Siva Vaidhyanathan
1. Copyright touches more, but protects less than ever before. (see e.g. pirated DVDs on Canal St.)
2. How night we insure how (c) can protect investment and still protect speech
3. To what extent can we rely on fair use. Is it the best vehicle for protecting speech when it's really only an american thing.
Allan Adler (Assoc. of American Publishers)
Overclaiming. There's been a lot of overclaiming about the difficulties that fair use poses to culture and overclaiming about the problems of the public domain.
In the world of Washington, (c) is synonymous with Hollywood. In terms of political baggage, it carries a lot of negative connotations that makes DC people uncomfortable and spills over into their view of copyright. Publishers are thought of a backwater industry that hasn't adopted new technology and not as the original reason for copyright. Forget that publishing is a promoter of speech values.
In DC, we usually think of copyright only in terms of the film (and occasionally record) industry. (c) protects the value of original creative expression. Fair use isn't merely protecting the convenience of someone who wants to put his cd on his ipod.
Fair use per se? If all educational uses are free, what happens to the textbook market? Right of access to a particular copy in the format of choice? Where does that come from– Congress has never said that and the courts have explicitly rejected that (Universal v. MP3?) These are interpretations that have no foundation in law, public policy or original intent of copyright law.
Now we hear about fair use in Congressional hearings about making a copy of a new CD to provide to the 20 people on the x-mas list. They're not competing with the seller and introducing it into the market– but fair use was never about that, either.
Lessig talked about a lot of heavy words– consumer, culture. Publishers rely a great deal on fair use.
Lots of talk about the problems with DMCA, but the DVD wouldn't exist if not for the DMCA. We have this flood of culture because of all the economic incentives. There is a torrent of creativity because of all the economic value there.
US can no longer support its economy solely on manufacturing. Most of our jobs are the direct result of IP law. NYC is the capital of book publishing. We're in a school of journalism. How can you get a job as a journalist without the protection of copyright?
If some (c) owners go too far in protectionism, it's not that much of a big deal.
The anti-copyright movements haven't taken off, because most Americans really only care about consuming and most people are satisfied by what the marketplace offers. The marketplace allows consumers to make choices. If you ask the gov to step in an regulate, you're not going to like the results.
Should Congress rewrite fair use to make it more specific, and all said no. Some because they want to rely on the flexibility to be able to invoke fair use perhaps in some cases where it didn't fit the original intent of the drafters; others because they don't want to grant away specific rights.
Ultimately, fair use is not going to change too much. Our perceptions of it may evolve, but there is no momentum DC to rewrite the law. What we need to start doing is look at these differently to recognize that there is a tremendous diversity of interests involved here. There may be no definite resolution, but the flexible fair use concept seems to work well today (And this flexibility keeps DC lobbyists in business ;)). This will continue to be rewritten as technology advances, while Congress and the courts lag behind the tech. Gap between original intent of the law and the way it works in practice may not be bad.
Hugh Hansen (Fordham Law)
There's really nothing going on in fair use on the international level. People who want more access would love to have it. In the civil law countries, rights are written affirmatively into the law– no flexibility.
law here is flexible and driven by judges. This is much more protective of free speech than the code countries.
The controlling mechanism of copyright is in courts, not in COngress.
The law hasn't changed as much as the behaviors enabled by technology. New technology reallocates the transaction costs. Technology doesn't sit on one side of this debate.
The only people with worse PR than the record industry is the Taliban. We have music publishers who take pride in the fact that they won't license for the internet. On the other side, Richard Stallman jumps up at a conference and says that everything should be copied. It's very easy to use anecdotes to get things on your side. Shouldn't the martin Luther King estate be allowed to refuse to license to skinheads?
Just grow up and deal with it. Some industries (particularly documentary films) need protection, but generally, the small creators sitting in a small lifeboat in a digital sea don't really get affected by the law [until they get sued, that is]. But the market generally works pretty well.
What we tend to do is polarize that all good is on one side, but that's not really the case. The trouble with smart people– particularly economists– is that they often don't have any judgment. Publishers are generally adverse to litigation because it's really expensive.
Access to information is great. Rejoice in it. There may be problems, but they are not so dramatic that we have to change the whole system.
Vaidhyanathan (to Lessig): As an academic, you've stated that fair use is a distraction from thinking about how (c) works in the perfect world, but as an advocate, you assert fair use as a defense in the Google Library case. Can you envision a better regime for user rights? In ten words.
Lessig: Is there a tension? my view is that the system is not functioning well, because we are all asking the wrong questions. The academics should look at the bigger picture. But as advocates, we use the tools we ahve available. Those who say that there is no problem out there don't get all the prospective cases that we do at the Stanford clinic.
The practical problem is that the middlemen in the process realize that lawyers are expensive and are rational to take a conservative, risk-averse position, so the actual bounds of fair use in practice are less than the extent in the law.
Hugh talked about the disconnect between non-commercial and commercial uses. Lessig wants the non-commercial uses to be legal. That would change the way we can teach. It's legal to create something in a classroom that mixes the works of Shakespeare and Hemmingway, but its copyright infringement to create something in the same classroom that mixes the works of George Lucas and Alfred Hitchcock. We should encourage this creativity instead of saying that its criminal, but it won't be prosecuted.
Vaidhyanathan (to Adler): Is there an underappreciation of fair use by your clients (the publishers)? Many authors quote other works, but it's their own publishers who insist on expensive clearances (borne by the author) instead of relying on fair use?
Adler: Publishing industry is tremendously risk averse. Letters are often written not because of what the publisher thinks, but because of what the authors think. Some authors don't want their works to be exerpted and taken out of context.
Maybe the law would be better if people tried to use it more and don't worry so much about getting sued. Does a film studio or record label really need the publicity that would result from suing a sixth grade class. There are very few federal court decisions on fair use.
Vaidhyanathan: but there are.
Adler: There may be lawsuits or demand letters, but not decisions. There are very few decission. If you stand up in court to defend fair use, that's how revolutionize the law. There's been no champion for fair use in the court.
Vaidhyanathan: Should we have moral rights protection here (ala King estate example)? If we had it here, how would that affect fair use?
Hansen: It's generally the heirs [link to Miro/Google] who don't have to work as artists again who assert moral rights.
Publishers are very conservative. Lessig had the problem when dealing with his publisher. His publisher told him that he couldn't quote as much of an article by Courtney Love as he wanted to, but he (the He
The reality is there is a middleman who decides what right you'll stand up for– it's a sound business decision.
Audience Question: Should we establish a statutory rate for fair use quoting? It works well for record labels when dealing with music publishers for recording cover songs. (§115)
Adler: You could go in that direction if you want to let the trains run on time, but then you're taking the value off the market.When has Congress ever made a right decision about the market?
Siva: Some works will be undervalued with a flat price and others will be overvalued. A Paul Simon song is undervalued when its at the same rate as a song by Siva's cousin.
Adler: THe public places different values on works by different artists. why should the government come in and say that all works have the same value per content.
Lessig: It's ridiculous that you can record a cover song because the record industry has said that it's central to the vibrant market. But on the other side, taking a sample from a recording is prohibited by the law [6th Cir.] Why does the government intervention that promotes the most creativity?
Hansen: When parties have been unreasonable, they look to the government to step in and fix the problem. ASCAP v. Girl Scouts. Maybe if (c) owners remain unreasonable, then perhaps we do need government intervention.
Audience Question: Authors quote pop songs often as epigraphs of a novel. It's completely normal for an editorial to tell the author to seek a copyright clearance. Do you think that this is an area where the author should stand up to be a champion for fair use? [Sounds like someone is looking for free legal advice…]
Adler: If the industry colludes to do this all together, that's an anti-trust problem. But if each publisher does this, it would do something. The GC might say, I have better things to do than bother with this.

[Comedies of Fair Use] Lawrence Lessig
It's hard to take notes about Lessig's presentation because he actually uses his slides well– to add context and not merely to duplicate the text of his talk. But this is a blog– where it's just as good to do something quickly as it is to do it well:
Testifying before Congress, JP Sousa lamented the development of mechanical music reproduction, which would kill the culture of sitting around and singing popular and traditional songs.
With analog works, standard, everyday uses by citizens are unregulated (read, etc.). A small sliver of uses that involve copes
1. regulated uses (distributing mass copies)
2. fair uses (quoting a book in a review)
3. free uses (reading, loaning, the everyday uses by individual citizens)
New digital/internet culture
Two very different internet cultures evolving.
1. Read only culture (RO)
-Extraordinary empowered by these techs to buy and consume culture produced elsewhere. eg: Apple iTunes, pay-per-read ebooks.
-Offers perfect control over how people consumer– the couch potato culture
2. The read-write/internet culture (RW)
-blogger, flickr, 6apart, myspace
-consumers don't just consumer, but create and share creativity.
-anime music videos (redits anime movies to create music videos. I know what we're doing for our next video…)
-grey album, bush-blair, bush:hard work. (link to this)
It is a part of literacy now–
57% of teenagers created and shared "content" themselves and share it on hte internet. How they speak and think.
Anyone with a $1500 computer can do this. [just so long as they have 1500 to get a computer.]
It's the same kind of speech people engaged in before, just using different tech to facilitiate this kind of speech. Differently empowered speech.
Freedom to speak.
Copyright law on the internet serves to promote the vision of the read-only culture on the internet. In the analog world, (c) owners couldn't control these normal everyday uses.
If the law controls copies, in the digital world, those normal uses create copies, and so the amount of uses that are regulated by (c) law increase to include most uses.
DRM tech perfects control of how culture gets consumed– promotes the RO culture.
The RW culture conflicts with (c) law.
This culture makes use of copies as part of the normal (non distributive) uses
But the law presumptively regulates copies, so uses are presumptively illegal and permission is not coming.
At a fair use conference, Lessig comes out against fair use.
World with fair use is better than one without.
But, fair use shifts the debate over the important questions about how culture gets regulated.
Shifts attention away from free use.
In a world where every use is a copy, the free uses because presumptively regulated.
So then, why do we have to justify any freedom to use this.
It's a very bad thing that the law regulates as broadly and presumptively as it does.
Quoting Prof. Litman: in the digital world, (c) law touches everyone and everything.
Discussion of fair use obscures the fundamental question: "why regulate at all?"
The second problem with fair use is that it ignores the costs.
Fair use is expensive. 4 factor balancing test is not too easy. There are no clear simple rules in fair use.
This is law written for lawyers– complex, uncertain. It's harmless where it's big companies that can afford (good for lawyers). When applied just by lawyers, it is decided rationally.
But it's not just lawyers in court anymore. It's any idiot with a computer.
Lawyers kill markets for creativity because of the uncertainty to the process.
Difficulty of acquiring rights to uses makes it difficult. e.g. films at Sundance needing to clear music rights. By leaving uncertainty, it drives away creativity (through risk-aversion) and makes it difficult (if not impossible) to sell marginally commercial (non-mass market) creative works.
See Patry & Posner- Fair Use and Statutory Reform in the Wake of Eldred
Incentives for (c) owners to overclaim their rights and the costs to creativity– not only the $$, but also prevents release of works by risk-averse creators.
We tend to focus on the $$ cost and not the threats to free speech.
Lessig feels blue.
What solution?
System of fair use is ridiculous for regulating this kind of speech
But we live in a culture where to question the foundation of IP law is to be called a communist– IP McCarthyism. Anything other than incremental change is a non-started in DC
Some ideas to mitigate the problem:
Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use (previous reference)
Stanford CIS Fair Use Project
Free Speech Insurance Cooperative and "fair use" insurance liable claims.
What we really need is some way of overcoming the insanity of these ways of regulating access to speech.
(c) law is necessary, but it shouldn't extend beyond what is necessary (and threates free speech values)
We need a clear line (an affirmative fair use carve out) and limit the speech regulation to what is necessary and leaving the rest to be free.
The one thing Lessig agrees with Jack Valenti on is that the cost of the current copyright law is the creation of a generation of criminals. The morality expressed in the use of speech by children in a way that is against the law. Producing a generation of kids look to the law and see the law as an "ass." And avoid the law and disengage from the idea that the law matters. There is great harm produced by this attitude towards the foundational rule of law in this country. [The broken windows theory of copyright.]
Comedies of Fair Use
I'm here blogging live (on tape) from the Comedies of Fair Use at NYU.
These posts are written in real time and represent notes, more than polished thoughts. But since there's no WiFi signal here, you're getting them on tape delay.
Why Oppose Net Neutrality?
An anti-net-neutrality coalition launched their lobbying site at Hands of the Internet. The best argument on their side: regulation is bad for the internet. THe internet has developed so quickly to what it is today because of the lack of regulation. Any new neutrality regulation will be burdensome and onerous for the pipe owners who will be prevented from making money by such a regulatory scheme.
The advantage of a non-neutral internet (to broadband service providers, that is) is the ability to offer premium services and not simply internet access. Why compete and speed and reliability when you can compete by offering premium services that cost less to implement and offer more potential value to consumers. Let's take a quick trip to the sales pitch in the hypothetically non-neutral internet:
- Consumers…
- Want access to online video? You could download video that with your 5 MB/sec Broadband Basic connection, but for only an additional $7.99/month, you can have FastLane access to video that will let you watch video from our premier content partners (including NBC, Microsoft and MTV) at high-resolution.
- -Want to connect to your office securely? For only $12.99/month more you can run a secure VPN connection.
- Want to use VoIP? On our standard connection, all VoIP packets are blocked, but for only $7.99/month, you can make unlimited voice chats through your computer, or for only $11.99/month, you can connect a standard phone and talk for 1000 minutes per month with no long distance charges.
- Want to download software updates? For an additional $4.99/month, you can use the FTP and BitTorrent protocol on your connection.
- Instant messaging is free to other CableCo users!*
*Note: premium connection fees ($0.10/message) may apply to IMs sent to users of other ISPs.
ISPs look enviously at the business of the wireless carriers, who can charge premium rates for access to premium services on their wireless networks, like access to audio/video or news and sports scores. And those wireless networks are resulting in an unprecedented sharing of creative media by individuals. Oh wait, that's the free internet. The advanced services offered by wireless carriers at advanced prices are rarely used. The NY Times reports: Video Handsets Mostly Just Used as Phones
Cellphone companies, especially Sprint and Verizon Wireless, have been aggressively promoting mobile video services, which cost an average of $10.70 a month for access to sports, news and weather clips. More than a quarter of cellphones now in use can play such videos. But only 1 percent of wireless subscribers are using their phones to watch them, according to a recent survey by the NPD Group, a market research firm.
Decisis: "Net Neutrality", the cable industy, universal Wi-Fi, and the collective wisdom embodied in stock prices: "Now, maybe a bundle-happy, cash-ascendant cable industry and net neutrality coexist happily together and I'm being silly to even post on this, and really there's just no conceptual connection. . ."
Will new net neutrality regulation allow the information economy to evolve as freely as it has over the last decade or will such regulation merely freeze the internet in 2006?
Did the internet develop so well because it was first delivered to households through the common carrier phone lines? Or did the internet develop slower than it would have otherwise because telephone companies were prevented from innovating because of the common carrier regulations?
Interesting Miscellany
Here are some recent links of interest from around the web on various topics:
Copyright term and the public domain
Raizel Liebler, LibraryLaw Blog: The Tale of One Bunny, Copyright Statements, & Public Domain: A Cautionary Tail: "This intellectual property cautionary tale starts because I was puzzled by the copyright notice in a historical mystery novel. Published in the United States in 2004, 'Tale of Hill Top Farm' by Susan Wittig Albert is based on the life of Beatrix Potter and includes references to many of her famous characters, including Peter Rabbit, his friends, and relations."
Photography and Copyright fair use, Trademark fair use, Right of privacy/publicity
Lien Verbauwhede, WIPO: Legal Pitfalls in Taking or Using Photographs of Copyright Material, Trademarks and People: "Photographers and users of photographs face certain risks when taking and publishing photographs. This article provides an overview of the general legal principles applicable to taking photographs of copyright works, trademarks and people." (Via I/P Updates.)
Copyright and search
Fred von Lohmann, EFF Deep Links: Copyright v. Indexing, Part 1: TorrentSpy: "A prediction: the world of copyright law is about to collide with the world of digital indexing and search, and the collision will be among the most important digital copyright issues of the next several years."
Trademark and corporate formation/naming
Martin Schwimmer, The Trademark Blog: Why Did I Get A Demand Letter If I Was Allowed To Incorporate Under That Name?: "The problem is that a corporate name is the name that the Secretary of State (which oversees incorporation in a state), allocates to a legal entity, after conducting an idential or near-identical search of the name, in that state. The availability of a corporate name means only that there is no other legal entity by that name in that state, and there is no trademark significance to this fact…"
Copyright, music and mixtapes
Record store owner Alan Berry in the NY Times on mixtapes: The Tale of the Tapes: " Illegal products should not be sold. But it's disingenuous for the recording industry to compare hip-hop mixtapes to a bootleg recording of, say, a Dave Matthews Band concert. After all, mixes aren't bootlegs at all— they're advertisements."
Hilden on TV Networks Indecency Challenge
Julie Hilden, Findlaw's Writ: Four Major Television Networks Challenge the FCC's Regulation of Indecency Why Modern Technology Has Made This Always-Dicey Area of Law Obsolete: "In this column, I'll explain why indecency law has always been on extremely tenuous ground, from a constitutional perspective. I'll also explain why – thanks to modern technology — the Supreme Court might finally take the networks up on their invitation to make indecency law a historical relic, in order to make way for a more robust information age."

Blogging about conferences about blogging
Last week, Joe Gratz and David Maizenberg blogged the Blog Law and Blogging for Lawyers Conference. Conference organizer Cathy Kirkman recaps.
This week, The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law is hosting a symposium on Bloggership: How Blogs Are Transforming Legal Scholarship. The papers that will be presented at the symposium are available at SSRN
Blogging isn't the subject, but LawMeme blogged the Access to Knowledge conference at Yale last weekend.
There's no conference involved, but John Gruber is taking his excellent and thoughtful Mac-centric blog, Daring Fireball full time. He discusses the Catch-22 of successful blogging: Initiative: "What I've concluded, though, is that if I want to make a full-time income from Daring Fireball, I need to just do it full-time. I.e. that it's not going to work the other way around — to wait for the revenue to burgeon and then start putting full-time effort into it."
Impeachment Redux?
Elizabeth Holtzman, The Nation: The Impeachment of George W. Bush: "Finally, it has started. People have begun to speak of impeaching President George W. Bush–not in hushed whispers but openly, in newspapers, on the Internet, in ordinary conversations and even in Congress. As a former member of Congress who sat on the House Judiciary Committee during the impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon, I believe they are right to do so."
Lewis Lapham, Harper's Magazine: The Case for Impeachment: "That President George W. Bush comes to power with the intention of invading Iraq is a fact not open to dispute. Pleased with the image of himself as a military hero, and having spoken, more than once, about seeking revenge on Saddam Hussein for the tyrant's alleged attempt to "kill my Dad," he appoints to high office in his administration a cadre of warrior intellectuals, chief among them Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, known to be eager for the glories of imperial conquest."
Garrison Keillor, Salon.com: Impeach Bush: "But torture is something else. When Americans start pulling people's fingernails out with pliers and poking lighted cigarettes into their palms, then we need to come back to basic values. Most people agree with this, and in a democracy that puts the torturers in a delicate position. They must make sure to destroy their e-mails and have subordinates who will take the fall. Because it is impossible to keep torture secret. It goes against the American grain and it eats at the conscience of even the most disciplined, and in the end the truth will come out. It is coming out now."
Michelle Goldberg, Salon.com : Bush's impeachable offense: "Yes, the president committed a federal crime by wiretapping Americans, say constitutional scholars, former intelligence officers and politicians. What's missing is the political will to impeach him."
Also in Salon, Constitutional scholars Mark Tushnet, Jack Rakove, Michael J. Gerhardt and Cass Sunstein discuss impeachment in a series of essays: The I-word.
SCOTUSblog: From a village green…: "By a paper ballot vote of 121 to 29, according to news accounts, the town meeting approved the last item of scheduled business on the agenda, Article 29…'Therefore, the voters of the town of Newfane ask that our representative to the U.S. House of Representatives file articles of impeachment to remove him from office.'"
Caching and Copyright
In Parker v. Google, No. 04 CV 3918 (E.D. Pa. 2006), District Judge R. Barclay Surrick ruled that automatic caching of Usenet posts is neither direct or contributory copyright infringement.
When an ISP automatically and temporarily stores data without human intervention so that the system can operate and transmit data to its users, the necessary element of volition is missing. The automatic activity of Google's search engine is analogous. It is clear that Google's automatic archiving of USENET postings and excerpting of websites in its results to users' search queries do not include the necessary volitional element to constitute direct copyright infringement.
William Patry: Parker v. Google: "The direct infringement holding in Parker may be a very welcome harbinger that courts are becoming more realistic about the way the Internet works and moving, finally, away from the misreading of 'copy' perpetuated by MAI v. Peak."
Kevin Delaney, The Wall St. Journal: Google Wins Copyright Battle; Archiving Issue Is Still Unclear: "Some legal experts said the ruling, issued last week in a case brought by Internet publisher Gordon Roy Parker in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, could influence judges in other cases pending against Google, potentially bolstering the Internet company's legal defenses. Those cases include high-profile suits brought last year by writers and publishers and by the Agence France-Presse news agency alleging that Google's services violate copyright."

About Ottawa
Ottawa hotels offer a taste of Canada's capital, a scenic, cosmopolitan city that is often forgotten in favour of the French elegance of Montreal and Quebec. But there's plenty to discover from the hotels in Ottawa, with an intricate network of canals and locks to explore, the fantastic National Gallery and the Byward Market, a foodies' paradise of gourmet stalls. The hotels in Ottawa mirror the fusion of French and English cultures at play in the city, ranging from upscale modernity to a classic French style chateau. Ottawa holidays show true Canadian charm, in the unique province of Ontario.

With wide deployment of optical transport networks and the emergence of bandwidth-intensive applications, the idea of multicasts and groupcasts in optical networks stems from the ability to set up optical point-to-multipoint (multicast) and multipoint-to-multipoint (groupcast) sessions in wavelength-routed networks. As the technology for intelligent optical networks grows, optical groupcast applications (such as grid computing, distributed interactive simulations, multimedia-rich interactive services, virtual private network services, personal–customized content authoring services, and Ethernet LAN services) will become widely popular. In this paper we introduce the concept of groupcast routing and wavelength assignment (GC-RWA) and evaluate the performance of GC-RWA for light-forests corresponding to the groupcast sessions, when these light-forests are composed of lightpaths and light-trees.

New Potatoes
As our vacation is rapidly coming to a close, it always seems like the weeks away from work, school, other obligations, etc... are the ones that go the quickest.
Such a sad fact of life, but one we all have to live with. I guess it really rings true that "time flies when you're having fun".
Fun is definitely what we've been having. (FYI, this is totally Andy's first ever blog appearance! I figure he might as well be put on here, because the blog is basically about him, kinda sorta!)
Andy and I have been getting to spend a lot of time with eachother, without having to work around our differing work/school schedules. Yesterday we went down to Slade, KY and visited Red River Gorge.
It's absolutely beautiful down there. And we almost didn't get there. Andy decided that he would try to remember how to get there without a map, and let's take into consideration he hadn't been down to the Gorge in about 10+ years.
Yeah, you can see where this is going. We ended up taking an exit nowhere near where we were supposed to be, which led us to taking an impromptu tour of the Kentucky amish and redneck country for about 45 minutes before we ended up back on the highway. Yeah... I was not amused.
But through hell and high water, we arrived at our destination, later than we had hoped, but still in one piece and without any reenactment of the movie Wrong Turn.
Albeit, I'm not a very outdoorsy kind of person, but I enjoyed myself. We went hiking (and I'm very surprised I'm not sore all over today), sightseeing, took pictures of various things, etc.
It was a good trip and I wish we could have the time to do more of that kind of stuff with each other, but for right now, we'll take it when we can.
Here's just a simple new/red potato recipe for today... we've got tons of potatoes coming in every week in our CSA, so I've been trying to figure out ways of using them up!
5 new potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon butter, quartered
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400 F.
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients until well coated. Transfer to a roasting dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Serve whole, mashed, sliced, however you like your potato. I prefer to eat them slowly while they are whole.
With simple ingredients, simple technique, this dish is definitely full of flavor and an easy side to whip up on a busy day! Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Monoprice 8320 IEM
"I bought my first set of 8320 two years or more back. They were very flat in the beggining then someone sugested these should be burned in for a few days with white noise. An old cell phone and white noise generator helped break these things in. Man o man what a difference. Made my bose IEM look like dollar store headphones. Sound is a relative thing IMHO just like taste in food. Some like..." --engineerd3d
Monoprice 109927 Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones, Black
"I purchased these a long time ago after reading reviews that these were a good budget option in the earphone category. To save time, i am just going to jump in to the sound quality section.. Bass: A little bass light for my tastes, but i can live with it. I doubt people are going to complain with these at the price they are offered at. It has decent punch to it, but like i said, a..." --zach8278
Sunrise Audio Xcited
" (This is my first review ever so, if you see something you don't agree with, it's a free country. Voice your opinions. But this is only one person's thoughts. Take it with a grain of salt.) I've been hearing about this IEM for the past year now. I was most intrigued by the reviews. It was hard to see a review about the Xcited (and its older brother, the Xcape IE, which our brother Spica,..." --amzies01
Sunrise Xcape Impressive Edition
The SW-Xcape is a more balanced IEM with a sweet midrange and nice bass, yet never compromises detail anywhere in the spectrum, notably the highs. Highs are neither in the forefront or in the background; they are balanced with the rest of the spectrum and are present as the recording dictates. There is a slight emphasis on the midrange, which is great for strings, vocals, and rock, but is still...


text: Street launches 'near prime' program Most prefer to call it alternative lending, but Street Capital is calling it "near prime" in announcing it will formally enter that increasingly active segment of the market. "Canadians can benefit from more options and choices to resolve barriers to home ownership," said Street President Paul Grewal, in announcing the lender's Street Options Program. "Each deal will be assessed individually, although brokers in the program have been handed guidelines to work with. "More generally, we have a maximum loan to value of 80 per cent and a minimum Beacon score of 540." Trod out Tuesday, the program will start with a select group of Ontario brokers and service "Canadians who are unable to find financing through traditional sources with solutions to home ownership," according to a Street press release. The lender has also opted for a staggered phase-in, meaning Options will ultimately be made available to selected brokers in markets across the country. "The Street Options Program will target the near prime segment of the mortgage market by introducing unique lending solutions and relying on a common sense approach to lending practices," reads the announcement. Owner-occupied residential deals, including BFS, are the program's focus, Grewal told MortgageBrokerNews.ca Brokers will be supported by dedicated senior underwriters and both a credit manager and a regional VP of sales. Street had announced earlier this year that it would move away from BFS lending. The Options program effectively re-opens that channel for participating brokers. It's also worth noting, said Grewal, that mortgages under the new Street Options program are uninsured. Earlier this month, Street's parent company, Counsel Corporation, highlighted the mono-line's near-30 per cent jump in revenue for Q4 over the previous three-month period. Street, in fact, sold $3.7 billion of its mortgages to institutional investors last year. It had sold $2.86 billion in its previous fiscal year, from November 1, 2009, to October 31, 2010.

Something rotten in Australia
Posted in news, other, politics on September 3, 2010 by JonathanThe latest chapter in the War of the West:
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – A well-known Australian Muslim cleric has called for the beheading of Dutch anti-Islamic politician Geert Wilders, a newspaper said on Friday.
But it's to be a peaceful beheading.
Given the fate of Theo Van Gogh and the numerous attempts on the lives of Muhammed-caricaturing cartoonists on the continent, Mr. Wilders's bodyguards had better be good.

I expect a bit more from BPL reviews. How well did it perform in the field? This was not as in depth as most BPL content.
Its a spotlite review, not a normal article or review. Spotlite reviews are generally brief and less in-depth than regular articles.

How does PrimaLoft "Sport" do for repeated compressions in a stuff sack? I think it's PrimaLoft's latest iteration.
I have a similar British military inner jacket made with Thermoloft Micro insulation & Pertex which does very well after many compressions.
I ask because my 10 year old Caribou Mountaineering summer sleeping bag with the original PrimaLoft lost virtually ALL its loft after 3 summers, making me very leery of using PrimaLoft again.

Hello all, I waited for the recent poll to close to make another post so here i go!
Recently we have gotten yet another team member! His name is Benjamin Bias, and so far he is not highly opinionated. His specializes in Networking, so you know what that means! We are finally getting over the dreadful networking hill in this project. Only after having him for a few days did he have our recent demo running online. It still had some issues, but he and the rest of the programming team are working on fixing those, to finally have something stable to show you guys! While the networking is being done, Allen has been revising the game engine, taking out unnecessary pieces of code, and simplifying others. Everything seems to be going smoothly, and we are well on our way to getting over this hill we all hate.
In other news, Allen has been doing some experiments with matrices, and has discovered very very powerful methods which we can use in many areas for not only AST, but for other projects we get involved in. However, I will wait for him to post sometime this coming week, in which he will go over some programming info in detail.
As for the poll you see to the right, we were surprised we didn't get more votes actually. We received 12 votes, 10 of which were likes, and 2 of which were dislikes. Pretty good numbers, and we are pleased. we would like to have gotten more likes, but hey we can't always get what we want. We will have another poll up once we make another release, which i am not sure when that will be. However! The next release will allow everyone to play together, online. So if there is anything to really be excited for, it is that you can play with your friends finally!
I think that is it for this post, we hope to have more info soon!
P.S. Yes i did use two memes in one post :3

Harvard survey: Remodeling spending to slow heading into 2015
Growth in home improvement spending is expected to peak during the second half of 2014 and then begin to ease heading into next year, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.
Revised estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the home improvement market grew 5.6 percent last year. For 2014, Harvard's Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity projects annual gains in home improvement spending of 9.9 percent with annual growth slowing to 7 percent in the first quarter of 2015.
"With the economy improving slower than expected and home sales struggling to keep up with last year's pace, the recent strong gains in remodeling spending will likely moderate later this year," said Chris Herbert, the Joint Center's research director, in a statement.
While the new data presents a challenge for the remodeling industry, the survey continues to project significant growth going into 2015, according to Kermit Baker, director of the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center. Despite some headwinds, there continues to be promising signs for remodeling and contractor sentiment remains positive as home prices continue to rise in most areas of the country, he added.

Elven Archers Mod 10 Trapper HR
Elven Archer
Hunter Ranger PVE Trapper Build – Mod 10
Still Working on SKT boons, I took a break so they still need completing.
Hello and welcome, I would just like to start of by saying this is my first guide so if you spot anything wrong just let me know.
Since the release of Mod 10 a lot of people have been switching over to combat, I would like to say I haven't tried combat myself as I love Trapper so much, but from what I have read and seen both paths are viable for top dps. This build is what I chose to use and why I chose to use it the way I do. As a Trapper HR you need to focus on High Crit and a lot of movement as you need to be able to move in and out of combat quickly to utilize both ranged and melee powers.
There are a few viable races for a HR I chose the Wood Elf for the 1% Crit Chance and an increase to DEX and WIS for higher damage and a higher Crit chance.
Drow – DEX and WIS – Darkfire: [You have 5% chance when attacking a foe to apply Darkfire for 4 seconds, reducing its Defense by 10%]. (Seems good but doesn't really help much, I prefer the extra Crit Chance.)
Dragonborn – +2 to DEX – Dragonborn Fury: [Your Power and Critical Strike are increased by 3%]. (Sounds great on paper but its costly, if you can afford it then Dragonborn is your best choice.)
Stat Rolls
You want to roll Your DEX and WIS as high as possible, I went for 18 on both and your next highest should be STR for the increased Stamina Regen. Each 10 levels you will be able to increase these stats, and for max damage you want to increase DEX and WIS each time. You won't have 29 DEX when you first reach level 70 but I will explain why later on.
There has always been a debate whether Stormwarden or Pathfinder is the better choice, before Mod 10 In would have said Stormwarden for the Blade Storm personal. But Mod 10 fixed the damage of Blade Storm and it is no longer affected by buffs, and with the changes to the Swiftness of the Fox Feat I feel that going for Pathfinder is a better option for the At-Will Careful Attack/Hunters Teamwork as you will need to use At-Wills and Dailies to maintain a smooth rotation.
I will explain why I chose each feat and what feats could be chosen.
Predatory Action – 5/5 [As you are using 6 Encounter powers getting a daily is pretty fast so you will be firing off dailies quite often extra damage is an easy pick.]
Weapon Mastery – 3/3 [More Crit chance is always nice.]
Toughness – 3/3 [A HR can be squishy yes but doesn't mean that you want it to be.]
Swift Footwork – 0/5 [You can put 5/5 into this instead of Predatory Action if you are a Stormwarden but as a Pathfinder we have a very unique daily to help us out with this.]
Battle Wise – 0/5 [As a DPS you will be generating threat by doing damage and with a good tank that can hold threat you will never need this.]
Agile Combatant – 3/3 [We are constantly switching stances, doing more damage for doing so is great.]
Endless Assault – 3/3 [We have 6 encounters to use, why wouldn't you want more damage from them?]
Natures Enhancement – 0/3 [I don't have enough deflect for it to make a difference.]
Lucky Skirmisher – 0/3 [Same as Natures Enhancement, the difference isn't noticeable.]
Scoundrel Training – 0/3 [You could take off 2 points from Predatory Action if you run Pathfinder for the extra damage on Careful Attack, but I solo a lot so i'm always being targeted.]
Disciple of Dexterity – 3/3 [6% extra damage from DEX is no doubt an obvious choice.]
Extra Action – 0/3 [We gain enough AP as it is, we won't need extra from here.]
Fleet Stance – 5/5 [As I have said before movement is key.]
Readied Stance – 0/5 [We don't need AP gain, with 6 encounters our daily comes pretty fast]
Deft Strikes – 5/5 [This is the first Feat that will enable you to deal high damage.]
Slasher's Speed/Natures Fury – 0/5 [Pretty useless as you wont always have the daily equipped.]
Trappers Cunning – 5/5 [As you aim for 100% crit chance this will proc more and more increasing your damage even further.]
Forestbond – 5/5 [Using this will enable you to start cooling down your powers so they are ready to use when you switch stances.]
Ancient Roots – 5/5 [Having your roots last longer means you will be doing more damage.]
Swiftness of the Fox – 5/5 [The bread and butter of a Trapper, most of the time you can use 3 encounters switch stance use 3 encounters switch stance and they will be ready to use again, but if you have a power that takes longer to cool down you will either need to fire an appropriate At-Will or daily at the end or start of your encounters.] (e.g. When using Plant Growth after I have used all 3 of my ranged encounters if I have my daily up I will use it, if not I will fire 1 or 2 At-Wills to ensure that all my melee encounters are ready.)
Thorned Roots – 5/5 [Stronger Roots dealing more damage is great.]
Serpents Bite – 5/5 [As you will always have Aspect of the Serpent active, having this feat will increase your damage and Crit chance.]
Biting Snares – 1/1 [Topping off the feats for extra damage and extra AP]
As you are leveing put your points into all the powers you could end up using, once reaching 70 your first 4th point will go into Aspect of the Serpent, then it all depends on your preference Careful Attack would be a good second choice then your main 3 encounters (Constricting Arrow, Fox's Cunning, Cordon of Arrows) then it will depend on what you feel you need most.
At-Wills – Hunter's Teamwork, Rapid Shot
Encounters – Constricting Arrow, Fox's Cunning, Cordon of Arrows
Dailys – Slasher's Mark, Seismic Shot
Personal – Aspect of the Serpent, Aspect of the Pack/Aspect of the Lone Wolf/Aspect of the Falcon
(Having a companion out will give you nearly 100% up time on Combat Advantage while using AOTP, but eventually the damage increase wont matter much as enemies will die so quickly)
(Once you have the speed to move in an out of combat quickly AOTF will enable your ranged abilities to deal more damage and when you apply grasping roots at range its a fixed DOT so once applied it will continue to deal the same amount of damage at any distance until it expires)
Dungeon with high movement speed (trash mobs):
At-Wills – Hunter's Teamwork, Rapid Shot
Encounters – Constricting Arrow,Longstrider's Shot, Cordon of Arrows
Dailys – Forest Ghost, Seismic Shot
Personal – Aspect of the Serpent, Aspect of the Pack/Aspect of the Falcon
(If you have someone in your group that can apply combat advantage then use AOTF)
Dungeon with low movement speed (trash mobs):
At-Wills – Hunter's Teamwork, Rapid Shot
Encounters – Constricting Arrow, Fox's Cunning, Cordon of Arrows
Dailys – Forest Ghost, Seismic Shot
Personal – Aspect of the Serpent, Aspect of the Pack/Aspect of the Lone Wolf
(If you have another class that can also give you combat advantage then use AOTLW)
At-Wills – Hunter's Teamwork, Rapid Shot
Encounters – Constricting Arrow, Fox's Cunning/Longstrider's Shot, Cordon of Arrows
Dailys – Slasher's Mark, Seismic Shot
Personal – Aspect of the Serpent, Aspect of the Pack/Aspect of the Falcon/Seeker's Vengeance
(If you have the movement speed use Longstrider's Shot and Aspect of the falcon, if you can sit comfortably behind the target without the chance of being hit like on a dragon then use Seeker's Vengeance.)
I will explain the ones that might not be obvious, but you want to focus on Crit > Power > Arm Pen > Lifesteal > HP > Defense/Deflect > Regen
CA > AP > AOE Resist > CC Resist > Incoming Healing > Stamina Gain > CC Bonus
Once you have 1200 CA and 60% Arm Pen you wont need them in your boons.
400 Power
400 Crit
1600 HP [only for now I will be going for the AP gain when I increase my LS]
20k Damage when striking a foe
135 Power when killing a foe. Stacks 30 times. Lasts 45 seconds
Dread Ring
250 Crit & Movement
3% Deflect [I have way too much Arm Pen, I don't need more]
20k HP over time, 4000 Defense when effect ends [I'm still working on survivability, I'm keeping this till i no longer require the healing from it]
Deal damage gain stack of "Madness", at 50 stacks gain 4000 Power, LS and Regen for 10 seconds (Works really well for a Trapper due to the DOT's we have gaining this buff is really easy.)
Icewind Dale
400 CA [changing this to AOE resist my CA is too high]
400 Stamina Gain [My LS isn't high enough to make god use of the incoming healing yet]
2% Crit Sev
2000 Power based on how much Stamina you are missing
Chance when healed to gain up to 3000 damage bonus on next attack [with LS this proc alot and the rest of the boons are not very good anyway]
400 Power, 1600 HP
400 Crit, 1600 HP
CA increased by 10%
Regen stamina 5% faster [I solo a lot, so this helps to keep evading]
10% damage against demons
Tyranny of Dragons
400 Power
400 Crit
400 Arm Pen [Will help when I get my SH Power boon and loose my Arm Pen boon]
5% Crit Sev [Still got 2 points to get, 1 will go in here and the other in LS]
Maze engine
5% LS Sev
Stamina Regens 10% faster in Combat
When striking a foe, chance to gain 2000 Crit
Elemental Evil
300 Power & 2000 HP
4% LS Sev & 2000 HP
400 Crit 2000 HP
Storm Kings Thunder
What I will be going for:
Cold Hearted: Gain 2% Life steal sev and 1000 HP
Survival instincts: 400 inc healing and 2% everfrost res
Icy Wrath: chance when taking dmg to gain up to 2000 dmg on next attack (does pretty much nothing but its better than recovery)
Vengeful heat: when killing a foe chance to deal 2000 fire dmg to all nearby enemies and also gain 2% everfrost res.
Chill of winter: when striking a foe gain a stack, at 10 stacks next attack releases a burst of 10k/12k/14k dmg to targets close (dmg over time effect wont trigger this)
Ideally you want to have the 8000 Power and the 8000 LS or 32,000 HP, but not every guild will have those. Until you do any of the boons will help in some way.
Weapon Enchantment: Dread Enchantment (Higher Crit severity for Encounters only, we mainly only use encounters so this is perfect.)
Armor Enchantment: Soulforged Enchantment (We cant really make use of the very popular Negation Enchantment due to dying so quickly, so when we do drop being able to come back and keep doing damage is great.)
Offensive: Brutals/Azures (I run all Brutals and 1 Radiant currently, you can run all brutals or all azures until you hit the 100% Crit chance, then you can switch azures out and mess around with your enchantments until you have 100% Crit and as much Power as possible
Defensive: Dark Enchantments (Running with all Darks you will have enough lifesteal so that when you are hit due to the amount of DOT's we have you will be back up to full health in no time)
Utility: Dragon's Hoard/Dark Enchantment (With 2 Greater Dragon's Hoard Enchantments this should provide you with enough RP to get your Artifact Gear up. The rest of the slots should be Dark Enchantments to provide you with enough movement.)
As I don't use a set for a set bonus I can be very picky when it comes to choosing my artifacts.
Wheel of Elements – 1000 Power, 4000 HP, 600 Stamina Gain [This is not a must have straight away but for personal DPS its the best one to go for.]
Lantern of Revelation – 1000 Crit, 1000 Armor pen, 600 Combat Advantage [Useful to use when in the dungeons with more than 5 players or for stronghold dragons]
Sigil of the Controller – 1000 Crit, 10000 Power, 600 Control Resist [A must have, it's got Power and Crit]
Lostmauth's Horn of Blasting – 1000 Power, 1000 Armor Pen, 600 Control bonus [If you are using the Lostmauth set then this is a must, I am currently deciding on what I want to replace this with.]
Symbol of Water – 1000 Crit, 1000 Deflect, 600 Stamina Gain [I will pick either this or the Sigil of the Trickster to replace my Lostmauths horn]
Sigil of the Trickster – 1000 Crit, 1000 Deflect, 600 Combat Advantage
Heart of the Blue Dragon – 1000 Crit, 1000 Recovery, 600 Combat Advantage
Tactician's Banner – 1000 Crit, 1000 Movement, 600 AP Gain
Thayan Book of the Dead – 1000 Crit, 1000 Armor Pen, 600 AP Gain [Only really useful if you are heavily lacking in Armor Pen]
If your guild has them then you should go for the Stonghold Artifact Weapons so when you are in a group with your guild while you all hae them you will gain a 10% damage bonus, these are not really required unless you run with your guild alot.
Main Hand – Twisted Toxo
Melee – Twisted Xiphoi
(Best weapon set for any DPS class at the moment in Mod 10)
Alternatives until you acquire the Twisted set
Main Hand – Longbow of Elemental Fire Or Ensorcelled Mulhorand Longbow
Melee – Elemental Fire Axes Or Ensorcelled Mulhorand Blades
Main Armor
For your main armor pices you want to maximize as much Crit as you can till you reach 100% Crit.
Currently I am using:
Dragonflight Raid Hood – 10,554 HP, 626 Power, 939 Crit, 508 Defense
Elven Assault Coat – 19,039 HP, 9 AC, 1323 Crit, 567 Armor Pen, 724 Defense [I will be switching this out for the Dragonflight Assault Coat when I get closer to 100% Crit]
Elven Assault Bracers – 9520 HP, 851 Crit, 567 Armor pen, 482 Defense [Once I can, I will be swapping these out for the Umbral Bracers as they are much better]
Dragonflight Raid Gaiters – 10,554 HP, 626 Power, 939 Crit, 508 Defense
Gemmed Exquisite Elemental Shirt & Pants – 190 Power, 190 Crit, 190 Armor pen, 112 Defense
Ideally you want 2 +5 Legendary Rings, I'm Currently running with a +4 Ring of Brutality and a +4 Ring of Rising Precision. I am aiming for a +5 Ring of Rising Power and a +5 Ring of Sudden Precision or a +5 Ring of Brutality if i can reach 100% Crit without it. Until you get these or Rings similar, the Elemental Alliance Assault rings will do.
Neck and Belt
Lostmauth's Hord Necklace or any with equivalent stats [If you are going for the set bonus you will need this]
Alternatives: Baphomet's Infernal Talisman – Use this if your armor pen is at 60% for the extra deflect.
Greater Twined Rope of Dexterity or Golden Belt of Puissance [The golden Belt is needed for the Lostmauth set bonus]
(I chose to use the Greater Twined Rope of Dexterity for the extra 2 DEX, and as DEX is feated I feel like I will benefit more from having the extra 2 DEX than the set bonus from the Lostmauth set.)
Armor reinforcement kits
For your gear you will want to have the Crit kits to help you get to the 100% cap, once you reach 100% you can swap these out for either Power or Lifesteal
For your other gear, the kits depend on what you want more, Stamina Regen or AP gain
Currently I have the Fire Archon as my summoned companion for its bonus and its ranged attack, as a DPS you want to use Bonding Runestones as they will provide more stats than an augments. If you use the Fire Archon as your summoned companion then you will need to get a Talisman, I currently don't have a good one to use so I picked up one from the Auction House that had Power and Lifesteal on it with an offense slot. The rings I am using for now are the Personalized Adamant Ring of Piercing. This allows me to have two slots until I get my hands on a Brutal +4 and a Sudden Precision +4 or the Adorable Bites Rings (Very Expensive).
To reach 100% Crit you will want to put all your offense slots to Azure Enchantments, and your Defense should be Dark Enchantments for that extra Lifesteal
The rest of my companions im still working on, Currently I Have:
[Young Yeti] – On Damage Taken: 10% chance, for you, or your companion, to become blood thirsty, increasing damage dealt by 5%.
[Earth Archon] – Increaes your damage against targets by +4% when you are at full health. Each additional active Archon increases this bonus by .5% (I will be switching this out for the [Siege master] for a more constant bonus)
[Blink Dog] – +2% Combat Advantage Damage (this goes really well with AOTP as you will have almost permanent CA)
[Air Archon] -Increase your damage against targets not at full health by +3.0%. . Each additional active Archon increases this bonus by .5%
The Archons are easy enough to get, the Blink dog is really cheap and the Yeti might take some time to get but its not required. You can pick up any Companion that will give you CA damage Such as the [Intellect Devourer]
When you can afford you will want to get all your Companions to Epic and your summoned to Legendary
Standing stats
After Bondings Buff
Doing some testing, I have found that these are the best bonuses for me, Protector's Camaraderie will provide you with extra Power and Defense. They are quite self explanatory and should help you towards end game.
The insignia's themselves I haven't focused on yet, but depending on what stats I need depends on the insignia's, I will most likely be using Power or Crit.
Rotation & what to focus on.
Every few rotations in a boss fight you want to apply Careful attack to keep the damage rolling, when entering combat you want to hit the biggest target with Constricting arrow as it will apply the strongest root, if you are using longstrider lead with that as it will provide you with a damage buff and movement buff. After every range rotation you want to use an At-Will/Daily or both to ensure that Plant Growth is cooled down, when starting your melee rotation start with Plant Growth as it will gain the biggest benefit from Aspect of the Serpent. an example or rotations listed below:
With Longstrider:
Longstrider -> Constricting Arrow -> Cordon of Arrows -> [Switch Stance] -> Plant Growth -> Gushing Wound -> Steel Breeze (while moving out of melee range) -> -> Longstrider -> Constricting Arrow -> Hunters Teamwork(At-Will) -> Cordon of Arrows -> Daily (if full Seismic Shot, if not Disruptive Shot) -> [Switch Stance] Repeat until all enemies are dead.
Without Longstrider
Constricting Arrow -> Fox's Cunning -> Cordon of Arrows -> [Switch Stance] -> Plant Growth -> Fox's Shift -> Steel Breeze -> [Switch Stance] -> Constricting Arrow -> Hunters Teamwork(At-Will) -> Fox's Cunning -> Cordon of Arrows -> Daily (if full Seismic Shot, if not Disruptive Shot) -> [Switch Stance] Repeat until all enemies are dead.
Keep moving as you will die very quickly at lower IL
Want to know what this build can do with practice? Well this is a 2 man ELOL with with of my guild mates tanking for me, I will say just because he can hold threat well doesn't mean I wasn't getting targeted, it was a tough fight but as we are both skilled players with our classes we managed to pull it off. I will be attempting to solo bosses but that will be when I can survive longer.
This is a solo Shores of Tuern I did recently, it was a very tough fight and I had to switch up a lot of things. But in the end I pulled it off, granted with a lot of deaths but it was worth it.
Final Notes
Thank you for putting the time into looking at my guide, if you notice anything wrong with the guide or things don't sound right let me know and ill fix it asap. I just want to clarify I based my build off of the best HR I've ever seen Sume. link to his channel below, his videos helped me a lot and might even help you.

December 12, 2016 at 7:01 pm
i use a similar build except i use all the archons and an owl bear cub as my companions
December 14, 2016 at 7:53 pm
Nice build, thanks for posting. I think the lostmauth horn is power and armor pen, not power and crit
December 15, 2016 at 7:53 pm
really well, I used a similar guide a few mods ago using the same powers
December 24, 2016 at 12:45 am
build is working very nice so thank you for that. but what fashion gear are you using?
December 28, 2016 at 12:24 am
love the build man, but what's your opinion on a Crit sev build with skirmishers gambit? Do you think it would do more or less dmg overall? I've tried both and can't tell for the life of me. When i go Crit sev I have 67% Crit chance and 220% Crit sev and with my r12 bonding my Crit still jumps up to over a little 100% but I can't tell if I do more or less
February 2, 2017 at 1:38 am
as a trapper i dont go down the combat route but, i know most combat users use skirmishers gambit
January 10, 2017 at 2:08 am
Hi bro, i'll try this build but.. im "new" with NW.. i was asking myselft, where i can find those Umbral Bracers?? Thx, have a good day!
February 2, 2017 at 1:35 am
umbral bracers can either be bought from the aution house or when you are in a guild that is Guild Hall lvl 15 and have the guild proffesion
February 2, 2017 at 1:32 am
crit chance, with boons and the dread your crit sev should be over the cap
February 2, 2017 at 1:33 am
yes, i have taken a break from NW for a bit but i will be returning shortly
February 5, 2017 at 12:48 am
Very helpful. I'm still learning and leveling. Would you be able to modify your Power section to indicate how many points your slotting into each?
February 10, 2017 at 3:57 pm
hey, i have a question about the artifacts, is the sigil of the greatweapon a viable option for the lostmauths horn?
February 10, 2017 at 10:46 pm
I will be replacing the horn soon enough, the HP from the GWF sigil doesn't interest me but if you feel you might need it then it is perfectly viable.
March 8, 2017 at 1:04 am
hey lol your in my alliance i'm from supernatural and i'm looking forward to using this build.
March 15, 2017 at 9:17 pm
I'm currently using the codon,constructing, hindering rotation. Would using LOng strider instead of hindering get me more overall dps? I read somewhere that using longstrider decreases your dps think it might of been in t.suwante video
March 15, 2017 at 11:10 pm
I would strongly advise against using 2 powers that have charges on them as they can't be used for a faster rotation, about Longstrider, it really depends on how effective you are at using the class. I have switched from using Fox cunning to Longstrider. whilst soloing dailies I kill things much quicker and in group play my dmg does drop slightly due to bad rotations but if used correctly you can not only increase your own dps but your team mates so adds just melt same with bosses.

Apple confirms new 12W adapter charges quicker
All but lost in the shuffle of major new Apple product releases this week was the new 12W USB Power Adapter, which as noted in our earlier story is designed to work with iPads and a number of other recent iPod and iPhone models. The 12W Adapter is an updated version of the 10W USB Power Adapter shipped with all previous iPads, and will be bundled with the fourth-generation iPad and iPad mini, as well as purchased separately for $19. According to 9to5Mac, Apple has confirmed that the adapter will charge previous iPads faster than the older 10W adapter, stating that "[w]e don't have an exact percentage of how much faster it would charge but you should see an increase in speed."
Calculations run by iLounge suggest that the 12W Adapter could shave off up to two hours of charging time for the third-generation iPad, which notably took 7 or more hours to refuel. It's unclear how much of an improvement will be seen by older iPads, as well as the iPad mini, which has roughly one-third the battery capacity of current full-sized models.

1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Limited 4dr SUV 4WD
Bought this after my '98 Camry got totaled in an ice storm. Thought I was upgrading...boy, was I wrong. Shame on me for not reading the reviews before purchasing; shame on Daimler Chrysler for poor build quality and shoddy reliability. Only owned for 6 months because repair bills kept piling up. Went to four different garages; none could figure out why the vehicle kept stalling. Replaced computer, coil pack, went through three fuel pumps...nothing solved my problem.
exterior styling.
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Laredo 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought this Jeep used with 128,000 miles. This one has the Inline 6. I have only put a couple hundred miles on it but it seems to run great. I cant believe how good the body is holding up. No exterior rust yet. The only issue i have with it is the transmission has a very slight leak. When I park I see one or two drops of tranny fluid on the ground. After a tranny flush and new seal, no more leak. In the past I have never been a Chrysler fan and still am not. But this vehicle so far is my exception. I like it and I could NOT pass up the deal I got on it. So far, no major complaints. Overall satisfied. I know several people that got 300,000 miles on the inline 6. Hope I do also.
4X4, sharp looking vehicle. Very easy to do your own maintenance. Handles well. Anytime 4X4. Power windows, door, mirrors. Body seems to hold up well.
Better gas mileage. One thing I dont like is that this vehicle seems to have more engine noise than other vehicles. I hear from others this vehicle is hard on brakes. Well we will see. Interior kind of cheap.
Aside from using it as a commuter car, it was used as a utility truck carrying anything from logs to pavers to furniture, etc. A transmission leak was noticed on the 7th year which was never really "fixed" by anyone=although it never gave u a big problem=no breakdowns. Additional minimal problems up until the AC conked out on it's 10th year. Had the freon loaded just to get through the summer. After the winter of 2008, we traded it in for an import. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Very reliable vehicle.
Built and style.
Leaky transmission.
The Jeep was the best auto I ever owned. I have owned over 40 different types of autos, not one can reach he style and grace of my SUV. It looks good under the lights and driving in a blizzard. It is as a safe a high profile vehicle.
Strong and sexy.
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Limited 4dr SUV
Bought last year @148,000 mi. It's a play vehicle and gets about 5000 mi. A year. Have spent money on it from day one. Staring off just trying to make everything perfect. Then I started getting a rear bear nosie. Replaced all rear end bearings. The Carrier bearing was the only one pitted. That didn't fix the the problem. Right rear axle was pitted changed it. That fixed the bearing noise. Then I got a vibration @1600 rpm and on deceleration. Changed u-joints (a waste of $). From what I've read sounds like this is a Major problem that is very hard to trouble shoot (even at a dealer. Don't want to spend any more $ on it. I'm torn between spending and just selling it. I love to drive it but the vibration.
leather steering wheel,looks,leather seats, cockpit,
Jeep needs to man up and if the transmission and rear end problems. High maintenance. Not worth the problems I don't think. Will not buy another one. Only if Jeep would build a better product.

Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS)
What is MOPS?
MOPS is a grassroots movement that believes moms are world influencers…
We believe that incubating hearts and giving just-because-hugs can change the course of history. That's why we connect moms all over the world to a community of women, in their own neighborhoods, who meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of motherhood. MOPS groups are rallying women to be more honest, to feel more equipped and to find our identity by journeying alongside one another.
MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, and by preschoolers we mean kiddos from birth through kindergarten. We know it's a little confusing so let's just stick with "MOPS."
We are moms, and we believe that better moms make a better world.
St. Michael's Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) would like to invite you to join our group! MOPS is a place to find friendship, community and support for you as a woman and mother. Mothers with children from birth through kindergarten are welcome.
We hold meetings every 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month, from 9am to 11am, August to May. Child care is provided by our wonderful MOPPETS volunteers.
If you have any questions, please Heather Parr, email@example.com

Back before Christopher Walken became a caricature of himself, when he was still considered a rising actor based on his Oscar® for The Deer Hunter, he made this graphic, exciting action film, about a group of professional mercenaries. Walken leads a band of soldiers of fortune, who are hired to overthrow a dictator in West Africa (think Idi Amin). But when their mission is compromised by political and monetary forces, Walken returns to the United States, disillusioned, battered, and not sure the high life of lawyers, guns, and money is really for him. Still, vengeance is sweet, as his partner, Tom Berenger, keeps whispering into his ear. A better film than it's generally given credit for, The Dogs of War features the kind of cool, detached performance Walken used to be capable of, before he began believing both the hype and ridicule about his over-the-top style. --Marshall Fine

My take on this huge spring trend. I fell for these beautiful flowers sent to me by Heather, the creator of Belle Blossoms (http://www.belleblossoms.com/). I'm wearing the rosebud side comb and I have a hundred and one ideas dancing in my head of how I'll wear them next.
Hair flowers have been seen on the beautiful starlettes of Hollywood's
golden ages and worn again on vintage loving women today but now with the
spring trends hair flowers have gone high fashion and mainstream. Check
out my hairspiration for vintage style hair flowers with a modern
As you can see, the new modern twist with hair flowers: more is more. Go for bold colours, layer flowers and texture to achieve these looks. While the single side flower will always be a classic, try purchasing a few flowers and have fun with placement. It's a fresh and flirty way to mix the old with the new

I have mousy blond hair and was looking to dye it red hope you don't mind me asking but, I'm assuming you see a stylist if you color your hair, but if you use store color could you maybe tell me the shade you use? Thanks for any info about your color:)

I can't be sure, but all of the pictures of minis I've seen seem to be drawings. It's dang hard to tell with brushed metal. Is this actually a photograph, or are all mini shots drawings? http://www.apple.com/macmini/ __________________ We don't need no stinkin' sig line!
My take is that they are ultra-photoshopped pictures. They do have qualities of both photos and drawings and I have been wondering about this too. However, if you want to see real photos of the mini, check out this link .
Thanks for the link! This thing is even nice-looking upside down. I can't wait until I get mine (my dad's).
How well could the mini outpreform my G4 733mhz Digital Audio 1mb L3 cache 1gb ram powermac ? I just bought this mac for $550 before the mini was announced Im not sure if it would really be great to have, over the powermac I have now...
Before the Power Mac G5s hit the stores, I felt like all the promotional images of them looked rendered too, somehow.
Is anyone else having problems with those pictures not being displayed? I tried it on Firefox and IE.
The mini has a higher MHz rating on its G4, but in most other ways, your tower is probably faster or roughly comparable. Have a look for yourself... compare Mac mini specs to Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio) specs. __________________ DEAD COW. It's what's for dinner. Tonight!
they work fine in firefox ,the older mozilla and even in IE on windows..perhaps they are having heavy traffic i really like the design from the air intakes on the botton..gonan have a nice airflow
The 1.42Ghz Mac mini will be twice as fast as the 733Mhz G4, if it had at least 512MB RAM and a faster spinning HD. Depending on what you are doing with it, I'd say at least 60%-100% faster. Just a couple of months ago, I sold a 867Mhz G4 for $900 not because it was slow, but because it was getting increasingly louder. I then bought a Dual G5 and its been a dream machine. I would get a Mac mini if I had another pair of hands.
I agree. They have been photoshopped extensively so they look the best on the web. They photoshopped the grill holes on the G5 Towers so the holes look uniform on the web. That's one of the first things I noticed.

Schwartz has helped plan the security for Inauguration weekend, and he will be charged with overseeing the D.C. National Guard as well as an additional 5,000 troops sent in for the weekend. But he will have to hand over commend to an interim officer in the middle of Inauguration Day.
"The timing is extremely unusual," Schwartz told the Washington Post on Friday.
"My troops will be on the street," he added. "I'll see them off but I won't be able to welcome them back to the armory."
Schwartz told the Post that he was not informed why he must step down abruptly on Inauguration Day.
"I'm a soldier," he said. "I'm a presidential appointee, therefore the president has the power to remove me."
Trump's team has also ordered all politically appointed diplomats to leave their posts by Inauguration Day, breaking with tradition of allowing some ambassadors to stay on as their children finish out the school year.
