolkata
Kolkata, Jan 9 (PTI) The fourth edition of Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival celebrating the literary spirit of the City of Joy was inaugurated today.
Instead of the usual lighting of a lamp, the festival was inaugurated at the Victoria Memorial by West Bengal Governor M K Narayanan who unveiled a ''patachitra'' (scroll painting) made by Gurupada Chitrakar, an artist from West Midnapore district.
Narayanan said that literary festivals regrettably ignored the work of Indian authors writing in regional languages.
"It looks odd. We have two dozen Indian languages some of which are even a thousand years old. But it seems that this priceless heritage has been missed out by literature festivals," he said.
He suggested that the linguistic diversity and the multi-cultural secularism of India should be reflected in such events.
Festival director Maina Bhagat said, "It is a festival where we try to connect the written word with the world of performing arts."
Eminent filmmaker Shyam Benegal, who was present, summed up the 100 year history of Indian cinema.
The five-day AKLF is being held at various venues including historical places like Victoria Memorial, St John''s Church and the Lascar Monument.
It would commemorate the birth centenary of legendary Pakistani writer Sadat Hasan Manto with a special performance by the National Academy of Performing Arts, Karachi.
A special tribute would be paid to late Bengali litterateur Sunil Gangopadhyay, who passed away in October.
The events would be participated by authors like Ramchandra Guha, Leila Seth, Shobha De and Yasmeen Premji, who has launched her debut novel ''Days of Gold and Sepia''.
International representation would include acclaimed Scottish writer and historian William Dalrymple, British author Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, French author Kenize Mourad, German authors Katy Derbyshire, Dorothy Elminger and Inka Parei.
Hindi film posters collected over the last few decades by Priya Paul, chairperson of Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels, were being exhibited at the Park Hotel as part of the festival. PTI NIK PC ZMN

Selecting perfect groom's wear
In Indian context a wedding is always a grand celebration. Besides being an amalgamation of culture, tradition and rituals, it is also about color, fun and frolic when everyone is dressed in their best attires. Bride and groom's wedding dresses hold special importance in a wedding ceremony. Although it is the bride's attire that receives most hype, men's wedding style is catching up fast.
Today, leading fashion designers of India are launching exclusive men's wedding garments in wide varieties. They have taken the concept of men's clothing to a great new height. Experiments and innovations are taking place in cuts, styles, designs, materials and patterns.
For modern, fashion forward grooms the choices for men's wedding collection is wide. They can choose from ethnic Indian wedding outfits like – sherwani, or settle for blazer and jackets if they prefer western style.
The selection of wedding dress however should depend on preferences, body type, nature of celebration, and of course, weather. As winter has approached scopes to experiment with heavy fabric and embellishment have improved. Even one can wear full velvet jackets with heavy embroidery for a winter season wedding.
For Indian men, sherwani remains the most favorite and common choice of wedding dress. One can go for a full-length or short-length sherwani depending on one's body type. Full-length sherwani looks better if you are well-built and gifted with tall stature. Mid-length and short lengths normally look good on everyone. Since Indian winter is mild, one can select silk, brocade or jacquard material. Wedding collection for men also showcase wide range of accessories to be paired with the dress.

Casa Till, Chile by WMR Arquitectos | via
Architects Felipe Wedeles, Jorge Manieu and Macarena Rabat, founders of WMR, set out to create a stylish, yet simple home inspired by the previous works of their architectural firm. WMR's German clients wished to design the building so as not to disturb the natural skyline, or even be visible from the road. The result is a long and low single story wooden construction. It's hard angles and straight lines create a striking contrast to the voluptuous landscape, but the building remains dwarfed by the mountainous terrain. The extended roof shelters a huge, gravity defying sun terrace partially built on stilts and overhanging the cliff edge. By using locally sourced Pine wood as the main building material, highly skilled local labor for the dangerous construction, and solar panels to provide electricity, the ecological footprint of Casa Till is as small as it's spare silhouette.
The overall character of the home is found in it's clean, taut lines, and the feeling of spaciousness WMR created in the relatively low square footage. The open floor plan employs a system of sliding walls, allowing for flexible room sizes and privacy levels. A large bank of floor to ceiling windows allow the enormity of the environment to create a feeling of space, and enrich the living areas with ever changing hues of the sea's panorama, as a contrast to the light earthy tones of the interior.

I wonder if we'll ever see Universal relinquishing the rights to Disney. I doubt there's a dollar figure that would ever do it, but possibly the useage of some other IP would offer Universal enough incentive. At the moment though I think Disney has enough other underused IP they could develop in their parks without using Marvel.
What if they removed the Toon section in IOA and expanded the Marvel section. It should be a easy fix to convert the existing rides to a Marvel theme. They have a stage that can host a Marvel show.
Disney is skirting on the edge of the licensing deal. It is quite a feat to not be in violation. Perhaps Universal should send a cease and desist letter and state that the compromise should be a screening at IOA at no cost to Disney.
The Avengers on Disney XD did just do an episode involving the Guardians of the Galaxy both fighting Galactus...who also happens to be a villain in the Fantastic Four (also present at Marvel Island)
Does that open Disney up to violate the contract?
One interesting note - while it does appear Disney is free to create attractions based on Marvel characters at will west of the Mississippi, Disney will not be able to use the word Marvel is association with any of those attractions as long as this agreement is in force (and if you look at the Disneyland website for Innoventions, you don't see the word Marvel used even once in the listed Marvel character associated items). Also, they would not be able to create a 'Marvel' land, at least not with the word Marvel in the name. This does not apply outside the US from what I can tell (ie assuming the worldwide provisions of the contract have expired, they can do anything including the use of the word Marvel at the International parks, just not in any of the US parks).
On the note of the simulator ride in the article, I don't believe that matters for the purpose of Disney doing the Guardians of the Galaxy preview within Disney World, as that applies specifically to the section of the contract specifying the use/non-use of characters/rides in a potential retail concept that Marvel was apparently considering called The Marvel Action Universe (or similar), and would have necessarily (by the definition of the contract) be a separate entity from another theme park. That entire section of the contract (4) wouldn't apply to what may or may not happen within Disneyland, as it is specific to this retail concept.

Pitted Dates
Certified: Gluten-Free Kosher
A delicious date containing no pits. These deglet noor dates are ideal for baking and great just to pop in your mouth.
Health Tips
2. Dates provide essential vitamins and minerals - such as B-complex vitamins, magnesium and iron. Only a handful of dates - five or six - will help you meet your 5-A-Day goal for fruit.
3. A handful of dates will help you meet the 5-A-Day goal. Five to six delicious California dates or a cup of chopped dates equals one serving. Great tasting, power-packed California dates are part of the USDA Pyramid's food group. Eating California dates can help you achieve the recommended goal for fruit servings each day.
4. The American Cancer Society recommends that you consume 20-35 grams of dietary fiber a day. Dietary fiber comes in two forms - soluble and insoluble. Each serves a valuable function. Insoluble fiber increased the rate at which food moves through the digestive system. Soluble fiber may help control diabetes by decreasing elevated blood glucose levels. Soluble fiber also had been found to help lower serum cholesterol levels, particularly undesirable loud density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. California dates are a good source of dietary fiber. A serving of power-packed California dates - just 5 to 6 six dates - can provide 3 grams of dietary fiber. That's 14 percent of your recommended daily value.
5. A serving of power-packed California dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates, making them a powerhouse of energy. Carbohydrates include 3 grams of dietary fiber and 29 grams of naturally occurring sugars such as fructose, glucose and sucrose to provide quick energy and are readily used by the body. California dates are a perfect energy boosting snack.
6. Ounce per ounce, pound for pound, California dates are one of the best natural sources of potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral your body needs to maintain muscle contractions including the vital heart muscle. Potassium is needed to maintain a healthy nervous system and to balance the body's metabolism. Since potassium is not stored in the body, and much is lost in perspiration, it must be continually replenished. As you consume potassium you excrete sodium, helping to keep blood pressure down. As people age, their kidneys become less efficient at eliminating sodium. About a 400 mg increase in potassium intake has been associated with a 40% reduction in the risk of stroke. This roughly amounts to one additional serving daily of California dates.
7. Eating California dates and drinking water is an ideal, natural way to replenish the potassium. A serving of California dates contain 240 milligrams of potassium or 7% of the recommended daily value. Bite for bite, they have three times the amount of potassium as bananas!
8. California dates contain a variety of B-complex vitamins - thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6 and pantothenic acid. These vitamins have a variety of functions that help maintain a healthy body - to metabolize carbohydrates and maintain blood glucose levels, fatty acids for energy, and they help make hemoglobin, the red and white blood cells.
9.Magnesium is essential for healthy bone development and for energy metabolism. One serving of California dates provides 4% of the suggested daily intake of magnesium. Iron is essential to red blood cell production. Red blood cells carry all the nutrients to cells throughout the body. One serving of California dates contains nearly a third of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for iron.

"My 5 lbs of pitted dates arrived today and I was very anxious to try them. I want you to know that I hit every supermarket that sold dates and they were terrible (very hard and dry). I thought about going online and was pleasantly surprised to see that they were sold online so I thought I would give it a try. Let me tell you that these dates are very delicious and actually soft and moist. I couldn't believe it. I bought a 5 lb bag and I will enjoy nibbling on them. Thank you very much. Eating these dates reminds me of my childhood when my mother always had them in the house and they were a treat for the family. Brings back only good memories!
