If you are going to use your trek pole on cement, rock, hardwood floors, or any other hard surface you need the rubber boot. The carbide tip is noisy and will slip on surfaces it cannot penetrate, on a indoor floor it will cut into wood and scratch tile so beware. You will need to get three small w... Read More
Trekking pole replacement rubber tipsVerified Buyer Reviewed by Peggy from SD on Thursday, October 18, 2018I had ordered some Mountain Smith trekking poles and some of the Klomperdell replacement rubber tips in hope they would fit the poles I ordered. The replacement tips are a little to small in diameter to get on the Mountain Smith poles. Too bad! Maybe if you are stronger than I am you could get them on, but I couldn't.

Fits wellVerified Buyer Reviewed by NAN80 from South Bend IN on Wednesday, September 6, 2017I have some Komperdell hiking sticks I bought years ago via STP. When I went hiking this summer in Colorado, I realized it would be better for the sticks' longevity and effectiveness if they had a rubber shoe. So when I saw these and read the reviews, I figured they would fit and they did. I have not hiked with them yet.

Still BuyingVerified Buyer Reviewed by I Love Wool from West Oregon Cascade foothills on Saturday, March 25, 2017A lot of sticks you buy are now coming with a cheap piece of hard plastic that belongs in the recycling bin. These will replace that tip and unless you lose it, my experience is they will last as long as your stick(s). I don't do a lot of hiking now, but I do a lot of stream fishing and these tips are abused crawling over, around and through rocks. Afterwards, they have to dry out, usually in hot, dry weather and they have never cracked. I also expose them to saltwater when walking or fishing on the beach. Again, no issues. I always buy three to five packages of these, because I misplace the packages like crazy. i consider my self somewhat organized too, but either i have big mice or mean gremlins. That being said, the only time I need them is when I get new sticks. Someday, I will find the others and someone will get a great deal at my estate sale. I use them on Komperdell and Leki sticks without any fit issues. I use them on single sticks and on double sets of trekking poles.
QuietVerified Buyer Reviewed by Browning Lady from Nebraska on Wednesday, February 1, 2017I have been told these are a must. I am going hunting in the mountains and you don't want the metal tips to tap the rocks as you are approaching animals or it will spook them. These keep the tips quiet. Cheap insurance.

"Will these fit a Komperdell 7075 tip?"
It does not state the 7075 specifically, but according to Komperdell these should fit most of their poles.
"Please provide a couple of dimensions: Height of tip from opening to tip bottom, and inside diameter of opening. thx. "
The inside dimension is 7/16" and the overall height is 1 1/2". these fit fine on both Komperdelli and Leki poles.
"Anyone happen to know if these will fit the mountainsmith monotrek?"
I just tested mine on a pair of synergy sports (costco) set I bought at a estare sell for $5.00. The results, they fit better than the set already on the poles. I have also used them on Cabela'a walking, photo and shooting stick. These are truly a universal fit item in my experience. I suggest ordering more than one set.Just find a safe place to cache the extra ones.
"Are these tips compatible with Komperdell-Carbon-Approach-Vario-4-Compact-Trekking-Poles(Item#: 6428P)?"
I use them on my Komperdell Walker Antishock UL. Looking at their tips and that of the Komperdell-Carbon-Approach-Vario-4-Compact-Trekking-Poles, the tips should work both poles appear to have the same taper carbide tips.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The indebted builder of Dubai's palm-shaped islands says it plans to make early debt repayments of 4 billion dirhams, or $1.1 billion, this year.
Nakheel said in a statement Sunday that strong real estate growth and improved economic conditions in Dubai boosted its finances.
The company says it plans to pay another 3 billion dirham, or almost $817 million, in 2015 when the original first installment of 6.8 billion dirham was due.
The company owes $2.15 billion in bank debt and promises to repay trade creditors $1.23 billion in Islamic bonds that mature in 2016.
Nakheel's credit problems were a key trigger of Dubai's 2009 financial crisis, which prompted multibillion-dollar bailouts by the Abu Dhabi-based federal government.

Ulster County's rate of obesity is currently higher than the national average. The national target is to reduce the rate of obesity of children six to eleven years old by one in ten to a national rate of 16 percent. Nationwide, the numbers have been going the other way, with a linear trend toward an increased number of overweight children over time.
Children should not be judged by their weight or their dietary habits alone. Maintaining healthy habits can be accomplished in various ways, some effective though unorthodox.
Last Friday two New Paltz youngsters, Adam Mansour and Alex St. George, fulfilled what Alex's mother described as an eleven-year-old's dream by participating in a hamburger-eating contest at Kentucky Fried Chicken in New Paltz. The goal for their category, one out of three, tested whether at child under 13 could eat a five-stack hamburger called the Ocho Cinqo in under three minutes and 56 seconds. Those who could got the burger free. The boys both succeeded, but not in the allotted time. They're slow but enthusiastic eaters.
"Adam and Alex love the show Man Versus Food on the Travel Channel with host Adam Richmond," explained Alex's mother, Victoria St. George, "and this contest brings a little of the show to New Paltz."
But Alex St. George didn't rest on his laurels. The same day, reports his mother, he and his family walked across the Walkway Over the Hudson. And after the contest neither eleven-year-old ate anything until the next afternoon. Physical activity and nutrition are both big items in the St. George family: balanced meals, a lot of exercise, growing their own garden, a low-carb and high-protein diet, visits to the nutritionist.
Comparison with a 2007 study showed no difference in rate of obesity among Ulster County first and third graders in 2010 as measured by body mass index. Consistent with national trends, the local results show that the proportion of overweight and obese children increases from first to seventh grades, with a significant increase in overweight and obesity from third to fifth grade. In the first grade, 18 percent of Ulster schoolchildren are obese and an additional 14 percent overweight. The equivalent figures among seventh graders are 24 and 18 percent — an increase of about one third in each category.
Some Ulster County school districts had rates as high as one in two obese or overweight children, others as low as one in four. The study prepared by the Center for Research, Regional Education and Outreach (CRREO) of SUNY New Paltz cautioned that BMI does not account for muscle mass, which is higher among older students. Since data-collection methods were different in the various school systems, comparisons between the districts should be made with caution. "When comparing across school districts," the study conclusions warned, "there were no clear patterns, thus discouraging the use of overall county-level findings to understand each district individually."
"Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and has become our nation's number-one public-health issue," said Ulster County public health director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck. "Because obese children are likely to become obese adults, children are at increased risk for all of the associated health risks including Type Two diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Every sector of our community, including parents, educators, community leaders and health professionals, needs to work together to help reverse this trend and ensure a healthier future for our children."
The day of the hamburger-eating contest was Alex St. George's birthday. "It was a onetime fun activity," said his mother. "They had such a good time …. It's important to support within reason anything they do in moderation. My son had a tremendous feeling of accomplishment, but he said he'd never do it again. We're not terrible parents. We talked to them before and after. Let's explore it, we said. They have to expand their horizons. We process what they experience every time they walk through the door."
Victoria St. George said that she and her husband Scott, schoolteachers by profession, are very active people (garden, swimming, walking) who maintain a calendar of healthful activities. "We're very healthy, though we're all big people [he is six foot four, she five foot ten]," she said. "The spirit and the enthusiasm is important. You can't tell a kid 'no' all the time because they feel they are being bad."
Adam Mansour and Alex St. George are active Boy Scouts. They recently participated as scout color guards in a ceremony at the New Paltz Rural Cemetery. "It was a very emotional experience, very solemn and sobering," said Alex's mother.
The kids also went away to scout camp this summer for the first time. "They have to expand their horizons," explained Victoria St. George. "Parenting is the hardest thing. They feed back their experiences, and we talk .… This was a wonderful experience, a one-time fun activity. You have to experience something different in life."
As a component of its prevention agenda and a part of a statewide plan for overweight and obesity prevention, Ulster County's youth council, part of the county's Healthy Ulster continuing initiative, this past year chose obesity as one of its two priority health indicators. (Maternal plus child health was the subject of the other indicator).
The youth council decided, according to its minutes, to work toward joint-use agreements for after-school community programs. The aim is to include enhanced opportunities for physical activity and healthy snack choices, and to provide access to preventive health information. The group has more recently been looking at exercise facilities.
The county youth health council is one of four committees (healthy women, healthy seniors, healthy youth and healthy places), each in existence for one year, who reported at the Healthy Ulster summit.
Within the past year, Ulster County has secured a million-dollar "Creating Healthy Places" grant designed to combat obesity and Type Two diabetes through policy and environmental changes in selected communities in Ulster County. About 82 percent of Type Two diabetics in the state are obese or overweight, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control.
A significant 2005 English study examined the relationship between childhood obesity and children's level of physical activity. Children's parents or guardians were asked questions about a range of children's activities such as walking, sports and exercise activities, and active play. The levels of physical activity reported were then grouped into three categories: active, insufficiently active and sedentary.
Active children were active for 60 minutes per day for seven days in the last week. Insufficiently active kids were active for 30-59 minutes per day for seven days in the last week. Sedentary children were active at a lower level or not active at all.
Although no statistically significant differences were observed, there was a tendency for obesity rates to rise as children's levels of physical activity fell. Some 14.8 percent of those who were highly active were obese compared with 17.4 percent of those classified as sedentary.
Careful attention to physical activity is a keystone to health for everybody. A holistic perspective offers health benefits. "Everything is organic in my house," stated Victoria St. George. "Homemade granola bars, visits to farmers' market, gardening, regular checkups." ++

BREWSTER – Police have arrested a person they believe started a roaring fire that destroyed the Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church on Route 6A early Friday morning.
BREWSTER – Police have arrested a person they believe started a roaring fire that destroyed the Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church on Route 6A early Friday morning.
Adam Finnegan, 29, of Brewster was arrested Friday night and will be charged with one count of burning a building, according to a statement released by the state fire marshal's office.
"Whenever there is a fire in a house of worship, it has a tremendous impact on the fabric of a community," state Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan said in the statement. "I applaud the investigative team for working methodically and as quickly as possible to arrest the person they believe is responsible for this crime."
Jennifer Mieth, spokeswoman for the state fire marshal's office, confirmed early Friday that the fire, which broke out just before 3 a.m., was intentionally set. There were no injuries.
By late afternoon, the Brewster police already had a suspect, said Police Chief Richard Koch Jr.
The building, dedicated in 1987 and enlarged and renovated in 1997, holds 300 people, Pastor Myron Heckman said Friday.
"It holds a lot of memories," he said "A lot of baptisms, weddings, just the milestones of life. But it's a building and we have got to hold those things loosely and hold on to people a lot more tightly."
Heckman has been the pastor for 34 years, starting when the church was founded in 1978. The members met in a rented space in Orleans for 10 years before buying the land in Brewster. Now, the average Sunday attendance runs about 250, he said.
The church's automatic fire alarm went off at 2:58 a.m. Friday. When the Brewster Fire Department arrived minutes later, they found flames engulfing and towering over the large building.
The department upgraded the blaze to three alarms, calling in firefighters from as far away as Wellfleet and Yarmouth, Orleans Deputy Fire Chief Anthony Pike said.
At one point, three ladder trucks were shooting water at the roof of the church, which overlooks Route 6A.
One ladder truck was still pouring water on the collapsed roof six hours later.
By then, the roof had caved in entirely, and a truck had pulled down one wall to get at the smothering areas buried by the debris.
The cleanup crew and firefighters carefully picked away at the remains because they did not want to destroy any evidence, Orleans Fire Chief William Quinn said.
By late in the morning, heavy equipment had leveled any sections of the structure still left standing.
"It's surreal," said Jeff Kobold, a church member who watched in the early morning hours. "There's a reason for it. We don't know what it is. But we have the faith that there is a purpose to it."
The church is affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
The members travel all over the world to set up other churches and help the needy, Kobold said.
A group of about 20 members just returned from the Dominican Republic, said Lindsay Strode, owner of Cape Organics and a member.
Strobe watched as a truck tore up the landscaping he had worked on in the last year for the church.
"That's OK," he said. "I know where to get more plants."
The church offers a popular Kids Night on the first Friday of the month, which is attended by 60 or 70 children, many of whom are not church members, Strobe said.
It's the open and friendly attitude of the membership that first attracted Strobe to the church about 16 years ago, he said.
"Circumstances don't define who we are," Strobe said. "If you let circumstances define you, they become overwhelming. We'll be OK."
The water used to fight the fire flooded a basement classroom of The Family School, a preschool located down the hill from the church. About four inches of water filled a classroom, said Marcia Galazzi, the school's owner.
The Brewster Department of Public Works dug a trench to divert the water away from the school, she said.
Galazzi delayed the opening of the school until 10 a.m.
Mieth said there is nothing to indicate this fire had anything to do with another ongoing investigation of arson fires last month in in Halifax and Plympton.

Remember when Sony announced the PlayStation 4? Well, you should do, because it was just under two months ago. But two months can be a very long time in the games industry. Sony managed to beat Microsoft to the punch and reveal plenty of details about its next-generation console, showing off juicy bits of information such as a new controller and new games. Microsoft was expected to react with a vengeance and tell us what it had up its sleeve, but things have gone a little too quiet on that front.
At the end of the day, all that matters is when the customer drops the cash on the counter and walks home with his/her new system.
Microsoft may be staying quiet, and some impatient people might be writing them off based on (admittedly realistic) rumors, but we'll see if these same people flip-flop and run out and buy a 720 or PS4 on launch day.
Good point. What I'm concerned with is if there's not enough PS4s/720s in stock on release, people might get the other system instead. So even if 75% of consumers want a PS4 on launch day after 720 announcement, if there's a shortage of PS4s and 720 is out at around the same time, those people might flock over to 720 instead. Or vice versa. But that's business I guess.
But that's how it always goes. Pretty much every platform launch is sold out, for one reason or another. Even the PS3 with its supposedly "slow launch" was either sold out or had very limited supply for the first month.
I disagree. If a PS4 is genuinely the console you want, you will get a PS4 despite having to wait a little longer for it. Unless you need a console to sell on Ebay at a profit or you have an inferiority complex that pushes you to always buy the latest and greatest in tech as this purchases determines your value as a human being, I don't see to many people "settling" for the other console due to lack of availability. I can GUARANTEE you that both of these consoles will sell out at launch regardless of when they come out.
get ahead of what exactly? the ps4 has not been released. so how is it somehow ahead?
^^I'd like an answer to that question as well.
Im not going to buy one and not the other. I like what the PS4 offers so I'm getting it. If MS wants my money they better show me something worth buying. I own a wii an xbox and ps3 because at one point I found value in them. I dont own a wii u because it holds no vslue to me. When it does, I'll buy one. Why is it a VS thing? This wasn't a console war last generation.
really? i mean if i set out to buy a banana but there weren't any i would look somewhere else i wouldn't suddenly decide "you know what i quite fancy an apple"
on-topic: its still way to early if MS has anything to learn from sony is how successful they were despite launching a year late and despite the price tag and all the other mistakes they made. because sony provided a better service and a reason for people to buy the ps3 in other words a variety of exclusives. PS+ gives you a large number of free games for the same price xbox live charges you just for the privilege of using the internet and playing your games online (keeping in mind you already paid for your internet connection and you already paid full price for your game).
It boggles me how anyone could disagree with that good point of yours. It's something alot of people overlook when taking everything into account on how well a system sells during launch. Interms of new consoles, if both 720 and PS4 releases in the same period then it will mean alot of parents will either choose PS4 over 720 or vice versa depending on which console is in stock. Parents really don't give a damn about minor differences in consoles, if they know a new console is coming out they'll want to get one for their kid. If PS4 is out of stock, you'll bet your ass they'll get 720 because they don't want their kids to be without a new console come holiday time, same goes for PS4 if 720 is out of stock.
E3 is less than two months away.
Not long to go now.
Logic, I think fanboys will wait for sure. People that like a particular games that is available will wait. Those with lots of disposable income will buy what's available if they plan to get both anyway.
I don't understand how people still believe in that exclusives nonsense. Have you seen the sales of Starhawk and Battle Royale. MS would have killed for two things. A normal failure rate and Sony's reputation going into the current generation. RRoD alone should have killed the 360. Sony's reputation alone should have allowed them to quickly catch MS. But that didn't happen. It took Sony 7 years to catch up. If exclusives mattered it would have happened in the PS3's second or third year. The PS2 sold over 100 million in 5 years. If those exclusives meant anything the PS3 should have hit 100 million last year or sooner.
In the US most parents will buy what they're told or will get a gift card. Children are often spoiled and many parents are scared to disappoint them. Americans can be stupid when it comes to appeasing kids. Watch the doors open on a Black Friday.
Yaawn Silly article!
We all know Microsoft has stacks on deck to advertise the CRAP outta stuff. I have no worries about MS marketing department, even when their products SUCK you are still hyped for them.
MS will wait until E3 to unveil the x720 and ride that momentum until the Holiday season and CASH OUT!
Sony had to strike first cause being second with the PS3 really had SOny playing catch up and made things rough for those first 2 years.
If anything Nintendo and that "What's a WiiU" need to do somtehing. WiiU is like the console of the forgotten.
What hurt Sony in the beginning was price and probably to a degree the online being in it's infantcy and game quality becaus the ps3 did out sell the 360 for a bit in the beginning.
MS will spend money on marketing and that's what they should do, but it is not going to dictate sales. They've spent a boatload on Surface, Windows 8, and Windows Phone... but at the end of the day the numbers on those products are sad and have poor reviews. I have no doubt the 720 will sell out at launch, but if its not a product that people want then it won't be as successful... regardless of the success of the 360.
ATI this is definitely a farticle.
Marketing doesn't work as well on products that people don't really want. But it does really well on one they do. And many will want the next consoles.
But I think MS is so quiet because they are planning to roll out the 720 in many ways. Through retail, subsidies and cable companies. Pachter is right on that. The leak from last Summer spelled it all out. That method may create a install base that will be next to impossible for Sony to match. Especially if they add 720 capability to Samsung TVs. That would be a key. They already have relationships with all of the cable companies.
If the PS4 isn't also a cable-box, Sony needs to get that done. Xbox 720 hardware in a cable-box could even be used to rent digital copies of games or allow for a Gamefly digital rental service on the Xbox mini.
Actually that Gamefly thing would be a great selling point for Live. A Digital rental service. Without them choosing for you like on PSN+.
The problem I see with your argument there is the assumption that people would want tv integration from their cable provider on a game console when they more than likely already have advanced receivers with DVR and on-demand features. It's a play by Microsoft to have a more broad appeal than just playing games... but adding this with always online and blocking used games, though just rumors at this point, they run the risk of alienating a substantial number of current customers who just play games and maybe use Netflix/Hulu beyond that. People who are not dedicated to the brand and won't just buy the next iteration regardless.
I am one such consumer and it's painfully clear that I'm not alone. A gamer looking for value in gaming. PS4 looks promising on that front and I am very disinterested in the 720 from the rumors, but I am waiting for the reveal. MS is not going to sell me on always online, cable providers, or deep Kinect integration. I just don't care about having that. I want games and I want to hear the level of excitement from developers creating games for the 720 that we've heard for the PS4.
Digital game rentals/streaming will likely be common with both PS4 and 720. Bringing in Gamefly just adds yet another layer of subscription. PS+ will likely be tiered to include the Gaikai service or not.
Monkey, I see it as both. You may want everything to run through your receiver. Same here. But as you know, advanced receivers have HDMI on them. It would still run through them. But the way I see this, and I think it's the way they look at it, is having a machine in the house that already has the games ability is to their advantage.
They can undercut Motorola, who seem to have most of the set-top space. And at the same time have their games in your living room whether you wanted them there or not. Right now, cable companies charge anywhere from $13-15 for a DVR that they provide software for. Imagine MS says we'll take care of the software and we'll sell you the boxes for less than Motorola. Now instead of a regular cable box, you get a Xbox-Mini cablebox. Everyone.
The ones that game will have that. The ones that don't will have a DVR and cablebox. But sometimes those people will hear about a game or the Grand-kids will be over. And games will be bought. And I don't buy into the fanboy sense of always on. I think it's the normal cable-box always on. And Sony is just as likely to block used games as MS. They will just excuse it as the develop did it. Though it will happen with Sony patented technology.
I've also never understood the "It does more than I want for the same price" mentality. So what. Just use what you want. The PS4 will do all of the same things. If you don't like it. You might as well get a Wii U now because both will have those features. As for developer support. You hear about that so much because that hasn't been Sony's MO. They usually didn't care about tools as much and developer support. MS has been there with better tools and support from day one. They've been known to assign an engineer or two to bigger developers and sending them to the company. All of those things about developers fleeing MS are fanboy propaganda.
I agree completely on your last comment. Both will end up renting games. Gamefly might be brought in for one not as an extra layer, but as name recognition. Sadly people will follow a name. If it has a built-in install base, why not use it. It why restaurants advertise Coke and Pepsi.
Even Microsoft is jumping on Sony's hype train.
I don't blame them, it's free Publicity.
What matters in a gaming context is "Where are the Games?!" And in that regard MS are proving themselves as being focused solely on the popular and what sales. Not realizing, not caring, how games have become limited as a result.
And while Sony isn't as focused on just spewing content for money, makes games for their system rather than wait for 3rd parties, they've been as narrow as only considering "AAA" titles.
"where are the games?!"
Just like the new Xbox, they haven't been announced yet.
Lol watch MS open the flood gates of hardcore exclusive games come E3. Its funny because you and everyone else will be "So surprised."
If MS supplied its fans with high quantity of core games for the first 5 years of THIS GEN then what makes you think they can't do it again next gen. Last I check MS has more support for core games so going on to next gen that could last a hell of allot longer then 5 years.
that's seems to be the only thing people complain about MS this gen. In 2011 the quantity of exclusives simply dropped and Sony's has risen. Therefor Sony's better.
I guess the internet will be happy with MS if they just simply supplied more games.
@Stage wheres your proof. Show me any time before 2011 MS went casual. Do you know MS line up in then and now?

A big mixture with core in 2010, obviously Kinect released in the holiday. Overall still satisfying year for me. Crack Down, reach, fable, Ninety Nine Nights. Not on list but Splinter Cell.
So in an argument regarding 1st party "hardcore" - again, H-A-R-D-C-O-R-E - games you can only vomit off list which include 3rd party casual and party titles.
You don't even understand the question.
@ AngeliclceDiamond
I haven't been bored of my Xbox 360 at all this generation. Same goes for my PS3 to though.
@angelic - wow sorry but that 2010 list is bad ! Was that fable3 ? Terrible , reach was ok, crackdown ? Looks like a ps1 game lol ... I think your argument got worse ...
Kinectimals - must be rated M huh , lol
I think it has a lot to do with what's coming out( game wise )
Day one buyers are going for games nothing else really matters.
Specs are fun to argue about but for me it's all about games.
KILLZONE SHADOW FALL my #1 reason for wanting PS4
How is Sony getting too far?? They announced PS4 in February and haven't made any more announcements since. E3 is only two months away and Microsoft will make a bigger splash if they hold their announcement and just surprise everyone at E3 with guns blazing instead of prematurely blowing their load like Sony and showing us stuff we've already seen before at E3 like they've done for the past 2 E3's.
True being the only one of the big 3 showing new console will help Crete hype, but Sony is still yet to show the ps4, and I'm sure both will have lots of games and features to show off... Price and release date are the biggies.
But I feel that all eyes are on Nintendo cause they really need to show off a lot of games, there year long "head start" was wasted
M$ has stayed too quiet... as if they were telling people that there is no next gen Xbox in the works.
That is not good.
Sony strategy to to let the world know that there is a PS4 in the works even if there was no console to show was indeed very clever.
Sony capitalized on the "we do not comment on rumors and speculations" stuff M$ probably by now is being bombarded by gamers for two months now.
I really feel Sony caught M$ off guard this time.
Like how Nintendo realized with GameCube it cannot go head to head with PlayStation 3 for the core gamer's market and went for the causal market, I feel M$ will also go full blast with casuals with Kinect 2.
Sony will stay with the core gaming community it helped build with the PS1 and PS2. They did not sway too far to the left nor right with PS Move.
They will stay at the center core gaming.
Can the Stupid IDIOTS who wrote this article Please explain the title and just how is SOny ahead when the PS4 is NOT EVEN ON SALE YET!!!
Yes SOny has a lot of Hype right now cause they announced first but NO ONE is winning yet!
when the systems go on sale then the competition starts.
There is no need to rush. An E3 reveal will suffice. Any later than that however would be a cause for concern.
Too far ahead...First they have to reveal theirs....lol No need to rush. Xbox is gonna be great. I don't blame them for not being shaken by anything shown by sony already. MS reveal will be bigger and reveal more and be better overall. It's one of the perks of not going first.
The can reveal the next xbox tomorrow, if it has always online than they can keep it. Everyone else can feel free to spend their money wherever they want to, but I will not be buying an always online console.
If the rumors are true, the "always online" feature will only be applicable to the subsidized subscription version of the console. This would give MS constant access to your 720 in order to brick the machine via the Internet if you miss a monthy payment.
However, by paying full price for the console at launch, you will avoid all of this.
All MS is doing is giving people OPTIONS. You make it seem like people will be pigeonholed into the first option, which isn't true.
What you say makes sense, but common sense says that Microsoft will move forward with this "always online" thing (if it turns out true). So, for 720 they may require a connection for subsidized model, which makes sense, but come Next-next-gen (after 720), it's not too far of a step to require online for all models, since they will have introduced it with 720, making people familiar with the idea. Then we'll be stuck with DRM and other tricks out the bung-hole.
I hope people fight the idea of Always-Online at least for the duration of this coming gen.
a 5+ years generation of consoles will not be decided by a 3 months gap between their respective reveals.
Thank you.
Yes but no year and a half head start will hurt them... This time around they will be going head to head with the PS4. Negative rumors are currently hurting them, and in the same time frame of negative rumors, Sony is enjoying good press and good hype, and good things being said by developers... This is also hurting Xbox.
What will help them is a good E3 with good games... On the other hand showing that these negative rumors are true and they really are kinect centric and going more towards casual then that will be BAD.
How is this hurting them? 360 continues to be the leading console in the biggest market, surely all these current owners lets say in 2014-2020 aren't going to just skip the next Xbox because of some "negative" rumor in mid 2013, lol most of the potential fanbase doesn't know or could care less, the hardcore news followers of course will buy most likely both or already have their mind made up which console brand they prefer.
I tend to agree, it has taken them forever to launch it, and I also think it is a stupid idea pushing the revealing event towards the end of May!! I was thinking end of April is too late, so go figure!!
Also lots of speculations are going around, answering the customers with "no comment" or "we don't respond to speculations" is a rather rude response, esp. gamers are eager, to see the new device.
As for the always-online feature, It wouldn't work properly in the ME and I know that for sure, so I do hope they have a backup plan
Irrelavent. As long as everyone has all their questions answered by the time these consoles launch, neither MS/Sony will have a problem. The only thing a 3 month gap will do for the 720 is make people more curious about it. Its funny, when it was rumored that the PS4 would only be slightly more powerful than the PS3, I didn't hear anyone putting Sony in a doom and gloom scenario. Yet when its rumored that the 720 will be always online, they're doomed.
Talk about double standards.
I do agree that MS waiting 3 months laters or so till next month to reveal their 720 won't hurt them if it's a good show and puts rumors to rest. PS4 being just a little bit stronger than a PS3 would still be alot stronger than a 720 so that's why you didn't hear much about that. Always online is universally hated so that's why that blew up so that's not even close to a so called double standard and the facepalm would be only for MS.
Come and live in the Middle East, try there internet connection, after that come and diss my argument and faceplam as much as you desire
Too far ahead of what?.... opinions on N4G? They merely need to announce at E3 and launch in 2013 to be all caught up.
why do people care so much about when they show the console...once the consoles comes out, everyone will forget when they showed the console. all these idiots just wanna see the console.
I think MS should have one show before E3, showing a console at E3 isn't a bad thing, but it isn't enough time to show everything MS may have in mind. The PS4 unveiling took 2 hours and Sony has more to show.
MS may now show anything until E3 and then have another show after that or show give more information during gamescom. It doesn't matter when its shown as long as it comes out along side the PS4.
Next gen starts when Microsoft say it starts. /jk
Too far ahead? In what? Hype? Haha you need to improve your topics, this is a LOL article
no they don't because there is no such thing as too far ahead until preorder are taken and actual system sale (preorders can be changed before system release) so Microsoft can still do what they've always done and keep it close to the chest and wait for the e3 to make up your mind or change it. so just be patient and stop acting like spoiled brats. the squeaky wheal doesn't always get the oil when it wants it.
Did the PS4 launch without me knowing? Otherwise I think Microsoft is fine for now. Neither console has shown a console, you cant pre-order either one, Microsoft is finally starting to get some positive rumors, and the ball is in Microsoft's court for when they want to show us, looks like May 21st will be the day, which isn't too long off now.
You can pre-order a PS4 now anywhere games are sold, its been this way since the january reveal. FAILTROLL FACEPALM.
You cannot pre-order a PS4 on Amazon, at Gamestop, Walmart, Best Buy or any other retailer that I know of. Gamestop has a "first to know" list, but that's about it.
MS dont need to reveal there hand before Sony they aren't panicking and sees the ps4 as no threat. If they had worries and panick we would have seen the next xbox unvailing a month ago.
I think Sony was the scared got wind of what MS was doing and blinked first. Like i said in another thread games that were shown on ps4 isn't that much of an upgrade over current gen.
You do realize the Xbox brand is nothing outside of North America, right? If MS doesn't own the North American market they are a distant 3rd instead of neck and neck with Sony. If you love MS and Xbox, for your sake I hope MS is taking the PS4 a little more seriously than you are. It wouldn't be hard at all for them to get dominated in sales like they were with the original Xbox against the PS2.
If MS gets cocky and thinks they can release a restrictive console without compelling 1st party games, they will not achieve the same success. I'm open to every console but quite frankly MS has to blow the doors off for me to consider getting a 720.
No that doesn't really matter. It's probably going to win in the US no matter what.
PS3 launched much later than the 360 and it eventually caught up in shipments. Too bad you can't say the same for actual console sales or profitability.
Shipments numbers isn't the be all indicator of who is successfull but it is one of them. Neither one just sends out shipments just because they can, they were sent out because they were ordered and they were to replace ones that people bought.
They are hardly to far ahead.
Specs and a pic of a control.
Be patient people.
There is not a big gaming scene with my friends but none of them is vaguely interested in consoles anymore.Everyone just got a pc.I myself havent even plugged in any console in months.
Among the kids its like everyone wants an iPad.
Yep,MS needs to hurry because Sony will reveal PS5 soon.
the kaz train is gonna curbstomp the kinectbox 2.0
I do not give a shit about the next Xbox. Had 11 RROD of the 12 I bought. Was a huge fan. PC and Ps4. Great combination. Pc for next next gen and Ps4 for next gen.
If you really "bought" 12 Xbox's I would say you should have learned something after 6 and stopped buying more. Nobody at fault here but yourself for 12 purchased xbox's...IF true (which I highly doubt).
I'm pretty darn sure it'll be announced when that countdown on major nelson's blog runs out...which is right at e3 time.
I honestly don't think there is going to be a may 21st reveal date as ms are probably just holding off for e3.
Ive read a few more "casual" game articles here and there from places like Yahoo news (insert laughter here). Only clicked on them because like all of you I love video games,so a game related article often gets a click. Anyway..When I read one, it doesnt talk about the revealed PS4 specs,fears MS will be watching you with Kinect, or even that MS hasnt shown ANYTHING yet.Its just basic Sony and MS are due to have next gen consoles out by the Holidays. That being said,I dont feel MS has fallen behind in a race that has not even started.
At this point I couldn't care less about the next Xbox! I was curious but now I'm over it! I'll be getting a PS4!!!
Its going to be revealed in MAY.. Nothing can be done about that

Denny Morrison's summer bike crash was latest injury to slow down, but not stop speedskater
The day started off in glorious fashion as a pack of Canadian speedskaters traded their blades for bikes and set off for a group ride in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Then came a miscommunication of sorts, and a chain reaction that left Ted-Jan Bloemen, Denny Morrison and Ivanie Blondin splayed on the hardtop with varying degrees of road rash.
Bloemen is the world record holder in the 10,000 metres and a silver and bronze medallist at the 2015 world single distance championships. Morrison – no stranger to calamity as the survivor of a terrifying motorcycle crash and a stroke in the span of a year – is a four-time visitor to the Olympic podium. Blondin is the reigning world champion in the mass start.
All three have Olympic medal potential on a resurgent Canadian team that brings back memories of the glory days of Catriona Le May Doan, Cindy Klassen, Jeremy Wotherspoon, Kristina Groves, Clara Hughes and Co.
"It was an unfortunate accident," says Bloemen, who went to hospital that July day with cuts to his face and a badly sprained wrist. "Luckily, my bike took more of a hit than myself."
Bloemen was the first to go down after the rider in front of him suddenly braked and swerved to avoid a rumble strip. Then came Blondin and Morrison, one after the other.
"Ted went down," Blondin says. "I pummelled Ted and his bike. I destroyed his frame in three places. Then Denny went into me and cracked my frame into three places. We all went flying."
In the aftermath, a crumpled and bleeding Morrison just lay there with his eyes closed and said nothing, leaving Blondin to fear her teammate had suffered a second stroke amid the chaos.
"I was hurting so bad and there were sounds coming out of me to the point I didn't know what the hell was going on," Blondin says. "And then I saw Denny and forgot about anything that was going on with my body or my bike or with Ted. I turned into mama bear. Like, 'Denny, are you OK?'"
This time, Morrison was OK even though he was under strict orders from the doctor to not let his heart race too fast.
"I got a little bruised up and broke some skin," Morrison says. "Nothing major."
Thankfully for Canada, all three walked away from the crash with no critical injuries heading into the 2016-17 World Cup season.
At this rate, Speed Skating Canada will ask Morrison to encase himself in bubble wrap every time he leaves the Olympic Oval.
"It's always a bit scary when you hear those kinds of things," says Mike Crowe, head coach of the Canadian long track team. "It's like, 'Oh not again.' Your heart sinks and your head races a little bit."
The trio is back on the ice this week in Calgary at the fall World Cup selections for the right to represent Canada on tour.
Bloemen and Blondin are already pre-qualified based on their results from last season, but Morrison must battle to get back on the team after missing the 2015-16 campaign due to a laundry list of injuries from that near-fatal motorcycle collision.
Compounding matters, the Fort St. John, B.C. native suffered a stroke in April after a 25-day mountain bike trek on the Arizona Trail. He is still working his way back to peak fitness, but set a personal best earlier this month in the 3,000 metres.
He will compete this week in the 500 metres, the 1,000 and the 1,500.
"At the Olympics in Sochi, I didn't feel nervous because I was so ready and so prepared," Morrison says. "I'm not afraid to admit I feel nervous right now. In spite of all the work I've done, there's still more work to do."
The wrist injury forced Bloemen to work out for two weeks on a stationary bike in his living room with the Rio Olympics on TV as inspiration.
The 30-year-old Dutchman moved to Canada in 2014 after a decade of spinning in circles with little success in the speedskating-mad Netherlands. The dual citizen broke out last season with the world record in the 10,000 metres and four World Cup medals. He set a new Canadian record of three minutes, 43.21 seconds in the 5,000 metres earlier this month to serve notice of his intentions for this season.
"I'm really looking forward to showing that it wasn't just one lucky shot," he says.
With Morrison on the sidelines, Canada won 30 World Cup medals in long track last year – the highest total since the glory days of 2008-09.
Gilmore Junio initially thought his good friend Denny Morrison was joking in April when he announced via Twitter he had suffered a stroke in Utah.
Once he realized the truth of the matter, Junio recalls thinking for a split second that the Canadian speedskating legend could be forced into retirement.
Then he corrected himself. If Morrison can battle back from a near-fatal motorcycle crash, then a stroke represents just yet another bump on the road to the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea.
"I've learned my lesson to never doubt Denny," says Junio, who finished third overall last season in the World Cup rankings in his signature distance of the 500 metres. "Denny is Superman, and Superman always comes back."


text: Home » News » Intel to postpone mass shipments of Ivy Bridge processors Intel to postpone mass shipments of Ivy Bridge processors MIG-31 February 16, 2012 News Intel recently notified its partners about plans to postpone mass shipments of its upcoming Ivy Bridge processors. Despite that the company will still announce the new products and ship a small volume of the processors in early April, mass shipments are not expected to occur until after June, according to sources from notebook players. Because most first-tier notebook vendors are having trouble digesting their Sandy Bridge notebook inventories due to the weak global economy, while Intel is also troubled by its Sandy Bridge processor inventory, the CPU giant plans to delay mass shipments of the new processors to minimize the impact, the sources noted. With Intel changing its launch schedule, notebook vendors have all started adjusting their projects for new Ivy Bridge models; however, the notebook vendors still believe the PC replacement trend is unlikely to start until after September, when Microsoft launches Windows 8, and the first three quarters of 2012 will still be a dark period for the notebook industry. However, Intel's decision to slow down its Ivy Bridge processor launch will benefit USB 3.0 chipmakers such as Renesas, ASMedia and Etron allowing them to earn an extra quarter of sales, according to sources from the chipmakers. The sources pointed out that the share of third-party USB 3.0 chipmakers in the notebook market was originally expected to drop to only around 20% in 2012, but with Intel's delay, their share is expected to climb back to 50%.

State Sen. Fuller Clark: I'm off the road, for now
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
State Sen. Martha Fuller Clark has voluntarily stopped driving and won't resume until doctors can determine the cause of a blackout that preceded a Friday night automobile accident that injured a pedestrian, her lawyer said Monday.
The announcement came after Portsmouth police said they will likely ask the state Division of Motor Vehicles to review the driver's license of Fuller Clark, who is 70. The accident took place on Maplewood Avenue in Portsmouth. It is the second automobile accident for Fuller Clark in the last two months.
Fuller Clark's lawyer, Jack Sanders of Porstmouth, said Fuller Clark has not driven since the accident, and her physician is undertaking a medical evaluation.
"She has no plans on driving until she gets to the bottom of the medical issue," Sanders said. Eleven years ago, Fuller Clark said she had been diagnosed with sleep apnea, after being videotaped sleeping while debate took place on the floor of the New Hampshire House.
Fuller Clark is the first vice chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, the second highest position in the party structure. She has held elected positions in the New Hampshire House or Senate for most of the last two decades.
On Monday, Portsmouth police Capt. Frank Warchol said police will likely ask for the DMV license review and not seek criminal charges against Fuller Clark.
Police can ask for an administrative review of a license following a serious accident or for medical reasons.
According to DMV spokesman Gregg Champlin, the review is handled out of the office of the director of the DMV. Potential outcomes include license suspension, a re-test for a license, a request for a medical evaluation or a formal DMV hearing, he said.
Meanwhile, the pedestrian struck in the accident on Maplewood Avenue said Clark shouldn't be allowed to drive.
"I think it's negligent to drive ... when you know there's something wrong with you," Kittery, Maine, resident Carla Dow told Seacoast Online. Her comments were confirmed Monday by her companion, Paul Norris.
Norris said Dow, 67, is sore everywhere and did not want to speak to reporters.
Sanders said Fuller Clark and her husband regret the accident and the injuries to Dow.
In the earlier accident, Fuller Clark's car jumped a median curb and hit a stay-right sign, Warchol said. That accident took place Sept. 8 on Greenland Road. No ticket was issued, and no other person or vehicle were involved, police said.
Sanders said that accident took place after Fuller Clark had exited Interstate 95. He said construction had taken place in the area, and Fuller Clark may have found it confusing.
Warchol said the Friday accident took place after dark. Dow was treated and released from a local hospital. The Fuller Clark automobile, a 2010 Audi, was driven away after the accident.
Sanders said Fuller Clark was not hurt. He said Fuller Clark was returning from Bretton Woods and had been at the wheel six hours that day. Three days before that, she had taken a Red Eye flight back home from San Francisco, Sanders said.
"When I take a long-distance, overnight flight, it takes me a few days to get readjusted. That may or may not have played into what happened," Sanders said.
Fuller Clark is a member of the Democratic National Committee, according to the state Democratic Party website.
She is currently serving her fourth two-year term as a state senator representing Portsmouth. She was a state representative from Portsmouth from 1990 to 2002. In 2002, she ran for the U.S. House from the First Congressional District, but lost to Republican Jeb Bradley.
She is the wife of retired physician Dr. Geoffrey Clark, and they have raised three children.

Greenbrier River Collection
Ron Guth: The 1905 Liberty Head Nickel is typical of the high-mintage dates of the 1900s. It is a very common coin across all grades up to and including MS66. The finest examples certified by PCGS include two in MS66+. Strike quality is sometimes an issue, but as can be seen on the images above, eye appeal often trumps. Look for coins with booming luster and attractive color -- these seem to get the best grades and the highest prices.

The Gospel from Ethiopia to the World
For hundreds of years churches from the West have been sending missionaries to Africa. But could one African nation become a major missionary sender in the near future? That's the question explored by CIU Seminary & School of Ministry student Jessie Udall in her master's thesis which she recently defended. In her thesis "Preparing Ethiopians for Cross-Cultural Ministry: Maximizing Missionary Training for Great Commission Impact," Udall offers an encouraging and insightful study about missions sending from Africa to the world.
CIU Intercultural Studies professor Dr. Ed Smither says the thesis is already making the rounds among those involved in theological and missiological education in Africa. The thesis is posted on CIU's Mission of God blog.

Norfolk makes a big time statement.
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 1 goal on 28 shots for the win.
First Period
WBS Wallace, (7) (Sterling, Hutchinson), 5:39 (PP)
NOR Durno, (5) (Fornataro), 11:43
Second Period
NOR Jones, (6) (Vernace, Berry), 0:46
NOR Jones, (7) (Quick, Milam), 12:27
Third Period
NOR Berry, (3) (Jones, Gudas), 19:19 (EN)
Blair Jones, Desjardins, and Chris Durno were the game's three stars.
Blair Jones' stat line for the season is becoming borderline ridiculous. The fourth year pro now has 7-9-16 in 12 games with a +7 rating. It's been a very different Blair Jones this season. Last year, after being sent down, his production went in the toilet, just as it did in past seasons. But Jones seems to be working even harder after being sent down this time.
Kevin Quick now has 7 assists in his first 14 games this season and a +7 rating. His AHL career high in points was 9 points in 49 games in 2008-2009. I'm legitimately interested in seeing if Quick continues to improve and starts to knock on the door for an NHL cup of coffee in the second half of this season, because I really believe he's a perfect fit, stylistically, for what Guy Boucher is trying to do in Tampa Bay. Radko Gudas is another guy who, after my trip to Norfolk, I think could really fit what Boucher is doing a year or two down the road. He got his fourth assist tonight in this, his rookie campaign and he's a really nice +8. The guy was a big plus player in junior too, you'll recall, with a +45 in Everett last year.
There's just so many players down in Norfolk legitimately knocking on the door for the NHL, and another wave of guys like Quick and Gudas potentially coming in behind them. It's taken over four seasons, between that last year in Springfield when the 2005 draftees like Jones came in and the three subsequent years in Norfolk, to get to this point, but the future is finally here, and it's exciting times.

2013 Rewind: Chicago breakout athlete hits and misses
Another year, another chance for Chicago athletes to dominate. Or so we thought. At the beginning of 2013, we chose 20 sports figures we thought would have a huge year. Some we knocked out of the park. As for others, well, let's just say we're big enough to admit when we're off. WAY off. Want more? Discuss this article and others on RedEye's Facebook page.

Little Noddy's Taxi Game
George S. Parker founded his game company in 1883 in Salem, Massachusetts. Five years later, his brother Charles joined the business, and the two formed Parker Brothers. While many other game manufacturers of the time incorporated moralistic themes into their products, George Parker believed that people played games for enjoyment, and he did not see the need to emphasize morals and values in his products. Some of the company's more popular early games, such as Klondike and War in Cuba, recalled important events of the day. In 1906 Parker Brothers published Rook, a card game that quickly became the best-selling game in the country. During the Great Depression, when many other toy and game manufacturers went out of business, the company introduced Monopoly, one of the most popular board games in American history. Throughout the 20th century, Parker Brothers published many other successful games including Clue, Risk, and Sorry! Additionally, the company produced drawing sets and other educational toys, puzzles, paper dolls, and children's books. In 1991 Parker Brothers became a part of toy giant Hasbro, but the Parker Brothers name has remained on games into the 21st century.

Green-friendly pesticides
Heres how to avoid chemicals that poison people, pets, and wildlife
What green-friendly lawn and garden pesticides are available today?
Pesticides have greatly boosted agricultural yields over the last half century, so it is no wonder, given the commercial availability of many of these synthetic chemicals, that American homeowners apply 100 million pounds of the stuff each year to make their own gardens grow bigger and faster, too.
But the downside of using such chemicals is that they can poison people and pets as well as backyard wildlife: "Common insecticide ingredients such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), atrazine, and dicamba have been shown to harm mouse embryos at times equivalent to the first week after conception in humans," says Erica Glasener of The Green Guide. In light of such revelations, home gardeners are fast discovering the benefits of avoiding chemicals in favor of natural, less toxic alternatives.
Before thinking about applying pesticides, gardeners can design (or redesign) their gardens to make the most of native plants that have evolved over eons to thrive in local conditions without synthetic aid or lots of water. Choosing native plants appropriate to your elevation, soil type, drainage, and sun exposure will naturally repel many common pests and also reduce the propagation of invasive exotic species.
Similarly, embedding your plants in healthy soil replete with beneficial insects and worms can also help reduce the need for pesticides. Laura Moran of Mainstreet.com suggests that home gardeners compost their vegetable food waste, which is chockfull of nutrients that plants love, and mix it into existing soil to give the garden a healthy boost. "Aside from stimulating healthy root development," she writes, "the addition of rich compost also improves soil texture, aeration, and water retention." It also provides a nice home, she says, for the beneficial bugs that are destroyed along with the bad ones by chemical pesticides.
If pesticides are necessary, there are a handful of organic varieties available. Bacillus thuringiensis ("Bt") is a naturally occurring bacterium that is lethal to most leaf-eating caterpillars on trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables. According to gardening writer Jeff Ball, it is harmless to all other insects, animals, and human beings. It comes in a powder form for use as a dust or, when diluted with water, as a spray. Organic chemists have formulated varieties of Bt to kill mosquitoes or potato beetles as well.
To control slugs in an environmentally friendly manner, The Green Guide's Glasener suggests recycling the black cell packs that vegetables and annuals are sold in by placing them (empty) upside down near the bases of plants. "Each morning, check the containers for pests, and if you find any, simply throw the container away with the pests inside," she says. You can use hollowed-out grapefruit rinds in a similar manner around the bases of plants, disposing of them if they turn up any slugs.
Pet owners may already be familiar with insecticidal soaps used to control fleas. Some of these soaps can also be used in the garden to repel insects. For more information, consult a local nursery specializing in organic methods and native plants. Using the free online Native Plants Nursery Directory, find one near you.

Tyra Banks
Born December 4, 1973, Tyra Banks has gone from ugly duckling
as a child to a supermodel on top of the world today. The Los
Angeles born nymph has been a breakthru model for the African
American community. Tyra was the first black female to appear
solo on the cover of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue.
Tyra hadn't always had dreams of becoming a supermodel, as a child
Tyra was made fun of by her schoolmates and as she says in a recent
interview "They knew I was sensitive and they'd tease me
all the time. I'd go home crying to my mom. But I got the last
laugh. Now I say, 'Is that really me?' " The issue of being
'really me' also is being brought into question with Tyra. Several

Liz Tilberis who featured her in the September 1992 relaunch issue.
Calvin Klein then signed Kate, and through his media saturation
landed her image on every magazine, bus stop, and billboard in
North America. This seemingly overnight success has not come without
criticism, however. more
Referred to tellingly as "The Body" in her native Australia,
Elle Macpherson's formidable six-foot frame has graced enough
covers of Sports Illustrated to make the auburn-haired model-turned-actress

tree-climbing tomboy as a young girl growing up Down Under. The
eldest of four children of a well-off Sydney family, she witnessed
her parents divorce at fourteen (born Eleanor Gow, Elle adopted
the surname of Macpherson when her mother remarried soon after).
Macpherson enrolled in Sydney University's pre-law program (no
doubt on the encouragement of her barrister stepfather), but her
future in law was cut short after a single year of study when
she discovered she had a ready talent for promoting an athletic-yet-voluptuous
new standard for print models more

Electrified Razortooth
Idles about and shakes head.
Pit-pattering footsteps; vocalizations (on-click)
Makes an adorable noise when clicked.
Skuttler's Shell from Timeless Isle works here. It means you can walk through without agroing mobs. I found that really useful. Since I have the legendary cloak which causes a passive AOE. This passive AOE can and does inadvertantly kill critters. So with Skuttler's Shell, you can walk pretty much everywhere and not get agro.
Can you catch this pet if you haven quested in the area at all?
This pet is by far one of the best you can find. The combination of Rip and Blood in the Water can almost always take out your enemy or if not, bring it's hp really low. The fact he has Devour means he can self heal too, these three things make him a formatible pet, and mine is one of my top ten pets. It took some time to find a rare, but it was worth the effort, just be careful to mind your surroundings while you fighting in ToT!
That pet is cool Rip and Blood in the Water is OP + Cleansing Rain is better burst in pet battle
This pet is going to become a LOT stronger with the 5.3 ability swap:
Electrified Razortooth: swapped positions of Blood In The Water and Paralyzing Shock abilities.
Means you can have Rip/Blood in the Water and your choice of Devour or Paralyzing Shock depending on PvE or PvP.
I had no problems finding these around the pools of Diremoor, but I did have problems finding better than an Uncommon. I engaged several Greens, caught two, but they seem to be limited in breed. Maybe next time.
Didn't get a single Battlestone the whole time I was on the island, either [/grump].
This pet is an optimal damage dealer for two reasons: it uses high damaging ability that requires to meet a condition (Rip w/ Blood in the Water) and a damage-rooting ability to keep the enemy from switching (Paralyzing Shock). You have to be prepared to deal with avoiding abilities, but fortunately Rip and Blood in the Water are flexible enough to wait a turn or two.
Fantastic pet, make them bleed then load 'em with damage. If you need an Elemental, I would recommend this.
I wonder why it says that 0.0% of the community has this pet. I have one, and it seems that many people already do as well.
very effective battlepet
I got a green on my first trip to Isle of Thunder at about midnight EST. He was in the swampy area next to a lvl 90 giant turtle. I fought the turtle and died but was able to click on the little fellow outside the aggro range. The only other one I found was a gray, which I left for others. Got a blue stone after my next battle :) There were many people on the island so there may have been many others.
I got a poor and won a stone two battles later:)
Judging by about 100 or so battles I've clicked so far, this pet is ONLY primary, NEVER secondary. I've found a few, definitely not as common as the snake/frog in the first stage, but the ones I HAVE found were in the swampy ring around Diremoor.
Got one this evening. It's a Green but good for now. Nice lightening animation.
These pets now seem to be spawning correctly in the wildvine marsh area, and all over the rest of the swamp areas on isle of thunder, they appear as a primary only and close to lv 25
If you are having a hard time catching this little guy due to phasing (you move in close and it disappears but you move away and it reappears) try to use an "interact with target" macro/button. I was getting really angry about not being able to get him, but finally tried this and first try I got him!
So cute. :)
Found one of these sort of on accident. He was wandering in the area where the Saurok daily quest givers are (Horde Side) in a swampy area. Did not phase out as I approached.
Hopefully that will be some useful information for anyone hoping to find one they can actually tame. Wish you luck and hope the phasing issue is resolved soon.
Managed to find one on the way to the QM on the island. He was in the swampy area there. I have, also, found a lot of phased areas that will probably be opened up as incursion in the island happens. Phasing is obviously an issue at the moment for some of the spawns of pets. Happy hunting all.
I cannot seem to tag one: they despawn as soon as I come close. the cursor doesn't even change to the paw upon hovering over the pets.
something I miss?

compiled by Teresa Martin Klaiber
May 31, 2011
Saving Voices Part 3 continues with a transcription of a cassette tape during a summer visit in 1978 with the Klaiber family and their memories of growing up in Boyd County. This segment talks about food. You never left the Klaiber home hungry nor without a jar of Elsie's wonderful sweet pickles.
John Henry Klaiber: You always had to have something to eat or drink every place you went…
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: There were these stoves …and there was these pumpkins over these drying places. You know they dried the pumpkin. And Aunt Minervy [Minerva Patton wife of William Vincent Sexton] did it that way at that old Sexton house and gave Martha [Martha Klaiber Cox] that cupboard.
John Henry Klaiber: Uh they would put a, they would make a frame and put fine wire over it and hang it up over the cook stove and they would dry their stuff that way.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Apples, beans…
John Henry Klaiber repeating over wife: Apples, beans…Teresa Martin Klaiber: I thought they hung them in the dark…
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: No over the stove to dry them.
John Henry Klaiber: Now beans
Elsie Rucker Klaiber interjecting: I used to string them and hang them out here in the sun, you know
John Henry Klaiber: Beans you would take a needle and run a string through them and pull them up.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Them's leather britches.
John Henry Klaiber: Hang them up and let dry.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: And let the flies speck em. [laughter]
Teresa Martin Klaiber: And what would you do with the dried beans then?
John Henry Klaiber: Well eat em!
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: They are called leather britches and buddy they are the gassiest things you ever eat. [laughter] Did you ever eat any Jim? Yeah I had some before Jimmy was born and the kids was up here, my nieces.
John Henry Klaiber: The bean was pretty good sized before you would string em and dry them.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber whispering so to not interrupt: You cook them all day long. … But Terri, everybody had leather britches, they called them. That was just an old fashioned name for dried beans. And then they would put them in a bag and put them away for the winter. They may put some pepper or something in there to keep the bugs away.But I had sauerkraut. I used to make sauerkraut when we was first married. And one day, I think on Monday, the kids had been here, Harolds [Harold Rucker brother of Elsie] kids. Two or three of them. They would come stay while their mother [Virginia Wiley Rucker] went to college. Mom and I went down there and she said "Elsie you take two and I'll take two. I can't stand to see those five girls there locked up in that house all day long. Their so scared." Up from Dog Fork they would throw rocks and everything you know at the house. They lived in the school house. So I said well we will take two up there then. And on a Monday we had had hard bargains. You know when you fried the chickens on Sunday we had the hard bargains. The necks and all the scrap parts instead of stewing them and make dumplings I just fried em.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: What did you call them?
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Hard bargains.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: That's the left overs?
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: No that's the part that joins the back.
John Henry Klaiber: It's the piece of the chicken that went over fence above the legs.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: It's just nothing but the bones…that is just the way we cut them…that was just an old fashioned name for them. But anyway, Terri, we had these last nest of these dried beans. I had the Kraut and the kids had gone out here on the hill. It was two years before Jimmy was born [1945] and after my first baby was born [a little girl born and died 17 April 1945]. I got over there with them and got some good berries [if berries were in it had to be June/July 1945] and we made a cobbler. And the county agent – we had a screened in porch you know – before we remodeled our house. The county agent came and John asked him to eat while I was in there. And there were all those scrappy foods.
John Henry Klaiber: Why it was Henry Pope and it wouldn't make no difference.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: And John said well we have some leather britches here and Lord we had leather britches forever. And kraut and blackberry cobbler. Oh he enjoyed it but I was so embarrassed.
John Henry Klaiber: You see the way they used to make kraut. I don't know if you know or not.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: She was never raised, her family wasn't raised [meaning that the first 11 years of my life I grew up in town.]
John Henry Klaiber: You see you would take a cloth bag and put it in a stone jar and cut your kraut up like ya was cutting slaw
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: With a kraut cutter.
John Henry Klaiber: Put the kraut down in there and make yer brine, salt brine strong enough to hold up an egg.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: That is the old fashioned way.
John Henry Klaiber: Then you pulled your cloth bag together and tied it. Poured that up over it and put you a rock down over it.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: A clean rock. You always scrubbed it.
John Henry Klaiber: Well it wouldn't always matter if it was clean or dirty [laughter].
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Terri, and you would cut the stalk. Do you know what the stalk is. That is the old fashioned name. You know the center, the part you throw away of the cabbage when you make slaw?
Teresa Martin Klaiber: The heart?
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: The heart.
John Henry Klaiber: Don't you eat that? That's the best part …
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: But pickle those and buddy they are real. And kraut juice, my mother [Barbara Elizabeth McGlothlin Rucker] couldn't keep kraut juice cause we loved it so. We'd drink it and then she'd have to make new brine. Oh it's a good laxative. … I can't have kraut now …
John Henry Klaiber: It would be made a little different from what you buy I imagine.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: It tastes better. The women make it now and just put it in quart jars and beat it down and they take a teaspoon full of salt, teaspoon full of sugar and boil in water and seal it up… then they would pickle their beans –
John Henry Klaiber: They would cover their jar over so nothing would get in it. Pickles the same way, corn. Sulphur apples –
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Oh yeah, sulphur apples are delicious. Elzema [Rucker Gallup] and Mildred [Rucker Hall] brought us some last year. You have firm apples. You put them in a barrel and you put the sulphur down in there and leave them so many days.
John Henry Klaiber: You set it afire. Get a sulphur fire and put it in a barrel and put the apples over it and let them stay there til that sulphur burns up through em. It will keep I don't know how long.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: And they are the prettiest white ones. They brought me a gallon…
Teresa Martin Klaiber: What do they taste like?
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: You just rinse that sulphur off. You just slice them and fry them or stew them and make pies. They are the most delicious things you ever saw. But she did hers in glass jars. And people pickled their corn the same way.
John Henry Klaiber: You see you killed your own meat. Salt it down. Then you'd take it up and hang it and let it drip, drain. Then you'd build a fire under it and smoke it. Then when you would get it smoked enough it got brown all over with smoke. Use Hickory or sassafras. You didn't want a fire blazing. Lay there and smoke, see. Then they'd take their meat down and wash it in alum water. Then rub it with brown sugar and black pepper.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Honey, it's delicious.
John Henry Klaiber: Then put it in a paper sack, or put a cloth over it and put it down in a cloth bag and hang it up in the smoke house and let it hang there. Then you'd have ham to eat all summer.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Then they quit using that and packed them in Morton Salt.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: I remember dad bringing some home when he would go on a country call [John Geer Martin DVM] and paying him with ham and soaking it. …John Henry Klaiber: To take the salt out of it.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: They'd use Morton's Salt. A lot of them it didn't taste good like that.
John Henry Klaiber: Well then they didn't have Morton's Salt. I expect when your dad started he got a lot of ham or chickens to help pay his bill.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: He said [John Geer Martin, veternarian] that is how he got started with these farmers. You were a baby and he said "I got to get back, I'm in the dog house. I haven't been home for supper in so many nights…been workin"
John Henry Klaiber: Used to pay the work hands. You had a work hand with you, you go down to the smoke house and cut them off a big chunk of bacon. And that would pay them for a day's work.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: …my mother would make ten gallon of pickled beans, ten gallon pickled corn, ten gallon of kraut. Then they would kill a hog. And they'd take that, well some people still …I was raised on pickled beans. My mother would get them out and fry them. We'd have a pot of corn bread, onions, tomatoes and everything.
John Henry Klaiber: Them pickled beans, let them be a little warm and sprinkle a little sugar over them. Not any better eatin.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Well I will tell you. My mother, every night, there were seven of us in the family. We had to string a whole quart, I mean a whole gallon crock full of beans. The next morning she would go out and dig some potatoes and we would scrape those potatoes. She took that big iron pot, three legged and put it on the fire and she would wash them beans and par boil them and get all the vitamins out. We didn't know any different. She would get a little slab of meat. And sometimes she would put it down in the bottom and she'd put those beans in and they were all cooking early in the morning. Right before dinner she would drop those potatoes in. Then she would go out and get cucumbers and onions and slice them up and put them in vinegar. Then slice a big platter of tomatoes. And we knew she cooked up enough beans for our dinner and we left the other part for supper. And that's what we ate and we loved it. Oh those green beans, potatoes, corn bread, cucumbers and onions.
John Henry Klaiber: You had corn bread and good ole bacon . Let the grease stay in it. Pour it out on your plate and mix your corn bread in it. Good eatin.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: I'll tell you what I liked. I was like my daddy [David Leander Rucker]. I always liked pork. Back bones and ribs cooked down to thick broth. And then make hot biscuits.
John Henry Klaiber: Terri, they'd dig out a little hole and throw straw and leaves in it and put the potatoes in it. Pile the potatoes on up. Then throw straw or leaves on over it, throw dirt all around and up over it that thick. … That would keep them all winter.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: And turnips the same way.John Henry Klaiber: And cabbage. You turn a cabbage upside down and cover it over. Let the roots stick up out of the ground and it will keep all winter.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: You would go to town in the Fall in your wagons and bet a barrel of flour and a barrel of meal. And they always had a pantry.
John Henry Klaiber: No they usually ground their own corn for meal.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: But they put the meal in one barrel and they had a great big biscuit board … that covered two barrels and we had a little pantry. And you reached down in there and got your, I seen my mother, get biscuit dough out. Get the flour and she would put it out and make a great big lot of biscuits leaving that other stuff in there. All that good buttermilk. She could pat them out and she would make pasteries. She never would make one pie. She would make half a dozen pies on the weekend. Cause you know there was company coming in car load and wagon load after wagon load. We lived in the big house there at Mavity and everyone came for the weekend from town. They would drive their, you know, buggy and drive out for the weekend to Barb's house. They made two gallon of ice cream and had a big chocolate cake.
John Henry Klaiber: Now apples. They would either put a wooden barrel or make an A frame. You didn't put them in like you did potatoes. You went into them oftener than you did potatoes. You'd always leave a door opening so you could get in there and get some apples out. … If you went in and got you some you'd get them out and then take your shovel and shovel your dirt back against the door to cover it all up.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: You had pork and chicken on Sunday and that was all you had unless somebody killed a beef. You know it would break a leg or something … and you would have the best steak you ever ate. … But Terri you didn't have to buy very much, you know, produce, from town, like we do now.

Hey Bob - saw your comments on 1825 house. I used to live in Huntsville and agree 100% on the insulation of that home. Looks like they are moving onward and upward!

It's so strange.... they buff Counterspell by lowering its CD, and then when they want to nerf it, they remove the blanket? They remove healing tools that could be used while blanketed, and then decide that it makes blankets too strong? They destroy caster silences, but Hunters only get a 4 second CD increase? (which is what they should have done to CS). So KFC's instant CC is pretty much untouched, and casters' ability to live through it is nerfed? i no unnerstand
