KDE 4.0 to be Released in January
The KDE Release Team has decided to release KDE 4.0 this coming January. The release was originally planned for mid-December. The KDE developers want to solve a couple of essential issues before releasing. Having solved some of those issues, among which were glitches in the visual appearance, and in Konqueror, the KDE community hopes to have a KDE 4.0 that will live up to the high expectations for it. Read on for more details.
Meanwhile, the progress towards KDE 4.0 is astonishing. Most parts, such as the KDE Development Platform and a lot of applications are considered stable and well-usable.
Some parts of the desktop experience do not yet meet the KDE community's quality standards and expectations for a stable release. There are also some issues which need to be addressed upstream, for example a bug in certain codecs of xine that cut off audio fragments prematurely. The developers are confident to be able to release a more polished and better working KDE 4.0 desktop in January. The changed plans involve releasing on January 11th, 2008.
At the same time, the release team's call for participation is repeated. To make KDE 4.0 a success, your effort is needed. An overview of current showstoppers can be found on Techbase, KDE's knowledge platform.
This is also a call to the wider Free Software community, and also to companies working with KDE. If you have the resources to contribute, assistance in fixing the remaining bugs is most welcome.

Re: Small Incremental Releases
Sorry, but forking QT just doubles your work load (now you have to develop the fork, and KDE) while not adding any benefit. In fact, it hurts you since you lose all the benefit you currently have from the professional QT development that is on-going.
Every once in a while, you really need to rethink thinks, and redevelop from the ground up. I'm sure the KDE 4 series will be absolutely great in time.
By T. J. Brumfield at Sun, 2007/12/02 - 6:00am
Re: Small Incremental Releases
KDE 4 is not a complete rewrite. It is a massive overhaul, but lots of existing pieces of code are "just" ported and refactored.
By Andre at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: Small Incremental Releases
Exactly, speaking as a developer, I tend to ignore people that aren't friendly enough for my sense of humor du jour. Odds that someone who asks for something in a friendly way is ignored are very slim, however.

Re: Small Incremental Releases
I have ported several Qt3 apps to Qt4. The mistake KDE made was subtle, and one many others have made. Simply put, they ported at the same time they redesigned. This kept the software in an unusable state for far too long. It would have been better (IMHO) if they had first ported to Qt4 and released a Qt4-based KDE3.5, and then redesign from a solid stable base. This approach does take *longer* overall, but you will have the benefit of a good interim release.
No need to fork Qt.
By David Johnson at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: Small Incremental Releases
Almost but not quite... The port was done as a separate, but it never really stabilized.
By SadEagle at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: Small Incremental Releases
True, but kde3.5 is good enough to survive one other year, so no real need for an interim release, imho. I prefer to wait a little bit longer and get a next generation KDE rather that an improved one and wait again (and this time for a long time) for the next version.
By A lazy KDE user at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: Small Incremental Releases
I may be wrong, but I think that'd kill binary compatibility. Qt3 is not BC with Qt4, and KDE also guarantees BC throughout the major versions, so by porting to Qt4, KDE is no longer BC with the previous version. If they released that, then there would be another BC break (or severely limit what refactoring they can do) when they redesign. KDE is the framework so many applications are built on. I think in the long run, and for the sake of those other developers, doing both at the same time (meaning no intrim release) was the right way to go.
By mactalla at Tue, 2007/12/04 - 6:00am
Re: Small Incremental Releases
we'll get it done. however, you're not wrong. more incremental releases would actually be a load off on everyone. i also agree on the QT thing. alas, this one is quite the pickle. better leave it be.
guess who.

Windows Vista:
Hi folks,
Will KDE 4.0 be any better graphicaly than KDE 3.XX and how does it compare to Vista's Aero interface. Which is better? Will KDE work on Windows Vista in place of the Aero interface?
By JimmyX at Sun, 2007/12/02 - 6:00am
Re: Windows Vista:
That is is a very subjective question.
I'm sure someone will make a Vista theme on kde-look.org to make KDE 4.0 look like Vista if you like. And there will be people who skin it to look like OS X, and such. I'd say that KDE is much more versatile in its appearance than Vista. What it looks like will largely be up to you.
I don't believe that KDE 4 on Windows however will use Plasma. Last I heard, the desktop portions of KDE are not being ported to Windows, just the applications.
By T. J. Brumfield at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Kde 4 RC1+
Kde4 apps is thanks to Qt4 and core tehnologies much better, but desktop (desktop & settings & panel) agrrf - gnomish. Oxygen - icons profesional, sound "smells awfully", windec dead (in other words - too much grey - i want plastic like (blue & grey) with oxygen buttons and domino corners), ....
- Desktop of Kde Four Live RC1+ stil looks like 80s blackbook. I think that settings corner is a big mistake. There isn't any gradients. Simply too ugly. And you can acess to these functions with right click too.
Greetings, Miha

freeze status?
I'm utterly confused what this means regarding the freeze status. I guess API and ABI will need to remain compatible. But does the delay give us another chance for message string changes, for instance?
By tfry at Sun, 2007/12/02 - 6:00am
Re: freeze status?
Replying to myself, in case anybody else is wondering about this: The freeze remains in effect. See http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-release-team&m=119669157907550&w=2 .

One month
One month isn't enough. If KDE 4 wants to live up the expectations at leasts two months is needed, but 4 months would be better.
I mean, can anybody give me a link to the requirements + estimates used for this descision?
By Dennie at Sun, 2007/12/02 - 6:00am
Re: One month
I agree.. I would love to see KDE 4 really ready and perfectly running on April...
By Somebody from s... at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: One month
I hope they will release bugfix releases frequentely do that you can switch to, say, 4.0.5 in April if you find it stable enough.
By Grósz Dániel at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: One month
Two months ago it was delayed by two months. Now by one month. I think if it won't be stable enough in January, it will be delayed by an other month.
By Grósz Dániel at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: One month
Now, that is _exactly_ the problem I'm addressing. Nobody can count on anything. Basically this way it is done when it's done. The question is: when is it done? You can only tell that by defining clear functional requirements, defining the number of hours a developer can work on their project and ask those developers to give estimates on the work they're doing. Now we have a good view on when things are done. Add an additional 10% overhead and we're not telling the community farytails anymore.
Another thing is: Developers are adding functionality like crazy. When is this beta or even alpha tested? The thing is: KDE 4 is -not done-. So please stop this and begin with a good solid release plan.
Another thing I hate is that some developers say: No, 4.0 is more like an intermediate release for developers and early adopters. NO! That's what alpha's and beta's are for.

Finally using SVN
Well, I've decided I can't wait that long, so I'm installing from the SVN now. Maybe I'll actually get my act together, and contribute somehow.
By Soap at Sun, 2007/12/02 - 6:00am
Re: Finally using SVN
That's the spirit! Together we'll beat the bugs.
Maybe we can get the dot admins to hang some old propaganda posters up in here to create a feeling of solidarity and progress ;).

If you find it's too much hassle, as I did, I'm currently using KDE4 Daily and it's a wonderfully streamlined process for debugging.

4.0 Final in one month?
I've no doubt the plasma developers are pretty good at what they're doing. But I really wonder about the state of the desktop. To deal with the plasma applets is a mess. What about that horrible button in the upper right desktop corner? How can I move to and integrate the pager applet in the bar at the bottom (whatever it's current name is - formerly kicker)? Application windows easily hide applets - I can't find a way bring the applets into the foreground like a normal application window (by clicking it in the taskbar).
I know, all is easy to implement and so on. 4.0 is not 4, and it's meant to be for developers only. You'll tell me about the preliminary state and so on. Perhaps you'll ask what I contribute instead of critizising. Anyway, it needs a bit more to convince me. All I can see is 3.95 up to now.
By Andy at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: 4.0 Final in one month?
Plasma already has dashboard support.
Ehm, just drag'n drop the pager applet to the panel, it may give you some issues at that time, but if logged out and in, it'll be just nice (at least that is what happens here).
BTW: I can't find any key binding to call the dashboard, but you can put a show desktop plasmoid on the desktop or the panel.
By Luis at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: 4.0 Final in one month?
Ehm, a show-desktop plasmoid on the *desktop* is just a non-sense ;P
By Vide at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: 4.0 Final in one month?
Yes, I know, but there is a little problem if you put it in your panel, once the dashboard is active, it's impossible to click, so you have to put one on the desktop XD.
By Luis at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: 4.0 Final in one month?
Try other CTRL+F?? combos, and you see more of the fancy things in KDE4 :-)

Re: 4.0 Final in one month?
3.95 AKA beta 4 is more than a month old.
By Grósz Dániel at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am
Re: 4.0 Final in one month?
Did you run out of figures? Beta6 were more appropriate than RC1 for what I can see ATM. If you feel you need to release something, then go and release the libs. Releasing the "desktop" in its current state (and probably the next 4 weeks won't change it too much) will cost you more respect than a delay of another quarter.

KDE4's kmenu
Don't know if this screenshot of the kde4 menu is a joke, a beta test a skin or a plugin,
but if not, I hope there will be an option in order to revert back to the KDE3 menu.
By Meghazi Fabien at Mon, 2007/12/03 - 6:00am

I think this deserves a huge red text in every release announcement:
There won't be any "old style" KMenu unless someone provides one.

Re: KDE4's kmenu
I'm not going to do it on my own, but if someone wants to join me, I am seriously considering writing a new menu for KDE4. It definitely won't be ready for January, but maybe we can have something for 4.0.1. I'm leaning towards a classic menu. Email me if you are interested (remove the "no.spam" from the address).

I love KDE - but this is (/%/($&(
I have been using KDE sce beta 2 - before version 1.0 was ready. It was great. I have compiled KDE for countless hours and have even added minuscule portions of its code... I have reported and tested hundreds of bugs and have defended KDE against unfair attacks many times.
BUT - the release management of the KDE4 branch is the worst I have seen. I can only compare it to Gnome-1.0, which also sucked bad. How do you call this development snapshot RELEASE CANDIDATE? No packaging is available, only live cds because noone wishes to ruin a real system with this snapshot. All the live cds I tested were not usable as desktop - less so than any extremely simple WM like icewm or the like. FVWM is more usable than the RC1.
Please do take time until spring, add a number of real release candidates, when the developers run out of immediately obvious bugs. At the moment there are glaring bugs in the entire environment. To call this release candidate reminds me of the WOW effect of Vista... For the first time in years I have checked out gnome (still behind KDE3, fortunately).
Please take your time, package the stuff to get real users using it on their desktop machines (e.g. debian packages) help the packagers with their packages, wait until the flood of bugs decreases and then call it a release candidate - when it is ready. Stop the MARKETING CRAP - it's lying to people. Gnome is better at that game.
Please let me know when there are DEbian packages of KDE-4.0 that can be installed in parallel to the KDE3 desktop... You will then get as many bug reports as you like from me.
Best regards

Re: I love KDE - but this is (/%/($&(
Agree with you on most points, however, I have just installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) and of course the KDE front end (Kubuntu).
I've always prefered the KDE environment, maybe because I was a mac & windows boy for a decade or more, however I think the KDE branch has lost significant ground to the GNOME environment...........
To the extent that I doubt I'll be returning to KDE as long as GNOME (in it's Ubuntu flavour anyhow) is as good as this.
for me, KDE has always been about attractivenes as much as usability - it's just as easy to acomplish tasks in GNOME, it's just slightly prettier in KDE.
Or at least it was.
A few mouse clicks (okay, I used a terminal, but you can use mouse clicks) and you've got the amazingly configurable Compiz-Fusion, and whadda you know?
KDE may have 'nicer buttons', but GNOME (ubuntu's version anyway) is now incredibly stable, as clean or as whizzy as you want, and visually stunning.
Controversial as it may be, I find myself thinking, "what's the point of KDE?"
Kubuntu's KDE is buggy and, well, so last year.
I strongly disagree that GNOME is still behind KDE3 - in my opinion it is light years ahead.
So if KDE want to remain relevant, I suggest taking AS LONG AS IT TAKES to come back with something with genuine wow factor (and not the 'wow, this is crap' I've just had trying to run the live RC cd).
Also, as an aside, I know it's fashionable in KDE circles to denigrate GNOME, and especially a 'for the kids' distro like ubuntu, but have a go with 7.10 and see if the prejudice remains..............
By FatFox at Tue, 2007/12/04 - 6:00am
Re: I love KDE - but this is (/%/($&(
:/ You can put Compiz Fusion in KDE too. Hell, you can put kwin into GNOME.
Tell me when GNOME has their own windowmanager, okay :)
(And no, metacity is just a window manager, and works perfectly well without GNOME - doesn't even depend on the GNOME libraries, and before Metacity, GNOME used Enlightenment then Sawfish).
I use KDE for the sheer power it gives me over my system. If it can be done, there's probably a configuration option that can do it. I've got my tabs at the bottom of Konqueror, for example.
By cloakable at Thu, 2007/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: I love KDE - but this is (/%/($&(
Yeah, I know - about the compiz-fusion on Kubuntu.
Have you tried it?
Buggy as hell - seems to be fully integrated into ubuntu, and positively poisonous to kubuntu.
Strange, I know.
But then again ntfs read/write support works better in GNOME as well (Ubuntu will write to my ntfs external hard drives, Kubuntu won't) - challenging question, but (usability aside, which is where I'm actually coming from) - what can you do in KDE that can't be done in GNOME?
I run many K-programs in gnome (& vice-versa) - they just don't always work so well as in the 'native' environment.
I used to prefer KDE, now I prefer GNOME - if KDE works for you, and you prefer it, great - that's the beauty of linux & open source in general, we're not all herded into 'my way or the highway' Windows, check out Mint, PCLOS, SUSE - there's a flavour for pretty much anyone.
My point was that GNOME seems to have taken a huge leap forward in aesthetics & usability, & KDE (for me anyhow) has missed a step.
I don't care what you use on your system - if it works & makes you productive (& happy!) then more power to you.
I only made the above comments as an ex-KDE fan - it was (in my opinion) way ahead of GNOME, and it seems to be lagging at the moment.
Just my opinion - & I'm waiting to see what KDE comes up with next (competition is always better from an evolutionary point of view!)
By FatFox at Fri, 2007/12/07 - 6:00am
Re: I love KDE - but this is (/%/($&(
"Because no one wishes to ruin a real system"?
You're going far with assumptions, I see. If you actually read around in the MLs you'll see that is mostly because stuff had to be adjusted in order to be co-installable. Aside that, that's the distro's responsiblity.
Finally, like other people on the Dot, why on Earth are you being so disrespectful? You can say "marketing-wise, I think that calling it RC may have been a mistake" instead of "Stop the MARKETING CRAP". It takes seconds to write a calm and polite reply that may disagree but not be on the borderline of offensive.
Is it that hard?
By Luca Beltrame at Tue, 2007/12/04 - 6:00am
Marketing Crap
The people who wish to test betas of desktop environments invest time and effort and are mostly not stupid. To think that the wrong label ("release candidate") for an early development snapshot would lead to more testers and to better bug reports is insulting and not very smart. Or to call it short "CRAP".
Stuff like this did not happen for KDE 1.0, KDE 2.0 and KDE 3.0.
It is purely marketing driven and it is crap, so I think marketing crap is still a polite way to express myself.
By Moritz Moeller-... at Tue, 2007/12/04 - 6:00am
Re: Marketing Crap
Right. As much as I hate to say it as a devoted KDE fan, but it seems to me that some developers have developed a certain kind of arrogance. We all know that they spend hundreds of hours per year without pay doing their best to improve KDE and deserve respect for that and everything, but they seem to forget that the devoted users, and not just those who are directly contributing through active testing, but also those who help to spread the word, are just as critical for the success of the desktop. And I think that we have a right to be heard too. This "you don't have to pay for it, so stop complaining" - attitude doesn't h help anyone. And marketing something as RC1 that obviously has alpha quality at best (read: not even close to feature complete) IS downright disrespectful towards potential testers that the developers are trying to attract.
By chris.w at Wed, 2007/12/05 - 6:00am
Re: Marketing Crap
I fully agree. Go and set things right. Take another quarter to finish the desktop before releasing it. And don't take the easy route and call everybody criticizing the release cycle a troll.
(Just to make it clear: I love KDE, too. I'm using KDE for almost 10 years. I'm using it for more than 7 years daily in the office. I'd contributed some bugfixes and a few features over the last years. I've recommended it to numerous people.)

KDE 4 is packaged for openSUSE (and I think other distros also) so that one can install both kde 3 and kde 4.
By Grósz Dániel at Tue, 2007/12/04 - 6:00am
I wanted to try KDE 4 since its Beta days, but I can't because there are no packages for my distribution (Slackware). How do you want us to test the software if we cannot have it in our computers? Building from source 1) takes days, and 2) completely messes up the administration of my workstation.
Can you get a way to provide packages for the most popular distros, please?
By Eduardo Sanchez at Tue, 2007/12/04 - 6:00am
Re: Packages?
Install it to /opt/kde4, then there should be no problems with messing anything up.
By Alex at Thu, 2007/12/06 - 6:00am
Oh! Come on!
For all people crying about RC, just get over it!
KDE 4.0 is in a much better shape now, Do you know why? Because a lot of people test RC and submit bug reports, that was the plan, the idea behind the label, thanks to that KDE 4.0 improve a lot.
And, they didn't do anything to majority of their user base, people reading the dot, planetkde and testing alphas, betas, and RCs aren't the big portion of the user.
Any way, cheers to all developers.
By Luis at Tue, 2007/12/04 - 6:00am
Re: Oh! Come on!
"RC" stands for "Release Candidate". That means the developers think it is ready for release, mthough it might still have a few known minor bugs. The purpose of a release candidate is to expose the software to a wider audience in the hopes of shaking out a few more bugs. In no case should a release candidate be offered if there are any known major or critical bugs. In every case the candidate should be fully usable by the target audience. Such was *NOT* the case for the RC1.
Some people above argued that the RC was justified in that the libraries were ready for release. But it wasn't just the libraries that got the RC tag, it was everything else as well. Putting the RC on the desktop meant that someone thought the desktop worthy of the RC tag.
Telling me to "get over it" is doubly insulting. Has KDE become too sacred that we're no longer allowed to criticize?

I realize that my Hand Me Downs: A Poor Man's Heirlooms post was a huge wall of text, so I've decided to do a breakdown of it so that it's more useful to those who want try it out.
To do this, I'm going to do a breakdown of each class and show you which Hand Me Downs (HMD's) I suggest using for the given class and spec. I was going to combine the Mages and Warlocks into a single post, but I considered that even though they're both pure DPS classes and both wear the same gear (cloth), they don't necessarily want the same enchants in every slot. So I've split them back up and we'll move forward from here with the Warlock post.
Most of this information is copied and pasted from the original post, but I've put in specifics related to the Warlock class and specs and hopefully given a bit more detail and direction for why I chose what I did.
General Concept
The basic idea of what I call "hand-me-downs" (or HMD's) is that you're taking items that can be passed from one toon to the next (so Common, White-quality items) and enhancing them them to make them better. Enhancements that we're going to talk about here come mostly from the Enchanting profession, though a few may also be found in Blacksmithing (counterweights, sheild spikes, etc), Leatherworking (armor kits), and Engineering (scopes).
The whole point here is to get low level gear that you can pass around to any alts that you ever roll to make them more powerful starting out. As Cynwise and I have proved through experiment in both PvE and PvP at low levels, it isn't heirlooms that make your character so overpowered, it's actually the enchants.
So if you're trying to decide on which class to role, or what to go take one for a test drive for 10 levels or so before deciding whether or not to keep them, this is a great way to get a feel for how the class is going to play for you without putting in investment that's going to be wasted. Since these items can be passed around due to their lack of binding, it's not a big deal to roll a character, gain a few levels, scrap them and reroll another, and so on until you find a nice fit.
Obtaining Your HMD Caster Weapons
Arcane Forged Shortsword: 3-6 Damage (1.7 DPS), 2.6 Speed
Mana Gathering Staff: 5-9 Damage (2.1 DPS), 3.20 Speed
Apprentice's Staff: 3-5 Damage (1.3 DPS), 2.90 Speed
Arcane Forged Dirk: 1-4 Damage (1.7 DPS), 1.60 Speed
The first thing you need to decide when picking your caster weapon(s) is whether you want it to be one-handed or two-handed. The benefit of using a one-hand is that you can also equip off-hand items as you level, such as the books offered from the Inscription profession. The only real "benefit" of using a two-handed item as a HMD instead is that it can often look "cooler". I like my casters to have a staff even though I know I can usually get better stats overall from a one-hand plus off-hand combo.
The benefit of a staff really is that the staff weapons almost always look cooler than the swords or daggers that you would use for a Mage/Warlock HMD. You lose out on being able to use an off-hand item, and you get nothing in return save for the weapon's looks. You also need to consider the fact that these enchants usually have a glow effect on them which will make a Dagger look like a lightbulb in your hand (not really, but pretty close). A sword can have a really cool effect with the right enchant, and a staff will have the primary end glow when enchanted. All in all I just tend to lean towards a staff, though a sword tends to look the best when enchanted.
The first option up there, Arcane Forged Shortsword, is the one that I recommend using for your Warlock because it looks cool and because it's one-handed. Since you're a caster, it doesn't make a bit of difference which one you choose as far as damage and speed are concerned, because it's really just a source of stats for you via the enchant you place on it. I have four different staff weapons in my HMD collection, but I still prefer using the sword or dagger for the ability to make use of my off-hand. Despite my preference for a staff's look, I'm a min/maxer at heart so I'm suggesting the sword.
Weapon Enchants
Enchant Weapon – Spell Power: +30 Spell Power
Enchant Weapon – Mighty Intellect: +22 Intellect
Enchant Weapon – Healing Power: +29 Spell Power
Enchant 2H Weapon – Major Intellect: +9 Intellect
I'm going to make a slight variation from the Mage here. Warlocks don't have quite the same mana issues that a Mage or other caster might have, so I lean more towards +30 SP for a Warlock HMD. There's nothing wrong with +22 Intellect here, I just happen to have a personal preference for the higher SP because I'm a DoT-chuckin' fool and like to know my loot piñatas are nice and busted when I'm done with them.
If you can't afford (or find) those top three, then +9 Intellect should be both easy to find and cheap. It's not nearly as good as the others, but it's definitely better than nothing and 9 Spell Power and 135 Mana is still of great use to a low level toon.
Obtaining Your HMD Armor
Chest: Haliscan Jacket: 90 Armor
– Festival Dress: 13 Armor
– Simple Black Dress: 0 Armor
Bracer: Light Cloth Bracers: 9 Armor
Gloves: Light Cloth Gloves: 13 Armor
Feet: Dress Shoes: 9 Armor
Back: Linen Cloak: 12 Armor
*Waist: Light Cloth Belt: 12 Armor
*Legs: Haliscan Pantaloons: 77 Armor
– Black Tuxedo Pants: 54 Armor
This is an example of a full gear set that I would suggest for your HMD's. This particular set can be purchased form the Cloth Armor vendor in the Blood Elf starting zone, but there is a similar armor set that you can purchase in every starting zone that have the same stats.
There are a few armor pieces here that aren't vendor purchases though, and those are the Chest and Legs. There I have the pieces that are actually above and beyond the norm, and they are all crafted by Tailors. The Haliscan Jacket and Simple Black Dress are both able to be equipped at level 1, but they both have item levels over 35 which means they can be enchanted with recipes from the Burning Crusade expansion where other items cannot. If you can afford one of them, then I suggest you do it. The Haliscan is a shirt rather than a robe, so if you like to look more like a caster then you may prefer to the Dress instead, despite the 90 Armor difference.
The Festival Dress is just a cool looking robe for you to wear at low levels, and since part of using HMD's is looking cool I'm going to leave it up there. The Simple Black Dress might have a higher item level and be able to get better enchants on it, but it doesn't look nearly as cool as the Festival Dress.
I marked the Legs and Waist items because neither of those slots can actually be enchanted with anything worthwhile for a low level toon (16 armor from an armor kit is blah). You can get some more armor out of them, but that's it. I don't consider it worth my time or my bank space to hold onto those items since they offer so little benefit. If you want a complete "set" of the armor, then go ahead and buy them, but otherwise ignore those two slots.
Chest Enchants
Enchant Chest – Exceptional Stats: +6 All Stats [ilvl 35+]
Enchant Chest – Exceptional Health: +150 Health [ilvl 35+]
Enchant Chest – Greater Stats: +4 All Stats
Enchant Chest – Major Health: +100 Health
Enchant Chest – Major Mana: +100 Mana
Enchant Chest – Stats: +3 All Stats
Another slight deviation from the Mage thread here. I still feel that the +6 Stats is overall the best option for any class because it just offers so much across the board that it's hard to match, much less beat. However, I'm including the Health enchants for the Warlock because of how the class works.
You have Life Tap to restore your mana by sacrificing your health. If you're going to play Affliction, then I suggest you go for either +6 Stats or +150 Health, because I find the health much more important than mana. If you're going to use either Demo or Destro specs, then I suggest you go for Stats first, and then your preference of Health or Mana.
When playing Affliction I turn on my auto-run and circle a portion of the map casting Corruption on everything that lives until they're all dead. Some of those mobs will catch me while I'm running and try to gnaw on my face, so that extra health is more valuable than mana, especially because Corruption has a super-low mana cost. When doing this, it takes about 12 minutes to level from 1-7 on a Warlock without ever doing a single quest. It takes another 12 minutes to loot everything you killed and sell all the trash, but there's nothing we can do about that.
Bracer Enchants
Enchant Bracer – Healing Power: +15 Spell Power
Enchant Bracer – Greater Intellect: +7 Intellect
Enchant Bracer – Superior Stamina: +9 Stamina
I personally choose +15 SP for my bracer enchants, but the +7 Intellect enchant is a lot better than it used to be now that Int=SP. You can either have 15 Sp or you can have 7 SP and 105 Mana to go with it. It's up to you really, I just like to have that extra level of power from the 15 SP for my personal taste. I don't often run into mana issues on my Mages, but it's also the class I'm most familiar with leveling and playing, so I know how to work with what I've got.
I have included a Stamina enchant here for the same reason I brought the Health enchants to the chest. Warlocks don't generally have the same mana issues as other casters, so while Int does give SP, more health might be more important to you. It's last on the list because I don't feel it's necessarily the best enchant, and it's definitely a Warlock-specific HMD since the other cloth wearers are going to favor Int/SP over Stamina.
Glove Enchants
Enchant Gloves – Healing Power: +16 Spell Power
Enchant Gloves – Shadow Power: +20 Shadow Spell Power
Enchant Gloves – Fire Power: +20 Fire Spell Power
Enchant Gloves – Minor Haste: +10 Haste
Casters have a lot of really good options here. The generic enchant of choice is Healing Power for +16 SP to all of your spells, but if you know your'e going to spec for a specific damage type then you can go ahead and grab it instead. If you're going for a Destruction spec, then get Fire Power, and if you're going Affliction or Demonology spec then get Shadow Power. At least, I think Shadow > Fire for Demonology, but don't quote me on that one since I'm primarily Affliction.
If you're not sure of your spec, then go with Healing Power. Also remember that the purpose of HMD's is to pass them around on other toons, so they need to be reusable. For that reason, I personally go with +16 Spell Power rather than +20 to a specific type. Both Warlocks and Shadow/Discipline Priests make use of Shadow damage, and Mages and Warlocks both use Fire damage, so you can't go wrong with either one, but you do lose a little bit of reusability if you don't go for the generic +16 SP.
The drawback of those top three enchants is that they're all harder to come by than mots of the other enchants you'll use for HMD's because they're found in old raids. The mats can be a bit pricey on some servers, but they aren't as bad as some of the others.
The Minor Haste enchant is a very good choice and one I frequently use. For low level casting that 10 Haste equates to about 0.10 seconds off of your cast times. Warlocks actually make good use of Haste at early levels where some of the other classes do not, because the Haste makes your DoT's tick more frequently. I'm not sure how big of an impact that 10 Haste will give you, but it's definitely better than nothing.
Boot Enchants
Enchant Boots – Minor Speed: +7% Run Speed
Enchant Boots – Lesser Accuracy: +5 Hit
Casters get the shaft on boot enchants, with nothing really standing out. I lean towards the speed increase for my personal use, but you might prefer the +5 Hit. Run Speed will help you quest and level faster, while Accuracy will help you kill faster, so the choice is yours.
Since I'm often Affliction, I definitely prefer the run speed for a Warlock because it keeps those teeth that much further away from my face and hind quarters which is important. Having your DoT's miss when you're spreading them around a large group really sucks though, so the Hit enchant isn't a bad choice here either.
Caster Cloak Enchants
Enchant Cloak – Subtlety: -2% Threat
Enchant Cloak – Superior Defense: +70 Armor
While the cloak enchants still aren't outstanding, the threat reduction becomes much better for a Warlock because of your Pet. If you want an extra buffer to help keep agro on your pet, then this enchant is a good way to do it.
The armor enchant is easier to find that the threat enchant though, so you might have to settle for the armor one or do some looking for the threat.
Or, you might choose to ignore a cloak HMD all together like I often do for my casters.

Meet The Designer
"Careless elegance with some arrogance" TOMCSANYI /tɒm – tʃɑː – nji/ is a Budapest based contemporary womenswear brand. It all started in 2010 as a university project of the award winning Hungarian designer Dóri Tomcsányi, that gathered so much interest in the fashion industry (by Susie Bubble among others) that it actually became a real brand and conquered 3 continents in just 5 years. Playful freehand patterns and eye-catching color combinations, together with unique designs and high quality Italian fabrics make the brand stand out of the crowd effortlessly. The TOMCSANYI items are thoughtful yet fun, sailing between minimalism and eclecticism. They are characterized by a retrospective aesthetics recalling the bygone days of the Eastern-European socialist era, but it is strongly mixed with high-end fashion and top-notch minimalism, making the brand one of the most interesting Hungarian fashion labels. The brand puts great emphasis on sustainability and CSR, sourcing sustainable materials and producing everything locally in their Budapest studio. In 2016 TOMCSANYI Fine Knitwear line was born, complementing the product range with 100% wool knitted items, produced by a Hungarian manufacturer that employs people with changed working abilities.

Fox's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes led the way on Tuesday with $5.08 million. The critically acclaimed 3D sci-fi action sequel has now led the daily box office for eleven of the past twelve days. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was up 21 percent over Monday and down a respectable 47 percent from last Tuesday. The twelve-day total for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes stands at $148.49 million. That is ahead of pre-release expectations and places the film an impressive 32 percent ahead of the $112.34 million twelve-day take of 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Universal's The Purge: Anarchy held steady in second place with $3.56 million. The sequel to last year's break-out horror film was up 7 percent over Monday. While that represented the day's poorest daily percentage hold among wide releases, it also represented a far stronger first Tuesday hold than that of last year's The Purge (which fell 19 percent on its first Tuesday to gross $2.69 million). With a five-day start of $36.70 million, The Purge: Anarchy is now running just 8 percent behind the $40.06 million five-day take of The Purge.
Planes: Fire and Rescue took in $2.33 million to remain in third. The modestly budgeted computer animated sequel from Disney was up a healthy 26 percent over Monday. Planes: Fire and Rescue has grossed $21.69 million through five days. That is a bit below expectations and is 22 percent softer than the $27.81 million five-day take of last year's Planes. Planes: Fire and Rescue will hope to hold up well going forward due in part to the limited amount of options for family audiences throughout the rest of the summer.
Sony's Sex Tape placed in fourth with$1.97 million. The comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel finally showed some signs of stabilizing as it was up 27 percent over Monday. Sex Tape has grossed a significantly poorer than expected $18.13 million through five days of release. That places the film a very disappointing 54 percent behind the $39.53 million five-day start of 2011's Bad Teacher.
Transformers: Age of Extinction rounded out Tuesday's unchanged top five with $1.44 million. The fourth installment of Paramount's sci-fi action franchise was up 23 percent over Monday and down 44 percent from last Tuesday. Transformers: Age of Extinction has grossed $229.62 million through 26 days. That currently ranks the film as the fourth highest grossing release of 2014 thus far domestically and the film will soon pass by X-Men: Days of Future Past to move into third place.

After Toth used the word "gas" in terms of firing Gibbons, I got the feeling Wilner wanted to either reach through the phone line to strangle Toth or just hang up on the dumb fucker.
Apparently these two have had words in the past over the improper usage of the word "gas".

Dear anonymous,
Thank you for your constructive criticism, but for the record, there was no gratuitous "wacky tabacky" reference in the DJF story, nor in Wilner's blog.
So you see what we did there: we ADDED to the conversation with a little tiny smidget that we thought was relevant.
Now please fuck off and choke to death, or start your own blog if you're such a fucking authority on how it should be done.
- June 12, 2008 at 8:31 PM
Tao I think that your writing is shabby and I don't like you very much and I'm just going to go out of my way to say that your blog sucks.
Thanks for coming out guy!

Anonymous, I hear that you don't know how to spell hear.
Besides, if TSN reports something, does that mean Sportsnet shouldn't report it if they don't find out until later? The Tao and the Drunks may be similar media outlets but they are different blogs and not everyone reads both.

Ah, what are ya gonna do? Some days, we get praise we don't deserve, and some days we get anonymous criticisms that we don't agree with. It probably evens out in the end.

Maybe you should change your blog to analysis of the career of Jenny McCarthy. I mention this because I just saw a commercial for her movie Witless Protection and it reminded of when I first saw her in Playboy and then I felt sad.
But then the star of that movie is Larry the Cable Guy and I see DJF (who are quite good) compared Toth to Larry the Cable Guy. Anonymous would probably accuse you of ripping them off again.

Toth arguing with Wilner about baseball is like someone who owns every one of Nickelback's CDs debating music with a graduate from the Juilliard. There's no way they can even talk to each other, and they both think they're right.
Toth actually wrote this week that's there "something seriously wrong" with John Gibbons, who only had a cup of coffee in the majors, being the Jays manager while Gary Carter manages in a bus league.
But who do you think has the brighter baseball mind?
Carter, an all-star catcher who drove in 105 runs in '86?
Or Gibbons, a back-up catcher with 19 at-bats that season
(Cox Bloc already took care of the rebuttal.)
There doesn't seem to be a hard-and-fast rule whether being a good player informs how well you'd fare as a manager.
Anecdotally, Ted Williams' winning percentage as a manager was .429 -- not much higher than what he hit back in '41.
Look at some of the Hall of Fame managers ... Earl Weaver never played in the majors. Nor did Joe McCarthy or Billy Southworth. Tommy Lasorda's lifetime pitching record was 0-4. Walter Alston got one at-bat in the majors. Sparky Anderson hit .218 with no homers in his one-and-only season in the bigs.
Tony La Russa got 176 at-bats in the majors spread out across 11 years and hit .199 with zero home runs.
Genius, Toth.

Sager, if you listen to Friday's Prime Time podcast you'll probably quite enjoy Jeff Blair tearing apart Toth for that article.

"Ah, what are ya gonna do? Some days, we get praise we don't deserve, and some days we get anonymous criticisms that we don't agree with. It probably evens out in the end."
Your words are full of humility and a vivid consciousness that has changed my approach to life.

We've been in the hinterlands all weekend, and have yet to lay our ears on the PTS Blair v. Toth incident, but it makes us happy to know that it happened.
It almost makes up for losing two of three to the Cubs and dropping back below .500.

text: Friday, December 28, 2012 APTA Continues Advocacy on Cap and Cuts Solution; Encourages Members to Monitor Latest Updates Congress recessed last week without reaching a deal on sequestration or taking action to extend the Medicare therapy cap exceptions process and avoid cuts to the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula. The Senate resumed legislative business this week. Yesterday, House Speaker John Boehner issued notice that the House will return on Sunday, in hopes that legislators can reach a deal on the fiscal cliff before December 31. However, at this time it is uncertain whether a fiscal cliff deal will be voted on by the deadline. Thus far, congressional negotiators have indicated that an SGR "fix" and a provision to extend the cap exceptions process would be carried in the larger fiscal cliff package. APTA is continuing its lobbying efforts to extend the cap exceptions process and prevent SGR payment cuts. Over the next few days, you can weigh in with Congress via APTA's Legislative Action Center and look for information and updates on APTA's Latest Legislative Action webpage as the December 31 deadline approaches. You also can check APTA's Medicare Therapy Cap and Medicare Physician Fee Schedule webpages for up-to-date information. To help members comply with several new policies that will go into effect next week, APTA has posted "What You Need To Know on January 1, 2013" at www.apta.org/LegislativeAction/. Comments Thank you for the information. Posted by Heidi Harris -> ?IQZDF on 12/29/2012 1:11 PM I was hoping for an update this AM that reflects the details of the legislation that did pass. The most recent thing I could find is a List serve update from 1/1/13 that includes language from the Senate Bill but I'm looking for an update about what actually passed in the House. Thank you. Posted by Jeremy on 1/2/2013 8:10 AM January 2 updates are coming soon. Stay tuned to News Now and this page for changes: http://www.apta.org/Payment/Medicare/2013/Changes/ Posted by News Now Staff on 1/2/2013 10:12 AM

A settlement has been reached regarding the guardianship of Ariel Winter.
A Los Angeles judge has granted Shanelle Gray, the "Modern Family" star's older sister, permanent guardianship of the actress.
A temporary guardianship was granted in 2012 after Gray filed a petition alleging that their mother, Chrisoula Workman, subjected Winter to physical and emotional abuse. Workman denied the claims.
Winter, 16, will continue living with Gray and her brother-in-law, and will decide whether she wants to visit her mother.
Workman and Gray announced the agreement on Monday just before a guardianship trial was set to begin.
According to the AP, Ariel was present in court and cried while watching a video montage of family photos after the agreement was announced. Workman told the court she would relinquish her bid to reclaim her parental rights over her daughter if Winter agreed to watch the video. Clearly, it was not enough to get the young actress to change her mind.
Last year, Ariel opened up about her family issues for the first time.
"I didn't know my sister much growing up, and I wasn't really allowed to see her," Winter told Teen Vogue. "I know now that my sister is the type of person I'd aspire to grow up to be like. It's really interesting how close you can get with somebody in such a short period."
Ariel also detailed how her sister is helping her feel like a normal teenager for the first time.
"I've never had a curfew before. My life is definitely more normal — and that'll help me grow up like I'm supposed to," she said. "And I didn't have many friends. It was all about work. Nowadays, my sister's like, 'You're supposed to have friends. You're supposed to go out on Friday and Saturday nights.'"
She continued, "I had body insecurities when I was younger. I still do. Every girl has insecurities — mine were heightened at the time because my mother wasn't supportive." (Court documents filed by her sister included allegations that their mother insulted Ariel's weight and deprived her of food.) "Now, my sister is always making sure to tell me that I look beautiful."
The siblings' father, Glenn Workman, was named guardian of Winter's finances. The orders are effective until Ariel turns 18 on Jan. 28, 2016.

These are all the Logan History Blog posted on Wednesday, 17 August, 2011.
Welcome Back Logan High!
Soon the halls of Logan High School will be flooded with students to begin yet another school year. This will be the 94th year of operation for the school, a fact likely unknown to many of its returning students.
The school was established in 1917, and with the closing of Brigham Young College in 1926, the school soon moved to its present location into the old college buildings. Although some of these buildings are now gone, there are many stories that can be told about the various corners, hallways, and classrooms where so much has happened through the years.
The library has a treasured one-of-a-kind resource for anyone interested in researching some of these stories. Tucked into the Logan History Room is our collection of Logan High yearbooks which go back to 1924 with only a few years missing. Come and reminisce of times past or research the teenage life of a past relative!

Whats your H? The Colorado State University 4-H program has released a new media campaign. This campaign engages people to discover which one of the four Hs they most likely represent.
To refresh everyones New Years minds: The four Hs stand for head, heart, hands and health.
Each H represents different positive qualities a person has or can strive to obtain. Now, many people have more than one H; however, there is probably one that best represents you. You can go to the website www.colorado4h.org and take the survey to find out your H. Plus, if you are a current or alumni 4-H member, you can provide a picture and story of why that H represents you and has been an important aspect in your life.
Our state 4-H office asked the question to Gov. John Hickenlooper and his response was, Since I cant pick holiday or hiccup, my favorite words, or Hickenlooper, I think my favorite H is hands. Hands for larger service. This is an important concept for public servants.
I decided to ask some of our local 4-H members and alumna.
Ashley Little, our current La Plata County 4-H president, said, My H is head. Im a thinker. Im also a strong believer that knowledge is one of the greatest tools a person can have.
Sadie Yates, a senior member of the Pine River 4-H Club in the Bayfield area, responded with, My H is hands; because without your hands, it is difficult to accomplish anything, and we would be unable to serve.
La Plata County 4-H alumna Angela Fountain of Durango said, My H is heart. Heart to greater loyalty. It is important for us to be trustworthy, reliable and to love one another.
Mount Allison Go-Getters 4-H alumna Megan Semler, a current Colorado State University senior studying animal science, said, My H is head. 4-H has really prepared me to get a degree in higher education with the mentality to give back to my community.
My survey result was health. As I power through a nine-day nutritional cleanse and 30-day yoga challenge, I am humbly reminded of how important health is to my life. I am fortunate to have the Durango Community Recreation Center right next to the Fairgrounds office. However, I mostly look at health through a community lens.
Being an active member of the Celebrating Healthy Communities coalition, I get to collaboratively work with a diverse group of public and private organizations and individuals making a better living for our community. The overall positive health of our community, world and Earth inspire me to be a better person.
Enrollment for La Plata County 4-H is up and running. Returning members have until Feb. 1 to re-enroll without a late-fee penalty. All new members have until April 1.
From 10 a.m. to noon Feb. 2 at the Florida Grange, the Florida Four Leaf 4-H Club will be hosting an open house for anyone considering joining 4-H. They will have a diversity of projects on hand with members to share their 4-H experiences.
firstname.lastname@example.com or 382-6463. Greg Felsen is La Plata County 4-H youth development agent.

At the Butler County commissioners' public meeting of May 8, Commissioner Jim Eckstein's attorney, Larry Rodgers, publicly attacked both of us, referring to us as "baloney" numerous times, in a crude attempt to discredit our credibility as potential future witnesses in Commissioner Dale Pinkerton's defamation trial against Eckstein.
Rodgers' verbal diatribe was not only out of order and had nothing to do with county business, but also used a "lynching" metaphor in an unprofessional attempt to scare us.
Rodgers' attack against us reflects a similar strategy utilized by Eckstein at a prior commissioners meeting, one held on April 24, to shut us up in any future court trial.
But now, the alleged witness-tampering is getting worse by the day.
As a lawyer, Rodgers and his threats should be reprimanded; he's engaging in willful witness intimidation against us. In fact, during his public statement, his final remarks were as follows: "As they say in 'Gunsmoke,' hang them and teach them a lesson."
When Rodgers advocates, in a public forum, the "lynching" of potential lawsuit witnesses against his client, this attorney has gone too far and should be disciplined by the legal profession.
Finally, since Rodgers' intimidating remarks can be seen on Armstrong Cable's TV videotaping of the May 8 commissioners meeting, the public can thus decide if Eckstein's defense tactics involve engaging in witness intimidation — for the purpose of influencing testimony in our legal system.
So far, both of us have decided not to participate in any future trial, unless subpoenaed, as we feel our personal safety is in jeopardy.
Thus, these blatant attempts to harass, threaten and menace us need to stop immediately.

AAA are urging fans to prepare for the Super Bowl XLVII game by designating a sober driver or arranging for alternate transportation.
AAA is urging fans to prepare for the Super Bowl XLVII game by designating a sober driver or arranging for alternate transportation.
AAA also offers "Sober Ride" programs by state. These programs offer rides to intoxicated patrons (generally for a fee). While not a nationwide program, a number of AAA clubs also offer Tipsy Tow service for Super Bowl Sunday. It is only available in selected locations, although not in the Mid-Atlantic region. To learn more, visit duijusticelink.aaa.com/for-the-public/aaas-role/public-education/sober-ride.
AAA offers tips for a safe Super Bowl Party:
If you plan to drive, don't drink.If you plan to drink, select a designated driver and give them your car keys. If you don't have a designated driver, ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab, or stay where you are and sleep it off until you are sober.Buckle up—it's your best defense against other impaired drivers.If you observe an erratic driver while on the road, try to stay behind their vehicle and out of harm's way and call 911 or the police and report the driver. Be a responsible host:
Offer food and non-alcoholic beverages.Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers in advance, or help arrange ride-sharing with other sober drivers.Stop serving alcohol at the end of the third quarter of the game and begin serving coffee and dessert.Keep the numbers for local cab companies handy, and take the keys away from anyone who is thinking of driving while impaired.

After grueling year, one game carries significant weight
Bucs, Reds know how much advancing to NLDS means to franchises' futures
PITTSBURGH -- Both clubs in the National League Wild Card Game are toting some historical baggage, but they'd both be happy to carry it along to St. Louis for a Division Series later this week.
The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds meet Tuesday at 8:07 p.m. ET on TBS at PNC Park to determine which team has a 2013 postseason future. Having played 162 games to get to this point, they will rise or fall based on the outcome of one game. And for these two clubs, the importance of this game cannot be overstated.
The Pirates turned in 20 consecutive losing seasons between postseason appearances. The franchise has been waiting for this. Pittsburgh has been waiting for this. Expectations have been building toward this moment since 1992.
This is the feast after the famine for Bucs fans. You don't want to cut off the food service after a few bites.
"I'm looking forward to it, because it's significant to our city, it's significant to our fanbase," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Monday before his club had a workout at PNC Park. "This is part of what I envisioned when I signed up here."
On the other side of the argument, the Reds will be making their third postseason appearance in four years. That's way above the national average, but Cincinnati met with deep disappointment in both of those playoff appearances.
In 2010, the Reds were swept in a NLDS by the Phillies. In 2012, they took a 2-0 lead in a NLDS against the Giants, but then lost the next three games, in Cincinnati.
Much has been expected of the Reds, and they have fulfilled considerable promise during the regular seasons, including an NL Central title last season. But the postseasons have been disappointments. Maybe, with their ace, Johnny Cueto, in full health this time, it could be different.
"We were positioned pretty good last year," Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said Monday. "We weren't positioned very well in 2010 playing with a young team against a dynamite team. The Phillies had guys that could hit, they had speed and they could pitch. They had [Roy Halladay] and Cliff Lee and all those kind of cats.
"Last year, we were positioned pretty good. The only problem we had was Johnny Cueto [getting hurt], and that was big in the equation. We lost him in the first game, and we had to move [Mat] Latos up to the second game, and then we had to pitch [Mike] Leake and he didn't match up good against the Giants. And then we had to pitch Latos again in Game 5, and that would have been Johnny's game."
Cueto is back from a third stay on the disabled list this season and the Reds are thrilled to have him available. But Latos has been suffering from a bone spur in his pitching arm, although Cincinnati is hopeful he can pitch in the NLDS.
"Now we have Latos with a bit of any injury that we hope he can get over," Baker said, "but everybody is hurting this time of year. It's just a matter of how hurt you are. If you're not playing kind of hurt, you didn't play very much."
What matters here, Baker said, was not what happened at any point in the past, but how well Tuesday night's pitcher worked.
"I think Johnny is the best guy to have pitching for us [Tuesday night]," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "He's our best big-game pitcher. ... He loves the pressure."
The pressure on the Pirates can be found in the two decades worth of frustration finally being overtaken by something much better for Bucs fans. This game is so significant for this franchise and its loyal supporters that you wonder if all that it signifies could be something of a burden. But Hurdle says no, that it is what it seems to be, the mark of achievement.
"Oh, there's no weight here." Hurdle said. "When you envision something and believe in something that a lot of people can't see, and don't believe in and you get to that point where it's tangible and it's real, it's not a weight at all. It's somewhat of an accomplishment, and it's somewhat of tangible evidence that you're heading in the right direction.
"One thing that we've tried to do since I've been here is build something of significance, and one of things you get when you become a little significant is you get a playoff game.
"The sustainability is the next chapter that you need to build upon from there. That's something this organization we're playing against has done, making the playoffs three out of the last four years. The winner of this game is going to play an organization that has been able to achieve that [sustainability].
"The sustainability part is what is important in sport, in life, in marriage."
For now, one game means as much you want it to mean, for Pittsburgh fans, for Cincinnati fans and for two franchises that are good enough to give themselves this chance.

Best show-opener ever!! (in my opinion)The show-opener of the Chicago-gig from the Vertigo-tour is, according to me, the most breathtaking one I have ever seen or heard. This version of 'city of blinding lights' is perfect. Bono taking the high note in 'can you see the beauty inside of me' contributes to that feeling and experience. He doesn't often go for this high, though original, note. Adam and Larry are very in control and Edge's plays the song beautifully.

The prices of many precious metals fell last week after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's announcements regarding the Fed's projected end to quantitative easing (QE) by the middle of 2014. And they are continuing their weakening trend this week, bringing ETFs and other metals-themed products down to levels that that some analysts are pointing to as good buying opportunities for investors.
The general outlook of gold and silver prices, says ETF Securities Research, should stay negative while interest-rate expectations keep rising and the U.S. dollar continues to improve. This means there are plenty of "reasons for contrarian investors to look favorably on precious metals," wrote analysts Nitesh Shah and Nicholas Brooks in their outlook report on Friday for ETF Securities.
"At current levels gold, silver, platinum and palladium are estimated to be trading around or below their respective marginal costs of production," they said.
"Therefore, while further downside in the short-term is possible, investors with longer-term time horizons may start to look at the recent sell-off as a longer-term accumulation opportunity," Shan and Brooks emphasized.
Low and Lower
Gold prices dropped 7% last week, 5% for the month, 20% for three months and 18% for the past 12 months, according to Bloomberg data cited by ETF Securities. Meanwhile, silver fell even more — declining 8%, 11%, 31% and 29% during the same period.
Prices on platinum and palladium also have moved down, but not as dramatically.
Platinum decreased 6% last week, 6% for the past month, 14% for the past three months and 6% over the last 12 months. Palladium dropped 8% last week, 9% in the past 30 days and 12% in last 90 days, but is up 9% for the 12-month period.
"As long as the Fed continues to reaffirm its commitment to reduce QE in the coming months, it seems likely that gold prices will remain weak," the ETF Securities analysts said in their report.
But there are several factors that could change hurt U.S. growth, they add, and such a shift might prompt the Fed to step back from QE reductions. "With gold positioning so negative, this has the potential to stimulate a strong short-covering gold price move," the analysts wrote.
Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors, said before the Fed's latest announcement that he had expected a 10% drop in gold prices, but he also notes the potential for a 30% move on the upside over the next 18 months.
Platinum, Palladium
The recent price drops of these metals is likely associated with a more general move by investors away from "risky" cyclical assets "in reaction to expected reduced liquidity injections by the U.S. Fed later this year," Shah and Brooks say.
"In our view, however, to the degree that the Fed ultimately reduces its easing policy because of continued recovery of the U.S. economy," they conclude, "both platinum and palladium should benefit."
ETF Efforts
As metals prices have moved down in the past 12 months, metal-themed ETFs — of course — have declined as well.
The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) has seen large outflows. GLD fell roughly 12% in the past 30 days, about 23.5% year to date and 19% in the last 12 months.
The iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) has fallen roughly 7.5% for the month, 35% year to date and 28% in the past 12 months.
